EEEhehehehehe.....

That is all. :3

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;

Through my searching on this sight, I have not found any amazing Ilforte fan art, till now.
C8 You did well, this is just awesome.

That's awesome how you know the voice actor like that.

Also, you did the lovable bull justice with this picture.

Aww...look at his fancy Hollow-hat. Wow, this is really good! I don't think I could do this with my Prismacolor pencils...but that's because the lead keeps trying to fall out. T_T

Linake In reply to anasazidarkmoon [2009-10-19 00:54:32 +0000 UTC]

"Hollow-hat"... XD That's the funniest --and still probably the best-- description I've heard for it! Sure beats my "helmet/mask" one. *lol*

Ugh, that's the ONE THING I hate about Prismas. The lead's so soft that they break so easily.... Do you use a handheld pencil sharpener? Those seem to work better with Prismas and break less pencil leads than those bulky desktop ones...

anasazidarkmoon In reply to Linake [2009-10-19 02:25:46 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you like "Hollow-hat". Feel free to use it in the future, if you want. lol

I bought the box with 120 pencils, and it came with a sharpener, so that's what I use. It works great with some of the pencils, but I think some of them are broken all the way through, because the lead falls out as soon as I sharpen it. I absolutely love the markers, though! Those things are awesome! I have to put a blank piece of paper underneath whatever I color, though, because they'll bleed through.

He is?! o_0 I had no idea!!

No, I don't have cable, so I have to wait until the episodes come out on DVD which is why I'm so far behind.
Aside from the episodes we watched during AWA, I haven't even reached the Bount arc yet. (Which everyone tells me I'd be better off skipping so I dunno...)

It was? Was he awesome?

Linake In reply to illyria47 [2009-10-18 07:24:58 +0000 UTC]

What, Szayel's older brother? Yep! XD See? [link] (It's mentioned below his main image on the right, and a couple times in the article)
That's why you find so many fanarts of them together --usually annoying each other-- as well as...*ahem*...doujinshi...>>;

Well, the point of the Bount arc is mostly to make sense of the Hogyoku taking so much time to reach full power (and to introduce the 3 new mod souls)
It is slower, plot-wise, compared to the Soul Society and Arrancar arcs, but it's still pretty fun. (Plus, Troy voices the lead Bount villain. XD Figured you'd like that.... *lol*)

Dang, I never noticed in the game how hot he is. *mindboggle*

I REALLY need to catch up in the anime. :/

Great work, as always!

Linake In reply to illyria47 [2009-10-18 06:22:34 +0000 UTC]

That's because --at least as far as I've gotten-- we only see him in his released bull-looking form. XD Not as hot like that... *lol*
(Kinda hard to believe he's Szayel's older brother, isn't it? )

Yeah. Yeah ya do. (Speaking of which, did you see tonight's ep? Very Chad-heavy. *nodnod*)

Aww, thank ya!!

Lots of patience, neuroticism for detail, and a really good pencil sharpener. THAT'S how. *lol*

Aww, thanks so much!

I opened a tab and searched "neuroticism" but none of the definitions made any sense xD

*lol* Basically, it's kinda like being overly anxious about something, like being obsessive or psychotic.
