HeM sketch

I'd like to say it was a quick sketch, but it took a while.
Need to get used to Bleach style again and then I'll draw more scenes. Gotta get a softer pencil too.

Drawn for Hogyoku ex Machina by Mac Ceallach: [link]

Amazing Bleach time-travel fic. Who knew watching the same thing over again could be so entertaining?

Fic clip:

"We came back. We're at the beginning again. Shit. Stupid rock." He closed his eyes, facing the inevitable. "I lost."

"No, Ichigo," his sword said, speaking for the first time, "he retreated. He ran, and we still live. It was not a victory, but we were not defeated."

"Try not to move, Kurosaki-san. Your wounds are not fully healed, and we have not been able to increase your reiatsu at all. Every time we try to restore it, it fades away. Your companions say that you must be conscious to change that." She looked at them all. "Please, try not to strain yourselves. You are still very weak."

"Che. We'll do what we have to," the hollow said sneeringly.

"I said, hollow-san," Unohana repeated with a smile on her face, "please try not to strain yourselves."

The pale boy looked at her, wide-eyed and with shivers going down his spine, then nodded almost mechanically. Unohana left the room while Ichigo coughed, managing to stifle the laughter bubbling up from deep within him.
