Art and Writing

[next cradle]

I only liked snippets of it anyway so not real loss to me

[open bridge]

God I remember watching arc-v in high-school instead of paying attention to class

[modest oar]

you really shouldn't have

[fringe fable]

I remember going to college watching episodes on the bus. Time really flies, huh?

[viscid bobcat]

i remember me and one of my friends watching it during lunchtime in high school

[fiery jungle]

I remember when Reddit has weekly Sawatari-Post

[viscid bobcat]

my boy sawatari got done so dirty

[fringe fable]

Dude got a deck full of theater kids, it was inevitable.

If only he kept his Monarchs.

[fiery jungle]

Or Yosenju

[open bridge]

Tbf I had stopped by the time Xyz arc started and things went to shit

[next cradle]

I mostly stopped caring after synchro arc it dragged for so long or at least felt like it, but there were some sick moments

[hearty meteor]

I think I remember one of my friends playing Undertale while the rest of us watched the Yuri vs old Fusions scene back in HS

[viscid bobcat]

i watched the whole thing but the moment i regretted watching it was 2 episodes into the zarc duel

if the zarc duel wasn't shit i could have forgiven the rest of the show

[next cradle]

I skimmed the rest of the episodes after synchro

[viscid bobcat]

but the final boss fight being that boring was just awful

[next cradle]

They did Ed dirty

They did a lot of returning characters dirty

[hearty meteor]

Parasite brain worms was my personal turning point

Still a bit of good stuff after- Odd Eyes Raging Dragon debut, every inch of the VA performance during Yuya vs Yuri (Kensho Ono is SO GOOD)- but after that I was just tired

[next cradle]

Sora and Dennis were some good ass voice acting, their duels vs Shun was peak arc-v for me

Or anything reiji-related

[viscid bobcat]

my favorite part of arc v was when yuya ate a pancake

for real though my favorite part of arc v was jack vs sergei

the part where roget is screaming at sergei when he drives past an action card is so good

[fringe fable]

TRUE! That was such an amazingly memorable moment when Roget is completely breaking down.

[fiery jungle]

Roget became more unhinged as the duel went on is the highlight of that duel

Dude also has a point tho
I believe previously he had it enough when one of his subordinate play greedily when chasing Yugo, and ended up got clapped back so hard

Dude actually has good grasp in dueling, he just surrounded by idiots

[open bridge]

I’m still mad Sawatari didn’t get the zarc kill

[open bridge]

Jack vs Sergei and Jack vs Yuya are the best duels in the show after they leave standard

[fiery jungle]

Sawatari could & should've been the one to defeat Zarc...

[next cradle]

Man I want dorayaki

Fuck

[knotty ibex]

The duels I cared about where the Duels of Gonk, Declan, Tyler Sisters, Sergey and Sylvio anyway since they actually got some cool Decks
Also Sylvio should have won against Arc ngl

[knotty ibex]

Abyss Actors best deck

Such a fun Aesthetic

What do y’all think?

[lilac tree]

Okay guys, I have a VERY random and VERY unusual question, but it's for a fanfic I'm writing so I'd appreciate answers.

For those of you who are child-free and hate kids,

How would you feel if you were in a world like the Yugioh anime, playing the game by summoning life-sized monsters on the field, and even bonding with your monsters and being able to talk to them like some anime characters can. But then some of your favorite monsters turn out to be parents who have kids back at home? Would this bother you, annoy you, etc.?

And what if said kids were also monsters that could be bought and summoned in the game?

[primal crag]

Well, it puts the Hero Kids in a whole different perspective.

[hearty meteor]

The worst thing is when you spend days planning out all the stages of a story, you start getting excited... and then you miss a day, and it gets harder and harder to keep up with the swing of things

[cedar socket]

I wanted to write fanfic, but the source material wasn't exactly quality reading material...

part of me wants to reread it, but part of me remembers the struggle and doesn't want to do it again.

