Day 1 Of Drawing One Fanart Per Chapter Of „Shroud Me In All Your Kindness“ On Ao3 Until A New Chapter

Hello, Zexal fans! Zexal Month 2024 is just around the corner and, for this year, we're doing the ABCs of Zexal! That's right, this year, our prompts are just based on the letters of the alphabet. Feel free to just use the titles (like A is for Astral) as the prompt or look at the following text for ideas. We can’t wait to see what art/writing/edits/cosplay/etc you produce for us!

Here’s a Sketch I did some Time ago.

Because Omg, I am sooooo obsessed with Riddle having Long hair when he is older. 🥰🥰😍

I‘m only at Book 6, so I don‘t know if Riddle‘s white hair will change back, but I‘d love if he kept it, so he‘d have one thing less connecting him to his mother birthgiver. And I think he Looks very handsome with it 😌🥰

My cuties ever i love them so much!!

Their relationship is kind of one sided because we all know bakura isn’t very much interested in dating/going out with anyone 🩷💙

“Does anyone else here dare challenge the might of the Supreme King?”

Silence. His monsters, not yet dismissed back to their cards, stand intimidatingly over the crowd. Based on his commanders’ reports, there are no others here with the power to summon forth spirits from another dimension other than the singular duelist. And while with a few more years she could have almost been a challenge, she is far from such now.

One man bows. Then a woman after him. More follow, until the entire square has shown deference to their ruler.

~ ~ ~

As a child, Judai ran away from home before his memories were ever wiped and reunited with Yubel in Professor Cobra's care. He promised to never let anything separate them again, and spent his teen years in America as Cobra's second son.

Now in his final year of school, Judai returns to Japan to visit Duel Academia as the West campus's champion. He's got plans to have a good time and help his father make a statement at the central campus with the Disclosure Duel system, but he doesn't know that his spirit partner, still corrupted by the Light of Destruction, has plans of their own - and that several other people's agendas involve him and Yubel, too.

The two partners must let go of old illusions before they can look at each other with clear eyes and meet on the same page.

@zexalmonth Day 6 D-Duel

(I didn’t draw for today because I could never top this peace of art)

My favourite Duel in the Series by far is Vector vs. Durbe and Merag

Because

1. Vector‘s Expressions and lines are the best as always

2. We get a cool magical girl transformation for Merag

3. We get to see Merag‘s and Nasch‘s Bond with Durbe a bit more! Because this is one of the only time we have seen such raw Emotion on them! When Durbe sacrificed himself we saw the heartbreak in their eyes Like Nasch‘s Reaction is just pure fuel for my Tomoshipping Fire

4. And of course the heartbreaking farewell of the twins

I just love this duel, because we see so much emotion from Nasch and Merag, NOT Ryouga and Rio!

They are fighting for Barian World and are shedding tears, when their longest and most loyal friend Durbe dies, which tells us so much about their bond BEFORE their time as Rio and Ryouga

And that’s exactly what I want!

Give me more Infos about their Relationship with the other Barians!

Little Edit I did, because Soulshipping, my beloved.

Also because my Insomnia is kicking in-

We got robbed in season 4

It’s Sonadow, but as Yugioh fr

AYO IT‘S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY AND LOOK AT THIS AWESOME ART @oya-oya-okay DREW FOR ME! 😭😭💕💕

@zexalmonth Day 7 E-Enemy

I just HAD to do Vector for Enemy

Love him. Best Antagonist for me by FAR.

And I love that, he was a child born for peace, but became a being of war.

If I had 2 Nickels every times I saw a character like that, I‘d have 2 Nickels which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened twice
