Description
"You're just across the table, and I'm trying to talk to you,But you won't even let your expression change for me
Even though I'm this close to you
They don't reach, my feelings don't reach, even though they're what's really important
Somehow, it seems like I'm being controlled by somebody
Does my heart really belong to me?
I can't hear you; your voice doesn't reach, it gets lost in the crowd and fades away."
That's a part of the translated lyrics of YGO's second opening, found on animelyrics.com. The song's called "Voice", by CLOUD.
I thought it sounded so awfully like Yami talking to Seto, since he's always trying to get through to him during their many duels. Something like that. o_o
Oh yes, BTW! ...while we're on the subject of these two characters. ^_^; I am quite fond of this pairing... so let this be a warning for those deathly allergic to shonen-ai, or just Prideshipping in general. *laughs* Although I've never drawn any couple/romantic scenes before unless requested to (always het), since I suck badly at those. I still have some urges though...
Anyway, I wanted to kinda draw this out... however, I wasn't really sure of where to go with it, and I'm not exactly satisfied with the result ...I hate crowds in more than one way, it seems. >_
(Gah, I've been meaning to finish a winter-y picture- what happened?! ;~; )

beautiful picture With meaning and everything. I'd say more, but I really can't think of anything much else to say other than that.

Not a Seto fan, but great work. I love your style and your colouring. And you're only 16?! Gah, lucky! You've got so much talent! I'm envious!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it, even though you don't like Seto very much. :3 Ah, I'm sorry if my style changes then... I think it's still developing on its own, though I hope for the better. ^_^;;
Yes, I'm 16... and thanks so much!! ;__; <3

Oh whee~ I found a prideshipper! This piece is simply very breathtaking, and Yami's hand outstretched strikes a very poignant feel on its impact.
The song is very apt for both of them, though I used to think that it's more appropriate for Kaiba, especially in the Battle City arc (he chased Yami ) But that's just me.
Faving this~ Thanks so much for the lovely work!

*waves prideshipping flag* xD! Thank you very much... I'm glad it gave such an impact. ^_^
More appropriate for Kaiba? *thinks back to Battle City* Oooh~ *snickers* That was very funny, how desperate Kaiba was to play a game with his card-game buddy.
Thank you for the !

It's...so pretty~! I made the right choice by watching you~
...Kaiba just looks so...hot. *_* And... like, "...STFU>FO.kthxbaii."
And it has its emotional side, too. xD I just...had to work hard to look past the erm, initial shock of seeing Kaiba like that. xD;;
Er...I...don't have an explanation? ><;;; For...all this.
8D;; *fail*

Ah, Voice is my favorite Yuugiou theme, so I love that you were able to incorporate it into a related art piece. I think the lyrics fit with Atem and Kaiba's relationship very well, and the dark/cold hues here efficiently convey the conflict and turmoil in their relationship. I love how the image is from Atem's viewpoint, with just the bracelet to allude to the hand's owner. You've obviously got the skills to do couple pics, so I think you should go ahead and fulfill your urges (and probably my own, seeing as I'm a huge fan of the aforementioned Mizushipping and because I am not allergic in the least to shounen-ai. XD;). I do like how you rendered the crowd, as the abstract quality doesn't detract from the main figures. The only thing that strikes me as odd is Atem's thumb; the middle seems a tad too thin. Overall, very lovely work. It's nice to see a Prideshipping image with real emotion and rationale rather than a ridiculously uke Seto in a pink dress or what have you. XD

Hehe... it's my favourite theme song aswell! And I'm very glad that you like the result of this picture. ^_^; Thanks for pointing out the hand problem! I didn't know how to fix that. Thank you also, for having faith in me in doing couple art! But unfortunately, I still have a ways to expressing anything romantic... characters tend to look more stiff when I draw them. *sweatdrop*
Oh~ another mizushipper? ^^ My next picture might feature that pairing. I'm kinda surprised I'm meeting so many supporters for this couple... all I hear about is revolutionshipping.
And omg. Hahaha. xD Sure, I love seeing fanarts of prideshipping, but I absolutely HATE OOCness... so uke Seto in pink dress is a no-no. ;___;

Haha. x3 I'm sure you'll get it right in time. :3 Practice makes better! <3
Oh yes indeed; it's my OTP. XD Though I don't believe there are as many Mizushippers as there are supporters for the shounen-ai pairings, and I hardly ever hear about Revolutionshipping in a positive light. o.o At least, there seems to be way more doujinshi/fanart for Prideshipping.
Ah, I think OOC fics are even worse. XD; At least some OOC fanart is aesthetically pleasing.

Raerith In reply to Sireinita [2007-12-28 03:43:08 +0000 UTC]
*nodnods* Yes, there are so much support for shounen-ai pairings, it's unbelievable. xD; However, maybe supporters for "original" pairings are more dedicated to them because they didn't pair them up just for the sake of it...(like many yaoi fans, I've come to realize. >_<; ). Revolutionshipping... I hear a lot from both sides. ^_^; I guess it depends on where you look.
OOC fics are scary... xD though I think fanart is a different story, since we don't know the whole story. Still... I love them if it's for the sake of humor/parody!
