Description Best thing about this picture:
MY ONLY REFERENCE WAS FOR THE POSE. [Plus one quick glance at one of my own drawings for an eye.] I am SO pleased.

Worst thing about this picture:
...
I wouldn't know how to shade wings even if I took the time to actually try and draw them accurately. [Believe it or not, I HAVE actually done this before. Taken the time to draw wings accurately. Maybe I'll do it again someday...] So don't say anything about this wings. Oh, but if you want to know what's with the one... let's go with... Ryou is hindered by his botched wing, but is still determined to break away from his yami... -shot- OK, fine. Real reason it looks like that: I fail at doing perspectives. Leave me alone. >.<

The chains were a pain to ink, and they're not the most accurate either, but they look ok... in person. Not sure about scanned. >.>

Why is he wearing purple? Because he looks good in purple. -stabbed- FINE. Because I didn't want to use any dark colors, since he's breaking away from his dark side, and the seafoam green didn't match as well.

Ironically, my reference was a picture of Yugi jumping to rejoin his yami. That's deep, right there. -nods wisely-

Bakura (C) Kazuki Takahashi

Challenge: [link]

[I actually had this done last night, but you know, I wanted to keep the whole three-birthday-pictures-for-three-Bakurae thing going on. So there. (Does that make it an epilogue?)]

...I've decided that I want to make a Bakura coloring book. XD I could be rich and famous, like Kaiba! -stabbed- I have... four whole linearts! ph33r m3!!!! -bricked-

anytime and just so you know I'm sure your bad side isn't that bad. Everyone has good and bad traits. I mean you know people like you when they accept and like every little bit of you and take you for the good and back because they are seeing what you trully are...a unique work of art...yes I sound way older than what I am and that I eat fourtune cookies or something but my friend thinks I sound old because I like bran and flax lmao please don't cry tho, you made my day because you haven't shuned me or anything like that, you are so nice it's hard to believe you might even have a bad side

Brothers are for hogging the computer and being pain in the but. I would like to anyways. I need to get back into drawing I just get so wraped up in other things that I hate like studying and note taking that I don't get to do it. I have a huge list of things to draw ^^ I'll put it toward the top right under fan art for RED ROSE such an awesome story ^^ <3 I promised that one a long time ago

aww if you where a plushie I would hug you so tight ...that way I know I wouldn't break you, cut off your circulation or oxygen supply...because that would be the opposite of very good...which would be...indeed...very bad...

that was a really weird scentence sry bout that. hope it at least made sense!

Brother can't hog MY computer~ -shot- Sorry. As for the being a pain in the butt part... YES. D: XD
I understand. I hate studying and note taking so I draw INSTEAD... DX Don't know how I manage to keep my grades up, but hey.
AHHHH Red Rose!! Looooove that story... I almost drew Mir and Ryou in that Stripes picture. It ran through my mind... I have to draw more for that fic, too... Except I'm drawing Liz herself with Seto right now. XD

That is amazing! It made sense... it was so sweet. <3 <3 <3 You're too awesome-nice. <3 You're making me late to school. -shot- [Kidding...]

PB-Queen In reply to Ameko-Shadowsong [2008-09-09 21:03:13 +0000 UTC]

OMG YES LIZ AND SETO! jw has she named that shipping yet?

thanks I wish I could do that but I've paid like 2000$ for my education just THIS term, I don't want to blow it. so if all goes good i'm taking a studio art class that way I will be able to draw for fun and marks yay! But that's great that you still keep your marks up! you must be really smart then and don't deny it! it'll come in handy when appling for universities and scolarships...ART gets recognition too

Ahh I hope I didn't! I would feel bad if I did! You need to study...and learn...keeps your brain from aging and losing memory loss. i heart you lol

Ameko-Shadowsong In reply to PB-Queen [2008-09-09 22:37:26 +0000 UTC]

AHAHhahaha of course. We spent an entire night naming all these crazy shippings. Liz x Seto is Awesomeshipping; Liz x Mokuba is Coolshipping or Icecreamshipping, and Seto x Liz x Mokuba is Extremeshipping. [Which I already did draw , mwahahaha, fear me! It's a good thing, too, because my awesomeshipping one did NOT work out. TT_TT I can't draw Seto...]