You understand the basics, but the image here lacks the full feeling of the impact of such an aggressive kick and body feels almost doll like with the way the joints are connected.

Sorry if the art kinda sucks, I finished these right now at 4AM but this is when the idea struck me. Tried make a few cards for an archetype I came up with!

These are based on some of my ocs btw don't take em too seriously

Aside from anatomy, what else should I try to improve on?

[hallow vault]

Shading is often overlooked. It can make a drawing that much more dynamic and cinematic sometimes!

Usually I recommend to train by choosing a circle to be the thing that emits the light and draw characters around it.
Or buildings, or anything really, shading is hard so take ur time. There are many ways to shade as well, choose whichever u find more fun for u

[cedar socket]

I see. I once read this in a Marvel drawing book too.

So many things!

I enjoy the vibes of Kamen Rider but I have yet to finish a single series so I can only properly call myself a Gundam fan right now lol

Writing daily does help with that- just doing, say, 400 words at a time, just to write, forces you to put perfection out of the way and just put pen to paper

Write a master lorebook of the things your characters did, I suppose.

Characters being hypocrites may not necessarily be a bad thing, if it's woven into their story right.

Any tips for drawing in general?

[clever pecan]

Inching ever closer to surpassing my previous stories' word count

Roughly 300 words left

[wind nymph]

hi… I’d like to ask a question.

I’m working on a yugioh fan story/self insert/fan fiction/whatever?

I’d like advice, notes or suggestions of what to put in it?

[clever linden]

I mean that all depends on what you're planning to write exactly?

Like what is the story about, what kind of story is it supposed to be, etc, etc.

[wind nymph]

Ahhh fair. It’s still in the baby stages. I’m thinking duel academy

[clever linden]

Well, have a large varied cast that you want to balance

For one then

[wind nymph]

How large is large?

[clever linden]

I mean, you want teachers and students right?

You probably want a friend group of at least 2, a rival, whomever is the top student or students

And if you go the GX era of slifer/ra/obelisk, at the least also people from the other dorms

Or you go something like MHA where the entire class is part of the cast

[nocturne karma]

I've been working on a basic shonen setting I can use to get used to drawing manga/comics and I've been getting surprisingly into it

it's a pretty basic ki system but there's stuff like doing toku poses as a fingerprint to summon weapons or how ki is intrinsically tied to killing intent and how there are people with "future sight" that simply perceive the killing intent of the ki moving in the air

there's two different types of techniques which are basically suppression techniques meant to bruise and injure and more taboo killing techniques which are meant to pierce through ki and, obviously, kill

but killing techniques use up more ki relative to the maximum capacity of ki you can maintain so they're only viable as a finisher

and I'd imagine killing techniques have more unique looks to make them look cooler

[wind nymph]

Wow. I didn’t even think of this….

[knotty ibex]

Would that mean it plays in the same time as GX or before/later then the Plot of it?

You can also use the other allready established Characters for stuff

[wind nymph]

I’d probably say after? Sort of a gx sequel

[wind nymph]

Hey, I’m cresting this and need deck help.

One of the people doing it wants to do a kaiba legacy character but we are having trouble finding them a deck that is unique.

[clever linden]

... Snake-Eyes?

I mean

[snake-eyes flamberge dragon]

[dusk parcel]

Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon

Level: 8
[ Dragon / Effect ]

ATK 3000 / DEF 2500

Effect

You can target 1 face-up monster on the field or in either GY; place it face-up in its owner's Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell. During your opponent's turn (Quick Effect): You can target 1 Monster Card treated as a Continuous Spell on the field; Special Summon it to your field. If this card is sent from the hand or field to the GY: You can Special Summon 2 Level 1 FIRE monsters from your GY. You can only use each effect of "Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG/MD)

[clever linden]

sure is BEWD ref

[wind nymph]

I’m sorry was that an answer to my question?

