Description Well would you look at that? I posted something: a sure sign of the apocalypse.
Yes it's Kurama. Because I still like his old school goodness. Less and less people are familiar with Yu Yu Hakusho, it makes me feel old.

I nearly crapped my pants when I saw YYH cosplay at Connecticon '08.

And what better way to practice with my tablet than draw one of my favorite characters?

Photoshop CS2
Time: Um. Let's say 11 hours. Sure, I pulled that outta my a-s-squared but hey, I tried. Sounds about right

Thanks for looking!

This is fabulous, especially since it shows my favorite YYH character ever. You drew Kurama's complicated hair style very well.

... Before I degenerate into fangirlish squeals, I just have to say that your brushwork is AMAZING; I'm just staring at it and adoring it, and I really like the pinkish/redish tint... It fits so well.

And, sadly, I know what you mean... This is one of my favorite animu, and it's getting more obscure than I remember it being about ten years ago, even when it wasn't translated or anything... I'm beginning to feel old as well. ;<

Bah, but your lovely artwork makes me feel much better, especially since Kurama is my favorite anime character.^^ You've done gorgeous work, keep it up!

SonChristine In reply to Kleo-Neko [2008-09-08 04:37:44 +0000 UTC]

Even now I think this is still one of the better animes out there...even if it is older. I wish more people kept this flame alive!

Thanks so much for your praise

Kleo-Neko In reply to SonChristine [2008-09-08 22:13:05 +0000 UTC]

Ugh, yeah tell me about it... I realize that a lot of the anime I watched when I was younger made more of an impression on me just because I grew up with it, but there's still just something really special about shows like YYH... Well, you know what I mean.

And it's no problem at all! :3

Great shading, though the bangs on the right side look a little weird where the tips seem to disappear behind Kurama's eye. That aside the hair has great texture, too.

Ah, Yu Yu Hakusho. I remember watching the first few episodes on a VHS fansub back in the day. Now I feel old, too, but YYH will always be one of my favorites. When I saw that these figures were coming out as part of Weekly Shonen Jump's 40th anniversary, I had to get them! XD

SonChristine In reply to OneAmahira [2008-08-14 20:12:55 +0000 UTC]

I wasn't sure if I should fix them, ah well. Perhaps later when I have more time. But that style is actually quite common in low budget anime programs, especially older shows...

And WOW, VHS fansubs! I got bootleg DVDs with crappy subtitling probably done by people in some basement. Awesome figures too
Thanks for looking!

OneAmahira In reply to SonChristine [2008-08-14 21:07:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it just looked weird because it isn't cutting off the tips behind his other eye so much. ^_^; And you're welcome

I have reached 208 Ogata songs on my ipod. Haha. So, if you ever want to hear more, just let me know. I like sharing~ Also, 14 Yuki Kaida, but you probably already have them.
