Second front cover design which was also inspired by Bleach’s manga covers

This one is my favourite design purely because I think the size of the characters were just right and this shows a bit more story about this character The Devil Cleaner. Considering that he looks as if he is a monster on the battlefield but because of the title for the chapter he is a clean freak who always cleans after every battle and is mostly kept company by a tiny oni imp companion.

For me this was a pretty good one to show off a character doing something other than looking like he’s a bout to kill someone but actually see another side of that character, a more gentle and peaceful like side.

The masking layer technique is really fun to use more an more when getting this effect with the title switching between 2 colours on the cover and really makes it a lot more interesting to look at.

ちぃたん☆全動画まとめ Japanese Crazy Local mascot 'Chitan☆' 【HD】

Chiitan is a Japanese mascot which was formerly a self-declared unofficial representative of the small port city of Susaki. It is a self-described "0-year-old fairy baby" otter with no gender that wears a turtle as a hat. The mascot was created in 2017 and participated in videos and events with government officials and Susaki's official city mascot, Shinjo-kun. Chiitan gained popularity through its unusual YouTube videos and social media posts in which it performed various clumsy or violent stunts. It became one of the most popular mascots in Japan in 2018, and at its height had nearly a million followers on Twitter.

In January 2019 complaints about the controversial nature of Chiitan's videos and social media posts led Susaki officials to reject its association with the mascot. In addition to excluding the mascot from official events, the government of Susaki claimed that it held the copyright for Chiitan's likeness and threatened to sue the company responsible for managing Chiitan if it continued to produce media content with the character. In April 2019 the mascot was featured on an episode of HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. The episode praised Chiitan's antics but led its host, John Oliver, to create a replacement mascot-friend for Shinjo-kun. Following the episode, Chiitan challenged Oliver to a fight on Twitter for stealing its friend, shortly after which its Twitter accounts were suspended without warning. Several other media companies cancelled projects they had to collaborate with Chiitan in 2019, but it remains popular on other social media platforms.

The beginning of the second front cover design

[marsjapankieransteggles]

The first front cover design which I learned to mask layers to get this really nice effect with the title

I basically copied the main layer with the character and then selected the mask layer option to turn it black and white. You can also invert the colours so they show the other way around being the inside of the character is all white and the outside is black.

Then it was just the matter of putting in text, choosing a colour for that text and then putting it with the mask layer to create an effect showing the text being white when overlapping the character while the outside staying red.

Bleach Manga Covers designed by Tite Kubo.

After completing my character designs I also wanted to make my own manga cover for them as wetland I’ve always loved Tite Kubo’s manga cover designs and his use of a single colour in multiple shades for most of his Bleach manga covers so I wanted to implement that kind of style into my covers too.

Continued development of front cover

The Devil Cleaner

A blood magic samurai wearing a hound like mask with red highlights and wielding a massive glaive but in secret it is normally used a mop due to him being a clean freak after every battle.

A monster with no equal, inhuman strength that is capable of taking on legions of Oni. The Devil Cleaner has earned his name well and gains the attention of even the most deadly Oni

[marsjapankieransteggles]

The Severing Blossom 

A female blood samurai that ignores the rules of a Blood Rai’s dress code and continues to wear her pink flower  kimono instead.

Lightning fast as every enemy that has played eyes on her has never lived to tell the tale of the Severing Blossom

Kanji (漢字, pronounced [kaɲdʑi] (listen)) are the adopted logographic Chinese characters that are used in the Japanese writing system. They are used alongside the Japanese syllabic scripts hiragana and katakana. The Japanese term kanji for the Chinese characters literally means "Han characters" It is written with the same characters as in Traditional Chinese to refer to the character writing system, hanzi (漢字).

I looked into Kanji symbols so I can make nicknames for my characters

Infinity Bullet (wanted to call her Infinity Missile but couldn’t find a Kanji symbol for that word)

What makes a Blood Rai dangerous is their thirst for blood and their strong emotions as to even become a Blood Rai, you must be both physically and mentally stable to undergo the transformation. Children however is a special case as they can be prepared too but takes a lot of training but their mental state must always be kept in check as there is nothing more deadlier than a child’s bloodthirsty rage

Wielding her trusty sam launcher called LE BIG BOB she is considered to be the most helpful in the extermination of the Oni as she is capable of firing an infinite amount of missiles created from her own blood.

Crimson Moon

An unstable Blood Rai with an unusual blood type as even his weapon does not match any date of any Blood Rai. His crimson blade has the ability to allow his blood to burn like fire, a dangerous technique that was forbidden as it has a high chance or melting you from the inside if you don’t maintain stability over your blood. Crimson Moon has a sworn duty to take revenge on the Oni that destroyed his home village and family which often leads to his rage being uncontrollable at times resulting in him unlocking his Burning Blood technique
