#aiori

I've always associated her with the camellia flower (camellia japonica, 椿) which carries associations of winter in traditional japanese art and kimono prints, etc. I think it pops so beautifully against snow and the fact it blooms in the cold of winter against adversity is representative of Aiori. It also carries associations of deep love and devotion... Aiori has a prickly exterior but it gives away that she has so much love in her heart hehe

This was just a really silly comic that I had drafted up in my notebook, since I liked it so much I ended up digitalizing it. Ichigo and Izumi's childhood friend is getting married so they were invited as the bridesmaids, the groom on the other hand (Ichigo's other childhood friend but Garuru's military buddy) invited the Demon Siblings to be his groomsmen. At the reception, Garuru gets a glimpse at Ichigo and his brain goes completely blank. Literally. Composure? What's that? It's not often that Garuru gets caught off guard like this, but I can't help it, I love drawing him flustered.
