Over all this is my favourite in the Bleach set so far. I've spent way more time on this one then any of the others with repainting things (the face alone was repainted over 6 times until I was happy with it). Its gone through numerous edits and I keep going back and adding details, so its hard to say how many hours I've spent total on it. But its well over 24 hours within the span of months.
Note : currently the most recent edit was done on Jan5/09
Since Byakuya is my favourite character from Bleach I thought it only fair I try and make this one of my best works!

This is great! Capturing the masculinity of Byakuya is difficult. Most of the pieces of art I have seen so far have been.... a little girlish looking. Finally, Thank you!!!!!!!!
I don't know if it is because I've been watching lotr marathon but he has an almost elvish grace about him in his movements in this pic. Which is ok, though I'd rather not associate his grateness with that of pointy eared elves. Love your work.
I keep trying to paint using photoshop and no matter what i do, i don't know how people as can achieve the incredible like this!!! Maybe some day i'll learn the secret but until then i will keep admiring incredible work such as yours!!!
Once more, I love it.
Thanks for sharing.
