Time for my breakdown of the four main characters for my WereKat AU! (Forewarning: This is going to be a long post and there will be a lot of images)
Throwing a tag to @resuri-art! You are the reason this AU appeared in my brain, therefor you must suffer the consequences! 😂
I'm going to start with Bakura, since he's kinda the most 'normal' out of the four (I use the word 'normal' very loosely)
(Click each image for better viewing)
Bakura is the only Human in the group. He's not like most Human's however, as he was found and raised by Naga when he was very young. He knows he obviously had a human family once, but he doesn't remember them.
His Naga family had to learn a lot when it came to raising a Human child ('They eat HOW many times EVERY DAY???'). Can you picture little Bakura trying his hardest to unhinge his jaw like his Naga sister, Dia, so he can eat a rat whole? He developed some rather unique eating habits due to this, which is how he first met Ryou.
Being that he's Human, walking into a butcher shop that specializes in Therian meats got him some very unpleasant looks. The proprietor wasn't very thrilled either, and was giving him a hard time. Cue Ryou's entrance.
Ryou is a Vampire (despite his very not-vampire aesthetic). But he's not just any Vampire, he's from one of the most highly respected Ancient lines: Necrophades. Despite his elevated status, he’s never felt like he belonged among Vampire society. He’s viewed as an outcast since he doesn’t share their hierarchical standpoint on things, but because of his status there is nothing the other Ancient lines can do about it.
Ryou doesn't follow the typical Vampire tradition of feeding off thralls, but instead prefers other, more ethical sources. His meeting with Bakura came about when he went to visit his regular butcher, who he pays well to save the blood of the animals he harvests.
Ryou found Bakura to be quite intriguing, and after some time the two began dating and moved in together.
Humans are notoriously monogamous, while the other races (due to their longer lifespans) are known for having polygamous relationships whenever it suits them. Being that Bakura was raised by Naga, his views when it comes to relationships is similar to Ryou's. Which is why he eventually found himself with not one, but two partners.
Say hello to the little spitball of energy and attitude that is Kat.
(Second image is to show off her markings when in her standard appearance)
Kat is a Felidae, which is a feline Therian (were-beast). She's pretty secretive about her background, only mentioning that she is the illegitimate offspring to a Kemati noble.
Bakura met her at the very popular casino/popular hotspot, Geal'drache, where she works as a cocktail waitress serving drinks to the patrons. She didn't treat him with the same disdain most people treat Humans with. They started talking, and as soon as he mentioned his boyfriend being into tabletop RPG's, her inner nerd flooded out.
No one really knows when it happened, but it started out with Kat coming over for campaign nights, to coming over to plot new campaigns, eventually staying the night on occasion because of how late she and Ryou stayed up plotting new nightmare mode campaigns, to her just suddenly living there. Somewhere along the way, Bakura acquired himself a Therian girlfriend. He's not really complaining. Everyone's cool with it, so why should he?
Then Ryou's old boyfriend, Amir, came back into the picture.
(Yay! Amir has markings too! He was my fave to design! His hair so floof!)
Amir is a Leona, which is a lion Therian. His brother, Marik, is the current King of the Kemati nation, and their older sister, Ishizu, is Marik's advisor to the crown. The three also have an older adopted Pantera (panther) sibling, Rishid, who is Marik's personal guard.
Long before Ryou met Bakura, he and Amir spent some time together as a secretive couple. Due to the politics involved in Amir's life, he couldn't be openly seen with Ryou. When Marik ascended the throne (due to a very unfortunate 'accident' that befell his father one night), Amir felt stuck between his duties and his secret lover. Ryou made the decision for him and told him if and when things changed, to come seek him out.
It's been ten years, but Amir hasn't forgotten what Ryou said...though, ten years isn't much when you live for centuries.
Amir found Ryou again, but was a bit shocked to see who he was now living with...and openly in a relationship with. He always knew Ryou to be a bit...eccentric...when it came to who he dated, but Amir never could have imagined Ryou with a Human.
Amir, like most everyone else, sees Humans as less than the dirt beneath his feet, and tolerates them simply because that was what one did. The idea of being in a relationship with one? Disgusting.
But, he hates the idea of losing the person he cares about most due to his own prejudices, so he simply tolerates Bakura's presence for Ryou's sake. The fact that same Human is also dating his childhood friend/devils advocate has nothing to do with it.
Seriously...his old flame and his childhood friend??? What's so special about that human?????
And there you have it! Four crazy people that are now living together and have their own weird relationships with one another!
Oh, bonus! Forgot to add that Therians like Amir and Kat have TOE BEANS (which is why their shoes are designed the way they are, so that not only is there room for toe claws, but also so there is room if they shift into a full beast).
(I cheated, because I can't draw feet any more than I can draw hands. Pinterest image that I used as a base trace here)
#ygo#long post#my art#werekat au#polyship#queerplatonic ship#ryou bakura#tkb#thief king bakura#my oc#yami marik#yami malik#yamima#i'm sure i've forgotten something#but that's all i can think of for now#feel free to ask questions!#i encourage it!

