Description Fear my title of absurd double entendre.

I've been working on this for a few days--my fun project when I get burnt out on badges for the evening.

I'm not sure what to say about it. I have a difficult time reconciling realistic painting and cartoon elements. I feel like I fought with it a good deal. Which is probably good for me, but can be very discouraging. Well, practice is what it takes. I just need to do more genuine figurative work, and I imagine it will eventually sort itself out.

This really is gorgeous! I love the colors and the expressions of Yugi's and Yami's faces. They look so realistic and if Yugi was actually real in real life, I have no doubt he would look just like that!

Holy shit, this is AWESOME!!

I've been looking all over the place for a realistic looking Yugi, and this is by FAR the best I've ever seen. The way you did the hairstyle, and the fact that his face isn't Asian (as would be expected) makes it look like this could be a real life version of Yugi, while still retaining the right elements from his design in the show. Again, I say AWESOME!!

This is just awesome. I love the background, and how you took Yugi's hair and made it look like it could feasably exist.
...now I want his hair, darn it :/

he looks so much better than he does in the show. His purple hair should probably look a bit more messy, but who am I to critisize. I can't even spell it. I've been looking at your other fanarts and sculptures and they are beautiful

Yuugiou was a series I always thought had more potential in its premise than ever played out. But this piece shows the potential. The climax of an incredible, emotional story is clearly implied. If the entire series were more like this...

I love the color contrast, as well as the physical similarities and differences between the two. The sense of motion, particularly in the right half, is beautiful. <3

Your lighting, and ability to draw anime characters in your own style but still able to represent the character so that we are all aware of who it is, is awe inspiring. I only hope I can reach your level of greatness some day

Everyone already said what I wanted to say... xD But as a giant childhood fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, this picture really gave me shivers! Yami looks positively divine, and Yugi isn't far behind him! I love the way the contrasts of the two backgrounds seem to flow together... Because I would have never thought of that.
