Description Alright... I've struggled with that horse for three months, and I'm finally letting it go. Just focus on Bakura in his shiny and determined glory and don't let the horse ruin the rest of the view! ;-;

Picture was inspired by this little music segment. I don't normally put music lyrics, but I think this really describes TKB so well:

The end is never the end, a new challenge awaits
A test no man could be prepared for
A new hell he must conquer and destroy
A new level of growth he must confront himself
The machine and the ghost within
This is the journey of the man on the moon

I apologize for the slow submissions. I've had very little time between starting school again this semester (senior year, whoop whoop!) and being involved in my society. My focus for the next several months will be the Thiefshipping calendar and commissions.

Great! Just great, I can't say more. You can work with colors wonderfully. It is unbelievable what a great atmosphere you get alone with the choice of colours. But the pose slays me before enthusiasm. It is difficult to draw a horse, I have tried even so, but it's very difficult. But I can find no errors in your Picture and also Bakuras attitude is not easy. His gaze is fearsome, so rigid and merciless, but that is the reason I just love him. You have draw him great.
Oh my God, I love his weapon. It fits him so incredibly good because it reminds me of the scar on his face. Was that the intention? This is a super idea! With this weapon he gets causes pretty severe wounds. For his poor victims I feel already sorry.
The image is very much alive, dynamic, I get the impression he rides to me. You have thought even in small details, like the sand that swirls from below, or scars on his body. His Sixpack is so sexy! I am excited and can not stop raving about. I love details and admire people who muster the patience for a picture.
I must also commend you, how well you can manage your realistic style so we can recognize the character. 'heart: You can just it. You are a true artist and you need not worry about the horse. It has become just as perfect as the rest of the image. *_________________________*
Pity that we do not see why he draws his weapon. But I think, because Bakura looks to the right, the adversary is I outside of the image.
Wonderful! The is now officially one of my favorite thief Bakura images.
Just wow! And thank you that you have submit it.

In consideration to how much time I spend around horses, (I have 8 at home currently but more elsewhere), I find the anatomy on the horse quite correct. I mean, there are subtle differences but considering how badly you could have done with the horse-ITS AMAZING ANYWAY.

You always have the most compelling work! I love this as I do everything else you make! 8D Way to go Tae!

Kazuki Takahashi really screwed us over in keeping his sexuality ambigious. Seriously- that is hoooooooot, but I still think he's gay.
At least he didn't really give a characters in the Millenium arc for us to pair him with. I mean, no one in the royal court likes him, he killed everyone else, I think the only ones he really associates with is Diabound and Zork.
I can't ship that.

It is gorgeous! The horse is very impressive as well, the little tiny details that you have put into it makes it look amazing. And Thief King Bakura is impressive too, as usual. XD
Am loving his shiny sword and the movement of the Millenium Ring is just so pretty and well done.
It's rather mesmerizing.

I love how you make the ends of his cloak all ripped, along with his scars on his torso. It brings a lot more realism to the piece.
Overall the piece is beautiful~