[clever linden]

Yes

It's an -eyes dragon with the right statline

Just keep the extra deck a bit limited

[fiery jungle]

The good thing about Snake-Eyes is how flexible they can be

You can fit Extra Deck with many staples, and generally include generic good (and expensive) cards like (now banned) Linkuriboh & Baronne, as well as Apollousa

Which fits with Kaiba type personality

HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD AT DRAWING!? I CAN BAEY DRAW A HUMAN WITH REFERENCE

[golden summit]

Practice

Art is all about learning and practice, like many things in life. Practice consistently for like a year or two, learn from good sources, and you'll be impressive.

[hard furnace]

That’s my best attempt at drawing a human

[golden summit]

Not bad

[hard furnace]

This is my first time drawing it with a reference (my art class had those poseable or wood figures) and I don’t like it

My most recent of drawing without a reference is this pokemon art I made of my cousins dream pokemon team

[clever linden]

how old are you? Because I can tell you, you probably want to try life drawings

[hard furnace]

15

I like to draw people and stuff I know but in a fictional universe

That drawing is of my real life cousin but with a pokemon team

[clever linden]

yeah you have plenty of time lmao. You just need to basically practise anatomy and all. There should be online guides and stuff.

[hard furnace]

I’m taking art classes in school but it’s summer now so my arts stagnant for now

[clever linden]

Fair enough! Just remember, practise makes perfect. And for some people it might take years.

[hard furnace]

I wanna practice more today but I got art block

[clever linden]

Well, maybe try some simple/quick gesture drawings or learn anatomy I suppose then maybe?

[real hearth]

I can see you are already do the circle and tube method for drawing bodies, maybe practice with foreshortening and different poses?

[hard furnace]

I do wanna try different poses but I have little reference for it

W why taketomborg?

[wheat marsh]

Idk I just like the speedroids in general

[cedar socket]

Cawross sounds like the Japanese word korosu 殺す, and ‘ross’ refers to Ross from Friends and ‘Loss’, as in losing something.

You’re right about the bird noises.

[hard furnace]

I went way to in depth in the wrong direction

Also why Ross from friends??

Also consider giving it acid spit

[cedar socket]

Reference to an Ultraman monster whose name has been romanized as Chandler.

Cawross is a thief Kaiju, so it’s not very powerful, but it’s agile and smart.

[cedar socket]

I guess acid spit could work.

[clever linden]

Sorry I forgot about this, remind me in a few hours after work

[cedar socket]

Ok.

[clever linden]

Yeah so, I assume by "in blue" you first mean a blue outfit? And, what exactly do you mean with queue-like braids, aren't braids by default all queued up, or do you specifically mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_(hairstyle)

A queue isn't exactly a common hairstyle, so you might want to be a bit more descriptive or at the least explain what that is. If it isn't, then you don't really need to mention the unshaven part, and by the front part I assume you mean he has like, long bangs?

Also how exactly does one's skin peek through clothing. I get you want to make it clear he's muscular, but I think you're better of breaking the fact he has flawless light skin and a chiseled physique into two separate parts here.

Also, if he's wearing headphones, why is he drawing people complaining, is it how he walks, or is the music so loud other people can hear it?

It's not a terrible descriptor, and while your language is nice, it doesn't give a good image of what this person is supposed to look like

Hell, because braids have so many different types of looks, maybe just say braided ponytail to keep it simple if the queue style is what you wanted to simulate

[cedar socket]

I was going for the queue.

Well, his clothes are more like old Chinese clothes, forgot to describe that.

He’s bobbing around, so people will complain.

[next cradle]

The complaint part seems fine it just seems weird in a vacuum but if you flesh out the world around him it'll make more sense

[next cradle]

The youth in blue had an unrestrained aura. While his dark hair was tied into a short, queue-like braid in the back~~. However, the front of his head, it remained somewhat messy, long, and unshaven~~, long, messy hair hung over his face ["unshaven" seems a bit redundant if you already describe he's got hair upfront]. A chiselled physique with flawlessly light skin Skin that was flawlessly light yet chiseled peeked through the folds of his simplistic clothes [might need a little work here describing his clothing because it sounds a bit confusing]. His symmetrical, somewhat [feels unnecessary] narrow almond-shaped eyes were half-closed as he bobbed and hummed along to the music he listened to coming through a pair of aqua-blue headphones, spreading ripples of complaint throughout the surrounding crowd [maybe add something here to clarify like "as he made his way carelessly though it" or something].

