Ban-kai...

A B-day gift for who wanted a Bleach fanart
for her birthday. Her favourite character from Bleach is none
other than Ikkaku Madarame from Squad 11.

Hope you like it Ildi!

When I stood above the paper waiting for the arriving of my
inspiration, I thought why should I draw only Ikkaku himself
on a BIG A/4 paper, when I can make an OC about Ildikeeee
and make a poster-like B-day gift. „Awesome” – I thought.
And I began to draw. Of course I used some (lots of) references
for Ikkaku, like: [link] or [link]

So I made Ikkaku, but I had to create an OC for .
Ikkaku is a raw-powered shinigami, and only knows the fight, so
I came up with the Arrancar OC idea. She could be from Tia
Halibel’s fracción. But that stay as a dream…
The Arrancars name is Nieves Itziar, and she says:
„Guayar… Gato Montés!!!” – „Yowl… Wildcat!!!”

(~Nieves: In Spanish derived from the title of the Virgin Mary Nuestra Señora de las Nieves meaning "Our Lady of the Snows")
(~Itziar: From the name of a Basque village, which contains an important shrine to the Virgin Mary, possibly meaning "old stone".)

For the logo, I used this logo generator: [link]
Have fun boys’n’girls!!!
