You can answer this whenever, or never, if you don't want to! But can I ask for advice on how you come up with outfits? I saw the one with Nyan and Kariya's protest outfits not too mention the ones you come up with on your own.
They're all just so pleasing to the eye, and I need to know your secret!!! or tips or anything!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I guess all I can say is you gotta see a lot, save it to your memory, and know how to do some mix-match.

If you take a look at the Galery section in my commission info web, you'll see nothing I've done to the PCs comes even a bit close to what I actually design for commission or work. The style, I mean. So if you want to draw clothes or characters with simple but still pleasing designs, I think it's safe to say just do whatever you like. My PCs wear only black and white because I like those colors. Lyah wears glasses because I like men with glasses, he has his sleeves rolled up because I like men when they roll their shirt sleeves up. Lya's dress top is skimpy because I like to draw soft boobs spilling out of the hem of clothes. Kariya wears virgin killer because I like bare back and side boobs, etc... Do what you like most. Then you'll know how to make them pretty.
Or... if you want to be more complicated, let's say, hoyoverse or onmyouji or Square Enix level, even Love Nikki level of complicated, then you must really add as many things as possible to your image library. I don't know how to actually say this, it's hard to put into words, but just keep finding references and keep drawing.
Motifs and tropes are something to learn too. For how insect wings and flowers will make you think of fairy or natural, while clocks or gears remind you of steampunk.
How to make a female character look like a mommy? What kind of mommy are we talking about? The "ara ara" type? By making their figure look more round and plum, making their hair loose or more silky with a long dress and apron, and making them always have their palm to cup the side of their face, and tilt their head a little... Things like that. Sometimes stereotype is a good way to start your design game.
Or how to tell if a character is a young brat? Spiky hair, missing teeth with bandages here and there, maybe a tattoo or some piercings with sloppy clothes? Butttttt when you look closer they always have, maybe, some cute stickers on their belongings? Maybe because they have a lil sibling and they have a soft side for that sibling? Yeah, sneak in some easter egg here and there. It's fun when people notice an Easter egg and hopefully, that could lead to questions or discussion between your fans!

here's some potential prompts, if you're interested! 1. puzzleshipping + who confesses first and how? 2. wishshipping + atem cheering on yugi to talk to jou about his Feelings 3. post-dsod yugi being successful and happy
*kicks down a door*
ANON! You are getting all three!
1. 
Yugi looked at the intimidating door in front of him, the one that lead to his other self’s room. He inhaled deeply, then sighed. Okay, here goes… he had to do this, he couldn’t stop avoiding this.
Tonight was the night he was going to tell the Other Yugi his feelings!
He’s been trying to do so for two weeks now, but… sadly, Yugi kept chickening out or something distracted them. But not this time! No! They were in their soul rooms, there wasn’t going to be anyway to avoid this now!
Reaching out, he opened the door and stepped inside. Luckily for Yugi, Yami Yugi was in the main room, the one that the door opened to, sitting on the floor with a deck of playing cards. Oh, he was playing solitaire. “Other Me!” Yugi announced, trying not to be nervous.
“Yes? Is there something you need?” Yami Yugi asked, looking confused.
It was now or never… “I have something very important to tell you..!”
Yami Yugi blinked, raising an eyebrow. “Yes…?”
“I-I am in love with you…! And have been for a while and I want you as my boyfriend…!”
The silence that followed was… awkward, to say the least. Finally, Yami Yugi spoke. “Oh thank the gods, I was wondering when one of us was gonna say something!”
“What?”
“I mean, I thought there was something between us, and I knew that I had feelings for you, but I’ve been too nervous to ask! And I thought you still wanted Anzu!” The other Yugi laughed. “Phew! Sure, okay, we can be boyfriends!”
Yugi blinked before dropping to the floor, okay, wow, that was… not expected. “Uhh… great! Didn’t know you liked me back, but thanks?”
“Wonderful! Want to play poker with me, boyfriend?”
“Yes, but no cheating.”
2. 
“Pharaoh… I can’t do this…!” Yugi whined, heading to school. The spirit of the puzzle floated next to him, smirking.
“Oh come on, Aibou. I’m sure you can do this! Actually, I KNOW you can!” The spirit grinned, giving him a thumbs up. “Besides, it’s Jounouchi! I’m sure he’ll be fine with this!”
“But… what if he makes fun of me….!”
“Aibou, he makes fun of you for silly things, how is this different?”
