I did!
I FINALLY FRICKING DID IT! WAHOO!!!!! :woohoo: :cherr: :party: :party: :woohoo: :dance:
Title says it all: this is a very late late birthday/extremely early Christmas present for one of my best friends on this sight Athena, or all you all know her :iconyamisorceress: I did this both as a birthday gift and as a thank you for that stunning pic she did for my masterpiece Let Me Be Your Wings! Oh ymn god I was so happy i was finally able to scan it!
I finished this in mid June but because none of the scanner sin my house work and no place in TOWN has one I was forced to rely on my "if all else fails" plan and wait until I got back to school to upload it! and HA-LAY-LU-YA! I'm back at Oneonta! Surrounded by scanners and working computers! :woohoo: :cheer: :boogie: :party:

I hope you like this Athena! XD
I'm so proud of this pic! This was my first time drawing Yami and Yugi and this is my first ever puzzleshipping pic and i wanted it to look perfect!
What i did was with Yugi i looked up the positions i wanted for them, traced them than made a copy i drew myself which i did with Yugi and i was so proud of hos it came out! Yami's was a nightmare! i think i searched the entire deviantart search engine under every form of his name looking for a picture of him sleeping and found non until i found a pose i liked on the title page of the third volume of my favorite Doujinshi series Cross Soul. At that point i was so tired I just traced Yami, but after i had to go back and edit it to fit the pic i erased and redrew so many lines (Especially his hair and his forelock!!) I think i redid all the lines of the original drawing...so no worries there.
The Kuribohs were a job to do! I knew immediately i wanted to add Kuriboh to this pic, and found the cutest place to put him (right between Yugi and Yami) but while i was drawing (and over time) I fell in love with all the Kuriboh brothers and decided throw them all in there!
Meet My baby Kuriboh brothers
Brown: Kuri
Purple: Lavander
Pink: Strawberry
White: Snowy
Turquoise: Perdo
And they're all sleeping aren't they cute?
what I did with them was I look all over the internet for Kuriboh pictures drew them all than practiced drawing them in different positions until i found the ones i liked best and places them all in here. Lots of layering. Than when all the skeletons (individual drawing of each character) were finished I inked them, traced them onto a clean sheet so they were all together and inked that!
:woo:
Originally, I was gonna have Yami and Yugi use Silver Fang: one of my fav cards cuz I love wolves, as a pillow, but I drew them both large so i could give them both more detail and knowing I could never draw silverfang to fit the page while looking porportionally correct (or that it would fit in these damn microdcopic scanners) I said the hell with it and drew a huge pillow instead!

this pic was MUCH easier to color than it was to draw (once i got over the dress of what colors I wanted and which ones were perfect which almost gacve me a heart attack)
I drew the Kuribohs first cuz they were easiest, and shoce the colors paced on placement. Than i did Yami and Yugi. The black in their hair was the only thing easy to decide which color to make (though i have to go over it since one of my pend ran out of ink). I think i tested my entire red, marroon, purple and gold/yellow marker collection before i finally decided on the Dark red for Yami's tips, the magenta for Yugi, and the gold for their bangs. Their skin i did with a peach crayon than scratched off to make it lighter and smooth it out (I personally like Yami better with pale skin than his tan though he looks gorgeous with both)
The blanket and pillow I did last, first i did the solid colors than i touched it up with the darker colors for the lines and shadows to make it pop. I figured the warm bright colors of yellow and orange made them all pop more.
Same with the background: the purple i felt was gorgeous and it made everything pop!
Bam! My pic is done! :faint:
I'm so proud of this pic! I have so many more yugioh deviations in mind that i can't wait to do because i love to draw, and it relaxes me.
My nest project is a gift-pic for my fried Fuysha-san who helped me when my idea block hit hoem and helped me get and idea for Chapter 10 of Let Me Be your Wings! So be on the look out: her request was a romantic/angst tendershipping pic and i've already got an idea, than my next is a second gift pic for another friend of mine who wantes an Alice in Wonderland theme style pic with the yugioh boys and I've already got that one in mind XDXDXD And it's ALL boys so, guess who gets to be the Queen of Hearts? :rofl:

Weapons of choice:
drawing: mechanical pencils, ticondarog and drawing HB pencils
Inking: sharpie, felt tip pen, Brust pens
Coloring: Color Markers, bic MArkers, Prisma markers, Alchahol based Sharpies, peach crayon

disclaimer: Yami Yugi and Kuribohs belong to Kazuki Takahashi. I did this for fun! DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT STEAL, COPY, ALTER, PASTE, OR POST ON OTHER WEBSITES OR YOU'RE OWN WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! I'M DEAD SERIOUS YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET ON MY BAD SIDE LEGALLY IF YOU STEAL THIS ONE!
