HSR - Sunday Fan art + process wips

Full res of my latest fan art study with process wips! I've never done a statue study but I really love how mysterious and melancholy marble statues can be, and they're a great medium to draw characters as. I also want to do some for TGCF characters... and I can bring out my inner emo kid LOL...

Speedpaint of Zhongli

A little fan art of Zhongli, and I remembered to record my process!

TGCF: Mu Qing and Feng Xin

Some frustrating stuff happened in my personal life and so I wanted to draw characters brawling lol. What better pair for that than Mu Qing and Feng Xin from TGCF! I've included process steps of this drawing too. I think I need to explore this style more, it's very satisfying and fun to draw. Sketch, linework, then colour and greyscale versions.

Hualian illustration - full res + process gif

Full res of a Hualian painting I did! Plus process gif!I saw some hualian fan art on my feed the other day and felt inspired to draw hualian again. I haven't drawn fan art in sooo long

BLY - Maid Cafe Event

This is going to be relevant to the story later, but this is a photo of an event that Dr. Li Yun and his research team did a couple of years back during the start of a semester year to attract new students LOLYou can see Li Yun, Jiangwen, and Tanlin here. The other three... I made up randomly, but possibly may make an appearance later in the far future. We'll see!

Watercolour paintings, part 2/2

The other three paintings I'm submitting for Gallery Nucleus!I'm quite happy with how all of these turned out. The one with the birds flying across the sky originally did not have those birds. I was very dissatisfied with this one at first, because it looked so boring, but as I was wondering what to do, I saw from my window a whole city of crows suddenly flying across the sky.Inspiration h...

Watercolour paintings, part 1/2

So I got invited to partake in this year's Gallery Nucleus exhibition in Portland! I won't be going there in person but I have been working on the postcards for submission. These are three of six that I'm submitting. The theme is "Scenes from the West Coast".I was considering doing mermaids and more fantastical creatures that I've loved drawing since I was a kid, but I feel...

Li Yun character sketch

This is a working character sheet (lmao I should have done this at the start of the comic) but I've never thought about these specific details. These aren't concrete details, but right now I feel like these are fairly accurate to the Li Yun that I know. :D

Bailin kid sketch

I wanted to draw baby Bailin going to school with a big smile on his face for some reason

sneak peaks from Bailin and Li Yun

I can't post full chapters on patreon, but I can post teasers. Here are some out of context, but interesting, panels of some planned future chapters ;D After putting down that Fathoms of Atonement illustration gif for a week, I'm having a difficult time trying to pick it up again lmaoo i KNEW this would happen. I either finish something from the start, or if I put it down halfway, the chan...

TRATW - illustration

high res file - right click to download for wallpaper usage! And please do not share to people outside of patreon! At least, not this year.I had to put down my Fathoms of Atonement animation project for this illustration. I was requested to do an alternate book cover for the Italian publication of my comic, and this is the result! It looks pretty good I think??

FoA: illustration/animation wip

A very rough sketch animation of my next personal animation gif illustration!! I need to polish the animation a bit more but I think I got most of the skeleton done. I might need some more in betweens...So far my plan is to have them waltzing in an abandoned underwater ballroom (from like a sunken ship or something). With light streaming through from the broken glass ceiling and fish swimming here...

BLY - full res animated illustration

I DID IT!!! I'm never doing this again (probably)The grass movement isn't perfect but any more time spent on this is just diminishing returns, so I'll leave it here. I'm quite proud of it tho :) just a little taste of an alternate universe where my comic gets animated in the style of Ghibli :')These are extra long for anybody who wants to use these as wallpapers!

BLY third arc illustration - complete!

Hope you guys like the outcome! I think the focal points are pretty clear - Bailin and Li Yun have the most contrasting colours, and adding a slight atmosphere also cheats the focal point more towards them.I'm gonna slap on the title and stuff for when I release it on Webtoon in a couple weeks. This is a full res image file, so just right click and download if you'd like to use it!

BLY new header - wip

Hehe this drawing is coming along!! I spy some characters from my other comics in the bg 👀I should be posting the final product next wed! I think the biggest problem I need to solve with this image right now is that I need to make Bailin and Li Yun a clearer focal point. The BG characters are making things a little noisy. I think some clever placement of atmosphere and colour adjustments will f...

Bailin and Li Yun: new illustration

I'm going to draw a new cover art for my Bailin and Li Yun Webtoon! This marks the arc where Bailin has grown legs and the period where he's getting used to them. This is the rough draft for it. I'm going to need to hammer out the perspective and details later. Hopefully I can get it to linework stage next week...
