Sun and Ashes

Description

Still not sure how I feel about them being put into one image. They are a pair, and I’m afraid that if I uploaded them separately they would A) screw over the people that faved it already and B) one of the two images would be looked over by people who don’t read the comments.

On the other hand, since Orihime and Ulquiorra aren’t the same size (the borders and space taken is, but the individuals aren’t), I worry that the two cards don’t look as good right next to each other. Rawr. :(

    ~*~ SPOILERS AHEAD! ~*~
    So a lot of things led to making this picture!


  • First there was Ulquiorra’s comment to Ichigo “The sun has already set in our hands”, referring to Orihime going over to their (the Espada) side.

  • Then there was Ulquiorra’s question to Orihime about the heart, and his revelation that her heart was “in [his] hands” (already or the whole time or however you wanna translate).

  • And of course the fact that Ulquiorra’s release is essentially a vampire and he turns to ash as he has the previously stated revelation.


    Pop quiz: What happens to vampires exposed to the sun?
    Hint: They don’t sparkle.


So my logic came full circle and I just had to draw these images. I knew I didn’t want them to be in color (the hatching, I think, gives them depth without needing color) and that I wanted ornate “gothic” borders. Maybe a vague resemblance to tarot cards…? (I almost gave in and searched for borders, but didn’t find any I liked and now I’m SO HAPPY I designed them myself. I think they came out really nicely and fitting for what I wanted.)

ALL IN ALL! I really thought this out. :laughing:

….And I bet nobody actually read all that. Oh well…
Btw: Watermarks are gone, but each card is signed.
