Woot, my first proper Bleach fanart!

And... why did I draw it?

...I saw Ichigo's underwear.

Now that you think I'm nuts; I'll explain. Since I'm cosplaying his bankai form I've been trying to find good ref of the costume- but quite early on I became aware of the fact that, since there are holes in the side of his hakama (pants) and he's not wearing a kimono underneath, there must be something else... like his underwear. After trying to find a shot where it showed, I finaly succeeded... the truth is, Ichigo isn't wearing any underwear- but bandages.... -though if he is wearing normal underwear too it's underneath the bandages! Huhu; did ya' freak out?

Then for some reason I wanted to show off his bandages, so, uh, *points* I drew it?

Oddly, though I'm only ok with it, I did reaaaaally enjoy drawing it... mostly for the muscles. I never get to draw muscles in Naruto, but I used to do DBZ so it's... it's so nice to be able to draw muscles again.

I will be drawing more Bleach; since I'm still playing catch-up with it. Also, I couldn't live with myself if my only Bleach fanart was as a direct result of trying to see Ichigo's underwear.... *shakes head* that'd just be...
