Bleach Bypass River Styx Ferry Scene

A Bleach Bypass Photography image of the misty bank of the River Styx, with desaturated colors, crushed blacks and silvery highlights, seen in a three-quarter view from behind, portrait framing close on the bowing figure in the foreground. There are only three figures in the scene. In the left foreground, Judgedeath bows low and courteously like a ferryman, one clawed hand pressed to his chest and the other extended toward a narrow black boat. He has sickly green skin, and from behind we see the back of his black judge helmet, a bone shoulder pad made of stacked bone plates on his left shoulder and his dark blue ribbed judge uniform stretched over his thin, bent back. Just beyond him, facing the camera, Artorias the Abysswalker, a tall knight in weathered silver-grey plate armor with a tattered deep blue cloak and a pointed helmet with a long black plume, swaggers toward the boat with none of his usual sorrow: a laurel wreath sits crooked on his helmet, he waves a clay amphora of wine overhead and throws his other arm wide as if laughing loudly. Half hidden behind the knight's blue cloak peeks Cellval, a shy cat girl with lime-green skin and a short lime-green bob with a white letter M on her bangs, large rainbow-gradient ears and red eyes, wearing a light green collared shirt with a dark green polka-dot bow, nervously holding out a single silver coin for the fare. Dark water, cold fog and a pale grey sky with no other figures create a strange, wry, mythic mood.
