I had so much fun creating this piece for my omegaverse AU, tell me where your love lies

[unfinishedslurs]

Congratulations, Yuuri, you got drunk and tripped headfirst into all your hopes and dreams

[Viktor says something to Yuuri’s parents about Yuuri being so nice always carrying his bags for him when they go out shopping]

Yuuri’s small, pleased smile down at the table is wiped off his face the second Minako says, “Congratulations, Yuuri, you really did achieve all your dreams.”

“All his dreams?” Viktor asks, bemused, ignorant to the dread Yuuri feels rising up like a wave next to him.

“Minako-sensei, don’t—“

“Ohhh yeah,” she says, because she hates him and wants him to die. “Yuuri here has been daydreaming about carrying your bags since he was…what, fifteen? Sixteen? You told some magazine you liked shopping, and—“

Mari slams her hands on the table. “Is that why he kept asking if I thought Viktor’s arms ever got sore carrying all his stuff?”

“Nee-chan!” Yuuri wails as he buries his face in his hands.

“I reminded him that you were an Olympic champion and could probably bench press two of him,” she tells Viktor, with zero regard to her brother trying to die of embarrassment next to her. “I think he took it as a challenge.”

“Oh, was that the phase where he got really into off ice conditioning—“ Minako asks.

“When he tried to have our parents install a pull-up bar in his room, yeah—“

Would they stop if he started crying? Somehow, Yuuri doubts it.

He peeks up at Viktor through his fingers, and almost squeaks when he realizes Viktor is already staring at him, eyes fond and cheeks red, although not nearly as red as Yuuri’s.

“That is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard,” he breathes.

Mari looks him up and down, raising an eyebrow. “Yuuri’s been planning your wedding since he was twelve. He’s going to be a bridezilla.”

“I have not!” Yuuri exclaims loudly. “And no I won’t! Stop talking to him!”

[actuallyrandompersondaily]

"Are you really going to coach him?" Mari asked, head tilted as she took in the sight of Victor napping on the floor. "Would you even know where to start?"

Yuuri flushed, sitting back on his heels.

"Ah, I think so. Celestino had us all help each other out with jumps and step sequences when we could, to try and make us stronger skaters overall. And I've choreographed for other skaters before, though not as often as I had for myself."

"If you're sure," she replied, turning back to the stack of towels she'd been folding.

They stayed silent for a few moments as Yuuri turned the situation over in his head.

"…Do you think it's a bad idea?"

♠ Knight of Spades - Mari ♠

〈 Protector of Innocence 〉

Ahhh I finally get to post this :D It was an honor to be able to contribute to the amazing project that is Yuri!!! On Cards from the Yuri!!! On The Web Discord server!

You can see the entire project via this masterpost! If you'd like more context for this gigantic YOI AU, head over to this blog post for an explanation of everything.

I'd like to give a massive shoutout to @arom-antix and @lines-on-ice for basically putting this all together and making this amazing idea a reality. I know Arrow credits me as one of the admins of this project, but I really only made a Google Drive and did a little research for the artists on how to format their cards haha

I had a ton of fun coming up with Mari's design as the Knight of Spades. I knew right away that I wanted Mari's design to reflect her Japanese heritage since the suit of Spades is a fully Japanese cast.

I've cut me talking about the art itself and my thought process while working on it so I don't nuke your dash, but if you'd like to read my ramblings feel free to

Making Mari a samurai was an easy choice since, one, that's basically what a knight was in Japan (albeit there was no legal binding between a daimyo and his samurai), and, two, I've always HC'd Mari as a protective older sister in the sense she'd be fairly hands off until someone made the mistake of bullying her little Yuuri.

I wanted her armor to be blue since that was the overarching color scheme for Spades, but choosing what blues to use was.. Difficult. There needed to be enough contrast between the different pieces of her armor to show that the armor is made of multiple parts while keeping the hues and brightness values close enough to still look cohesive. I also wanted to keep the blues relatively low saturated to bring our Mari's blonde highlights.

(As I was coloring her armor I realized half way through that I basically drew a Samurott ginjinka oops (￣▽￣*)ゞ)

I had originally intended for the sarashi (the belt) to be pure white, however when I put all the base colors down I realized the white was too much and pulled your eyes away from Mari's overall form. I knew having the belt be pure blue would make the belt blend in too much with the rest of the armor, so I ended up making the belt mostly blue with white accents as a compromise. I still wish the belt could have been white, but oh well.

As for the katana.. That was originally going to be pure blue, but like the belt problem, I had issues keeping the katana from looking muddied. I ended up trying five different variations of black/dark gray until I settled on what you see above lol. It was really difficult making the hilt of the katana look nice because if I went too dark with the blacks I would lose detail on the hilt, but if I went too light I would lose the contrast with the hilt's blues. As for the saya (scabbard/sheathe) I wanted it to be black, but I ended up matching it to Mari's armor instead because a black saya with a mostly black hilt somehow made the entire katana look flat.

The color palates I used for everything else was just me eyeballing her fleshtone and hair color through various screenshots I ripped directly from the show.

The background gave the the most trouble out of everything though because I'm not particularly great at making interesting, minimalistic backgrounds for my art. The card looked to plain without some sort of variation of color behind Mari, but since her armor was already so complex I needed a background that didn't take away from those complexities and didn't muddy the entire piece. I had originally planned to do a sumi-e type background, however I found that no matter what I did the sumi-e designs took away focus from Mari. Eventually I settled on a default abstract Procreate brush and drew lines until something stuck.

Overall I had a blast making this and also the borders for the rest of the cards! I learned a lot about how to format and prep digital canvases for making a card deck, too lol

Yet, as the competition concluded and Yuuri stood proudly with his gold medal—determined to have Viktor kiss it—the strain became too much. Yuuri’s body decided it was time. He turned to his right, where Seung-gil Lee stood with his silver medal, looking like he was so bored that he could probably split his mouth open while yawning, felt his world tilt, and collapsed.
