Hello and welcome back to another upload. I spent such a long time on this drawing. I think I spent over six hours or more creating this illustration today. It is now going on 2am where I am, and I'm uploading it here because why not?
The main theme of this illustration is to celebrate the New Years. To celebrate the beginning of 2021 and here's to hoping that it will be better than 2020. Because let's be real, 2020 was a very crappy year for a lot of us for a lot of reasons. I just want 2021 to be better and to bring about prosperity for all of us. We need a break after last year 2020. I, for one, would like to be able to back to school this next fall of 2021 to study graphic design. It was put on hold this past year because of COVID-19. Plus doing something like Graphic design would have been hard for me to do with online learning.

The characters featured in my drawing are Yuzu Hiragi, Anzu Mazaki/Tea Gardner, Ruri Kurosaki, and THief King Bakura. Ruri and Bakura are together because of my OTP of Birdcage shipping. This drawing takes place in an Alternate Universe where the Bracelet girls are all alive and living in Domino City. Yuzu and Anzu first meet at this ball, and they hit it off. Yuzu can't believe she found somebody with whom she had some much in common with. And Anzu can't believe she met a lovely girl like Yuzu. I have seen some fanart of these two together, and I thought they'd be a cute pairing. My name for this ship is either sapphire shipping because of their blue eyes or friendship bracelet shipping.
I was originally going to draw Yuzu with Serena. However, I wanted to try something different. So enjoy a rare pair of Anzu and Yuzu. Ruri is dressed up as Amulet Diamond from SHugo Chara. This was also inspired by a fanart where all the bracelet girls were dressed up as Amu's different amulet forms. Plus Ruri looks so cute with her hair in twin tails. I made her twintails look similar to that of Hatsune Miku. I also drew Yuzu's hair in a braid and I thought it turned out nice.
Overall, even though it took me awhile to create, I'm happy with how this artwork turned out. Please enjoy the art and have a Happy New Year. May 2021 be a better year for all of us, bring us a vaccine for COVID, and by this time next year, may all of us be socializing like "normal" again.