New WereKat AU character refs!
First up, we have Fae Yugi, a Seelie Prince!
Yugi doesn't really enjoy all of the pressure of his status. He doesn't feel he's anyone special just because of a title. He'd much rather just enjoy the little things in life, and not have to worry about all the trivialities of the Fae Courts.
Thankfully there's one Fae that is of a similar mindset, and helps him to sneak out into the lower levels of the city on occasion.
Meet Unseelie Atem, a noble and member of the Unseelie High Court!
Atem is devilishly free-spirited. Court? Boring. Tedious. Snore. The Geal’drache, most popular casino/hotspot in the city of Dominus? Fun! Exciting! Been kicked out by the Elven CEO, Kaiba, more times than he can count but it doesn't stop him from coming back!(Seriously though, despite their rivalry, he knows Kaiba enjoys having him around for the entertainment)
That's about all I have for these two. Not much, I know, but they are more plot movement characters than anything.
I just felt like drawing them and showing them off. I had to laugh when I first did Yugi's outfit, because it has strong Han Solo vibes lol.
#ygo#my art#werekat au#my au#yugi#atem#are they a ship?#i kinda want it to be an au people can look and make their own ships#with the exception of the main 4#for obvious reasons#though i wouldn't say it's entirely impossible#i this au polyamory is more common than monogomy#do with it what you will

Bakura's sister is Dia? As in Diabound?
Yes! Dia is loosely based off Diabound! I saw this in my inbox last night, and had already started a rough sketch of her prior, so I used it as an excuse to finish her up.
I had a hard time finding a naga ref that really popped out at me pose-wise, so I ended up using multiple refs and this is the end result.
Before anyone asks why no big snake-boobies: Snakes aren't mammals. They do not have mammary glands, meaning no snake-boobies. Deal with it.
Same with Dia's androgyny. Unless you are a snake expert, you are most likely not going to be able to tell male from female at first glance. I've carried that over with this AU's Naga, with distinctions not becoming more obvious until they become much older.
Just like real snakes this AU's Naga are cold-blooded, meaning on cooler nights Dia used Bakura as her own personal body heater lol

Working on WereKat AU and giving the villain roles to Marik and Zorc (Yami B). Marik is a King with a superiority complex and Zorc is just an asshole.
I think I need to do their designs next. This should be fun. I already have a few outfit refs that are fashionably King-worthy for Marik. For Zorc, I am going straight-up Zorkura in his aesthetic. Undecided if he'll have the horns and tail, but the stilettos are a must.
#werekat au#more brainstorming#still have act 5 to write up#and i'm thinking i'll need to draw amir and kat's new outfits for act 2#since they return to their homeland#bakura and ryou will get new outfits in act 3#i have so many characters i want to get the refs done for#but i'm trying to focus on the ones that will be more front and center#so far it's the main 4#yugi and atem#and then marik and zorc#send help#the brainrot is strong again

WereKat AU brainrot has returned with a vengeance. I've been working on the plot points.
The AU is divided into Acts, and each Act currently has 3 parts. I currently have 4 Acts plotted. I have an idea for Act 5, but I'm still on the fence about it.
I'll probably go with it purely for the self indulgence factor and for that 'happily ever after' moment. It will be needed after all the secrets, drama, political scheming, torture, and all around me-flavored angst.
#werekat au#brainrot hit#if anyone thought this au was going to be butterflies and rainbows#i have to ask#have you read anything i've written???

6 and 13 please. 🌷
6. Show us a bit of a WIP!
This is a rough bit that I started for WereKat AU. I haven't gotten too far with it. Too many other WiP's that require my attention atm
“In other news-”
*static*
“Today’s top stor-”
*static*
“-you may be entitled to a settlement if-”
*click*
Bakura closed his eyes and rested his head against the back of the sofa.
“Eight-hundred channels, and it’s all the same fucking shit,” he groaned.
The sound of the apartment door opening and slamming shut prompted him to lift his head.
He watched as the short girl tiredly marched across the room and face-planted across the sofa, her legs ending up across his lap.
“That kinda day, I take it?”
“Mmhmphf”
“Wanna vent?”
The cat ears that matched her midnight waves flattened, the tip of her equally dark tail flicked back and forth.
“Oh shit. That bad?”
13. What's a character or ship you haven't written/drawn yet but would like to some day?
While Deathshipping is hinted at in TKB 2nd chance fic, it's just a background thing. I actually have a WiP that it is the main focus, but it's more of a background WiP atm. I'm hoping to someday make it become more of a focused WiP. (I hope that counts as an answer)

WereKat AU is now an official AU that I have begun worldbuilding for. It's a weird mix of Hotel Transylvania meets Zootopia.

