A painting of Rukia from BLEACH.

I used a photo reference of Younha (the singer of the "Houki Boshi" ending) for the shading and a bit for the face. Younha is so pretty... ;_; So is Rukia! I hope you guys like my rendition of her... I thought her face might be a bit wider, but it's alright I guess. Her hairstyle didn't translate well, though. XD

This is like, my second ever attempt at a realistic portrait, and I learned quite a bit. Realism is really fun. :D

I was going to offer prints of this, or something, but being the idiot I am, I saved over my psd after compressing it. Haha. :O I guess I'll do another portrait and offer prints of that, lol.

I think the hair turned out great n_n
The lips are very good for her character, methinks.

Yay Rukia!
She's my fave character from bleach...

I adore the lacey bits, and the detail put into them- the eyelashes too are pretty awesome. Love this.

Plus I like how you did her in realistic form.

If homosexuality is a disease, then we should all call in gay to work. "Nope, sorry, can't come in today- still queer."

Younha! Her voice is so beautiful. <3 And she's super cute.

You're so good at realism. :3 I love the soft feel of the picture. It's interesting seeing Rukia's hair like that.
