Yoruichi Shihouin Character Ask 1

Yoruichi’s a character who’s struggled to get in appearances since debuting in that pin-up a while back, but I figured I could use this Ask to not only bring her back into the spotlight, but also set up a little Studio lore for how she’s been spending her time. I’ve mentioned the Studio’s cat cafe, Catflix & Chill, before in a previous Ask (one featuring Yoruichi’s costars here, Power and Anzu). While the cats who appear there are mostly regular cats, I thought the idea of Yoruichi going there in cat form to get pampered and relax sounded like a cute idea that could tie this Ask together.

First Shoot #19 – Nel Tu

Nelliel Tu is a character who’s been getting some attention on my Discord lately, so I decided to include her in the most recent First Shoot poll. As you can see, she won that poll, so here she is debuting. Nel shows up in Bleach around the time I dropped out of it. I can’t remember if she’d appeared yet or not when I stopped reading the manga, but I know I never got to her full-grown design. While she’s not my personal favorite girl from Bleach, she is up there, and I had some fun drawing her here.

Rukia’s Halloween Costume

So this is an idea I remember bouncing around last year, but forgot about it. Something jogged my memory at the last minute, though, and I decided to try and squeeze it out before Halloween this year. The concept is simple, it’s basically the same as the Studio Santa but for Halloween. If people seem to like it, every year I can have a randomizer pick one character from the Studio who I can then pick out a Halloween costume for and draw them wearing it in a little pin-up.
Rukia won this first one, which I think is nice for her as she hasn’t managed to make another appearance since her First Shoot yet. Rukia does appear in a succubus costume in one Halloweeny episode of Bleach, but as I recall it was in a dream sequence-type story so I don’t think it necessarily represents what she’d pick out for herself to wear. I decided instead to use Rukia’s love for bunny rabbits and give her a sexy, semi-spooky gothic bunny costume that I think suits her well.

First Shoot #8 – Rukia Kuchiki

Rukia is the second of three characters who tied in the last poll I did for this series. She’s also the first Bleach character I’ve drawn, I guess, so welcome aboard. While all of the partners for this series are random, Alice seemed like an especially random one to me, but when I was reminded of Rukia’s love of rabbits I got an idea for how to incorporate that into their interaction here.
