Ukiyoe-inspired Kyuubi Ichiji, for this youkai AU I made a while back.
The fox magic works from beyond the screen, it would seem. This was not what I had intended to be drawing, but many hours later I somehow end up with this.
Now I feel very bad, because the Sanji one was just a sketch, and I overdid this one.
The labels says: "Vinsmoke family eldest son", "Sparking Red Ichiji", and "drawn by Crepes". Lengthy wordy explanation below.
The "Vinsmoke" kanji is basically a string of random words that makes the sounds most similar to "Vinsmoke". It's the method that Japanese people in older time periods do with foreign words and names, instead of using katakana like they do today. For example, this is "America": 亜米利加. If you translate that, it's gibberish and has no meaning. It's just the sound that matters.
"Sparking" (literally "fire flower") was from the manga, and everything else I just picked what makes sense and looks nice. 壱 is basically the same as 一, for example, read as "Ichi" and means "one". It's just the more complex version intended for legal documents back in the scrolls and ink era, because 一 is too easy to tamper and mess with on paper.

In my universe, almost every mythical creature is called a youkai. (There will be some characters with the kind of youkai that I invented myself because I couldn't find a suitable youkai for him or because I wanted to)
There are not so many Youkai in the whole world compared to humans.
Every youkai has his own master, but not every person has his own youkai. Unfortunately, not every supernatural being manages to find his master.
Youkai can live both among people and without intersecting with them. People are aware of the existence of these creatures, but do not often meet them in everyday life. Youkai often hide behind the appearance of a person, hiding their outstanding features, but some can freely walk in their usual appearance without fear, it depends on the character of the youkai himself.
Let's go back to the definition of "master", who is it?
This is the person youkai is attached to. But there are two kinds of masters. One of them is a master who made a deal with youkai and they are bound for a certain period, which ends when the deal is considered completed. In this case, youkai does not feel anything special about the person, treat him as an ordinary person with whom he has some business. There are few such masters, since it is very difficult to get a youkai to make a deal.
Another concept of a master is the one who is tied to a youkai as soon as he was born, connected with him once and for all. The person himself does not know with which youkai he is tied and whether he is tied at all. It will be possible to find out about this if only the youkai with whom he is tied will meet with his master, and this meeting is most often accidental.
Youkai next to his master feels a surge of positive emotions and love for his master (what kind of love they do not know, they listen to their master, so the definition of this attachment will be at the master's request). After meeting with their master and after tying the ribbon, the youkai do not need to replenish their energy (they replenish it with the help of the master. The master will not receive any harm). Before the master, they have to restore energy to survive, the method of replenishing energy is chosen by the youkai himself. It can be both sleep and eating simple food or other youkai, they also do not disdain to eat people, there are other ways.
How do you understand that youkai has found his master? As soon as they intersect, a ribbon will appear in the hand of the youkai, which he must (if he wants the master to know about his existence) offer the master to tie on himself, after that it is impossible to remove the ribbon and any decoration will appear on the ribbon. The ribbon may not be worn, but in this case, the youkai will have to replenish energy in the old way, and not from the master.
That's all for now, if there are any questions you can always ask them, I'll try to answer!!
I hope I didn't make a mistake in my choice of words, because my vocabulary of English words is not that big:")

Natsume Yuujinchou AU where Natsume was so mistreated and neglected as a child he became a youkai at some point, but nobody noticed because his spiritual power was strong enough to manifest human form, and he never had much presence anyway, and nobody really knew him in the first place. But he's just a little bit weird. Even moreso than in canon. Sometimes he seems to just disappear into thin air. Sometimes his eyes seem to gleam or his expression darkens in a way that's just a little too inhuman.
The Fujiwaras take him in and love him anyway. His friends love him anyway. Maybe Natsume isn't fully aware of it himself, so used to being what he is. Maybe Madara tells him he smells like ayakashi and humans, so much so that even he struggles to figure out what he is.
Maybe he even fools the exorcists for a while, until somebody gets suspicious and tries to seal him, to make him their shiki...