Oh no

[dusk parcel]

Could not resolve English data for searches: "unshaven" seems a bit redundant if you already describe he's got hair upfront, might need a little work here describing his clothing because it sounds a bit confusing, feels unnecessary, maybe add something here to clarify like "as he made his way carelessly though it" or something

[next cradle]

OH NO I FORGOT ABOUT THE SQUARE BRACKETS

Welp whatever

Quick and dirty edit

Tighten up the language a bit, don't use too many extraneous adjectives if you don't have to it kind of bogs the prose down a little unless you're trying to highlight something in more detail

The rest is just how it's worded

Queue braid is fine I reckon, if people don't know they can look it up and become a little more edumacated

Especially if you're trying to emphasise the whole Chinese thing, because otherwise I'd just suggest a "tight braid"

[clever linden]

Yeah, I think Ducky hit the nail on the head with what I mean

[cedar socket]

Another description:

The trench coat wearer, on the other hand, was quiet and unmoving, his looks alone giving others a sense of silent reliability. He gazed ahead into empty space, towering over most of the other students by a head. He had two shoulder-length tails of black hair out front and a ponytail at the back. Despite his silence, his oblong-shaped, dark-brown eyes were like burning black holes, causing those around him to feel their sins and mistakes crawling on their backs.

[clever linden]

A bit edgy at the end, but not too bad

The problem is that

[cedar socket]

It’s intentional.

[clever linden]

How does his look make him feel reliable

But also creep people so much that

It makes them literally feel like their sins are crawling in their back

These are two very different feelings

[cedar socket]

I see.

[clever linden]

I think you're better off leaning into one or the other

[cedar socket]

Noted.

[clever linden]

Maybe go for the edgy one

And then show later on he's reliable

Through his action or something someone else notes

[cedar socket]

Funny thing, his first speaking scene goes as follows:

As the youth stood in front of everyone else, it was as though a switch had been flipped in his brain. His eyes widened as he began his proclamation.

"This one wanders the world to defend the downtrodden and protect the poor!" he explosively bellowed, his trench coat fluttering in imaginary wind as he threw it off. He revealed various superhero pins and badges affixed to his shirt that had been hidden by his coat.

"You may call this one Nagamasa, the ally of justice and equality!" He struck a bold pose, utterly breaking the stoic lone wolf impression everyone in class had instinctively formed of him.

"This one's friend and fighting comrade is the strongest Geist in training!" he continued yelling. He struck several more poses in succession.

"Armor Hero!" He twisted one of his arms as if charging to punch, then thrust it into the air. "Let's go!"

Drawing of lilith from darkstalkers

[clever linden]

Great design I especially love how expressive she is in your art, but if I might give a small bit of criticism.

Her hairstyle is maybe a bit too close to Yusei with the spikes with maybe a bit of Yugi with the side bangs

[clever linden]

Also as a Kamen Rider Fan yeah uh, don't see it either

[cedar socket]

Maybe I was thinking of something else…

[gray elbow]

Really because one criticism I got from one of my friends was it looks like shadow the hedgehog also the bangs thing it's pretty common amongst a lot of characters

[clever linden]

I don't really see shadow since those are in the back, but fair enough for the other comment

[gray elbow]

The "quill shape"

[clever linden]

Yeah but Shadow doesn't point up ya know

Yes it got wings but the concept sheet doesn't have any more blank space to draw it, so I will include it maybe in another sheet, or u will see it during the card artwork itself, for the version of The artwork itself, it will be very high quality and so huge like a full artwork instead of the cropped one

The scarf is from GaoGamon for campaign lore reasons™️

[golden summit]

What a charming individual. Great design.

