I reserve the right to refuse any request, for any reason.
Five slots open! Shoot me a message and I’ll send you my PayPal email! I request half of the payment up front, to prevent theft.
PRICING EXPLANATION:
- “Base Price” refers to the line style, either cleaned sketch or full linework. I won’t do colors or backgrounds for the cleaned sketch, so keep that in mind.
- Cost stacks. For example, a lined waist image with simple shading and a simple background would be $20 + $5 + $2, or $27 in total.
- Painted images are priced as seen in the example, disregarding backgrounds. Max of one extra character, either human or animal, allowed for paintings.
I was watching this thing with the sound off wondering what on Earth the audio could be to cause this kind of reaction and nothing could have prepared me for this
anyway, this is my character for the pokemon ttrpg im playing, in which my friend decided we all get to be on a pokemon isekai adventure. things have gotten Fucky!
he used to be a team aqua grunt, but after acquiring kimchi (either through hatching or catching i haven't decided) went "oh great now i gotta be responsible for this radish--" and quit the gang. not bc they don't believe in the manifesto, just bc they need to provide for their radish lmao.
kimchi (the oddish) on the other hand is the embodiment of "father i crave violence--" lmao. world's most menacing root vegetable.
also the kyogre pin (idk if you can read it) is based on a real one i found that says "I believe in WHALE NATION", which i thought was just perfect.
BONUS:
kimchi evolved between me making that ref and now lmao

Don't worry, this isn't an OC. It's actually my redesign for Aki! Honestly I didn't even really change her that much, I just made her like 10% more goth lmao. Anyway I spent way too long designing this outfit so [gently grabs viewer like a squeaky toy] I'm gonna talk about it.
Long rant under the cut, so if you don't wanna read it feel free to scoot lmao.
We all know Aki's outfit, right? Very Victorian-inspired, but with a short pencil skirt and garters. I wanted to keep that same vibe, since I'm a firm believer in letting people wear what they want without judgement. However, I also know that Aki was designed by someone, since she's a character in a story and thus has no actual agency over her own design. Also, she's canonically 16 in season 1, and I really don't like the trend in mid-00s anime to sexualize teenage girls. Hell, it's not like the trend has stopped either, it's still happening! [pointed glance at momo yaoyorozu]
So what I did instead was take a lot of inspiration from gothic lolita fashion, as well as steampunk. Since lolita was first created to be as far from the image of the "ideal woman" as possible, it felt like a good starting point for what I wanted. Same with the corset, I personally believe corsets aren't inherently sexual, so all I did there was give her some little sleeves and a neckline lmao. Beyond that, I just added makeup and piercings.
The makeup was inspired by both corpse paint and visual kei makeup, as well as CV Dazzle, which is the act of using makeup to trick facial recognition. However, CVD is actually deprecated now, since the algorithm it was designed to trick has been improved. Also, I just think it's neat lmao.
I didn't put this in the info since technically in the story we don't know this is Aki yet, but did you know her canonical weight is 43 kilograms? Even at 163 cm, that's very underweight. The healthy weight for a person of that height is between about 44.6 kg and 65.4 kg. That's 94.8 pounds at 5'4 for my American readers, with the healthy weight between 98.3 and 144.2 lbs. For reference, I put Yusei, who's supposed to be malnourished and visibly underweight, at 58 kg for 175 cm (or 128 lbs at 5'7). So uh......I put some meat on her bones lmao. My AU, my rules. She's 54.2 kg now, or 119.5 lbs. A much healthier weight!
now that the fics are revealed, i can post these! made these arts for the ygo 2022 mini fic exchange, but only ended up using one (the VHS one). some kanji/symbolism explanation under the cut uwu
- 「 牲 」: the title of the fic. read as "nie", meaning "offering", "gift", or "sacrifice".
- 「 愛してる 」: in the fic. read as "aishiteru", and is basically the most extreme "i love you" you could possibly say in japanese. so extreme, in fact, that most people never use it. despite being so common in anime, manga, and tv dramas, irl it's mostly used when 1) getting married, and 2) when someone is literally dying. so for yami bakura to have used it here......well. he sure doesn't do things by halves, huh?
- 「 倖せ? 」: in the art. read "shiwase", literally meaning "happiness". basically asking "are you happy?" re: the doll.
- 「 謹呈 」: in the art. read "kintei", meaning "humbly/respectfully presenting". usually used when presenting something (a gift, an assignment, etc) to someone you respect and/or see as superior to you.
- 「 俺の最愛宿主♡ 」: in the art. read "ore no saiai yadonushi", meaning "my beloved host". i'll admit, this one may have some errors or be a bit clunky, since i built it myself and im not actually fluent in japanese lmao.
"ore" is how yami bakura refers to himself in the manga (he also uses "ore-sama", but i went with "ore" here). "saiai" means "beloved", built from "最 (sai)" meaning "utmost/extreme", and "愛 (ai)" meaning "love". "yadonushi" literally means "innkeeper", but it's also used to refer to a parasite host. it's also what yami bakura calls ryou in the japanese version (both manga and anime), so i figured i'd use it here as a sort of affectionate nickname. the heart is just a heart lol.
to be fair, one day late is better than like. twenty day late. also i had a metric crapton of homework get dumped on me at the last second, so once i was finished with that bullshit i just conked out lmao
anyway! i know blood sacrifice doesn't work like this but leave me alone ok it looks sick. naofumi my dude why is ur armor so complicated tho like chill /j
BEHOLD! this is bicham, my vaporeon from the pokemon ttrpg! i found him as an eevee in a distortion, and he was so traumatized from his fight with zoroark that the water stone wasn't even out of my HAND before he snatched the chance to evolve.
so i completely forgot to post this. everyone, meet my feral little artificer. if he looks at all similar to another green-eyed one-armed character of mine no he doesn't <3
heard this audio and had to make a thing with it uwu
mostly to get back into practice with 1) making videos and 2) drawing this guy tbh
