Fanart: Yu Yu Hakusho

Well, yeah, I don’t know how it happened, but looks like I’m fangirling over Yu Yu Hakusho… again.
It all started out with me finishing some homework in my sister’s room. She then played a song fitting of the moment - Homework Never Ends (we’re not sure if the actual lyrics fit it, though, haha) – which just happened to be a YYH ED.
After that, I decided to listen to Wild Wind (a YYH character song) for the first time in, like, what? Four years?  I don’t even know why I skipped the song, because it’s not bad.
Not to mention YYH Abridged (mind you, it’s genuinely funny and the voice acting’s pretty sweet, something I can’t say for most abridged series *cough*Resident Evil*cough*) which I all recommend if you want to watch an Abridged series (I guess Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged people may enjoy too, but it's not really my cup of tea).
Anyways, I never understood why I had an attachment to the series. It never played on TV and was pretty much an unknown title, sneered at for it being "old". I found other ways to bring the series a bit closer to me, but never close enough (I'll explain that in another YYH post, I suppose). Still, I've enjoyed it since grade 4, and I still do.
And yeah, that’s pretty much the story.

Anyways, onto some fanart!

Yukina.
You can see a bit of unfinished-Hiei’s leg, too.
She's pretty much my favourite female in the whole series. She can do something (unlike everyone else minus Botan but even then, all she can do is ride her oar) and even is included in a YYH game as a playable character (because, yeah, she can do something).

Left to Right: Kurama, Youko Kurama, Hiei.
Tried to be a bit more simplistic with this one. Originally, I had coloured everyone in in two shades (minus Hiei, who got orange for the second shade), but two turned to three, and three turned to four.
Before I scanned this, I realised that Hiei looked too cool with his red and orange (and soon purple) scheme going on, but Youko and Kurama (especially Kurama) were paling in comparison.
That’s where the nasty orange comes in. :(

First Row: Hiei with cloak, Dark Tournament Kurama with Rose Whip; Second Row: Cloak-less Hiei with sword, Youko Kurama with rose.

If it isn't obvious enough, like myriads of other people, Kurama and Hiei are my favourite characters. Like, though I'm clearly aware of otherwise, Hiei's still freakin' stronger than Yusuke. I don't care what you say; I'm in denial.

UPDATE:
More pics~

Left to Right: Mouse (not related to YYH in any way), Kurama, Youko Kurama, Yukina, Botan, Hiei and Hiei again.
While Kurama is holding a rose (for his signature rose whip), Youko Kurama has his Youko Death Plant (its name in the game, Yu Yu Hakusho Tactics, so I don’t know how true it is to the canon). They’re the only guys equipped for battle, minus second Hiei who has his bandages off, Jagan out, and his Dragon of the Darkness Flame out, ready to kick some ass.
The girls are pretty weak, so, eh. They can’t fight anyways, unless you consider Yukina’s healing a fighting ability.
Just got bored in Chemistry, pretty much, and that was the birth of these chibis. Oh, that and I’ve wanted to draw a super charged Hiei for a while now.
Remember, kids: he is the dragon now. He is the dragon! Eat that, Dragon Ball Z.


Drawn on scrap photocopy paper (and homework) with mechanical pencil.
Second picture’s drawn on sketchbook paper (I’m assuming?) with mechanical pencil and coloured with Prismacolour, Laurention, probably Crayola, and whatever-the-hell-else-was-available-in-my-art-class brand coloured pencils.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to listen to my 390+ MB of YYH songs I downloaded in the span of two days (if I really wanted to be crazy, I’d also download the 3 part, 40+ songs per part game music album. Unfortunately, I don’t think my Shuffle can hold that many, haha.
EDIT: Hot damn, are their songs are awesome. I can’t stop downloading…
