About the work.

The grin does most of the talking. In Frank Tzeng's interpretation of Kenpachi Zaraki, the deeply carved expression, long facial scar and eyepatch give the Bleach character an immediate presence. His pointed hair silhouette remains recognisable as the surfaces shift towards a more realistic treatment.

Tzeng describes the project on ArtStation as a work in progress from 2014. The original presentation includes a coloured character view, a two-view colour sheet, a monochrome portrait and a sheet of clothed character views. Together, they move from facial detail to the coat, sword and overall silhouette.

All four source images are presented in their complete frames, including the artist's WIP labels, signature and embedded Bleach marks. This is independent fan art by Frank Tzeng. Kenpachi Zaraki and Bleach were created by Tite Kubo.
