Byakuya
Kuchiki is captain of the Gotei 13's 6th division. Therefore, he is
the guarantor of law and order. He despises anyone who will act
against them. That's the reason why he did not oppose his
step-sister – Rukia's arrest, even if he was hurt. Seemingly
cold-hearted and scornful, he is in fact the heir of the long
history of the Kuchiki clan, one of the four major noble families
of Soul Society. The truth is he is always trying to act as he is
intended to and with dignity.
Byakuya is a character whose apparent
calm is actually hide an enormous power.
Our challenge was to get this conflictive
aspect of the man. Byakuya's face displays a one-of-a-kind phlegm
whereas his body and his decided pose reveal his power. Notre défi
consistait donc à restituer cet apscet contradictoire. Le visage de
Byakuya affiche un flegme sans pareil tandis que sa pose décidée
affirme sa puissance. The work of draping is pushed to the maximum,
white mantle got many effects.
Of course, the head is full of details,
some of them are the accessories Byakuya has in his
hair.
He keeps his zanpakuto in its sheath and
very few have had the opportunity to see it.