[hard furnace]

Question! I’ve had this armor deck idea (like valon) but would they be machine warrior or cyborg type?

[golden summit]

Depends

First off, depends on what YOU want them to be

Sometimes cards of different types share the same aesthetic. It is up to you to decide what type you want them to be.

[hard furnace]

I’m kinda leaning towards Cyborg? The oc I planned to use them as a prosthetic arm so they could merge into him

But machine makes more sense for a normal person

And they were warriors in the anime

[golden summit]

Cyborg or cyberse?

Either is fine, but cyborg would be a new type

[clever linden]

No u

[golden summit]

But have you considered: no u

[clever linden]

I think they were warrior because the person wearing them, it depends on the aesthetic you lean for.

Psychic is often used for a cyborg aesthetic tho

But machine also works

If it's prosthetics I'd lean not into warrior

[fiery jungle]

Yee Cyborg can be either psychic or warrior or machine

[hard furnace]

I mean cyborg as in the rush type

I’m probably gonna just toss em into machines

[clever linden]

I mean I wouldn't bring rush types into the tcg ye

[clever linden]

Context being that the Gaomon line and Gazimon line are canonically subspecies

And in-universe, there's a group of 5 Gazimon, who have an older sister figure that's a BlackGaogamon

[fiery jungle]

So the two lines are related I can see that

[clever pecan]

Yep

[clever linden]

It's just a funny lore thing I played with because most people don't know about it

[clever pecan]

Wierd thing I’ve noticed, why is this section better at helping with custom cards then the actual custom card server?

No hate to the people there but I posted the same question and got ignored?

No hate just felt like saying it’s weird

[steel willow]

Here's the composition version, I think now I am going to draw the draft

[clever linden]

Because the custom card channel is for balancing, not aesthetics. You're not asking the right question for the channel

Ohhhh that actually helps a lot thanks

https://vxtwitter.com/adeshi0693119/status/1810820650988359831

can someone help name all the monsters here? I recognize:
Raye Kagari
Zeus
XYZ Dragon Cannon
Ancient Gear Golem
Satellite Cannon
Card Trooper

[clever pecan]

Under Raye its Machina Fortress

Under Card Trooper its Halqifibrax

[golden summit]

Meklord weisell, union carrier

[clever pecan]

To the right of Zeus is Meklord Emperor Wisel

Above that is Union Carrier ye

[golden summit]

Catastor

[clever pecan]

Above Zeus is Gear Gigant

To the top left of it Catastor

Top right of it Deskbot 001

[bleak scroll]

thanks!

[clever pecan]

NP

[bleak scroll]

Are there any "pilots" that are commonly used the mecha cards here?

i.e Downerd would most definitely be the one piloting Zeus

or melffy

well, are there any other piloted mechas here? I know Zeus is piloted according to its animation, but idk about anyone else

[golden summit]

Gear gigant X is piloted by the geargianos

Raye is piloting the kagari suit

[bleak scroll]

is that it?

[golden summit]

All the ones I know

[bleak scroll]

thanks!

one short of a true final dynamic special

i guess i can use Roze

because by extension, she would be in the game too

[golden summit]

Oh you mean piloted as in popular users?

Catastor is rescue cat I think?

[bleak scroll]

i meant both

actual in-universe pilots

[golden summit]

Union carrier is buster whelp

[bleak scroll]

and cards that are commonly used with those machines that could be pilots

[golden summit]

Halq is p much any tuner and any deck

[bleak scroll]

like downerd and zeus

[golden summit]

Halq was used by everything under the sun

Like fiendsmith

[bleak scroll]

any particularly popular decks?

[bleak scroll]

can you explain why this one and catastor/rescue cat synergize?

[golden summit]

Rescue cat was because of a deck called synchro cat

Which was a synchro deck that abused rescue cat for synchro plays

[bleak scroll]

aaaah

i see

[golden summit]

Catastor could be made off just cat, and was a good synchro at the time.

