I am honestly living for your worse manga au. Its actually so fucking cool :D i love the way you draw the action- and the idea of attacking (and being able to attack) a spirit is such a fun idea!
-Death Anon
thanks! doing this idly has been teaching me a Lot about choreographing fight scenes in a comic, which hopefully i won't have to do something serious with any time soon haha. and what it's turned out for this AU is a bunch of people who are really desperate to never be hurt again get locked in an arms race to find a way to hurt other people that won't come around and get them eventually, which does justify the magic i think, but also it does push for the magic to also be completely brutal and the visual behavior of spirits and souls to be the same as, if not worse, than the regular body. tldr all the shit marik pulls in canon (especially the scarab hourglass) owns hard and i want in and also for it to be worse and more direct. i'm glad this has wider appeal than to just me lol. cheers!
#not art#ask#the author's thinly veiled obsession with the way meat acts#to be fair you Can attack spirits in canon ygo. marik does that so much#and that kinda is what shadow games are. but also thats too much rituals for me. im not about that#those are safeguards to leash the magic and they are cool to see and watch but i love giving toddlers no cost zettaflare#thats me leaving the wuxia sensibility i think. no more honor no more structure you have absolute power at the tip of ur finger#and technically using it costs you nothing. it just also doesn't solve any of your problems either. go wild#well. it is interesting when pretty much none of the cast is interested in like idk world domination and shit like that#(except for zorc but thats bc zorc is a literal toddler for real who doesn't understand the fact that things have to be made to exist)#giving characters a hammer when they want to make a cake is great i think. watch them try to make their cake with a damn hammer#but no yeah rituals are a safeguard but they're also a buffer to me. like idk its like. validating ur position to act cruelly#bc ur by the book abt it. and of course it is a lot prettier than yknow. butchering a soul bodily#if theres a soul i dont think we get to do remote automated warfare on it. the hammer doesnt get to be out of ur hand#lmao i did tell friend yumi that theres specific nutrients in this average big-3-copycat shounen manga AU that i crave#no longer ethical to harvest from real life manga that exist so i made up my own. welcome to my attic garden

worse manga battle city finalist aka how many ways can you violently tear into a soul (the answer is many)
#yu gi oh#ygo dm#worse manga AU#yugi mutou#yami yugi#marik ishtar#ask to tag#heed blog desc warning etc i do this. i really really do this stuff forever#fun story i found a dragonball xyz whatever doujin with just. the Most Cleanest Bestest fight scene paneling and composition ever#like theres sex after that whatever i dont give a shit that fight scene is SO clean im genuinely actively studying from it lol#honestly idk how many fight scenes i'd actually draw outside of stuff like this lol. dont think thats where my comic art is oriented#but its always good to have in ur back pocket. especially bc im a fan of high effort jokes. jokes that are executed straight#anyways the soul vivisection -> color out of space shit is fully hanging there im not committed to it. its fun here but it gets like#idk danganronpa-y fast. which is camp so actually thats an argument For it if anything#if i get to drafting a continuation of this marik would monologue for like three pages or smthing abt how everyone eventually bows to pain#and you just gotta dial the amount of pain to control whoever you want. he'd know because he succumbed#and then yuugi would go don't worry other me! I'm used to this kind of pain! and both yami and marik would go hey! what the fuck!#also talked to friend yumi abt this last night while drawing and they not only did not talk me out of this idea they actively cheered me on#i think how this fight ends is marik eats yami marik. which is for some reason kinda paralleling [redacted yami backstory event]#idk the idea of like re-absorbing and processing an alter bodily symbolically speaking to finally confronting Any of#all that shit that happened to him. i do find that compelling. esp. with the consumption as like a triumphant positive winning act#barely even joking anymore when i say i was born to be a dungeon meshi enjoyer#anyways there are like eight or smthing continuity errors in this and i have merely elected to not give a fuck. send it as is. we ball#my chronic condition has like genuinely tanked my spatial reasoning i think. i used to be able to read maps without bodily turning them#now left and right have become distant concepts. making refs would probably help. im not gonna tho

