Artist's Comments

PLEASE FULL-VIEW!! Many details to be seen...

I'm pretty happy with the way this came out. Some things were the way I had envisioned them and some things are different. This is my entry for the Ichigo x Orihime Tanabata festival contest: [link]
Go check out all the other art too! It's so awesome that IchiHime's gaining popularity as a ship'. It makes me happy ^____^
Btw, for those who aren't familiar with the characters, Ichigo and Orihime are from the comic Bleach.

The song I have available for this pic is so essential to the atmosphere, that I really wish I could just have it playing automatically when you view the pic. I drew this picture to capture this song in every way I could: the poses, the colors, everything. So... go download it!

"Something I Can Never Have" by Nine Inch Nails : [link]

Lyrics:

I still recall the taste of your tears.
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore.

[Chorus:]
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have

You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now.
This thing is slowly taking me apart.
Grey would be the color if I had a heart.
Come on tell me

[Chorus]

In this place it seems like such a shame.
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see.
Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be.
Come on tell me

[Chorus]

I just want something I can never have


~~Isn't it just great, angsty and PERFECT for this couple?

No crit please ^^; I worked very hard on this ^^;

Thank you! I actually had that thought while drawing this... well, more of an errant thought like: "Oh...her kimono's going to get dirty..." and then just kept drawing. XD :floating:
