I found this on ebay:

I think I've seen this one before, but for the life of me I can't say where....

I've asked the seller (seems to be a German) whether it is a convention sketch or a print...

If anybody here has an idea, please feel free to share your thoughts.

@Mayhem: You do have enough UY art, don't you?! :wink:

I had considered bidding (as it's in Germany) but depends on my expenses this month. Plus I am thinking of asking Sensei for a commission for SDCC...

This one looks like a piece that was coloured and put on the back of an issue to me, it looks familiar. Sensei probably added it to his portfolio and someone bought it. One of the Tomoe pieces I have is of similar ilk.

That art was used as the frontpiece to UY Book 12: Grasscutter. It is on page 55, at least in the HC.

I think it was also used on a t-shirt.

That does look to be the original art from Grasscutter. I love that piece!

Yep, the design was, for the UYD's UY 20th Anniversary tees...but the art was completely redrawn in 2004 and some kanji added specifically for the shirt. Image