[bleak scroll]

https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Ally_of_Justice_Catastor

this one?

[golden summit]

As for halq... steam the cloak, jet synchron, and o-lion were popular to summon off it.

[golden summit]

Yep

[bleak scroll]

thanks!

[bleak scroll]

oh, what about this one?

[hard furnace]

Mechlord emporer wisel

[golden summit]

My mistake, it's dragon buster destruction sword

(which is buster whelp but with a sword)

Dragon buster prevented your opponent from special summoning monsters from the extra deck while equipped to a monster, and union carrier equipped it.

Alternatively, dawn knight is apparently the card that got union carrier banned. But I don't remember why.

[bleak scroll]

thanks!

Guys I think I found the melffy artist

https://www.instagram.com/ruru_tea_?igsh=OGVmY3Z5eTM5Z2w1

[smoky totem]

Guys can I have some help?

[clever linden]

sure, for what?

[smoky totem]

I'm trying to base an oc off Jaden from from gx

I wanted to get some help from other gx fans

[clever linden]

Sure then, I can help I think?

[smoky totem]

Well

Have you watched gx

[clever linden]

yes

that's why I offered

[smoky totem]

Well could I show you my notes?

[clever linden]

Sure thing, just tell me what you need help with overall and I'll give my thoughts (I am busy rn tho so my replies will be sporadic)

[smoky totem]

He developed a reputation as a friendly, down to earth magistrate who took care for the needs of his people. Known traditionally as a conservative region, local Tahanos broke precedent by electing him and praising his leadership. He was known as an avid socialist and implemented policies to benefit his subjects. He worked with local unions to secure more benefits for them and took part in traditional festivals. He has said he has a strong interest in classical rhetoric and this helped him along the way.

When it came time for the Prince to choose a regional secretary, Jaden hoped he could fill the position. Speaking up was risky for a new statesman. There was much debate in the regional house over various issues. After a long campaign, he lost to the previous reigning candidate. However, he did catch the eye of Prince Ignatius himself, and a year later was appointed to be in the Senate. Jaden was appointed only after a few years of statesmanship. This was a bit of a surprise to the court but they didn't give it much thought.

He is much loved by his people for pursuing a populist agenda. Many average nioyans have personally benefited from his policies and they therefore feel grateful to their Prince. His policies are controversial to the nioyan political elite though. Indeed many hate him for them. At times he appears oblivious to the dislike others have of him. Even though he is often criticized and opposed by others in the government, he has always tried to have good will towards them and sought to work with his opposition. He would attribute this to his Christian faith.

His personal style is informal and eccentric. He chose red, the color of the lower magistracy, for his uniform. This is seen as a throwback to his early days and a way to honor the common magistrates who are looked down upon. He prefers to call others by their first name often and allows others to call him such as well. He is known to use humor freely in conversation. He was once challenged as to why he didn't appoint more female cabinet members. He said "because this is a government, not a ballroom dance."

[clever linden]

I mean, I don't have much to say, it's a very thought out character, though seems also pretty different of course from the GX character, being far better educated, the difference in politics and the way your OC addresses the gender thing.

But it doesn't mean he's bad, and I see some influences like the choice in red being the most obvious thing outside of the name.

[smoky totem]

How do you think I could make him more like Jaden

[clever linden]

I don't think you need to make him more like Jaden to be fair?

But Jaden is for a lack of a more apt description. In the early seasons far less motivated, he doesn't have grand beliefs about economics, and is more concerned about protecting his friends and enjoying life.

Which is why we have his whole downfall with the supreme king

where he goes off the deep end in order to save someone he cares about

And him having to learn how to enjoy life again

You could put your own spin on that part perhaps, or if you want the early jaden bits, maybe his more lackadaisical traits.

But I do get translating Jaden's "sticking up for the little guys" bit to a strong political belief in caring for the lower class.

