Description Because I needed to do things for Otakon. Its Renji, Kira, and Hinamori of Bleach from when they were up-and-coming shinigami still learning in the academy. For those who don't get it, Kira was getting flustered because of Hinamori, so Renji decided to take over. Based off of a scene from the side chapter in Bleach. Renji's nicer here than that scene, so no complaining. Tried a different method of coloring, but it ended up looking much like all of my other pictures. Oh well. Suggestions are welcome, especially on the shadow and the wood. They were the last things I did and it shows. Also, those who wish to submit art at Otakon please contact me at some point. You know who you are.

yeah, ditto xine and eggy on the wood and shadows. i think the clouds should be parallel to the picture plane and not to the wooden railing. that might make it look more natural and balanced. but i like it, it's a really cute picture overall.

What x-ine said about the wood and the shadows. I like the coloring a lot and momo's cute. I think the lineart and the whole thing looks sorta... stiff. I don't know how to put it. But still, it's good and I'm sure it will sell seeing as how bleach is getting so popular.

Aww I like the look on Kira's face.
I think the wood needs more texture and the shadows should be longer but it's not that noticeable.
