Outlier's Colourings and Graphics

[Polgarena]

That really looks like the anime style. Bleach has that glow, more of it, compared to other animes, although it appears stronger on your painting.

 

[NeoPlatonist]

Dude...

You are so incredibly talented. Those colorings of Ichigo make me so happy - I love both versions equally.

 

[The Outlier]

I did an edit and re-paint of Rukia captured from the Bleach TYBW teaser...My aim was to make it a personal wallpaper of it...I tried to make it ice-stormy and windy with a touch of vintage theme overall and since it's winter, I feel it suits that. Happy winters!!!

Just beautiful. That image from the Anime Teaser was quite striking and your treatment of it with the sepia finish adding the weathering and distressed lines is really, really cool. A winter wonderland. It reminds me of vintage photos of artic expeditions. Thanks for posting!

Thank you NeoPlatonist and Polgarena...
===============================

This was a request by a certain someone...

I extracted Ichigo from the Bleach Anime Key Visual and removed the background and texts...
The official anime site also has the extracted Ichigo without background, but it's incomplete...

The anime site uses separate background orange colour which has the official hex colour code "#f6832e" in its source.

Spoiler

I didn't remove orange from the hilt and eyes deliberately because it wouldn't make sense to do that...(It's easy to recolor on them if someone wants, so I didn't feel it was necessary to remove)...I'm pretty sure you won't find this anywhere on the internet (as of yet), so it was a good request...Feel free to experiment with it and do whatever you want with it.

This is the one with official background colour #f6832e behind it:

Spoiler

If I would find some time tonight or tomorrow, I perhaps might try to do something with it like I did with Rukia before...

=====================================

Update:
I did find some time to play with and this is what I did:

Spoiler

This was inspired from the official Bleach EX artwork of Hollow Ichigo...The reddish theme was inspired from B in TYBW title (and one of my meanings of my real name to some extent)...

This was another one that I eventually discarded....

Spoiler

This was also inspired from the official Bleach EX first artwork...

The following is also my discarded one...It was a cardboard cut-out theme I tried to do with no background:

[NeoPlatonist]

Wonderful! I was going to try to clean up this version of the poster to play with:

Spoiler

But it's very hard for me to clean, as I have to do all of the edges slowly by hand and it takes forever. You've made it so simple by uploading that clean, high definition PNG file to IMGUR. Thank you so much!

 

[The Outlier]

Thank you very much NeoPlatonist...I'm glad you found the Ichigo image helpful...
=======================

HAPPY NEW YEAR and HAPPY BIRTDAY (Urahara Kisuke)...

I had time to do more before I go to an awfully long journey tomorrow...I did some more Ichigo edits to wish Happy New Year!

Spoiler

This (above) was inspired from the fake coin inscription of the coin that I found after so many years in my home...It is my childhood memory. The text in Japanese says "Happy New Year"...I wonder if Bleach was a country with a state bank, it would be Ichigo's face printed on all coins and notes!

The following are some other styles I did:

The following is an all-in-one Ichigo post for better viewing (previous post's included):

==================

The following is a re-colouring to an extent and an edit I did to celebrate Urahara's Birthday...I am posting this today because tomorrow, I would go to a long journey, and I might not be able to post then...So, it's Happy Birthday in advance!

Spoiler

Speaking of Urahara's Birthday, there is a special drink being served in Chugai Grace Cafe in Japan to celebrate Bleach Ex and Urahara's birthay. I shared that news in Bleach Ex. thread and I wonder how it would taste like...

This was long overdue!

Hello guys, I did a colouring of one of my favourite characters...

I did this on my phone with my index finger, and this time I managed to record my timelapse! Sometimes I would forget to record timelapse, and would realize it after sometimes, but it's more than 90% complete and quite lengthy to watch!

I tried to combine a scrapbook card cutout surface and semi-anime style in this...

I am feeling so much embarrassed to share timelapse because I do crazy things. It's like a person in chemistry lab doing crazy things and recording explosions on top of it.

This now completes all my favourite characters. I mean I did something (a fanart, colouring or GFX) involving my favourite characters of Bleach in this thread. With that last thing, my favourite characters of Bleach are complete in this thread...

Timelapse:

Full-size:

Other size:

If you would watch timelapse, let me know the two songs which I added in it. I included them because of of instruments that would attract snakes!!!

 

[NeoPlatonist]

I have to say that what you manage to do on your MOBILE with your FINGER is better than my best colorization on computer taking me multiple hours to complete. What a talented person you are - wow!

I loved watching you create Cyan in the time-lapse. Beautiful re-drawing and what a wonderful re-creation of her Adjuchas incarnation - just gorgeous. Such painstaking shading work - erasing, re-doing, erasing again. I loved every bit of it.

Well done!

Before sharing things which I really want to share, I want to confess something first so that it gets out of the way. I was working on a special BLEACH Video Custom Trailer which I wanted to complete this month. I wanted to make that combining my custom visuals from my library. The project has failed, or should I say, it had gotten to the point that I abandoned it. The main reason was time constraint and behind that, it was the tiring process of finding the videos from my collection library, and extracting the desired visuals.

Because I wanted to include all important visuals of the videos from whole of the BLEACH, it required mental stamina. The editing part wasn't tough. The actual tough part was to watch the videos from my collection library and extracting out the visuals from it. My priority was to highlight at least 7 key characters from the whole BLEACH and emphasize their whole story in the trailer. Anyway, it's fruitless to talk about it.

I could have put together visuals from already existing online videos and that would have required less time, but I find it unethical to do that. Also, their editing of visuals would never synchronize with what I wanted to do with my custom music rhythms. I figured the only way this project could succeed is that I would have to rewatch whole of the BLEACH from A to Z and while watching, I would extract the visuals episode by episode and would make specialized folders of characters. The extracted visuals would go to the desired characters folders and from that, I would use the resources in my edits. This would also give me a reference for the future too. If life gave me a chance to watch whole BLEACH again, I would do that. Until then, the project is doomed

There are some (incomplete) things which I wanted to share from that project just to cool down my heart at this moment. This first one is the Rukia's part I was working on. It was the part of the main trailer. The music wasn't final. Here it is:

Also, I actually animated two still images of Yamamoto and Yhwach to add in that trailer project. These aren't fancy animations, but just enough to feel like the images move for a second. My plan was to use them in fast cut transitions along with some official BBS artwork of them in that abandoned trailer.

There was a Kenpachi meteoroid moment in my trailer which I wanted to highlight with this visual I found from a resource stock:

I had planned to use different musical themes for different characters in the trailer. There are some more unfinished things to share, but because the original project is suspended, so are them.
================

Now to the actual post.

I had planned this to finish in our hour, but that one hour became several hours, and those several hours transformed to two days lol. I have done some (50 to be honest) edits of the screenshots from BLEACH TYBW Trailer. My goal was to capture those shots which are not mainstream in Twitter or other social media yet. I felt like I had become a photographer to capture the shots at the critical moment. Even more like a director asking to cut the action of Bleach actors (characters) and retake it.

Note: Watch the 50 visuals in full screen if possible.

Thank you so much NeoPlatonist. Your words always motivate me. Previously, I mentioned that I had done all my favourite characters, but later realized there were two favourite characters of mine which were left. I am thinking of making a fanart of them.
