The Key lies in the Cards
An older commission I did of Akiza, from the YuGiOh 5D series, with some minor adjustments/additions I've recently made.
I really like the unity of color in this piece. I thought about putting in some more props/detail to the background, but I didn't want to make things overly complicated. That, and I have several other projects I need to bring my attention to.
The card she is using to jimmy the door open with was originally the "Black Rose Dragon," but the commissioner requested I use a different card for this newer version, the "Stardust Dragon." I don't keep up with the game/series much, but maybe some people will see the significance.
