Description
See this picture with an R rating here.Yes, I've done another dark picture of Bakura. (Are any of you getting sick of these by now?
This is one of those pictures that started out as a simple sketch done for the heck of it that blown up into something more. After I had gotten a hold of some settei of the Ancient Egypt arc in Yu-Gi-Oh and saw that it included Bakura as a child I just had to try and draw him. The settei were interesting because they drew various expressions and poses for Bakura in it. I think originally the animators were going to expand more about the Kuru Eruna massacre and about Bakura in general (which would have made me a very, very happy girl), but for some reason decided against it at the last minute (which makes me a very sad emo goth farting suicidal bats girl).
The sketch was easy and the inking was surprisingly a breeze, but the coloring floored me, as the more I did, the more it seemed to demand to do the picture justice; especially when it came to choosing just the right background and add-ons. In the end a phrase that suddenly came to my mind decided it: "Just because I survived doesn't mean that I'm still alive..." I liked it so much that I just had to put it in. I find it rather fitting to Bakura's past self.
Another note I must make is that there are two versions of this picture: one that's rated PG (because it contains scary vengeful spirits) and another rated R (because it contains scary vengeful spirits and lots and lots of blood). Normally I don't do that sort of thing with my pictures, but I found that I enjoyed the end results of this picture so much, that I had to let those who don't like to see mature pictures enjoy this too.
Of course no submission would be complete without a plug. Considering the content, it's just got to be Aurora. (Insert standard warning against yaoi AKA boy/boy love here and an additional warning against those who don't like seeing Malik and Bakura paired together.)

I think it's a great story! though there are still some details missing... I mean, why did he never attack before? how comes his hate only took over at that moment?

thinking of it, the Millennium Items are practically surrounded by plotholes... I mean, that Millennium Tome, the book with the instructions on creating the Millennium Items, was quite exact... a bit TOO exact.

oh, that's too difficult and too much to explain here. if you watch me, you will see it appear in a fanfic sooner or later. but I don't think I'll get to writing it any time soon. march 2014, if I'm lucky. probably later, maybe not until summer holidays.

My friend felt so bad for him in this scene, she honestly hates seeing a character's family get killed right in front of them, and as a result having that memory scar them for life and what she thinks makes it worse is that there was nobody out there to help Akefia as a kid, which I agree with her too.
she has an OC named Mistress Ingrid the Oracle of secrets who also lost her family as a kid but had the sun goddess help her, then there was a part when the Oracle of secrets and Akefia met and Ingrid defeated Zorc and helped Akefia too.

Actually his name is not Akefia. That's the username of a person in Japan who used a Bakura skin for the SIMs and used him as an avatar.

galacticpink In reply to yukidragon [2010-01-14 00:12:16 +0000 UTC]
Thank you SO much. I was wondering about that. I personally call him Anpu, which is the Egyptian name for Anubis. Its a name I had him adopt, my fan birth name is actually Masud (its Arabic, means "lucky" - hence the name change) - I agree with Penguinicide. Bakura is just... not a good Ancient Egyptian name. XD
Thank you so much, I wasn't sure I was gonna be able to find the info. :3

Penguinicide In reply to yukidragon [2009-01-02 03:18:07 +0000 UTC]
I know it's not his real name.
But I find using Bakura as the Egyptian form is rather lame and I like Akefia better than the other names given to him.

Cool picture! No wonder Yami Baura is crazy, he had vengful spirts whispering in his ears all the time when he was little.

yukidragon In reply to agrainofsandingaland [2008-01-18 17:39:19 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, that's pretty much what I imagine his life must have been like since the massacre considering how calm and in control of the spirits he was as an adult. He's obviously had years of practice dealing with them.

I really like how you did the spirits, though. They've got just the right touch of creepy. :3
