#atem x bast
So…someone who drew me a lovely Atem/Bast pic mentioned about a wedding, and I figured…you know what, I should draw up a wedding pic for these two. I decided on their ancient Egypt one. Cause these two have a couple of weddings. One here of course. And another is when they are in modern times as well as have their own bodies. Their second wedding is more like renewing their vows and becoming official in the modern era. For this, I looked up about weddings in Egypt, and there isn’t exactly much that goes on with it. But considering Atem is the prince and heir to the throne, there will be a celebration. I also decided that what he wears is the outfit he is seen wearing for a brief moment in the flashbacks. I also decided to have Bast wear something different as well. I have to admit, I really do like how this came out. Having people love my characters always inspires me to keep going. :3 So thank you all!
I honestly needed to draw these two when they were younger. Since I posted them being babies, why not draw them as children next. For them, they have been close friends since they met when they were babies. Atem took it upon himself to always look after Bast since she was born weak. Luckily, she managed to survive and continue to grow into a pretty little girl. It’s not doubt that she will one day become a very beautiful young woman. Nubit also made sure to teach and train her daughter to be a proper lady. But don’t worry, Nubit isn’t harsh on her daughter. She’s strict but she means well. Plus she is always willing to listen to Bast if she wants to do something. It’s why Bast enjoys spending time with Atem (and Mana as well) since she can be around them. Atem loves spending time with Bast since she sees him as a person and not a prince. I did use a ref off of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time picture to get their poses down. They came out so adorable. :3 Next up is probably going to be their wedding picture. XD
When she opened her eyes, he was the first thing she saw. And he was the first one to see her smile despite how weak and fragile she was from birth. And despite not knowing why, Atem decided to always be there for Bast. I have always wanted to draw these two as babies. They’re both so cute. T-T And yes, this is where they first meet. I decided that when Bast was born, she was born very weak. To the point the medics of Egypt were convinced she would die very soon. This would certainly devistate Nubit since she had already lost her husband. The baby she had would be the only thing to have her remember her husband by. But thankfully, she manages to get through. Thus, Nubit names her Bast, after the Egyptian Goddess. And Atem plays a big role of Bast not dying. Something about how they saw each other seemed to click, even though they were just babies. Atem is only over nine months older than Bast. He would take it upon himself to always help her. Gah! I love these two so much! Next up is going to be them as kids. :3 enjoy!
Sometimes, even when a sketch didn’t come out so well, coloring it manages to fix it. And I am also glad to keep drawing these two. Anyway, yes, I think it’s pretty obvious what is going on here. The spirits of the Puzzle and Wand spend the entire day together. Makes sense because Yugi figured Yami Catzi would be able to help Yami Yugi out of his gloom. Catzi agrees to this plan as well. This date will certainly help with the relationship between the two, especially with their forgotten memories and love starts to surface somewhat. Again, one thing I love about this is having these two fall in love all over again. Atem doesn’t know why he wants to protect Bast, but if anyone tries to either threaten or flirt with her, you bet your ass he will step in to protect her. He certainly shows that when Johnny Steps tries to put the moves on her. Bast can dance, though she isn’t as good at it as Tea, she did use to dance back in ancient Egypt. Also, this episode would be where Yami Catzi actually finally learns her real name. But her poor husband doesn’t. So he’s still stuck as Yami. How would they react to seeing they were married to each other back then? Shocked, but try to go through with it. It’s pretty much a start to their relationship.
Two nitpicks I have with this…I drew Yami’s second belt on the wrong side and I forgot to include the bag Yami Catzi was carrying with her. But oh well…I STILL HATE DRAWING AND COLORING CHAINS!!! other than that, I do like how this came out. And yes, I finally actually drew a background and it came out just fine! I am shocked!!! Of course I did make sure to look into the scene so I know. But hey, take what I can get!
“Bast, I may not make it out of here alive. If I don’t, I want you to run away.”
“No, I am not leaving you.”
“But–”
“Do you honestly think I would just leave you behind? Forget it, I am staying with you. I made a vow to always be your side, no matter the circumstances.”
“But Bast, if you stay…there is a chance you’ll die.”
“I don’t care. I rather die by your side than to keep on living without you. I will help you seal away the evil.”
“Even if I manage to succeed, if you stay, not only will our souls be sealed away, but both our memories of each other will be wiped. We will become strangers…”
“I believe that no matter what happens, regardless if we will lose our memories, our love will be strong enough to bring us back to each other. I believe in you, Atem. I love you.”
“…I love you, Bast. Thank you.”
I feel bad for having to neglect these two sometimes, because I really do love them. Developing Bast as well as her relationship with Atem has made me love these two so much. I can honestly feel their love for each other. Even when their memories of each other have been wiped away, their love is still there. It just has to be reawakened. By the time the series ends, with their memories back, their love is much stronger than ever before. Having them to go through so much and realizing how much they meant to each other as well as their friends, it can really tug at your heart strings. I feel the reason I haven’t drawn them enough is because I haven’t been getting any good ideas of drawing them. I tend to get artist block almost as much as writer’s block, and it’s freaking annoying. Oh well, I am glad to least draw them here and now.
