Description That's Bakura, not Ryou. I decided to draw him in an unexpectedly gentle pose because I imagine that Marik's "scars" could awaken that gentleness in him.

Title inspired by a song from Two Steps from Hell . :]

Dedicated to who wrote an amazing fanfic called "Sunrise" based on this picture, found here .

Love it though!

A beautiful and most dooming air on this picture...
I like it. It's nearly as if you put into thought, how much the fire hurt him there one he was small... it nearly looks like it's bleeding again with the light.
Bakura's reaction is most cute... this made my "d'aaaaaaw"-face return!! x333

taemanaku In reply to xXSangNoireXx [2011-11-21 00:33:46 +0000 UTC]

That's exactly what I was going for... remembering how much it hurt back when he was little. Scenes between Marik and Bakura when they're talking about the scars always make me think of something like this, where Bakura is touching them and Marik is trying hard not to think back.

KingMalinOfKulElna [2011-09-29 20:27:59 +0000 UTC]

I FRIGGING LOVE THIS ARTWORK.

AND YES. BAKURA COULD LOOK LIKE THAT.

HE WOULD IN FACT.

Trust me I actually know him.

This isn't rp, I swear. I /know/ him. This is perfect.

Oh yea and Marik's back is brilliantly done.

I can't..I can't.. No. There are no words for this delicate beauty. For this... Insane genius.
How can you convey such emotions through art? Can it move someone to cry? most definitely.
I'm not even able to say how much I love you with each new picture you craft. BUT I LOVE THIS AND YOU!

Oh, you're so sweet!! Your comments always cheer me up!

I just love these two characters in a more emotional light. I love showing their uncertain and hesitant sides and uncovering something more than manipulation and hatred. <3

MadameDove In reply to taemanaku [2011-08-24 00:09:46 +0000 UTC]

I know. I think sometimes that people don't realize that there is more between the two than angst and hatred. Bakura isn't always a bastard and Marik isn't always angry.
It's just heart touching.

D: WOW. My parents normally give me my gifts really early... like months in advance. I actually don't know what to ask from them this X-mas because last year it was a tablet... but now I already have one and I can't come up with anything else I might need.

How much was your tablet?
I think it's that much. I'll go check the prices again. It's extremely expensive for my family too. My presents are almost always used and cheap. XD

I don't remember... my stepdad always gets things super cheap from eBay or places like that, so I wouldn't be surprised if he paid somewhere like 50-100 for it. But! There's one thing I'm becoming interested in buying: Corel Painter. It's a really cool coloring program, similar to Photoshop in some of its features, but mostly geared toward people who paint things from scratch.

It looks SO worth the couple hundred of dollars. 8D Though I found an older version of it on Amazon for $34 the other day - used, of course. I might just buy it!
