Notice:
Let me say right now, you can keep all your foolishness to yourself, or tell someone who cares. You're only wasting your own time writing them down here! If you don't like the character, look away.

Title: Behind the Scenes

The Story:
It's a drawing of Téa/Anzu from YuGiOh, as she was possessed by Marik. It started out as a random idea, I liked how the sketch came out, so I colored it. Just for effect, I had "them" wearing Bakura's ring.

My Take:
I happened to notice a few things not only about this character, but most of this artist’s female characters, which slightly affected the way I re-drew this one. You can take a closer look at this one, and see how I added that observation in, as a gag, of course.

What I Like Most:
I’m usually not that great with hands, but I’m pretty happy with how her right hand came out. I had to stretch it a bit, but it came out much better than it would have had I not done so. How about how those Millennium items came out?

What I Dislike Most:
I think her hair came out fine here, but now that I look back on it, I still could have done more with it. Her eyes didn’t come out exactly the way I wanted, but they’re still ok nonetheless. I can’t really find too much more to gripe about.

Final Thoughts:
I’m glad I decided to re-draw this one, I think I’ve gotten much better since the my first effort, and even though I didn’t try to create a different background, I felt this simple one fit this drawing nicely.
