Prize details

Demon King! Urameshi

Demon King! Urameshi is my full-colour Yusuke tribute full of comics, art, and nostalgia. While it’s Yusuke-focused, lots of other characters appear. In order of appearance: Puu, Keiko, Hokushin, Seizan, Touou, Nankai, Kuwabara, Genkai, Raizen, Yomi, Mukuro, Enki, Natsume, Chuu, Shura, Kurama, Koenma, Hiei, Botan. (Some characters only appear once. If you have any questions feel free to ask!) You can see full book details including preview here.

Custom ink drawing

• You can pick any named Yu Yu Hakusho character (one person). There is no one I will not draw. I will even draw Tarukane if you want. I highly doubt anyone will pick him, but if someone out there is wondering “will you draw so-and-so…” I just wanted you to know you can rest assured the answer is yes. 
• For the prompt word, please keep it sfw. I reserve the right to ask you to provide another word.
• Let me know if you have a preference in terms of the above styles, but otherwise I’ll pick the approach/tools based on how I interpret your prompt. The piece will be single colour; I may choose to include an accent colour at my discretion. To see bigger examples of the above: Fude de mannen with water / Brush pen (You can see how I tackle a few different YYH characters in this one, not just Hokushin) / Fountain pen / Pilot fineliner with water / Glass dip pen with water, coloured ink / Brush pen and water with accent colour / Fude de mannen (not included above, but again shows a variety of YYH characters)

Yusuke keychains

• A =

  Acrylic keychain. Puu on Yusuke’s head. This drawing cracks me up. 

• B = Shounen Jump 50th anniversary plush tsum-tsum-style Yusuke. Here he is from another angle.
• C = Rubber mascots. Default Yusuke, hair down Yusuke, demon Yusuke. You get two boxes as well as you can see from the header image (one is already super flattened). I cannot bear to separate them, but if you are the winner who gets first pick (see details below) and you don’t actually want all three, you don’t have to take them all – the rest will simply migrate to the package for the other winner. 🙂

Hokushin bookmark

Same as the DIY Hokushin bookmarks I posted, but lovingly handcut and laminated and handcut again by me lmao. Choice will be based on what I have left by the time the contest ends, but feel free to let me know if you prefer stretchy neck or stretchy arm. If I have enough, you’ll get one of each design! 

Look at all the fun you can have with him! (Please be nice to him.)

How to enter / how it works

Make a tumblr post in which you:

1. Write a headcanon you have for Hokushin.
2. Tag me (@maiji) in the post.
3. Tag the post itself with #maiji’s yyh and custom art giveaway so I can find it. ***
4. Link back to this post in your post.

That’s it!

If you wanna write an essay feel free to, but you don’t have to – minimum requirement is one headcanon following steps 1-4 above.

If you can’t think of a headcanon for Hokushin, NO PROBLEM! Just go here and look at any of my fifty gajillion Hokushin fanworks, pick something non-canon and comment on it in your post. 

*** I originally posted this with “giveaway” spelled wrong in the tag above (missing the first a). SORRY! ToT I’ll check the other one too.

Entries accepted till October 31, 2018, midnight EST. My goal is to pick the winners by the first weekend of November – if I’m delayed, I’ll let you guys know here on tumblr/this post.

Two winners will be picked as follows:

• The post that most impresses (e.g., moves and/or amuses) me gets first pick of one of the two prize packages.
• The other prize package will go to random draw from all the remaining entries.
• If there are too many amazing submissions and I can’t decide, both prizes will go to random draw and it will be first come first serve of which prize you get.

• If I don’t hear back from a winner within 7 days, I’ll pick again.

Items will be shipped via the cheapest shipping method I have available for your address. I will do my best to include tracking if I can reasonably do so. I cannot replace anything that is lost or damaged in the mail. If you want to make sure you have tracking, or something specific like insurance or faster delivery, let me know when you answer my notification. I’ll let you know the cost in advance and you’ll need to pay it via PayPal.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know!

Signal boosts are much appreciated. Thank you! :DDD

The tag doesn’t seem to be working right 😦 So I’ll be relying on my name tag notifications and link notifications for entries. Feel free to send me an ask or a message if you’re not sure I saw your post!