The results of hyperfixation on OC and an AU @resuri-art and I briefly talked about (I have no idea if this will ever result in anything more than an excuse to randomly draw Kat)
In the AU, TKB is a human who is dating Ryou, who is a Vampire, and Kat, who is a werecat. Ryou and Kat are just queerplatonic friends who happen to share a boyfriend.
I present WereKat
#my art#my oc#she has a tail too#but i cropped the image because i just wasn't having any luck with drawing bodies today#decided to focus on just the face#and her kitty ears#i love her lil hyperfocused expression#i tried doing some really rough sketches earlier of the three of them#but like i said#not having any luck with bodies today#i really want to draw the three of them on a sofa#where tkb is just chillin trying to play a game on his switch#while kat is demanding attention#and ryou is trying to butter him up for a little snack#and tkb just has this '...can i just play my game in peace for like...5 seconds???' look on his face

My dominant hand has been aching for several days now, but I really really wanted to work on WereKat AU Amir, because his base came out looking so pretty that I just needed to finish him. I still have so much shading to do, and the pain has spread downwards. I am determined to finish this before the end of the day though, because I am stubborn and brain says if I don't finish it today then all my ideas for him will just go *POOF*.
#random stuff#days like today just mean lots more breaks#and little bit by little bit it comes together#at least it's mostly color and shading that i'm working on#lineart would be super shaky if i tried to draw any atm#though his hair about killed me#i floofed his tail#and then had to floof his hair#he's so pretty 😭#i can't wait to finish him up and show him off

Your Werekat is so cute! You mentioned she's from an au. Can you tell me more about it?
OMG thanks Anon! I'm glad you like her!
I honestly don't have much on the AU. It was a small thing @resuri-art and I were joking around about one day in reference to something that had happened in our RP. I'd commented something about the similarities between Ryou and Bakura and said this:
Ryou Then: That's my cursed emotional support demon
Bakura Now: That's my fucked up emotional support girlfriend
To which Resuri replied this:
Ryou: This is my boyfriend Bakura, and this is Bakura's girlfriend Kat
Which then rotated in my brain afterwards while I did a few chores around the house and the end result was Vamp Ryou, Human TKB, and WerKat.
Bakura is dating both, but Kat and Ryou are just queerplatonic friends that come up with diabolical nightmare mode Monster World campaigns while Bakura is in the background reminding them that they are supposed to be writing a newbie-friendly campaign.
I honestly haven't gotten further than that lol. If I ever wrote anything fic-wise for these three, it would just be random one-shots that just show their day-to-day life together, similar to Resuri's Conspire fic Everything that can't be said in four panels (if you haven't read it yet, you totally should).

I AM CACKLING
JUST WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!! I ACTIVATE MY TRAP CARD
❤️ + 🤔 + 🌍
❤️Not a question, just a second kudos to send.
🥰
🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?
I have A LOT, but I want to finish longfic first (which has been kicking my ass lately). I guess right off the top of my head, probably Werekat AU. I have worldbuilding and character designs and that's about it.
🌍What tags or warnings will your / one of your wip(s) need if you intend to share it?
I'm gonna be honest, I don't think about tags until I'm ready to post. Thinking up tags, aside from the general characters/pairings, is usually the last step before posting to AO3.

Thanks to the anon question from yesterday, my brain is slowly piecing together WereKat AU. I really should be working on longfic instead, but WereKat won't stop rotating in the brain. Also, Yamima has been thrown into the mix...because fuck, I can't give Bakura two partners and not give Vamp Ryou a Werelion Mima.
#send help#i don't need another au rn#i still need to finish tkb 2nd chance#and get some more chapters done on longfic#but this au is looking to be so yummy#there's a potential for FORBIDDEN ROMANCE#🙀#please take this au away from me#i'm not to be trusted with it#i will throw it into a blender to make a smoothie to paint the walls with#if you've ever read me-flavored angst#you know the horrors i can inflict upon them#rambling in the tags

can i ask what you are hyperfixating on
Oh, absolutely!!! It's my WereKat AU!
So, the thing is...I am sucker for fantasy worldbuilding. Like, you have no idea how much I enjoy it. Especially when it's high fantasy with a modern twist like what this is turning into. I am like a kid in a build-a-bear mixing and matching and mashing things together to create this whole fantasy world that my slice-of-life AU takes place in lol
#answered asks#anon asks#i highly encourage asking me things#i enjoy it#almost as much as i enjoy worldbuilding lol
