Description
Medium: Pencil, Adobe Photoshop CSTime: Aprox 20 Hours
Subject: Amata Castillo
For =peachery 's Bleach OC contest.
There's a reason Amata's not in Bleach. 8| She would not have survived long enough to even make it into the plot line. She's not very strong, and not exactly very bright when it comes to who she's picking a fight with.
She's not strong enough to have actually gotten herself real territory, so she just considers wherever she's digging to be her territory-of-the-moment and will attack anyone who's in the area. This usually takes the form of hiding in a hole and trying to cut off their feet as they walk past.
Her Zanpakuto are in the form of knives embedded in the backs of her hands. She can pull them out to use them at will. She usually only uses one at at time, but she needs to have both out in order to use her release.
In her release, her lower limbs (her legs, and the legs on her hips) are capable of stabbing and are poisonous. But unfortunately she has to be at really close range to attack at all, which leaves her pretty vulnerable.
She is however really really good at running away and digging tunnels. In her release, she also cannot stand on hard ground. So she mostly stays out in the sand.
She sometimes hangs out with this guy , who I never bothered to name, but they mostly just bicker and then Amata goes to sulk in a hole in the ground.
God I feel like I've been working on this forever...

The best advice I have is to try new things! Always try and learn more. If you have opportunities to take life drawing classes, go for it! If you have an idea, run with it, develop it, change it, and learn from it. Even if it seems weird or overdone, do it anyway and try and make it something more! Always always ALWAYS try and push your limits.
In my favs I have a whole collection of tutorials and resoruces saved: [link] Take a look at them. There's a lot to be learned there.
I hope that was helpful!

Usually when I open commissions, I mention it in my journal. So keep an eye on that! I may take a few in December when I'm on break from school.

It's coming out pretty good, I'm working on a couple other drawings too; an art trade(which I am currently taking a break on while I get some ideas for the background), a tusken raider picture(I really improved alot on drawing them, it's kinda shocking to see it up next to the one I drew a month or so ago), and I'll start the other person's prize soon.
On your picture I am working on the background, I'm going to try to draw las Noches in the background but right now I am trying to draw the sand. I'm thinking I should draw a dead hollow behind her as well.
