Description Hello everyone,

Goodness!  It's been a LOOOOOOOOOONG time hasn't it?!  Much too long!   And as always I truly must apologize for STILL being behind on messages...   Honestly, I don't know what more I can say....  Work has been extremely chaotic, especially with required overtime since this past March, (and with no indicator of that changing) and of course there is still much in my personal life that has left me with very little free time, much more than ever before.   I do feel awful though, and have all this time since I've been away....  I've been out of touch with even some of my very closest friends, and with the holidays approaching, I miss them even more now.  I miss all of you, in fact!   All I can say is that I'll try to do better, even if it's only one step at a time.  Please don't give up on me and know that I still think the world of all of you! alove:

As for this piece I'm submitting, this is one that I depicted for my very good friend Beth, who I met in Salem Massachusetts last year, (along with their equally kind fiancee Charles) when I attended the Bizarre, Bazaar that October.  They had noticed my Yu-Gi-Oh related artwork, and being fan themselves, we immediately began talking!  We kept in touch throughout the year, and even saw each other in Salem this year also, becoming even closer in the process.   They then asked me to depict Joey and Seto as a couple, given that these two are their favorite pairing from the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise.  They spoke at length about how much they adored them and how they saw their relationship develop in the series and what they imagined afterwards too.  Though I must admit that I still love Joey with Mai, myself, I wanted to be very sure to try and capture the love and devotion that my friend spoke so highly of when it came to these two.  I had suggested that the two should swap outfits in the work, as an indicator of their closeness.  Beth agreed, and also added that they should even switch neck pieces, especially given that Seto's is one of his most cherished possessions.  This image, in theory, could be years in the future as well; when the two have grown up, accepted one another and can be completely at ease in their presence. 

I hope you like it Beth!  It was fun depicting Yu-Gi-Oh art again after a very long hiatus!  Happy Holidays to you and everyone here!  If all goes well, I may even have a new holiday surprise to submit before the month is out!  Here's hoping at least!   Until next time then!

Lots of Love,

Yamigirl21

Violetshipping..and Seto's just too adorable in this. Also, Jou looks like a Yakuza-boss in this outfit; very sexy and dangerous, but still adorable

Heh, no worries! I'm not a fan of this pairing either, to be honest, but a friend of mine truly loves them so I created them image for her sake! Thanks for commenting, despite that!

I'm finally getting to this piece after so long!!

In my head it's so strange to see Joey and Kaiba together, but you've managed to pull it off in an incredibly cute and rather touching way that I could believe the romance in this picture. I love the way they're sitting together, the peaceful looks on their faces, and of course the swapping of clothes has always been a favorite trope of mine with couples The moment you've created feels like the aftermath of spending a romantic night together and now they just want to be close and have a quiet moment and be content in each others arms.
I feel like depicting emotions has always been one of your strongest talents in your artwork and here is no exception.

Fantastic job! And good job getting me to feel something for Joey and Kaiba as a couple

Aw, never EVER worry about any delays on commenting to me, my friend!  Again especially given how LONG it takes me to write back!   Heh, yeah....  It's hard for me to imagine Seto and Joey as a couple too, to be honest.  But my friend Beth ADORES them, so I thought I'd try to capture her love and enthusiasm for them in the work if at all possible.  Awwww..... You always flatter me with your thorough study of my works!   I hope you know that.  I'm glad you can feel the emotion in what I do, as that means the most to me whenever I write or draw!  And I hope you know hearing from you is *always* something I greatly look forward to!  I hope you know that regardless of my belated replys!  Seriously girl!  You're as awesome as ever!   Take care of yourself!

I've been a fan of your art for a LONG time, you always have the most beautiful, colorful, elaborate artwork! So it made me a very happy YGO fangirl to see you do a Seto/Jou fanart, I'm a big fan of the pairing I love the emotion you put here, how comfortable they are with each other. It's a sweet rendition of my YGO OTP, and it's going right in my favorites, lol. Great job, Yamigirl!

My goodness!  What a lovely comment!  I'm truly *truly* flattered dear!  I'm only sorry I couldn't reply sooner as I'm very behind here on DA!  I hope you can forgive me!   Heh, though I don't personally ship Jou and Seto, I know my friend who I was creating this work certainly does and I wanted to honor that love by giving this piece my best effort!  I'm so happy that you were able to enjoy it too!  Thank you again for commenting! And I wish you the absolute best!

It's wonderful to see this piece finished after the WIP shots you've been posting on your patron and I do hope that your friend likes it. I seriously admire how you've rendered the materials on this piece so much - the jeans that Kaiba's wearing, the leather of the sofa and the wood of the floor all look so real, almost like I'm looking at a photo! Admittedly I'm more for Jou & Mai as well, but I know that this ship is very popular, so I hope that fans of them will enjoy seeing these two together in your style. <3

Thanks again girl! I hope I can continue to show you the progress of these works on Patreon, as your support there means a lot to me!  I still worry that I don't work quickly enough for it to be worth it for you, so please know that if you ever decide that you wanted to  with draw that support, I completely understand!  You're so encouraging here on DA as is after all!  I feel that I'll never be able to repay you!  I do thank you though for absolutely everything!  I hope you're doing well and I'll try to be in touch soon!

Don't worry dear!  In truth, I'm not accepting commission right now anyway.  This was more of a gift for my friend for Christmas rather than anything, but if I do offer commissions again I'll be sure to mention it in a journal. I appreciate your interest though!  Thanks!   And take care!
