For my Yu-Gi-Oh Digital Pet keychains, I created designs for new pets based on some of my favorite characters that never got a digital pet in canon. While it’s pretty obvious that Ryou’s pet was based on “Change of Heart” and Yami Bakura’s pet was inspired by Diabound, I thought I’d break down the design for Yami Malik’s pet design in a little post.
In general, I wanted the new pet designs to resemble their “owner” characters to some degree in order to make them recognizable, but I didn’t want them to just be a “chibi” version of the character in question. While U2 is basically Yugi’s hair but alive, Peachy doesn’t look like Téa at all, and Joey’s Joe is very abstract!
For Yami Malik, specifically, I wanted a design that called back to his decapitation illusion in his duel against Mai as shown in the manga. My first idea was to make him pineapple-themed, actually! I thought it would be funny with his wild hair. My first attempt looked uncannily like Bonz, and my second resembled a character from Shaman King??
I started incorporating the black star that marks a special immortal digital pet into the design as a reference to the sennen eye that glows on his forehead. Soon enough I ended up at my final design, a golden bomb with a short fuse. It carries the symbolic representation of Yami Malik as a sort of time bomb ticking in the back of Malik’s mind, it looks a bit like a head lacking a body with the nub the fuse sticks out of, and it’s wildly destructive by nature.
As for Yami Malik’s “mind room”, I expected it would be something like a prison in the back of Malik’s mind. I had some inspiration from Homestuck, where a character is trapped on a desolate and barren planet near a black hole that will soon reach it. I based the black hole in the upper right on that awesome first photograph of the black hole that was all over the news earlier this year, as well as on a rendering of a black hole simulation.
I added in Ra’s Sphere Mode as a false sun, signifying Yami Malik’s pursuit of power and destruction. And the purple planet, far away but still always visible in the sky, is where I imagine Malik’s soul room to be.
And in the back, the pet breaks through the fourth wall to escape the impossible prison planet it was trapped in, just as the black hole starts ripping chunks out of it! He’s free now, so watch out!
Thanks to everyone who has been leaving nice comments on my designs and supporting them with purchases! Designing these little friends and their soul rooms has been a lot of fun!

3D Yugioh “Digital Pet” Acrylic Charms now on Etsy!
These little guys are based off the digital pet chapter of the early Yu-Gi-Oh! manga! Yes, the Tamagotchi ripoff chapter!
There were (tragically) only a few canon pets shown, so I designed new ones for characters that never got one! The backgrounds are based off what I thought their soul room might be like if they didn’t have a canon one already, because the floor of U2′s space actually matches the floor of Yugi’s soul room pretty well!
These 2″ keychains are “3D” because there is actually a gap between the electronic interface and digital pet, so you can peek in on them like Yugi does in the manga! (Who knows, there might even be secrets hidden beyond the edges!)
If you want a little Yu-Gi-Oh! / retro 90s electronics vibe in your life, check them out on Etsy! There’s limited stock, so get ‘em while they’re hot!
Super nice paint job! :0

Nice choices! Best of luck with your cosplay, it looks like it's coming along really well!
Beatiful 3dprinted pieces are in coming, by @vaguelygenius
There’s another huge sale going on at TeePublic right now!
Awfully bold of you to presume that Bill is a stranger to me...
Guess what? Full-size, gold-plated Millennium Rings are now available!
I’ve partnered with Custom Prototypes to offer them, since Shapeways can’t print gold-plated interlocking parts!
^^^ This one is stainless steel plated with 24K gold and it is BREATH-TAKING!!
If you want one of your own, shoot an email at [email protected] for a quote! Just keep in mind that something of this size and quality won’t be as affordable as a Shapeways plastic Ring!
I’m also working with Custom Prototypes to make a Millennium Puzzle! Shapeways does offer it in gold-plated steel, but check out the difference in quality:
^^^ That Millennium Puzzle is gold-plated steel from Shapeways! I think it’s pretty clear which one can actually send you to the Shadow Realm!
And check out some of Custom Prototypes’ other work:
They do all sorts of commissions too, and they’ll make a 3D-model if you don’t have one. You just need to email them some pics and they’ll do the rest!
If you’re interested in commissioning a gold-plated Millennium Item or any other prop, just email them at [email protected] for a quote!
All of the Millennium Items will still be available on Shapeways but this is an awesome option for higher quality, even more realistic Items! :D
I'm continuing my commitment to genocide-free Millennium Items, so the answer is zero, but you'd never believe it when you see them in person!

HOORAY! I finally got a Millennium Ring thanks to @vaguelygenius and their shop HERE! :D
The details are so amazing, and can’t believe how light it is (perfect for wearing as a necklace and when I cosplay Ryou)! I can not wait to start spray painting it gold, and I am so happy to have it in my collection - thank you again!
surprise, fellow kids. I bet you thought you’d seen the last of vaguelygenius
A possessed snow bunny appeared! Millennium Ring by @vaguelygenius.

The one who dragged me into the Kaiba Ship+
The Blue Eyes White Dragon is actually white.
The blue we see is the structural/iridescent blue coloration of her scales.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk!
Where did they go??
We're gonna have to put a missing ad on those Kaiba Corp milk cartons, lads...

An excellent Ryou!! I hope you had a blast at the con, even if everyone thought you were your own evil twin!
(((Well, here is my Spell Checker’s cosplay of myself (Ryou Bakura). Featuring the Millennium Ring 3D printed by @vaguelygenius and painted by me following their wonderful directions. I am sorta okay with the wig. I prefer @distracteddream cosplay wig but it’s still sold out. One problem was that everyone thought I was YAMI BAKURA!!!! Bugger all. Look at the bags under my eyes. I have no batwings in my hair. There isn’t tons of eyeliner. Whatever, everyone said I reminded me of their childhood, asked how many Millennium Items I’ve stolen so far and offered my their souls. As Ryou Bakura, I just wanted someone to go get a pizza with.)))
