EDIT-- Tweaked a few minor things that were driving me crazy:
Added reflections of the background lightning in the water
Added highlights to his sword blades
Did some cleanup work on the ribbon charms' shading/highlights

New max file size-- 584.8 megs.

Well, nearly at the cost of my hard drive _{(My dear Uki, here, peaked at a maximum of 572.9 megs. I'm surprised my PC didn't start shooting sparks.)}, I've FINALLY finished him! I can't remember when I first started doing the preliminary sketches, but I do remember doing some clean-up sketchwork at my grandmother's Christmas get-together.


I consider the fact that I finally got Jushirou finished as being my V-Day gift to myself. |D



And he makes me feel better about my own hair turning silver prematurely, so NYAH.



Seriously though, I wanted to do a nice pic of the guy. He's such a fun, adorable character, and he's a perfect example of one who is sick but still remarkably strong. ^^ He's tied with a certain bald lunatic for being my fave Bleach character _{(andyesIsortahaveacrushonUki >_>*cough*)}, so...um....yeah. :3

Here he is.





_{(Hey Ramia! You gonna post that painting...? ;3 Hehehehe....)}

Brushes ~ ...It's 4:32am right now, and I'm tired. XD I'll do it later.
Media ~ rough sketches done in pencil & colored pencil, coloring done in Photoshop 7.0. Also used were many double cheeseburgers and more caffiene than the human mind can comprehend.
