Alright, so first things first. If you photoshop an image and it is actually tasteful, it doesn't break any policies here, so go right ahead on that.

Kawa is correct. Many people think Arrancar and Hollow are different, but... they aren't. Arrancar have just underwent a transformation allowing them to obtain Shinigami-like powers, such as the method of manifesting their souls into Zanpakuto. But Shinigami whom have Hollowfied are still classified as just Shinigami. So Hollows are still Hollows even as Arrancar. Harribel even said that Ichigo fighting Grimmjow was like that of Two Espadas fighting. Because Ichigo's hollowfied reiatsu felt like that of an Espada's, whom of which are Arrancar.

Quincy with Hollow powers COULD work, just not offsprings between them. I've long theorized of Quincies undergoing Hollowfication and it is a project worth pursuing.

And Blank, they didn't manipulate them at all. It's already been stated several times that the power of Reishi Manipulation comes from the Quincy Cross, meaning anybody with a Quincy Cross and spiritual awareness can use Quincy powers, sadly enough. Ivan had a Quincy cross, so there you go.
