Sketch share of the original draft for this art I redrew for Whumptober2021 No. 22 (Altprompt 6. Head injury)!

Apparently I drew this traditionally sketched one in Jan 2020??

Here's the progression of this art from "sketch I never shared 'cause Yuuki looks disjointed" to the posted one. To be honest, I think my favourite stage was the corrected line art sketch (the first one below!):

And then, without / with background. I still can't decide which of these two I like better?

Yuuki after release from hospital, after he'd been found, after he'd been kidnapped...

Who knows who his kidnappers were?

Another day, and it's beginning to sink in.
