Once BurnedTitle: Once Burned

Orihime is like the sun.

That's what Ichigo thinks.

Like the sun at the precise instant of dawn, when light breaks free over the horizon, bathing the world in honeyed warmth. Orihime is the place where hope solidifies into courage. The moment of change.

He lets his eyes flick toward where she sits, lunch half-eaten, dazed and quiet, in a dream, in another world.

He wonders what she sees.

And around her, the world continues to drone, but it's muted and indiscriminant, dull against the radiance of her. It bustles. She glows. Luminous and pure, impossibly brilliant.

Untouchable.

Even just watching her makes him
If Dreams DieShe's a problem, he thinks, watching the forever moon hang over the white sea of Hueco Mundo, not the amusing diversion he had imagined her to be. Now, she's a hindrance, a torment, a complication. It's strange. Regret isn't familiar to him. It makes him cringe inside his own skin, hot and unsatisfied. One big fucking joke, but he's not laughing anymore.

Every moment is a chance to fix his mistake, a chance to wipe the slate clean, yet he never does. There's always tomorrow, and tomorrow turns into the next day and the next.

Exasperated, he searches for where he strayed from his original intent, claws himself apart to locate the place it al

Critique by !Halethewolfman Apr 27, 2012, 11:25:34 AM
Hmmm. This is done very well. It is very interesting to explore the darker side of Inoue-san and something not a lot of people do, adding said darker side with Kurosaki's hollow is very interesting as well and again, not done very much.

The picture is very original, it looks very professional and all the proportions seem to be correct. The shadows and lighting are excellent.

Five stars on impact because this picture really hits you hard, because seeing Inoue-san this way is somthing that you really don't see.

Four on originality, only because there are a couple pictures with Inoue-san and the hollow.

Four point five on vision, because there seems to be something a little off, but I can't be entierly sure if it's something in the lines or in the proportions, but it's really not a big thing. Just something small.

Technique seems just fine to me and it would be lovely to see more of these excellent works.
