Description
9 hours of work. (with maybe 15 minutes break to eat dinner)GQ interviews the YYH crew. *lol*
I've been agonizing over this for days now. I'm obviously not a very professional artist as professional artists go. I cut corners, am lazy and face it, never sat in a life drawing session EVER. So how do I make a niche in the wide wide world of fanartism? Let's start with the medium. I've had some experience with graphic design and I have never seen a satisfying magazine spread that treats anime characters like real people. I'm definitely doing more of this.
EDIT: Fixed up some more factoids on this magazine. Lol. It's awesome I feel like a real writer having her work copyedited. Thanks to the people who commented!

I didn't actually mean for people to read the article! XD It was just some placeholder text to complement the magazine spread.

This is woderful, seriously. I loved the article, and the picture was great, as well! Excellent, wonderful, and I loved all their outfits, especially Kuwabaras. <33
Did I comment on this before?
....
Well, if so, sorry. Brain is fried from overexposure to this coolness.

Thank you for the generous comment! I was happy pulling outfits from GQ to dress the guys up and other fans were happy with Kuwabara's outfit too. XD

Yu Yu Hakusho... I think I'll start watching it again. A really good anime. Instead of 9 hours of work, it'd be an eternity for me. Nice! ;D

Such a fun series. I'm sure you'll trim down the time with practice.

Oh wow that's so cool. Love the idea. hehe, Hiei looks hot in that outfit too

I like how you "interviewed" them. All of their responses are in character too. Great job! 
Anyways, Yu Yu Hakusho left so many questions unanswered. Like: Will Hiei tell Yukina he's her brother, Does Hiei only consider Mukuro as a friend or perhaps something more, like a mother or ...lover? Did Genkai finally die and did Kuwabara actually get an education? See what I mean?!

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. XD

WOW this just kicks so much butt I don't even know where to begin!
Very clean lineart, nice coloring job, but I think my fav. is thier expressions. You totally nailed it and the best part is the article is true. YYH is still my fav. anime and I'll often go back and watch it when I'm disapointed with some new ones. Keep up the good work!

Oh, that's much better. I loved the article, by the way. I can just see the guys getting all conversational and excited about coming back through the fans. Oh, on a side note, isn't Kuwabara's first name Kazuma? Not sure, that's just what I figured.

Oh my, you're totally right!! Thank you for pointing that out to me! *edits work*

Jah I must agree, I haven't either. This came out wonderfully too, if I hadn't known it was you I would have thought that it was a real article

Yup. Took a while and it definitely isn't perfect. I think I may have broken a bajillion rules in journalistic style.
