Title: Mah Yu-Gi-Oh Drawings!
Description: I CAN R ARTIST! :B


Danieru Lynx - May 28, 2008 03:05 AM (GMT)
Between 2003 and 2006 I drew a fair few Duel Monsters cards when I should've been paying attention to my teacher in class, 'cause I'm such a good student, :3

Aaanyway, I decided tonight to stop procrastinating and photograph and upload all of my drawings, so here they are in all their glory, =D

Enjoy!

Can I ask why you drew them exactly, instead of adapting them your way or doing what you want to make them cool?

Have them in different stances and poses. I mean I stopped drawing a long time ago (back in high school, writing became my talent), but I do have ideas for card art for my proxies that I would like someone to try and draw for me.

For example:

QUOTE
RDID-ECG46
Blessed Rain of Counters
Trap - Continuous
EFFECT:  For as long as this card remains face-up on the field, any card that produces counters of any type will produce double those counters.  Also, any card that can hold counters will ignore the "Max #" limitations on the number of counters that card can hold.  If this card is removed from the field, this card's effect will remain active until your opponent's 3rd End Phase after.


For this one, I see looking up from at an angle toward the sky and Breaker is standing there with his eyes closed and his head tilt to the sky, looking tired and embittered. His sword and shield holding to his sides and the rain is falling on him. The water would flowing and dripping off of his armor, sword and shield and it causes a light glowing aura to appear on him (due to the rain of course, symbolizing his strength and powers returning).

If I could draw that, I would.

I drew them that way because, in actuality, I'm a terrible artist. I honestly can't draw for shit. I've always wished I was better at it, but I've never really done anything about it to be honest. I copied the art-work of those cards exactly so that I could at the very least draw something that looks good, even if it's simply a copy. Perhaps some day I'll do the practice necessary to better my skills, but until then, this is the best I can do, ^^;;

I understand what you mean though. I really do wish I could draw things like what you described too. I eventually plan to write a Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic, and in the past I've considered both drawing illustrations for it and filming sections from it, as I'd love to be adept at both. I, like you, have a talent for writing, and so I want to ensure that my fanfic is different from everyone else's. However, I digress...

If you want to see what little I've drawn that isn't a copy of something else, then I'll be sure to upload it for you. Perhaps then you'll see what I meant when I said that I can't draw for shit, XD

Well... perhaps this topic would be better to discuss creation and creativity instead. It certainly would make this less off-topic. Plus, there's isn't really a section for things like fanfics or creating anything outside of cards anyway, so now is as good a time and it can just be moved if needed later.


Anyway. Interesting thing I do with my proxies, because I can't do anything without a backdrop is for all the sets I make, I design (at least in my head if not detailed out on paper) exactly the character I intend to have those cards. Their personality, how they react to situations, why they have those cards or what those cards symbolize with that person.

Again, if I could draw again, I would draw these people.


For example: My "new" (because it's been in production for months) Darkness set is owned by a guy who is essentially Luke Atmey from Ace Attorney 3 (Justice for All).

(Except my guy never laughs like that, more Dick Chaney thing going)
Similar in looks and very similar in attitude right down to the habit of always talking to people with his nose sticking up in the air while tilting his eyes down in that condescending way. He's a pretty boy of sort and well-educated, but his attitude is atrocious. The zombies and demons he uses basically symbolize that even though he's attractive and enchanting to a degree, his soul is rotting and decaying and ugly and twisted; so underneath, he pretty much looks like his monsters. His deck, monsters, and play-style also symbolize how much of a twisted individual he really is as well as how manipulative and grotesque. Truly, a "winner."


Yes, he's an antagonist. So much so, that even the other original antagonist hates him to the point of becoming an anti-hero (though still a villain, he actually runs Angels and Thunder). Trust me, I don't do redemption stories much. Both stay evil.


EDIT: I just noticed there is a such a section for fanfics and such. Though, I guess that neither of us noticed that. Also, that means I almost expect this thread to be moved there.

Yeah, there is; it's just that that part of the site has been SOOOOOOOOOO underused that people don't realize it's there anymore. A bit of a shame, really, to the point where I wonder if Baron & Ion even remember it's there still.

Anyway, Dan, those are damn sweet, whether they're copies or not. I can't do much beyond copying, myself, as anything I draw freehand will most likely end up one-dimensional, for a lack of a better word.
