Birthday Mini Plushies, Bleach Rockers

It is finished!!

Here it is, the big plushie birthday project that I’ve been working on for most of April. I’m happy to present some of mine, and my sister’s, favorite Bleach characters, decked out in rocker gear.

Me and my random fandom. I had this idea a while ago, and thought it would make the perfect gift for my younger sister She and I practically share our birthdays in April, and we try to do something fun to celebrate. Since she’s been really busy with a new job, and didn’t have much of a chance to travel anywhere because of it, I got her to help me with this massive project instead!!

Rock music (or, music in general ) goes hand-in-hand with Bleach, which is what inspired this setup for the group. My sister’s drawn a couple of these metal-type comics for me, and I loved how everybody looked!! We were both raised on music like this, so inspiration came easy.

Most outfits and makeup designs were derived from the iconic band KISS. Starting with the main picture and going right:

Kenpachi Zaraki: In his freaking timeskip look!! Demon/Gene Simmons
Shunsui Kyoraku: Spaceman/ Ace Frehley
Aurora: My OC Cat girl/ Peter Criss
Jushiro Ukitake: Starchild/ Paul Stanley
Byakuya Kuchiki: Freeform; inspiration from both Kenny and Ulquiorra’s design.
Toshiro Hitsugaya: Freeform; inspiration from the undead
Ulquiorra Schiffer: …He didn’t need any more makeup; he came ready.

It was a great project to spend some time on, and work with two new characters I havent had the chance to make yet… Now all I need is a shelf to put them up on, and I’ll be good to go!!
