What a difference a blender pencil makes, eh? :3

Went over a few little places --and most obviously, the background-- with the colorless blender pencil, just to smooth everything out and brighten it up a bit before Ilforte goes to his new owner, Mr. Weisz.

My "sand" Prisma pencil is on life-support at the moment...



A couple days ago, I checked my email and was surprised to find that I'd gotten a note on Facebook from Ezra Weisz, the dub voice actor for Ilforte Grantz. _{(of the thousand-and-a-half ways to spell Ilforte's name, this is the one I've picked...)}
Anyway, he'd sent me a short note saying that, that morning, he'd done the last of his recording work for Bleach, and finished the note off with "(sad face)"

_*aww*


Ilforte being one of my favorite of the Arrancar, I was inspired to draw a quick giftart for him, to commemorate his role. :3
....
That, and, aside from his helmet/mask being an epic pain in the butt, Ilforte is pretty fun to draw.



Naturally, the original looks a lot better than this awful scan. ><;;


Ilforte Grantz & "Del Toro"-- Tite Kubo
Artwork-- ~Linake
Media-- 9x12 Bristol Board, Prismacolor pencils, Micron pens
Time-- About 12-15 hours. I didn't keep track, but I've had a headache ever since I finished it. I think Szayel is pissed that I didn't draw him instead and is squishing a little voodoo doll of me. o.o;
