This idea started when I and a couple friends were looking through books of advertisements for a design project. Looking through the Absolut book, I thought for s second one of the ads read "absolut Bleach" (I think the actual word was "Beach" or "Peche" or something) Mentioned it to my friends, and we started off on a tangent about all the great Absolut Anime ads that could be made if only Absolut had the presence of mind to target us as a market. Few days later I saw the appropriate episode of Bleach (I'll omit details for the sake of spoilers) and this image just popped into my head.

Took a little while to find a high-enough resolution image of the bottle, I never did find decent sakura blossoms (had to draw them myself) and it went through several revisions on Session Zero; realigning bottles, fixing perspective, messing with the glow and so on. Finally got to this point, was happy with the response on 4Chan, so I figured I'd got on with it and submit my first wall. ^-^

The title is swedish for "Absolute Bleach"
