Tender Father

...Hush little baby don't you cry,
Daddy's going to buy you a mockingbird,
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Daddy's gonna rip it's head of and stuffing so far down it's own neck it'll be crapping it out.
- Zaraki's Lullaby

Zaraki and Yachiru love. Becuase Zaraki is just... AMAZING. I'm not one for the psychos... but damn... he's a bear, with a bear's heart... complete wiht bear mother instinct built in.

I'd imagine that as a baby Yachiru would cry occaisonally. And Zaraki would come to the rescue... either by mauling whatever it was that scared her to death, or just cuddling her until she stopped crying (if nothing was there to mangle).

This is a first for using a lighter color to tint and tone on.. up until now I was using tones varying form 5 to 10 on the scale... This probably is a 3. I'm happy with it!
