A Feature of Inspiring Fanart.

Because of my NaNoWriMo project, I've decided to do a feature for art that are centered around the Bleach character 'Grimmjow' - who has been fun to write alongside Team 7 these past few days. All the art here was rather inspirational in some form or the other for my writing up till now and I felt the need to thank them in my own way.

Grimmjow- The Panther King by grindpantera0219

This fanart actually gave me the plot bunny for my story ages ago. I can't quite explain why the picture gave me a plot-bunny for a crossover story, but I'm very glad it did. I would have left a comment on the page, but I don't have a dA account (even though I lurk there all the time).  So this is my thanks to the artist for inspiring me with a crazy but fun idea.



Bleach- Why tea only? by Washu-M 
Washu-M has a lot of funny comics- a lot of them with Grimmjow in them. Those comics actually made me feel a lot more comfortable about writing silly humour. More than that, the comics made me crack a smile when I got too stressed out. I definitely recommend going through Washu-M's comics for some light-hearted humour when you have some free time.



Bloody Macabre Halloween by blackstorm

As the title suggests, this is a picture of Grimmjow covered in blood. Even though he's covered in blood and looking rather insane- that's perfect because that's just how Grimmjow is- and this picture acted as a good reminder for me.

Of course, I did end up writing a lot of fighting and killing- which I have toned down- too much blood does get repetitive.



Bleach- RePantera by AkiMao

There isn't a lot of art of Grimmjow in his adjhucas form (at least I never saw any). But among the few that are there, this one really stands out to me.

It really has it's own unique mood and somehow manages to convey a different aspect of Grimmjow's attitude- and even a mixture of things, the longer you stare at it. 


I'm really finding this year's NaNoWriMo odd, not because it's fanfiction or anything like that. It's just how I seem so much more eager to write the story backwards- i.e) the ending bits first (I have the final scene done!).

I've actually noticed this happening while writing for AtO as well- I write out bits of future chapters and even the epilogue easily but when I have to work on the chapter that needs to be published next I'm find myself not able to concentrate and work on it. But I only took proper notice of it when I was writing this story.

In a way, it's nice for me as a writer- like I know for sure that I know what's happening and how I want to resolve my story.  I suppose this would work well if I'm writing a proper fiction novel (but that's not how I wrote last year's NaNoWriMo- then again I never had a proper ending for that story...)

But for fanfiction readers- it's probably very annoying since I can't really upload anything even though I'm writing so much. Future chapters will only make sense if I write out the previous chapters. 

Polar.
P.S. When I finally upload all my NaNoWriMo story's chapters online- I'll definitely do a Team 7 fanart feature!
