Wanted to draw something related to the most Halloween-themed episode in the series xD, I just love how everyone is dressed up as their fave card 🥰 (yes, Sam's fave card is Cosmo Queen).

Sam and Iris have been together for two years by this point and have the switching bodies deal more developed :B, so in Duelist Kingdom Sam doesn't really change with Iris until this duel, where Ryou and Sam were the ones dueling at first (with the rest excited to see them dueling for the first time). Once Yami Bakura traps them in cards, both Iris and Yami Yugi wake up and are shocked to see each other, Yami Bakura tells them to team up for the duel so he can trap Yami's soul as well if they lose. It’s a funny duel where Yami and Iris argue quite a lot because of their clashing strategies, you can be sure Bakura was laughing his ass off at them most of the time, their teamwork was terrible xP.

Character sheet for Sam, Iris and Neftis in the Memory World Arc.

My ocs are super old, and I think I've finally reached a final form for them, hence the details explained in these :3.

Got inspired by some ygo…arc V? Magazine pages for this, I’ve always wanted to make character profiles for these 2! Sam and Iris now have a bit more visual difference, Iris’ bangs are straight like Neftis’.

Some fun trivia about Neftis. When Pegasus found a tablet with what looked like a dragon (the same one from the Tablet of Lost Memories) and a phoenix linked to the Millenium Pendant and Rod, the Egyptian inscriptions described a “phoenix of Neftis” (referring to the phoenix that way bc it was Neftis’ ka). So Pegasus named the monster as such, thinking that was the monster’s name, linked to the Egyptian goddess Nephthys and not an individual. So Sam and all the Yugioh gang have always known Neftis’ name, they just had no idea xP. (Imagine Sam’s annoyance when she learned THAT was Iris’ real name in the memory world arc haha). (btw I write Neftis to refer to my Oc and Nephthys for the phoenix or the Egyptian goddess so it’s easier to differenciate, but both are pronounced the same way xD)

Duel Links Sam and Iris

I've been meaning to make Duel Links sprites for both of my girls <3.

Iris is technically "Yami Sam" xP but unlike Yugi, Sam gave her a name when they met, this name being Iris. I'll post a comic narrating that story soon.

Q: was Sam able to see Iris when she was young and had just gotten the millennium pendant? Sam: yep! I was able the see the spirit as soon as I got the pendant when I turned 8. It was mostly at night but sometimes the spirit would appear at day time too. You may think it must have been scary but I was a child and the spirit was somehow like a companyon for me, specially after my mother died, “maybe it is her spirit!” I used to think, tho I never really tried to talk with her until years later. The times I could see her at daytime were hilarious though, she was so weird!

Gosh what a good question! xD I had a lot of fun answering it, thank you anon :). You can’t tell me Pegasus wouldn’t have been the best dad in the world okay TvT he definitely would!. Anyway…the lil kid Sam is with in the last panel is actually Yako Tenma from Yugioh! R manga, he's playing Pokémon in his gameboy color and Iris can't understand what she's seeing.

At first, Sam wasn't aware of what her father was doing in the shadows. She noticed his slow change in behavior as the Millennium eye's influence grew over time, but was too scared to confrot him.

There comes Duelist Kingdom, Sam befriends Yugi and the rest and gets to know unconditional friendship for the first time. Once she finds out the truth (after Yugi duels the fake Kaiba), she got super pissed went to confront him at the castle...sadly Pegasus was too far gone by that point and was willing to harm Sam (luckily Iris was there).

Continuation of this :B

Puzzle & Dragons Sam

I made this piece for my girl Sam's bday on September 5th, did I really have to make a Puzzle and dragons version of Sam for her bday?…It’s the first time I've made bday art for one of my ocs so guess I had to go all out? 🤪. I really love Cosmo queen! And the galaxy motif works so well for them 🥰. I’ve always struggled with using effects and making illustrations like these xD so when I saw the puzzles and dragons collab with ygo and the beautiful illustrations with the characters and their monsters I just knew I had to make one for my ocs! I had soooo much fun with this! (Honestly I’m still not totally convinced with how it turned out tho, I may revisit it once I practice more!)

I made Sam’s original wardrobe in 2013, and after so many years I decided to update it, especially the ones I felt weren’t so in tune with the series’ fashion style (ya know, 90’s - early 20’s). And at last I decided to update her Battle City outfit ;; so here’s her updated wardrobe!. Some details: -School uniform: Sam joins Domino High School after the other Yugi and Anzu meet with Ishizu at the museum (Sam was there as well). Once Kaiba announces battle city and she parts ways with Anzu and Yugi, she phones Otogi and tells him she's in Domino (they became good friends when Otogi was visiting Pegasus' castle), Otogi is the one who gives her the idea of joining their school. She’s reading Japanese classical literature and having a hard time with some of the old kanji. -Battle City: Sam likes wearing high heels :B, she uses a belt for her deck. I have many more outfits for Sam through battle city and will post them soon, this is the main one. -Doma Arc: This is the outfit I modified the most. Sam is kidnapped by Doma to reach Pegasus at Industrial Illusions (Mai simply appearing in the highest floor out of nowhere always felt so weird haha) Mai uses Sam to threaten the staff and to force Pegasus to duel her. Sam was packing her things to travel with the gang when she’s taken, so she was wearing the pants and an Industrial illusions tshirt (4th image). Doma waited until she took the pendant off (to change into her pijamas) to attack. After Pegasus’s soul is taken Doma wanted to capture Iris’ soul so they gave Sam the millenium pendant back, Sam loses her cool and challenges Mai. While dueling she takes off the pendant so Iris would stop trying to calm her down, and loses. The next day, after Valon interrups Mai and Jonouchi’s duel, they find Sam’s souless body in Pegasus’ office, Yugi puts the millenium pendant on Sam’s body and Iris possesses it. Since she had no luggage with her, she takes Pegasus’ jacket and a scarf before leaving (thus why it looks a bit big on her).

-Kc Grand Prix: After the Doma arc, Sam goes back to Industrial Illusions with her father and retrieves some of her clothes, though they’re all pretty formal outfits. Anzu lends her the stockings and Yugi offers her one of his belts to store her deck for the tournament. -Millenium World: She’s crying while Atem leaves for the after life, she could also see Neftis briefly when the door to the underworld opened. I wanna thank my friend Natz from dA for helping me create these outfits! Here her sketch.
