Bleach: Chouzan shikai

I'm really rather proud of this - the sword being so girly (it got even MORE girly Leichama!) and the little doodle hashing out Chouzan's human form.

Chouzan is Riko's zanpakutou. When she releases her zanpakutou, which she does *so* rarely, she strikes it and the blade reverberates with sound as it changes. The realm of the blade is psionics and kidou.

The rough idea for the human form is mostly me playing with design and hashing out why the blade has the name "Chouzan" in the first place. Riko and Chouzan together have very meaningful names (*snerk*) and so I wanted to try and make some sense of it. It's impossible to tell but the wings, while they do let her fly, don't actually move as the branches wrap and twine around the feathers. I need to do a larger version of this design since I happen to think she's beautiful. <3

It's my first zanpakutou design!
