These are various hilt desgins I came up with for my (still unamed) Bleach FanFic. If they look kinda funky, the problem is that I drew it in pencil and then outlined it with a pen and didn't bother to erase the pencil. Anyways I had this on my desk for awhile now, and I thought I should share it with you guys. I numbered'em so you could refer to them easily since I only named one.
(If you haven't figured it out by now, each soul reaper has a special desgin for their hilts. These overelaborate compared to everyone else's though.)

1. This is what came out when I thought of Naruto. It's basically the hilt desgin I thought of when I thought what would happen if Naruto became a Soul Reaper.

2. I was thinking of butterflies. XD

3. I think this was some weird desgin based on lightning. Not quite sure how it's connected though...

4.This one I was defintely thinking of ice.

5. Konza Kouryuu- (American Japanese for "Soul of the dragon that ascended to heaven.") This is the official hilt design for my character Tsune. This was actually the second design I came up for him. The first was #7.

6. Naturally when I thought of Naruto I thought of Akatsuki. This is what I imagine their hilts would be like. Simple, no?

7.The original desgin for Tsune's hilt. I asked a few of my friends which they thought was better. Almost all picked #5.

8. This one I was thinking about Matt from the first season of Digimon! (I love that show.) I thought his symbol of friendship would make a perfect hilt.

9. I was going for a poisonous flower theme.

10. Sound Wave- One of my favorites! I like this one a lot! 'nough said.