Though, do you have some more stuff about the setting itself? Like, is the OC part of an already existing universe, or is it just completely original?

[smoky totem]

No it has its own context

[clever linden]

Yeah I assumed so, but thought I'd ask

[smoky totem]

I tried using the tvtropes entry on Jaden as inspiration

Jaden is friendly, optimistic, laid-back, enthusiastic, kind, and very passionate about politics. He comes across as very welcoming.

This was the preceding paragraph I omitted

[clever linden]

Yeah I mean, I think as I said, it's a strong concept and I can already really feel the character from it ya know.

[smoky totem]

See the humor part was in part an attempt to copy Jaden's traits

But you said that trait clashes

[clever linden]

Well it's a lot more eloquent than what I can see Jaden use, like this really has the vibes of someone who knows how to dance around the political landscape compared to Jaden who's sense of humor is much more on the goofier side.

That and while I don't know if intended, it's not hard to read that line with sexist undertones.

Which to be fair, for a politician isn't insane.

[smoky totem]

Hmmm

I forgot the exact reasoning when I wrote it

Maybe I need to watch more of the show to get more of a feel

[clever linden]

Fair enough.

[smoky totem]

I think perhaps I should try to make him into a more likable, youthful politician but I didn't want to before

[broken cobalt]

Hey hey, i am considering making cards like these on my patreon, I would like to know if people would be interested (I draw and make physical proxies), but I think posting in the main chat would be against the rules? (Self advertising)

[hard furnace]

Not the biggest fan of anime girls but I do Ike the art style

[broken cobalt]

thank you! glad you like it even if you don't like anime girls ^^

[clever linden]

I mean, as long as you don't post your patreon or any platform where you may sell these proxies, you're free to post them here.

Of course once you have built up some level of well, being known we're much more lenient on artists doing stuff like mentioning commission rates.

Very cute art style though, and I like the background as well, the colors really help the actual character in the art stand out a little more.

[fiery jungle]

Indeed indeed it's pretty good artstyle

[broken cobalt]

Ah, perfect then! I always try to not post any links or spam info unless people ask me for them!

Thank you!!! I am quite proud of how it turned out! I tend to struggle a little bit with making the bg work well with the character, glad I managed well here!! ♥️

[cedar socket]

I think I need to work on the intros for my writing.

“As the sun set, night softly spread its dark ebony wings over the kingdom of Muge, in the land of Erce.”

[hard furnace]

“The bright sun set leading the calming yet eerie night to calmly spread its dark wings over the kingdom of Muge, and over the land of Erce”

Thoughts?

[cedar socket]

That also works.

That’s a banger name btw.

[cedar socket]

Character description
“A tanned, lanky youth around their age strode in with a languid pace, grinning widely as though he was strolling on a beach. He brushed his hands through sandy blonde hair, kept out of his eyes by a blue and white ragged bandana that resembled crashing, foamy waves.”

[deft oar]

Depending on what you're going for, that's a good way of describing a character, or way too much description, leading to purple-ish prose

If you want to write purple-ish prose, then you seem to accomplish that in this description at least

Note all the references to beach stuff.

Another clip of purple prose:

The smoke no longer obscured its gigantic form. It was a blue-green chimeric creature with two front-facing eyes, four lizard-like legs, and a body covered in grotesque scales and gills. Everytime it roared, it revealed rows upon rows of sharp, white swordlike fangs. A shark’s tail swayed behind it.

It's like too white

[cedar socket]

A white penguin… maybe a baby penguin?

[knotty ibex]

Shes more leaning in to a Stork
I don't just want to make the actual Penguin

I mean that works then lol

[smoky quarry]

My anime only oricas came from gaiaoricas on etsy

Needed these for my Yuri Deck

And they have their anime effects

I wish the TCG would allow you to play Oricas like this that haven't been printed yet n like an anime format in some official events like bringing anime themed cards and just have fun and have Judges play anime only decks where its like 1 per copy

[fringe fable]

Ivy Bind Castle

Man, I have violent flashbacks to it during my days in YGOPro.