Do you have any tips on how you line art? Any artist you look up to until today 🤔
ngl "any tips" is kinda vague lol idk anything abt like, how u approach art or how ur setup is etc and how my ink comes out is like. entirely procedural and mechanistic like that. yes i've liked the line thickness variation since my brush inking days and cater my setup and find brushes to work with that, but yeah like. idk it's like any other thing of art u do, u find the thing u like doing and u keep at it intentionally
though that^ is one thing that i've always been kinda conscious abt; "lineart" is for if ur piece wants colors and is gonna be about the colors. what i do i call "ink". it's the main course it's not the accessory for the coloring. and that's how i approach it too, as its own thing that doesn't need to or have to play nice with anything else, which means if i want to express anything in a piece i have to be able to do it with just my inking. texture, intensity of the lighting, weight, impact, there are ways to communicate all of that with ink, and i'm still learning with most of these things! it's kinda a language and u find ur own voice with it and nobody really speaks it in the same way.
as for artists i look up to yoann's spirou art was my ink bible for almost a decade and guided my brush inking style literally until i quit the medium (i did say i'm a filthy bédé acolyte lmao). more recently while messing around with the dip pen kinda style of inking i was literally drawing a one piece dj so oda's style was what i was working with the most, but in that sphere early ygo art (especially mignola-adjacent back then) and tegami bachi make up a decent amount of my ink dna. i never really tailored my ink to approach urusawa's style but i learned a lot of how to do certain things in ink (esp. facial features and expressions) from his work. not super relevant since i don't do it a lot a lot but i've always been enamored with the bg work in yotsubato! and it's kinda how i imagine inked environments in my head always
#not art#ask#u can see how much of my study in inking is just comic-related lmao#inking for an illustration is a different approach than inking for a comic too. the shapes u work with will be different. u usually#won't have access to the kind of motion-describing lines comic work affords u. in exchange u can pack ur piece way denser#i hold ''comic art is closer to handwriting than to painting'' very close to my heart. if u apply painting rules&guides to comic art#it pretty much never works. most of the times ur abstracting ur subject and communicating the idea of it way more than#trying to directly capture it. its why ink and comic are kinda intrinsically linked in my brain. the two things come together naturally#thats actually a sticking point for me lol one of the adages that haunted me as a baby artist was ''draw what you see not what it is''#❌ WRONG FOR COMIC u ARE drawing the truth not the reality actually. iconography! linguistics!#anyways thanks for the uestion if u clarify on where in doing ink or lineart ur finding troubles then maybe we can come together and#troubleshoot together. im no scholar nor am i an art savant But i Have been doing ink for almost two decades and im still alive#so im actually immortal and no art woes can defeat me. we ball

LIVING for your ponytail Yugi he’s so cute 😭💖
thank u! i hold dear in my heart the way yuugi is like a little plushie that wants nothing more than to die a noble death
#not art#ask#probably why i also refuse to draw yami taller or with the chiseled jawline he gets in canon#thats a child none of us get to forget thats a child#there kind of is a sense of like. swimming through the currents of mythos to reach real life? in the original ygo manga#(mostly talking abt manga bc that's truly like the only ygo media I actually look at and feel a kinship with lol. idk shit abt the anime)#a lot of the story is told with a heightened sensibility a la sailor moon. exaggerated characteristics colloquialized events etc#it fits the way teenagers feel emotions yes but it is also Convenient. like the way kaiba drops the cuff key into the harbor#and it falls directly into jou's field of vision. that's not how that works in real life#it's kinda drag-like in tone. essential steps with spectacles as the mortar and emotional arcs as the throughline#yuugi's wish for kinship and understanding and appreciation is realized within this framework and then the framework like#packs itself up and exits stage left. it's a year-and-a-half-long dream. you only bring into real life what you think of to bring#and that like. kinda fits with how yuugi reads in the manga for me. where he's always reaching to be A Character while not being able#to stop being just a teen in some city at the same time right. listen i have pdfs worth of chatlog with friends abt gender reading#and all of the stuff with the cute little things whose specialty is being cannon fodder or sacrificial lambs and the dialectics etc in ygo#the toy is the actual character while the fantasy and you holding it is in fact the messy reality of you#would like to say ''yuugi looking cute as hells is important to all of that'' but tbh thatd be a lie lol#i do just think the star shaped ponytail is a good idea i wanna keep drawing. but also yeah softening takahashi's style is kinda#a shame but I do think for the purpose of my own art at least it is kinda somewhat intended as commentary? in a sense#big ups to my guy rest in peace you were doing all that straight lines and circles and chrome in ink in the year of our lord two thousand#it is INSANE that ygo ended looking like that. at that point in time. not my preference but neither is caving or deep sea diving#he and his assistants were doing that shit By Hand. do you know how fucked up that is#but yeah due to the art style being that kind of clean and geometrical and processed there is. not a lot of greeblies#as well as a lot more risk of tangents and things reading not super clear due to line uniformity etc#and I like my greeblies and am from the fuckass school of french language comic so. here we end up#one thing i pride myself on in my own art is doing my damn best to get across the texture and weight of subjects with just ink so#i do think i make yuugi extra squishy lmao. like if u ragdoll him at a wall itd make a thwack#and <3 i categorically refuse to make atem/yami any more solid <3#thank u for coming to my tedtalk sorry this happened under ur ask. actually not sorry its my house. welcome to my house

