First of all, I don't even like Chobits, but this opening is too cute.
I'm not sure what to make of this, but it amused me.
I might actually need to watch this anime someday.
This is the Soul Eater OP some of my youtube commentors have asked about.
And this is also something else that amused me.

Featured Site: Astau/Kirara
This artist has different names on pixiv and deviantart so I'll just refer to them as Kirara from their website name. First of all, the artist's depiction of Yugi is freaking gorgeous. This artist also supports Rivalshipping which I have to admit can be a very cute shipping when done well. Just like the previous post, this artist's work has been featured in many of my videos and they will be given a full review shortly. For now, I'll just leave this here. >w>

Featured Site: Nudick
Article review coming soon. A lot of this artist's works have been featured in my fansrt videos.

Also check out their pixiv if you get the chance. http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=699387
Site contains beautiful pics of all the characters, including the ancient Egyptian ones. Most noteably this artist has fantastic works depicting the three legendary knights from the Doma Arch (Timaeus, Critias, and Hermos). Edit: The first site requires a password for you to enter. It asks for the height difference between the rivals. Kaiba is 186 cm and Yugi is 155 cm. So the difference is 33, and so 33 is your password. =)

Da Ya Think Yugi, Yami, and Atem are Sexy?
If you didn't before, you probably do now. =)
Song: Da Ya Think I'm Sexy
None of the fanart is by me. All works are from tegaki blog, pixiv, and deviantart.

BC - Colorful
Introducing one of my all time favorite sites, BC, or as I call it, Colorful!

Now this site is a little old and not all of the buttons work, but the best part about it, the Yu-Gi-Oh! gallery is still alive and kicking. Trust me when I say kicking because the art is kick-ass.

Like most artists featured here, this one draws Yugi and the gang with a distinct style. If we looked at Yugi specifically, you will notice the bangs are drawn a little blocky and with simplicity. They're a little shorter and his eyes aren't drawn as big as they would normally be. The white in his eyes isn't as apparent, but we still get the child-like vibe from him nevertheless so the character's traits aren't really changed in any way.
There is some implied yaoi in this site where the some of the characters are holding each other in suggestive embraces or in one example, Priest Set is just holding up Yugi who is clad in Egyptian garb and grinning up at him suggestively. There's nothing too frightening here if you're not into that kind of thing but I would still give them a look because as I mentioned, all of the artwork is superb.
For future reference, I want to take a moment to explain a sort of fan character that is prevelant in many sites with Puzzleshipping or Blindshipping. This character's name is generally referred to as Heba (Game in Ancient Egyptian) and is basically the Ancient Egyptian form of Yugi. Many sites have different names for him but I digress. Now there are many different origin stories for the fanmade Heba, but it is basically the answer used to explain Yugi Mutou's existence. Now it is implied that Yugi is supposed to be the reincarnation of Atem and that's why he's the chosen vessel to hold him. But many argue that this can't be the case because if Atem's soul was in the puzzle, there'd be no way he'd be reincarnated. So others argue that Yugi must be the light half and the dark half be in the puzzle. But this can't be right either since they are obviously two different people. So the last explanation is that Yugi might be a descendant of Atem's...which is also kind of unlikely since Atem died at the ripe old age of...15 or 16. I mean if you deeply consider the possibility of him having an heir, it's not uncommon for that to happen in his time period but it seems unlikely based on his actual character. Now since Priest Set (Seth, Seto, whichever) survived and was his cousin, there's a chance that Yugi's genes came from there, but again unlikely since I doubt awesome pink hair and blond strands came from Atem's dad's side of the family but I could be wrong. ANYWAY, the fourth idea the fans came up with is that Yugi had a previous life in ancient Egypt too and they called him Heba. Heba is a nifty way for the fans to ship Atem with Yugi without actually using Yugi. So when you see Yugi with a tan and dressed in Egyptian attire, I'm going to be referring to that person as Heba so as not to confuse anybody with actual Yugi. Coolies? Alrighty, moving on.
Colorful hasn't updated in a loooong time. In fact, the diary on the main page isn't even functional anymore which is usually a bad sign. To make navigation easier, I simply linked to the gallery page. Now there are squares on the right and a Yu-Gi-Oh! link towards the top. The squares list the old diary logs and are full of great little pics. If you click on the Yu-Gi-Oh! link at the top, the other big works are listed on the right. So be sure to click both sections for some awesome pieces.
This site is perfect for the softcore puzzleshippers and blindshippers out there. There is a lot of Yugi and Yami/Atem art to behold and not all of it is that fluffy. Some of it is just the two of them hanging out and portrays their special friendship really well. Even if the site hasn't updated in what feels like forever, the artworks like the one I listed above are practically iconic and have inspired many other works in their wake. So give them a lookover and maybe you'll be inspired too.
Navigation: 10/10
Easy icons to click on and everything is clearly labeled.
Art: 10/10
Great timeless pieces. They're a real treat to look through.
Content: 9/10
There is a lot to look through but point deducted from lack of updates in the past couple of years.
Overall Score: 9.5/10

Updates
I'm so sorry I haven't been keeping this updated recently but I didn't think I had any readers. After seeing your kind comments, I have decided to continue with this blog.
I've noticed a lot of broken links and I'll do my best to fix them but sometimes fanart sites just go away and there's nothing I can do about that. However I admit some of the broken links is just a lack of maintenance on my part so I will do my best to get all of those up and running for you.
Hope to have more of you reading soon. I have a huge list of fanart sites that I would like to get reviewing, all from the beautiful to just plain whacky so it should be a lot of fun. Meanwhile, enjoy the downloads and stuff. =D
