Shirosaki in colour

After reading debbiechan's "Invisible Writing" (which you can find on her LJ: [link]), I got inspired to do a little AU/Futureverse writing myself. I only wrote two snippets so far, but if you're perhaps interested in finding out what it deals with, you can find it at: [link]

I haven't started writing new stuff yet, but I did manage to finish this drawing. Hopefully it'll inspire me to finally finish a story.

I will need to explain something first, namely: Shiro won't look much like a Hollow (like Ichigo did during the Vaizard trial thingy)in my story. In fact, he very much still looks like Ichigo...except that his eyes are permanently black, his pupils yellow/orange, his complexion is a lot paler and his orange hair is even brighter. Oh...and I've given him a tattoo(not very original, I know ).

The tattoo I just mentioned is a "1" and although it may look that way, it doesn't have that much to do with the Espada. The "1" is because he believes that he's stronger than Aizen's lapdogs, but it's also mostly because of Ichigo. The tattoo is a constant reminder that he needs to become stronger since he wants to stay "king" and doesn't want to go back to being the "horse" to Ichigo's "king". He doesn't always need to wear his mask, because he's strong enough to keep Ichigo at bay.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
