#screentoning

Originally, I wanted to draw a sad/angry Connie because of the Dewey Wins sneak peak clip.

Buuuut I couldn’t figure out a good pose for it.

practicing setting screentone 

One day, I will make a comic

Ahahaha I think Inktober is starting to wear me down.

Ah shoot I messed up his hair.

Alright! I think I’m back on track now!

Here’s Toshiro dressed as a watermelon and Momo dressed as a peach.

This started off cool.

But drawing Ghost!Norman is very difficult for me to capture using only the pen tool and eraser (and screentones).

Coraline looks cool though.

“I’m Lapis Lazuli!!”

Hey cool I’m on time!

They’re dressed as a heart.

Because they complete each other’s hearts.

I know that looks like Rukia, but it isn’t.

That’s her daughter, that I made up. And if you don’t know already, I ship Rukia with Sode no Shirayuki, so if you put two and two together…

Ah sorry! I wasn’t really sure how to introduce the girls, so there’ll be more information under the cut.

The girl in the middle is Saki and the one on the right is her twin sister, and shinigami, Mitsu. Saki is a zanpakuto. They are the daughters of Rukia and Sode no Shirayuki.

Now, as the children of a shinigami and her zanpakuto, they inherit most of their genes from the shinigami, with a few exceptions. For one, they have Sode no Shirayuki’s eye color. They’re also taller than Rukia (well, they will be when they get older.)

Moving onto the picture, the girls are on their first day at Shino Academy, but there’s a problem – Saki is a zanpakuto, and Shino Academy teaches shinigamis. Saki and Mitsu worked hard on the entrance exams, so when Saki learns that she can’t join the academy with her sister, she becomes pretty disheartened.

After sulking for a bit, Sode no Shirayuki talks with her. Saki reveals that she was going to accept her fate as being her sister’s zanpakuto, nothing more nothing less. This reminds Sode no Shirayuki of her own self worth issues as a zanpakuto as revealed in the zanpakuto arc from the anime. By this time, she would have already worked out most of those feelings, falling back into them every once in a while, but having not only Rukia but others to help her get through it.

Sode no Shirayuki gets kinda angry at the Academy and starts ranting about how they let a former not really traitor (Yoruichi) and a quincy (Uryu) teach at the school, but won’t let Saki learn with her sister. What she doesn’t notice is that she basically inspired Saki to go to school anyways, knowing who those teachers are since their kids are her friends. Nobody notices Saki sneaking into the school, not her saddened sister, her angry mom (who has also snuck into the school to have a word with someone), and not her captain mom (who later reprimands both her wife and her kid, but not too much. She’s too proud of them.)

And that’s pretty much it. Sorry it’s kinda long, but hey, at least there’s a cut.

Oh and it’s been roughly 200 years, so the Karakura kids are dead, explaining why Uryu is teaching at the academy.
