Heart of Ice

Artist's Comments

This is the awesome Hitsugaya (aka Iceboy) from Bleach. This is also my second attempt at trying to age characters. I think he turned out pretty good. I used Byakuya's face as a reference and that seemed to help a lot. The ice was a little tricky, but I like the texture that I ended up with. Well I hope you all like it

He's great and sexy! But a little sad.

I couldn't find one screencap of him happy. He's always uber serious... Maybe he needs someone to cheer him up?

Perhaps... Will you draw his girl-friend?

I think the most important women in the guy's life are the main reason he's irritable...

He should have somebody even colder than he is... to overcome it!

Fight ice with ice? [emoticon] That might work... or they'd give each other frostbite [emoticon]

Love isn't without a risk! Who knows what will happen? It's only you who can decide it. I really believe every ice heart may be warmed.

True, every icy heart can be melted, but always remember that love is a lot of hard work for everyone involved [emoticon]

The colder heart you've conqured the more pleasant and valuable the victory is. Though it gives a lot of trouble it's worth it.

I haven't seen bleach yet but this guy seems to have the whole arrogant, evil [emoticon] look to him.

Really nice job [emoticon] [emoticon]
double kufos on the ice, how did you achieve that kind of look, diffusion clouds?

Actually he's a lot younger in the series. He looks about 10 years old and is just a little, maybe very moody. I couldn't find a shot of him where he wasn't furrowing his brow...

I used the leaf brush and a light blue color. I applied Gaussian Blur at about 2.5, then went with the eraser with the leaf brush again, followed by a Gaussian Blur at about 0.6... I love the leaf brush. I use it for wood textures as well.

I don't know what happened to his clothes... it's probably why he looks angry. With that body, who knows why he's modest?

This is awesome. I just LOVE Hitsugia, and its nice to see someone drawing him OLDER and sexy. I love the way the ice looks in contrast to him, outline and colour wise. You really get a cooold feeling from it.

I was really nervous about aging him, so I'm glad it looks right. Doing the ice was a lot of fun, especially the texturing. I think think the water vapor coming off of it makes it feel extra chilly [emoticon]
