Face My Fears
And thus 3 or however many years passed… lol
Hokushin: I just like amusing situations for him to stretch his neck.
Nankai: He’s pretty expressive so it’s fun to draw his reactions.
Seizan: I feel he would be super zen and chillaxed to almost everything.
Touou: He seems like he’d be handy for sleeping on, like Snorlax. (I’ve always had this impression ever since seeing episode 104 where he prevents Yusuke from getting blown away. What that has to do with anything I dunno, that’s just how my brain works.)
Man these drawings got progressively lazier
Kuwabara couldn’t have guessed how chasing demons might affect his ability to sense ghosts - in fact he’d never would have even thought about it to begin with, if he hadn’t joined a college paranormal club. When he drags Yusuke along on a practice case, three things are obvious: 1) Oh boy is he rusty, 2) There’s no use in denying what he knows is happening and 3) the most important thing is that the spirit gets to move on.

My pieces for the Yu Yu Hakusho Big Bang @yyhbb! I’m so grateful and happy to have been assigned to this story. It’s got great Kuwabara and Yusuke interaction and harks back to the supernatural ghost story/mystery mood that the early manga had (bonus: the references back to the manga-only chapters!). Also I have a super soft spot for slice-of-life type stories and charming little girl characters.
EVP is set after the end of the series, so to capture the sense of that continuum, I wanted to draw Yusuke and Kuwabara with slightly different/somewhat more mature appearances… but still feel like these two characters, and not just two random dudes. Yusuke’s hairstyle was already starting to shift at the end, so that was a little easier. Kuwabara, I like to imagine that he finally changed his hairstyle ‘cause college life was making it too difficult to maintain that pompadour lmao. Anyways, hopefully they still carry that semblance of them-ness.
I hope you like it @kitsune-yomeiri, thank you for writing such a wonderful fic!

Wanted to doodle but was too lazy to get up from the sofa so here’s some digital finger painting👆😬 (I forgot how hard this is on a small phone lol)
