EDIT: wow, it's surprising what a little change will do... i just went back and switched the filter to black and white.... soooo much better this way.... hope you enjoy the slight difference! ^^

wait, what? i'm-i'm actually posting something???!!?? holy crack! yeah, i know... it's been far too long... well, there you go.. that's life... and i left my comic at home... so odd's are that won't be posted for another month... *sighs* newho, this picture...

"'Gods,' he murmured, his voice hoarse from Karura's screaming. 'I never want to do that again.'

"Ukitake's chuckle died in his throat when Hitsugaya suddenly coughed and gagged, a deep crimson liquid spilling out of his mouth and over his lower lip, his eyes rolling back to show only the whites. Ukitake could have sworn his heart stopped. Blood. Unohana called Hitsugaya's name desperately just before he limply collapsed out of the chair and into Unohana's arms, unconscious."

This is an excerpt from the last bit of the most recent chapter of a fanfiction entitled resilience by bakabokken. the story is available on fanfiction.net linked here. [link] It's actually the sequel to another story, which i recommend you read first, or it gets confusing rather quickly. it's entitled endurance and linked here. [link]

i strongly suggest you read it because it is AMAZING! though, not hitsuhina.. *sniffles* newho, to the artwork itself! it is a fanart to go with the fanfiction... though i didn't bother drawing the other characters present, i'm sure you can imagine why... no room for the words and seeing as how i've never drawn them before, quite awkward. imagine this as being the moment right as he passes out, just before sliding off the chair, eh? and ukitake and unohana are right there, just off to the side, and therefore cut out of the picture....

i'm actually very happy with how this turned out... *smiles to self* i think the only real thing bugging me is the legs are a bit short.... his feet could use a little work i suppose, but are sufficient... and i'm not quite sure how accurate his injuries are... let's just say i didn't double check... *sweat drop* i'm actually VERY happy with the shading on this one! ^_^ as compared to my first hitsuchan, it's not overdone at all, which pleases me greatly... i just went with simplicity, figuring that's what they do in the manga anyway.. *shrugs* anyway, i love it... though i did sort of skimp on the chair... shhh, i'm lazy... ^_^ so that's it for now! though i may have another fanart for bakabokken in the future...

i hope you like!
