Description For contest.

Joséfuro Furáncisucosu it Ariásu

aka Josefo

Josefo was a very small Adjuchas that fed viciously on the smallest hollows. Even though he was an Adjuchas, his power and size were nothing to be counted on. Still, his fiery attacks on his small victims attracted Aizen's attention who made him his pet. Aizen fed Josefo with large Hollows and Arrancars corpses. And seeing him eat them with an almost delusional desperation amused Aizen to no end. When Aizen turned him into an Arrancar, Josefo turned out to be somehow wise. But still would go wild at the slight sight of some edible corpse. So Aizen may have some deep talks with him and end them by feeding him to entertain himself in Josefo's meal frenzy.

Josefo is aknowledged as the Cero Espada. But since the Cero stands for no value, it is only a symbolic title for being Aizen's pet his fighting abilities being just above a Shini-gami Liutenant.

His sword, "Osamenta" (bones, skeleton), is all torned up and unleashes his Hollow form by the cry "destroza" (break into pieces, smash). Josefo puts Osamenta in his mouth and bites it. Then along with the cry he un-sheaths Osamenta from his teeth (taking some of them in the process).

Josefo's favorite topics are philosophy and almost anything the like (aka, anything useless : D). Nevertheless, Aizen seems to get some interesting ideas by talking with him or just resting his mind while listening at his infinite rambling.

---------------------------------------------------

Okay, here’s my Espada… it’s so damn messy… wish I knew some Photoshop… or anatomy… or all the things that makes a draw pretty : P.

For the first time in ages (maybe in my entire life) I tried drawing a self-portrait and it was… ahm… Weird? Hard? Dunno, but still interesting. I tried making his expression just like mine. I’m usually calm and well-behaved, but like Josefo I enter frenzy mode every now and then. And just as him, I’m your average weakling… and pretty ravenous when I’m hungry.

I tried making it Bleachy following Kubo Tite’s style, and at first it looked a lot like Stark. I hope I was able to correct that.

He's kind of a Deynonichus, one of my favorite dinosaurs. Long before I even knew there existed a thing named Velociraptor. The Deynonichus claws are one of the most awesome things Nature has invented.

I'm a philosophy student and have interests in a lot of useless things. Also, I love to talk and talk until I notice nobody’s following. I also talk quite fast, so half of what I say sounds like your average crazy-guy mumbling.

In the draw you can see his sword and his unreleased state on the right. His number is on his chest.

You can see his original Adjuchas too ^_^.

He’s supposed to be kind of “hollow” on his chest area only having his ribs to show (maybe I’m kind of an exhibitionist). And his hollow hole is on his left hand (I dunno why, since I'm right-handed).

I do have an earring on my left ear and it’s the same depicted in the draw. I had a very hard time coming up with a “mask” both for the released and unreleased state. At first, the released state was going to be some kind of crown with three bone-feathers falling along his hair. But hen I came with the idea of using that kind of old cap and I loved it. Until a few weeks ago I did have a cap like that (sad story, lost it in Wal-Mart).

For the unreleased state I was going to use half-mask covering half his face but that was quite common in Bleach. So after a lot of thinking… The idea of making the stripes along his cheeks came along with the fact that I usually have rings under my eyes. The pair of animal-like ears was a friend’s idea, since she always talked of how mi cap would look like ears when I wore it the other way around.

Hope you liked it.

PS: I do have long hair, even messier that the one depicted. And I usually have it tied in a very weird and girly fashion that I failed to draw… but still tried : P.
PS2: And yeah, I had lots of funs making it, thanks!!

Really great! I dont think it needs photoshop...people who can draw well can make a draw look nice without photoshop (as you did and I wish that I could)...I find it kind of depressing that nearly all popular art is made there, whatever happened to traditional art?
