Tite Kubo made a similar scene of Ichigo and Orihime related to the tanabata legend of Orihime and Hikoboshi, two lovers turned stars (Vega and Altair), who meet again every year on the 7th day of the 7th month.
ā Fun fact: Orihime's name in reference to Tanabata 7/7 šš
Late, I know, butā¦! Only by two days, so Iāll still label/tag it:
Ichihime Week, Day 7: Mythical Lovers / Rainbow
I was planning on adding in magpies in the background this time, but I was getting lazy, and itās already late, so maybe next time ^^;
(Also I was thinking of making a rainbow version, but it didn't come out as I would have liked? Idk. I still think itās cute, though, so I put it under the cut)
Alrighty, listen: I really didnāt mean to wait this long to post. But, like, very shortly after Eid, my iPadās storage filled up, like, to the point I couldnāt even access my mail (thatās how I found out, pfft). I was wondering why Iād ever need 256 GB 4 years agoā¦ but still, it was $100 extra bucks. Sure, it was a grad gift, but 128 GB was expensive enoughāstill a lot of storage, tooā¦ Not enough, clearly!
Hoarding layers (and recoloring my own art, pfft) has really caught up to meā¦ but also, it wouldnāt help too much if I didnāt either. After deleting what I could bear to part with, that took away around 5 GB, but merging layers in other works barely made a dent.
So Iāve spent these past few weeks wondering what to do, thinking about emailing my 2019 (imported from my 5s) and 2020 works to an email I also created 4 years ago for some reason I totally forgot about and never used so that I donāt end up taking any space in my actual one and then uploading them onto two (since I really donāt want my files corrupting) USBs via my laptop, trying to get those USBs from Target (but since I was adamant this time in getting 256 GB USBsāI donāt want to have to worry about storage for a longgggg timeāthere were none in stock), ordering them off of eBay instead since my dad insisted on their cheapness, waiting a week for them, then transferring them to that email and uploading them onto its Google drive if the files was too bigā¦
But that was taking much too long and still left space on my iPad while I was doing it. I managed to complete the 2019 and 2020 pieces from my iPad, but it also only ended up being around 1 GBā¦ So, like, I need to clear more years (breaks my heart, it does ;~; Sure, I still have access to them via that email and those USBs, but itās not convenient anymore, and there are still pieces I plan on getting back toā¦ ackkkkk).
Contemplating it some more and discussing it with a friend, much as I abhor subscription services, I finally decided to purchase a premium membership on Ibis for that 20 GB of cloud storage. I can afford the 30 bucks a year, and I like the app anywayāserves me goodāand not having to watch an ad every 18 hours to access my go-to brushes would be nice, plus having access to the other stuff, but yeah: āšāØcloud storageāØš š¤
Anyway, Iām pretty sure a good chunk of whatās taking up my space is actually the cache, as Iām already more than halfway through my drawings, and Iām not sure if Iāll reach that 75 GB of storage Ibis was apparently taking up with just my drawings. So Iāll probably need to download everything, then delete the app and redownload it ācause stupid IOS doesnāt let you easily clear it š«
Anyway, I really thought Iād be done by now, but am notāthat said, I managed to clear out around 10 GB off of Ibis (not my iPad; I somehow managed to gain back 5?? Somewhere?? Iāve no clue; I donāt see it), which is wayyy more than enough to get one drawing done for IH week, so I paused the whole storage thing for now. I actually tried to get day oneās drawing done on the 6th, but Iām dealing with perspective thatās hurting my brain, so I decided to get day sevenās done instead, ācause I thought Iād be on timeā¦
Me? On time? Man, who knew I was so funnyā¦ š
But yeah, day seven is done! Iāll definitely revisit that day one drawing in the future, but not anytime soon. As if I wasnāt backed up already, this whole storage mess has backlogged even further, and there are other dates coming up š®āšØ And, yāknow, gotta finish the storage transfer, tooā¦ Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Anyway, on a more positive note, gradient maps are actually very neat to useāhad a little too much fun, eheh. I wonāt confess how much time I spent testing it out on this piece, but here be my favorite:
