Reposting more recent Gintama fanart of mine, previously posted to Tumblr and Twitter. All behind cuts. Comments welcome, concrit included! The ones in this post are all Ginzura (Gintoki/Katsura). Nothing that's not worksafe this time around.
(They're all drawn on paper since I don't really know how to draw directly digital, I don't own a tablet. Pencils + inks or pencils + watercolour, then uploaded to the computer (via smartphone camera) and retouched in the GIMP program. I am not good at colouring.)
I actually turned out to have more pics than I thought that I wanted to put on Dreamwidth, so I'll do this in two parts: Ginzura for this one, gen stuff for the other one. This will be the shorter part, it seems.
For the prompts "age" and "sleeping outdoors" from ginzuraFest, I drew ear-cleaning with two geezers.

Ginzura again. A bridge over a river of start - using the prompt "stars" and inspired by the Tanabata festival, this might come from a fairy tale or a dream, or it might be symbols...

Birthday art for a friend. I drew a set of three connected Ginzura pics with the same theme: Gintoki has just had a nightmare and seeks comfort with Zura.
Part 1: Childhood (arrows=direction of Gin's futon)

Part 2: War
(In my headcanon, Zura doesn't develop his creepy open-eyed way of sleeping until after the war.)

Part 3: Now

Another birthday pic. I think this can qualify as cuddling but of course these dorks have to be unsmiling and matter-of-fact about it.

For Ginzura Week. Prompts: "summer festival" and "ghosts".
Katsura, in a low voice: "Gintoki, if you're scared there might be ghosts, just hold my hand!"
Gintoki, in a whisper: "Shut up! I'm not a little kid anymore! You're so annoying!!" - But he doesn't pull his hand away...

For Ginzura Week / Ginzura Fest. Prompt: "alcohol". I just got this image in my head of these two idiots loudly belting out the first theme song of One Piece...

For Ginzura Week / Ginzura Fest. Prompts: "future" and "family".
Katsura is vain about his strands of gray hair and his wrinkles. Gintoki teases him for it, but also says, "don't worry, you'll still have me here to make fun of you when you've gone entirely gray".
(I was thinking of setting this like 15 years in the future, but Katsura winded up looking more aged than I'd intended, so maybe it's 20 years - and maybe the baby is Shinpachi's grandchild or something rather than one of his children as I first thought. *^_^* Well, it doesn't really matter...)

Finally, for Ginzura Midbirthday day (18 August, yes this is a thing, it comes from the Japanese side of the fandom) and for Ginzura Fest. Prompt: "promise". They're exchanging rings in secret.
K: "They say a rainy wedding brings luck..."
G: "That's just if you want lots of kids. Don't get greedy...!"
(They may not necessarily think of this as quite the same as a wedding, but at this point - it's probably a good bit into the post-canon future - it feels close enough to one that they can talk like this.)
