My Comments:
NYWAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! points Doesn't that look like a random mixture of Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha?! faints
Well, if you thought this was Inu Yasha at first, I don't blame you ;-) I've done enough fanarts of the our fave Inu to get poor youko Kurama mistakened for him and Sesshoumaru combined XD (though I wouldn't so much mind, seeing as I LOVE Inu and Sessh ^^!) But this IS youko Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho, and though I've never seen the series, I'm familiar with the character since I've always wanted to do a fanart of him, seeing as his striking resemblance to IY would make it rather fun to do ^__^
I like the YYH character style, b/c it's almost as if a mixture of everything I already know. Take Kurama for instance, he's very "Rumiko Takahashi" style if you ask me. As a non-youko, his red hair flows much like Lum's or Shampoo's from Takahashi's design, and as youko he bears the Takahashi Inu Yasha resemblance, so drawing his chara is a breeze ^^ The eyes and facial features are like a Takahashi x Toriyama combination, so it's been fun doing this style. Of course this is for Aikou Yami, who has decorated the YYH fanart section than more fanarts than anyone else has done! ^^ I hope you like it Aikou, and everyone else too. Thanks so much for viewing!
Peace. Love. Anime.