one thing i do want for the worse manga AU is the magic also has to feel meaty. goopy. physical. anyways here's a guy with some extra arms
#yu gi oh#seto kaiba#maximillion pegasus#ft. yuugi and yami yuugi#worse manga AU#thinking abt kaiba in this and the way he'd be an absolute materialist. it's all in the body and death is the complete erasure of yourself#so once you die you become irrelevant. you have no more link to the living#so his duel against pegasus who bypasses the body to hit the soul would be hilarious lol. nobody will come out happy#the whole point of this AU is to like cut through the magically justified justice of the original series (at the cost of making it#more boring lol) to go what if it's not beautifully compositioned and geometrically built and myth-like and colloquial in tone#what if instead of being poetically consumed by darkness ur opponent's face just caves in and it's messy and it sucks#and keeping the magic as it is in canon would kinda undermine that lol. tldr i keep drawing characters' souls getting torn apart#and blasted through and kinda gruesomely morphed by hands#''are you excited to mess around with battle city and marik's bullshit'' Yes. Next Queastion

Vol. 8 Ch. 337: Over a Different River
#yu gi oh#ygo dm#worse manga AU#yugi mutou#yami yugi#katsuya jonouchi#joey wheeler#seto kaiba#maximillion pegasus#ryuji otogi#duke devlin#marik ishtar#ryou bakura#its poster. genuinely do enjoy how they wear more normal clothes the higher up this piece it goes#no joke doing tones for bakura was so funny I blocked out the stripes on his shirt and went check manga ref and. thats it thats all there i#debated putting him in a cloak like that one he wore the night yuugi got robbed but ultimately decided against it#also debated putting him in cosplay foam armor but also put that away. even tho itd be Very funny#marik with the y2k werewolf cut is so real like thats a teenager alright. he would make that decision thats correct#actually also from the same chapter I pulled refs for bakura I also pulled refs for otogi and. he was for sure wearing a fishnet tank huh#gods ygo owns. what series before or since#tbh all things considered i might change pegasus' hair back to like in canon. bc thats just a really clean and perfectly conveyed silhouett#the tails I will 100% keep bc it's extremely tacky AND it provides some fun trails for movements. but the hair. I think abt it#kaiba's doc ock arms Are modeled after the blue eyes white dragon bc it's the obvious choice#okay thats it for this one i think. in the middle of drawing this i was like huh this is shaping up to look like a chapter cover of a sort#hence the caption. thats fun im having fun with the all-screentone thing rn#well. i eat now. and then sleep. we enjoy sustenance

Actually going feral over your artstyle, it so prettyyy
It looks edible to me <3
-Death Anon
hey thanks! feel free to try
#not art#ask#you know what. this is kinda new to me lol. i dont think folks really ever tell me my art style is ''pretty''#what i draw sure. that has happened before#but my art style.... well. this one style i use for the most recent stuff is. new? i love ink and my whole thing is ink but#i think i just freshly cracked the more manga-oriented comic style recently. the like digital g-pen kinda approach#and then added my extreme affection for line weight variation in there too#long sentences to say this is new in like most ways lmao. i fuck around with my ink a Lot bc im easily bored but#i didnt expect the end result of a bout of fuckin around to be. pretty? thats wild thats straight up never happened before lmao#well. thank u im glad to know over a decade of efficiency over spectacle can still result in art thats actually nice to look at#thats fun! hey thats fun. we take that

#not art (yet)#is it possible to draw yuugi and yami and not have it be the gayest shit you've ever drawn#that aside tho the ink is doing a lot for me. im really feelin it im Inkin ova here#the mala was a part of the mishmash curse-containment thing yuugi has going on at first but the moment I thought it could be#yuugi's counterpart to yami's millenium puzzle I went. hogwild. (takes a swig from a flask) its cute i think its cute#everything else is like cleansing and evil-banishing or whatever but the mala is like. you use it to time verses in reciting sutra#yuugi is fully doing this shit in a tourist ass way lmao so he wouldn't like. do that. but fidgeting with it would help him calm down#so it's like. much less about the puzzle's influence on him and more about himself#<- trying to justify my choices so the physical affection with artifact thing can Really go both ways

