I present to you my IshiHime Valentines Fanart for the year 2011.

I wasn't that used to drawing their Post-time skip hairstyle, so I went for the old one. I sort of made them younger here. I swore when I finished the lineart I then realized "OMG! They're like 14 or 15 years old here!" :spin: Probably the eyes, right? I wanted to convey the Shoujo vibe so I made their eyes round and innocent-like. But I ended up making Ishida look like a girl.

It doesn't really matter I guess since he's a pretty boy.

And I decided to omit the glasses. Sorry for the Megane fetish fans.

But I'm quite satisfied with his overall look.

As for Orihime, I'm very satisfied how she came out. Her smile and her pose were inspired by a real-life girl (complete stranger to me) and I happened to see her one day holding onto her boyfriend's hand while he was about to eat fries. I changed the fries into a choco ball. XD Orihime looks cute there and I'm happy!

And I added bubbles and hearts into the mix for more Shoujo essence.