What an awful time seeing that floodgate .

[smoky quarry]

But the card was never printed due it its effect, there was no way they could nerf it

[fringe fable]

They've nerfed anime cards before when they finally released it, I'm sure they can do it to Ivy Bind Castle as well.

[cedar socket]

Behold, the culmination of my current fixation on mechas/ super robots.

[charred flare]

So yea Markos relationship with the 5ds anime is pretty messed up

And sayer isn’t the big bad of my story

You want to know who or what is the big bad of my story

It’s

THE SHADOW REALM

it’s has manifested a conscience and emotions and wants to annihilate all the real people who mocked it for being the “biggest lie in English dubbed anime history”

Takes on many forms

I’ll show you my chosen forms for the shadow realm to appear in

Oh

This is why marko hates 5ds and sayer

That

That right there

Is why

Marko hates 5ds

And has a grudge against sayer

Yea

Oh it gets even worse

Marko not only wants to erase sayer from the 5ds anime but the entire Arcadia movement

And is successful

He literally takes the money and valuables from their head quarters by summoning his dragons then went he and his dragons landed on a nearby cliff with the loot he projected raigeki and nuked the place

And sayer now uses kashtira

So yea

The 5ds part of the story Limit Over Accel Synchro is going to be messed up

You literally see both sides of marko

Mokuba tries to stop marko because marko is a seto kaiba fan so he feels as setos little brother he’s carrying a lot more weight because they bonded and it’s like having another brother

And marko also formed a strong bond with seto kaiba

Heck the end of the first arc is literally a ceremonial duel between marko and seto

[hard furnace]

If he changes the future what happens to Akiza?

[charred flare]

Believe it or not Z-ONE is also a major character

As well as Akiza and ishizu and shadi to a degree

Z-one is trying to stop marko from changing the future in a disastrous way

How the characters story arcs went in the anime was their actual fate

Any changes can be disastrous

But yea about the shadow realm

What it does in the story is messed up

It literally screws with peoples minds

Despair depression sorrow

Hate pain

Heck it even has a fucked up cult that worships it

That does the most hanius things

Even drinking blood literally

And nero is the leader of that cult

The cult of the shadow realm

[charred flare]

That’s something that z-one is trying to prevent

It can have disastrous consequences

He needs to be constantly kept in check

His psychic duelist abilities somehow awakens the darkness within

[charred flare]

Something about the convergence caused everyone who played markos yugioh mmorpg ends up a psychic duelist because that is what their ingame characters are

[charred flare]

And kuriboh

Yea kuriboh

Uhhhhhh

Let’s just say there are some hilarious moments and moments of down right meanness with that Card

Since everyone is a psychic duelist in this pseudo isekai story people can collect a bunch of kuriboh cards and play god of destruction

Heck there’s also a guild that worships kuriboh and used them to commit mass terrorism in the mmo

And they are just a bunch of duelists that love kuriboh so much they love to troll

With kuriboh

and since everything is destructible outside of dueling because of the story of their character being born a psychic duelist yeah

They had a hayday

Oh and the obliterate anime scene in duel monsters once that’s about to happen GET AWAY FROM THE DUELING DUELISTS

OR GET HORRIBLY SINGED

seriously

Oh I’m also doing a badass concept also

Marko projecting certain monsters that have a whole archetype deck based around it and having them duel with said deck

Like albaz having pure branded aluber having branded despia

Raye having sky striker

It’s going to be awesome

Marko doesn’t say dark magician when he called on it he says mahad the dark magician

But yea and the timeline has a unique story arc

Starting with the first arc it switches to vrains because lightning is basically this “glitch” that started then we have gx then five ds then arc v then the final arc

Each final antagonist is a form the shadow realm takes

Yami marik supreme king jaden zarc lightning and sayer

Then it possesses marko

After marko killed sayer

[hard furnace]

I thought AI was the final villain of Vrains
