Description Inspired by the doujinshi: Left Behind by
Go read it to understand this comic!!! Link -----> arisueve.deviantart.com/galler…

It started as a simple drawing of Marik...then turned into a comic...then turned into a digital comic. This is the first time I have ever drawn out a comic, then lined it digitally, then colored it...and all within one day. Yes, this took me 5 hours, approximately. And it is bloody beautiful! TwT

It didn't turn out exactly matching Left Behind . Marik is my favorite yu-gi-oh character and I just imagine him to be a strong personality. He really is. In the original series he did overcome his dark side...the part of himself that was filled with such hatred and pain that it wanted to destroy him along with everyone else. Now switching to the thiefshipping aspect, losing Bakura would not stop Marik. He would go to the ends of the universe to find him, and Arisueve captured that beautifully. I think that is what inspired me~

I hope you like it Arisueve! I have never been so inspired by a fan comic/doujinshi before and this turned out fantastic in my eyes!

Characters are Marik Ishtar and Yami Marik (known as Melvin int he abridged series) from yu-gi-oh!

Woah that's wonderful!! It turned out sooo good!
I really love the colour! It's amazing how much work you put into your artwork! And I feel
so honored that my doujinshi inspired you to draw this
And I like you're idea of Marik being a very strong character! I absolutely agree with you that Marik would do all he can to see Bakura again!
Wonderful short comic! Β

Thank you!!!

You caught him with that strength in your doujinshi, I think that was one of the things that caught my attention (among some other things~) and helped the inspiration.

Are you working on part 2? I so can't wait to see it if you are!!!! *goes has a fangirl moment for like an hour* >w< ~<3

That's absolutely wonderful! β™₯

Yes! I'm working right now on part 2! But only sketches at the moment, so I have the full doujinshi; and only need to outline when I'm finished with the story

YaY! I bet a lot of people are totally looking forward to it! it's got such a neat plot too~ and one that fits in with the anime series!
I've been a Yu-Gi-Oh fan since it started airing in the United States. I think it's one of those fandom's where once you get into it, you can never get out XD
I even have a near complete Marik cosplay that I made myself!
Just the wig needs extensions and the millennium rod needs work...and I gotta make the earrings.

How about you? Have you been a fan for a long time/ cosplay at all?

Sorry, just tell me if I am bugging you with my curiosity and excitement ^w^;

Ahh me too! I'm a fan since Yu-Gi-Oh hit the tv here in Germany! It's kind of a drug haha
Oh cool, a Marik cosplay! I did one by myself, too, but never worn it to be honest...
(because I don't go to conventions here in Germany)..
But I cosplayed when I was younger
I wish you luck on the earrings! They sure will turn out great!

That is the most perfect way to describe it XD
Never wore it? You really should! I made mine 5 years ago and only finally wore it earlier this year to test it out (even though it looked like something a kid made XD My skills improved since then thankfully) I wore it to a Japanese festival. But I am working to make it ready for the big convention coming in summer!
You really should try attending a convention with friends and in cosplay. It's lots of fun~ especially when you run into people dressed like other characters from the same anime!
Thank you. I am trying~

Oh that sounds cool! We don't have such festivals here very often.. unfortunately
But maybe I'll visit one in my Marik Cosplay (or Bakura haha )

Really? That fails...I thought they were popular across the world. Except in Russia...I haven't heard of any conventions like this in Russia.
And you totally should visit one when you get a chance! Maybe even have a panel for yourself to sell your art and doujinshi! I think you would do pretty well~

Your stuff is good enough to be a legit doujinshi that you can totally sell. And then see posts about people who got it in the mail and are all excited about it, like the ones that occasionally pop up on tumbr XD
But keeping it a hobby is good as well~ mostly cause you can do it whenever the heck you want to do it and keep people in suspense so when you finally decide you want to finish the story and post it up everyone starts going all happy crazy and your messages blow up with excited comments from everyone who is a fan and people reblog it and more people see it and you get to sit there being all proud of your epic work. XD

Aw that's really kind of you to say!
I'll try to be a professional here in Germany but only a few publisher sell Mangas..
but tumblr and deviantart is fun enough Β

That kind of fails. Places around the world need to have the magic of what we know as manga and conventions XD
Oh, I also have a question! You won't happen to be ryobkr on tumblr, would you? XD

XDDD Knew it! Yeah, I had that issue before I got the idea for "Simarlin" then I just loved the heck out of the name and try to use it for most of my stuff~
And Oh my gosh!!! You put up the new stuff for Left Places!!!!! *squeals with joy and excitement* >w<

That's great if you love the name! I named my tumblr years ago ryobkr (because I had no other idea) and now everyone knows me
with that name... And now I'm searching for a better one haha...
And yes! From now on I'll upload the rest of the doujinshi Β

XDDD Already searching once again? Well eventually you're bound to find something else epic~
WHOOOooooO!
I made more fan art for your doujinshi but I posted it only to tumblr this time: simralin.tumblr.com/post/11868…
This time it came out legit! Just how I imagined it and based off your version of the characters.