i like that the power scaling in the worse manga AU goes a classmate → a biotech genius with four extra machine arms → a self-engineered "perfect life form" → a circus gymnast → a tour guide → a LARPer
#not art#in order: jonouchi kaiba pegasus otogi marik and bakura#scribbled down a composition for a like. ensemble adversarial presences poster and thus forced myself to#figure out a general design for most of these people lmao#not included here but should be is yami who is You (Bad Ending)#most of these threads/designs i pretty much just follow like the easiest/funniest option lmao#like pegasus i think pretty much is straight up a vampire. a re8 kinda vampire but still a vampire#kaiba is like.... doc ock if the tech is sheddable#(he is also probably way worse bc he never got to play touys again until yuugi. he's whimsiless to an abhorrent level)#marik is. maybe not worse but still horrid in a different direction. he got a semi-normal life after he killed his dad#and then the puzzle rang and he voluntarily threw all that shit away bc through all of it nothing's stopped the pain#therapy would solve a decent amount of ygo turns out. anyways uhhh#bakura being a LARPer is just funny but also I love the millenium world being a ttrpg thing too much to let it go#and also it'd kinda mirror yuugi (sugoroku was a theater stunt coordinator and now he runs a costume warehouse)#great setup for a This Gun Prop Is Actually A Safety Violation joke and nothing else. thats it thanks boys#this poster is taking shape but it Is funny how everyone is a highschooler and then pegasus is also there#granted I relearned on the reread he was 24 when bakura killed him which makes him a little toddler to me#and also explains why he drinks wine while reading comic that's 24yo behavior#pegasus is so fucking funny I love him. he pisses absolutely everyone off and then bakura kills him for real and he never shows up again#well. except for the ygo R spinoff where tenma yako cannot shut the fuck up about him. its great. why am I talking abt pegasus alluvasudden

a totem pole of hopeful idiots
#yugioh#ygo dm#worse manga AU#yugi mutou#katsuya jonouchi#joey wheeler#yami yugi#feathershipping#yes jou's ears are pierced. i folded like wet paper the moment the idea appeared#tbh freehanding the foliage in the second piece without blocking out the shape first took way too much brain power#but its nice to know that i Can do it#I imagine in the worse manga yuugi does get more involved in the rintama gang plot. this is so completely predictable but. listen. listen#that shift of dynamic early on intrigues me ok. jou honing in on yuugi for something he values but yuugi despises#and then the hirutani thing and yuugi directly asks the puzzle to protect jou for the first time and jou taking that cue to see the#friendship along at yuugi's speed (read: play some nerd shit games with him)#a sorta neat feature of this AU is once yuugi and yami have separated themselves from each other they get#exponentially better at their trade bc they literally have a spare pair of eyes on lookout lmao#n e ways. it is time. for me to sleep#good nite lads. if it all goes well i will never have to think abt mw/cd in this AU (<- is already thinking abt it)

#sonic the hedgehog#carpo the frog#sonic OC#feverishly pulled up a stack of sonic oc character sheets as reference to make that character sheet above in one night#carpo was made in uhhhh january of this year i think. and then i just forgot abt them for a hot second#which. well now that the bloodhounds (hubris) are after my scent here i come crawling back to them. carpo will save me#carpo you will save me (they have already moved address and cannot be found where Im looking#actually idk if there are canon frog mobians. if there are dont show me i will be disappointed#also carpo isnt blinking at all time thats the shape of their pupils. they also arent rly smiling at all time thats just their mouth

dungeon dice monster/black crown would be so fucked up in the worse manga. you go to the circus and the aerialist brings you backstage and flings you at walls repeatedly
#yugioh#ygo dm#yugi mutou#ryuji otogi#duke devlin#worse manga AU#porting over tags from the wip post (which is now anihilated) ->#otogi's an aerialist btw. bc his dad's a clown and his home's a big top and his life's a fucking circus#(sugoroku was a stuntman and theater fight choreographer before he retired. now he runs a costume warehouse)#(an actor and a clown beefing leading to generational grudge is the funniest thing to me actually so)#end ported tags. anyways its Insane how ddm is Like that like im not alone right. the way the devil's board game is drawn#straight up just so jonouchi has a convenient tool to pry off the puzzle. master storytelling. i love yugioh#the thing is in this AU they would just be beating each others up and all of the tension would be on collecting the puzzle pieces#so it would be way more boring. and even more melodramatic. and so fucking much choreographing#I did this much and like it but damn if it didnt tire me out lmao#the way yuugi keeps going like im so sorry other me i let them break your heart its my fault this happened. girl have a sense of self#he makes me insane. I think in this AU he knows and acknowledges that being nonviolent is a conscious and selfish choice#that he makes Because he will never be more violent than the worst person in domino but he can be the one least likely to strike#in his immediate vicinity. and then yami shows up like no no babe you Are capable of transcendental violence!#you just have to pickle in a puzzle being slowly broken down by vengeful sacrificial ghosts for three thousand years <3#(and go through completely dehumanizing lifelong training beforehand i think but he doesn't know that. yet)#anyways I think the other thing with worse manga ddm/black crown arc is if yuugi isn't in contact with the puzzle then#it can't heal him. so he Will be risking some limbs and such in that circus#thats all i go sleep now. goobaba. have a time and enjoy#!
