[Update!]
Some people had commented that Urahara looked too sketchy and that maybe I should do a vector instead. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do a vector at the moment, so I've darkened him up a bit. Hopefully that works better >< I'll try to vector him after my exams. I'm still planning to keep the 'watercolour' look though :)

Also, I've changed the characters on the "seal" to the Kanji for "Kubo" (the surname of Bleach's mangaka for the uninitiated). I could have kicked myself for not thinking of him earlier (yes you can kick me too). He deserves all the credit for drawing that awesome Urahara!

------------------------

Another Urahara wall! And my third wallpaper :)

I was just messing around with Illustrator when I realised that I could give images this "watercolour" look (sorry I'm still new at this ><). So I did another "parchment" wallpaper. Only this time round it's "Dampened, textured paper" according to bittered on deviantArt. I'm pretty happy with this one because I think it looks rather realistic. I'm not too sure about you so feel free to criticise if you think it doesn't

I had a hard time trying to decipher the Kanji in order to type out the words (I couldn't see the furigana clearly in the manga scan I had). So you better appreciate it hurhur...Just kidding The Chinese words in the "seal" is actually my Chinese name, so it's effectively my signature :) Unfortunately official sigs have to be in English :(

The full quote by Urahara is here:

I'm really...Really disappointed.

Kurosaki...In your sword, all I see is "fear".

When you attack, “I’m afraid of cutting someone”.
Even when you try to protect someone; “I’m afraid of letting them die”.
Yes, your sword only speaks to me of absurd fear.
That’s not it.
What’s neccesary in a fight isn’t fear.
Nothing can be born from that.

If you dodge, “I won’t let them cut me”.
If you protect someone, “I won’t let them die”.
If you attack, “I’ll cut them”.

Well can’t you see…
… the resolve to cut you reflected in my sword?

Urahara said that to Ichigo while he was training him. I thought that was kick-ass :)

I know I keep repeating this, but...Thanks for viewing! Do comment if you have any critiques/suggestions! :D

P.S. This is probably the last wall I'll do this year...Got major exams coming up. So my inactivity ranking is probably gonna increase heh. Maybe I'll do celebratory walls when I'm back XD