I’m sure you all know what this scene is. There are going to be some major differences for this season that I have plan for sure when I get to it. It’s pretty obvious by now that Bast is going to be there instead of Tea. But it would make more sense because Catzi’s soul has been taken along with Yugi’s. Also, this will focus more on these two relationship. I will say this as a bit of a spoiler…Atem does end up putting his relationship with Bast in jeporady. What do I mean? He ends up yelling at her and blaming her that Yugi and Catzi’s souls were taken, even though it was his fault. I know. It sounds harsh but hey, it’s honestly to also show that these two are still human even if they are spirits. And the fact their relationship is not perfect in anyway. Not to mention, Atem is hurting big time. I can see him being the type to lash out if he is feeling stressed or having a close friend being taken away due to his mistakes. Eventually, he and Bast will make up. Aah I feel so bad for these two. T-T

I really should draw these two more in their ancient Egyptian selves. The issue is, having to draw ALL that gold and jewelry, and they can be a pain to color as well. XD But alas, I do like of how this came out. Sometimes, it takes time and patience to be able to make pictures like this. Also, yes, I think I am going to have Atem with red eyes from now on. While I do love his violet eyes, I feel like red suits him more. It honestly makes him a little more unique. Same thing with Bast having more of a blue aqua hair color. So yeah, that is all I have to share on this. ^-^

So a friend of mine thought of this idea of Atem raising Yugi, and I liked the idea lol so in this Atem and Bast took in baby Yugi and Catzi. The story behind this…Zorc is back and he tries to wipe out the ones who will help take him down. In other words, he targets Yugi, Catzi as well as Ryou when they were babies. It’s why they still look pale. He tries to get Thief King Bakura to kill them, but he draws the line on killing children. Thus he ends up sending baby Yugi and Catzi to the palace while he is stuck taking care of baby Ryou. Atem and Bast are recently married and find the two babies by the Nile. A little off putting that the two infants almost look like them, they decide to take them in. And throughout the time, they grow attach to the sweet children to the point they are willing to raise them as their own. So there you have it. This is such a cute pic. CX I really like how I draw baby Yugi and Catzi. hehehehehehehe :3
They want to know more about their past, but it’s still just a blur… Right now, Atem and Bast are in Bast’s soul room. Hers is very large to reflect her being an Egyptian Queen, but it’s not complicated and twisted like Atem’s. pffffff she would also have images everywhere that reflect her memories. The heart you see symbolizes her having been married to Atem years ago. Half of the heart has her real name and the other is of her husband’s. It’s darken out because she has no idea what his name is. If you’re wondering how Atem is able to be there, my friend Shiroi and I have a theory. We believe the Puzzle can let Atem see what he desires. For this, he would wish to see Bast, and the Puzzle would allow him to visit her. And this really comes in handy if Yugi and Catzi are asleep. They would have no issue allowing the Pharaoh and his Queen to see each other. But for this, it’s different. They can talk with no one bothering them. Which is why you see the above. Let me say this…I have been wanting to write up a one shot of these two for a long time. I mean, I feel so bad that I never was able to. Reason? I just…couldn’t think of any ideas for them. I know, it’s stupid. But I finally thought of one. The link is here: https://www.quotev.com/story/12784670/Yu-Gi-Oh-One-Shots/4
Until then, that is all.
Drawing poses be like waaaaaat? Anyhoo, another Atem/Bast pic. Yeah again, I can’t get enough of these two. I also figured it would be perfect for Atem’s birthday on July 27th. And yes, I do believe it’s July 27th. I have seen people claim it’s June 2nd and I never thought that was right. Luckily someone did do some research and have figured that July 27 is the correct date for him. Plus I always feel the only reason people were trying to claim it’s June 2nd is because they wanted him to be in the same month as Yugi. Nah fam, I always believed it was July 27th. He’s a Leo for sure. XD Anyway, I have been drawing a lot of these two lovebirds lately. I should really also focus on my other OTPs since I love them just as much. But until then…Happy Birthday Pharaoh Atem. :3
Ya know, there are times I can’t stop drawing these two. I love them so freaking much. To me, I will always believe that these two are a real thing and no one can convince me otherwise. T-T I saw a poster of Atem in that pose that I had to draw it too and have his queen right beside him. Also one thing to note…I can never imagine Atem being super muscular. I have seen some fanart having him super buff and it just…it doesn’t feel right. To me, I think he’s more lean muscular. And I feel that makes him way more hot than having him look like some over stuffed couch. Aaaaah these two are so gorgeous… Also happy early 4th of July lmao
AHHH! One of my best pics of these two yet! :D Sometimes I do feel proud of how well my art comes out and for this, I am really happy. :3 Bast looks beautiful and Atem is looking mighty fine himself. Hehehehehehe plus them arms yo. I really like how I drew them. :3 This is certainly one of my favorite pics of these two. And hopefully it won’t be the last.