Good luck!! I know you can do it.
...OK, why would you think that? DX I'm not smart, definitely not. Good test-taker, usually, but in the long-run, I don't know much. >.>

Noooo, don't worry, you didn't actually make me late! On Tuesdays, I go to school a little later, so I didn't miss my ride or anything. XD

That's so cool I'll have to check that pic out I have this list of 15 I made up that I must accomplish b4 new years and one of them is make up a list of shippings for all the anime guys I like...might take awhile lmao mainly I'm not sure I can be that creative. I'm sure with practice you will get better. Thanks

Good test talker is a good skill to have, I mean you can always learn new things like look up one random word in the dictonary each day and use it in your scentances...wow...I should try that one my vocab is too lowly. lmao

I like awesomeshipping good name!

Ameko-Shadowsong In reply to PB-Queen [2008-09-10 11:20:50 +0000 UTC]

HAhahah, I have this list I've had since last year. DX I'm such a procrastinator. Good luck with your 15! I bet you can do it.

Weelllll, I get the Dictionary.Com word of the day email, so I DO essentially look up one random word in the dictionary every day... I just tend not to remember what it means. TT_TT
...It is true that I have a relatively large vocabulary though.

Thanks! XD XD XD YGO shipping killing my brain + staying up all night talking to Liz = shipping names for EVERYTHING. XD XD XD We named Ryou Bakura x all the Hidenka girls, for Sand's sake. TT_TT And Seto x Fedha. I have a list. XD XD XD

aw thanks I'll do my best hey maybe I'll send you my list and you can tell me what you think. I have...5 so far...not bad...i'm gonna do a journal about my 15 and maybe see if others will add and see if I can get my 15 to go to 100!

wow that's cool. oh well at least your making an effort I haven't even touched a dictionary in who knows how long...not good...lol but you must remember most of them since you have a large vocab...i don't lol

that sounds like a fun time what is setoxEmi? in bio today I was writing her name in like all different forms of writing it was fun!much better than learning about homeostasis!

I LOOOOOOVE dictionaries. <3 Thesauruses are better, though!

Ohhhh, we have so much fun at night. Liz is my bestest friend~ [Hey, your didn't do the question mark thingy this time! D:] Seto x Emi is Pendantshipping, of course, 'cause of the rose pendant!
Ahahahah I do that all the time with Bakura... DX and all forms of his name. <3 It's just so pretty~ And I can't concentrate too well unless I'm doodling in my margins, so they're pretty much black with hiragana and kanji for 'Bakura' and 'Ryou' and 'swan' [something I associate with Ryou, don't ask XD] and 'I love Bakura' and 'thief king' and... etc. XD Not to mention totally random scribbles of, like... eyeballs. DX And ribbons. And hair. And lightning bolts. And hearts [usually accompanied by 'Ryou' XD]. And flowers. And... you get the picture. I hear there's a teacher next year who won't accept your worksheets if they have doodles on them... I'm gonna fail. DX

I met Liz 4+ years ago on Neopets... and reconnected with her about two years ago when the person we met each other through [~Writers-Souls ] made a new RP site and I joined dA. [I sound like I'm describing how I met my boyfriend or something... XD] So yeah. Liz rocks. <3
Swans are lovely. <3

I know! I'm almost done coloring...i'm to lazy to shade tho...mainly because my pencil crazys are flat and we have no sharpener. lol
I'll prolly post it tonight if my friend doesn't come over...I'll be really mad if she doesn't we have two more episodes to finish watching of slayers and we are done the first season and I can't live not knowing what happens next!!!!

'Course.
Well, not really, Jen did it on purpose, invited all us old guilders of Neopia [hahah that made no sense... all the old group from the guild on Neopets] back to the RP site... and so it was pretty much intentional.
What are you posting on whose wall now?
Ahhhh, I feel your pain. XD I've just started learning shading, so I do it on every picture now [I can't NOT], but sometimes I don't feel like it and I'm just like "ahhh, random shading..." And I also have NO PENCIL SHARPENER. I was getting very frustrated coloring with wobbly pencils. And then... I found one! It's about an inch long... very tiny... but it WORKS! Also, my friend Karma got me one for my birthday, she told me, since I said I would give her her soul back if she did. XD

Have fun with your show! My friends are all coming tomorrow... I'm so excited!

Oh good! She needs more people to tell her that! XD I don't think she believes me all the time. DX