Hi there! I recently got back into haikyuu and had to come back and reread the whole yokai au you made. Absolutely gorgeous story and artwork! I don’t know if you still draw for it or if you’ve moved on but I just wanted to tell you how amazing it is. If you could Is there anything you’d change about it? Would you use any of the characters like the Miya twins or the training camp arc?
this makes me so happy! Tysm for rereading it <3
I guess I would love to add all of the character who were introduced later on. I remember sketching something for wizard tooru to try and scratch that itch a couple years ago. I'd love for them to be foxes (maybe part of the council)

Stealth Black, but youkai AU version. Sunglasses + mouth mask = full-face mask.
I considered making the mask a two-piece, with the mouth part detachable or something, but nah, too much trouble.
Compare the others:

ok youkai au lore time :3
so since i’m merging denki and youkai together, ill explain the part where denki is first
so afawk, chorosuke/choro inherited/took over his fathers house in the village near akatsuka and makes flower arrangements, hoping for his sister to marry into a good family. 
ghost lives in either the same or a little bit away from the village. they have the last name kuriirota
they live with their older sibling/siblings (havent decided between just one or all three) and run a family business based around making kasuri, japanese fabrics/silks. they often supply the fabric and pre-made clothes for people in the village, and they’re well known for their efficiency. 
ghost and choro meet when he commissions the business for yukatas and clothing for the upcoming tanabata festival. ghost immediately takes interest, wanting to know about chorosuke. they do get closer, but if anything the feelings are one sided and unreciprocated for a while.
it starts to pick up after chorosuke and his brothers find out theyre all related, and that something bad is happening between them. it’s around the same time as the festival begins, and they decide to keep it secret for now. this is around the point they see their respective youkai motifs everywhere, no matter where they look. 
chorosuke accompanies ghost to the tengu’s shrine for the first time, and it takes a while for them to walk up the mountain to get to it. chorosuke asks whats the point if its only for one wish, and ghost says it’s a wish they’ve made for years. when asked what the wish was, ghost does not answer. 
there’s some deep moment between the two here, and its where choro finds out ghost is in a similar position as his sister is, trying to marry off and find a partner but turning up with nothing as each affair comes and goes. he doesn’t know why, but he felt a compulsion to help them in his chest, hinting at the tengu’s considerate and aiding nature. 
the next night after the festival/the same night the festival ends, chorosuke goes back up the mountain to read ghost’s wish, only to find it already gone from the shrines statue. 
further along the story (and where the brothers realize their youkai powers and cause a fuss in the village), ghost does eventually find out about the news with the matsuno family. they go to meet him to give him support, but they’re turned away for the time being. they were going to tell him how they felt of him. 
fast forward a few weeks, and now the village is in uproar of the possibility of having not one, but six youkais in their village. they start pushing the idea of exile for the matsus, putting up talismans and protections from the matsus either by the matsus house or their own. come the 100 demon festival, they are in full-swing uproar and are actively pushing the brothers out, now havingh accepted their youkai counterparts. 
ghost watches the matsus exile, and choro spares them one glance before heading to the realm of youkai. it almost breaks his heart, considering he had been getting close to them. he wouldn’t be able to think about them for a whole after that, having to get used to youkai life now, and only being granted one day of the year to return to the human realm, being hyakki yagyo. 
ghost would mourn for a while after this, resulting in them taking time off from the kusari robes they have to make, backing up business quite a bit. their sisters worry about them, having been holed up in their room for weeks, only coming out at night or early in the morning to rise. 
come the next tanabata festival, ghost is finally seen outside their home, going out to deliver their wish to the tengu shrine. he senses that someone is at the shrine, and flies over from a pocket dimension to see who it is. when he recognizes who it is, he gets a familiar feeling in his chest, and he has no idea why his cheeks are burning up. 
they look so familiar. and he has a good feeling about what they are wishing for.