Yugi sighed loudly. “Other Me, come on, this is a crush confession, and Jounouchi is… Jounouchi.”
“True.” Yami Yugi nodded before perking up. “There he is!” He pointed towards the blond who stood near a mailbox, waiting for Yugi. The boy blushed deeply, seeing Jounouchi wave at him once he noticed him. “Go on,” the spirit grinned, “talk to him! I’m right here for support!”
“You’re right here to watch this disaster…” Yugi grumbled before putting on a smile as he approached his best friend. “Good morning, Jounouchi.”
“Hey! Mornin’ Yugi!” The taller boy grinned, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. “Ready for another boring day of school?”
“I suppose.” Yugi nodded, trying to ignore Yami Yugi, who kept poking him in the back of the head, telling him to ‘just tell him everything’! The boy sighed, looking up at Jounouchi. “Hey, can I… tell you something?”
“Hm? Yeah, what is it?” Jounouchi asked, looking down at him.
“Jounouchi… uhh… how would you feel if someone liked you?”
Jounouchi blinked, giving this some thought, before a smile came to his face. “Well, I’d be a little startled, wondering what it was about me that they liked, then I’d get down like this,” He bent forward, getting close to Yugi’s face, “and ask the guy if he wanted to take me on a date. I’m free after class on Saturday, if you’re up for it.”
“W-what?! How did you…!”
“Oh come on, that question just screamed that you were gonna as me out! Also, the other you told me the last time I hung out with him!”
“WHAT?! Other Me…!”
“He let it slip by accident and tried to cover it up as him tripping over his own words!” Jounouchi laughed. “But seriously, I’m up for a date on Saturday. I heard of this new beef bowl place we can check out!”Yugi nodded, his face blushing as he inwardly lectured a laughing pharaoh.
3.
Stretching, Yugi yawned loudly. He glanced at his clock, seeing that it was almost eleven at night. Hm, he should get ready to bed, but these sketches needed to be finished.
He had a great idea to show to Kaiba and he couldn’t just show them to him unfinished! He looked down at the sketchbook in front of him, smiling at the designs he had been drawing.
He was coming up with a new extension for the Monster World game, that Kaiba Corp had bought up. Inspired by the designs that Ryou had done for the Egypt exhibit at the museum years ago, Yugi was designing ancient civilization boards and maps for the games ‘history’ extension.
He smiled softly, looking at the design of the pharaoh figure he had been making for the ancient Egypt map. It was obvious it was based on Atemu, a design he knew Kaiba would approve of, though act like he didn’t like it.
Five years have passed since the last time he dueled with the pharaoh, against the corrupted Diva. Sometimes he thinks of taking up Kaiba’s offers to go with him to the afterlife, to see Atemu, but… Yugi wasn’t ready yet. He wanted to wait, and he knew Atemu would be fine with that.
He glanced about his desk, seeing the photos on it. There was a picture of him and Anzu, in New York. They were ice skating during winter, at that famous rink in the city. It had been a surprise visit on Grandpa’s part, a Christmas gift for Yugi to visit her, she was doing so well, she was on Broadway now! A small theater, but still part of the area, moving her way to the top.
Another photo had Honda and Jounouchi in it, Yugi stuck awkwardly in the middle as the two made strange faces at the camera. Honda was doing well for himself, having finished school and was now working in a repair shop, he even got himself a wife! He married his old high school crush, Miho!
Jounouchi was now the third best duelist in the world, after himself and Kaiba, and was doing great for himself. He isn’t a joke anymore, a lot of people respect his luck and skills, his sister is so proud and so is Yugi.
There’s a picture of Kaiba and Yugi next to that photo, it was taken by Mama when Yugi’s first game design sold at the Kame Game Shop, now the first store in the world to sell Kaiba Corp games when they’re fresh off the market. Grandpa is very pleased with this. The photo had Yugi standing with the box for the game in his hands, Kaiba standing next to him. Over the past five years, they’ve become close friends, and Kaiba has Yugi as his main game designer and developer.
Yugi smiled at the three photos, his attention soon dropping on the fourth. It didn’t have him in the photo, it was a newspaper clipping of Atemu, at the end of Battle City. There weren’t a lot of photos of the pharaoh, but this was a nice picture, and Yugi just had to frame it.
Thinking of the pharaoh, he wondered if Atemu would be proud of him, and how well he was proud of him.
“Heh, of course he’s proud. He’s always proud of me.” Yugi smiled, deciding to just finish in the morning. He closed the sketchbook and turned off the lamp.
