Description   It's been years since I posted my art on the internet but I thought I might as well start up again. 

Re-watching Duel Monsters start to finish I ended up falling in love with Mai all over again so instead of drawing her laughing and happy like I should have, I drew her in the arc where she is going through some tough shit. 

I felt violated when realizing that Yami Marik's torture affected her so much and also in a way happy that I got to see how it affected her. She has always been a strong character; to see her being haunted by something, to cling to a power unreasonably, and even try fight her fears in such a way just hit home. 

Mai is strong but not invincible. She will fight and heal but make mistakes a long with way. 
Mai would need the light every once in a while to keep her sane.

Not gonna lie, very pleasantly surprised to see a Yu-Gi-Oh! fanart in my InBox!
Or anything from you actually. o3o

I really like what you've done here and am very happy to see how you feel about Mai, largely because I feel the same way. She's such a great character

Sorry for the wait   Thank you for sticking around as well.
I'm glad you like the drawing. I have a lot of YuGiOh projects I'm doing that hopefully i'll finish if OCs don't take over my life. 
She is! I like Anzu as well but Mai just felt like she got more development. I obsessed over her deck for a while as a kid as well.

It was well worth waiting, I'll let you know! And I'd love to see art of your OCs just as much as of YGO.

I could get into an entire discussion about all the great things Mai brings into this anime character-wise, but I'll likely not say anything you don't already know. lol

I usually never finish my art when it comes to OCs so I post a bunch of sketches on twitter rather than here. uwu Maybe i'll make a sketchdump on of these days of all the draws. (too many to post individually;///

Agreed.

Oho boy, do I know how having too many incomplete doodles feels like xD
But Sketchdumps are pretty nice, if you get the urge you totally should compile one ouo

I noticed ; A; you should try it the community feels a lot nicer 

Tumblr scares me when it comes to posting artwork tbh.
The way of posting is really convenient and getting feedback would be a lot easier but i don't know i'd rather not have a voice or be known on there for anything.

so don't take my word for it xD

(ugh my internet is being flippy, if you get this more than once I'm so sorry)

Oh okay
He will happily do that then~
(You're correct he is comfortable with male and Zi/Hir pronouns since he is technically not a gem but an element.)
