I'm super happy to present another episode of Heart of Stone which has been the toughest to bring to life. I had to rewrite it around 6 times and partially or entirely redraw the pages twice. I think the most challenging aspect has been making characters say all I had in mind without diluting the pace too much - I'm happy with the 6 pages I settled with!
...and super excited to draw more! We're getting to the point I've been wanting to illustrate for MONTHS and I can't wait to draw more!! In order to make sure the ending of this part does work with the following episode, I ended up drafting it as well so it shouldn't be long before I draw it! I just want to draw a nsfw comic first, then I'll likely come back to my precioussss ๐

As I mentioned before, I had to redraw some of the pages, I thought it was fun to share a couple of the previous versions that I saved:
EX PAGE 2, Neuvillette and Zhongli talking while walking away from the scene of the accident, except Zhongli is rambling about his Good Old Times. I liked Zhongli reminiscing the past but I felt like Zhongli would question Neuvillette's choice of leaving soon to better understand the current society instead of simply obeying and moving on with a random convo.
EX PAGE 3, Neuvillette walking back to the scene of the accident, but he's a bit too bossy and Zhongli being sarcastic about it didn't match the vibe I wanted for this episode.

A big thank you to Kee for beta-reading this episode and patiently explaining me the meaning of some words so I could understand how to improve ๐๐๐
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CHAPTER!!

Clarice
Also have to laugh at the idea of Neuvillette coming back to this like I WAS GONE FOR FIVE MINUTES??? AND YOU FOUND YOUR SOULMATE ON THE *STREET*??? (...especially if he's been tirelessly searching for his own soul mate for hundreds of years or something)
Els
the look of shock on zl got me like ๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน bro is BABESTRUCK by his old babygurl omg ๐๐๐
KiraShion
You know those situations in which emotions are TOO MUCH so you just.... freeze while exploding inside? Zhongli's probably going through that :') poor man can't believe his eyes ๐
KiraShion
Aah I'm happy this is bringing hype back ๐ญ๐ญ๐ It doesn't matter what's the latest version update, HoS is what always gets me going too ๐ฅบ
KiraShion
Let's just say that if I came across those two gentlemen... I'd love to be sandwiched ๐ฅต๐ฅต
KiraShion
OH I'M KINDA CURIOUS haha Baizhu's type of encounter is definitely one of a kind :')
KiraShion
I always have to force myself to stop at some point or all I draw is HoS forever ๐ญ๐งก
KiraShion
Oooh yes the confrontation between Zhongli and Neuvillette will happen (at least, I've planned it) ๐ It seems you know me well haha ๐ a lot is still bound to happen but the fact they've already crossed paths is the first step ๐ฅบ๐คฒ Im so happy you like this comic!!! Can't wait to draw more!
Disong
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
KiraShion
I love him being absolutely clueless when once he knew it all, makes him kinda cute ๐งก I really can't wait to show you moreee!!
Solas

crump
giggling kicking my feet reading this (cant wait to see pookie baizhu in all his glory) ๐
Clarice
Also while Zhongli is himself SO attractive in his modern get up, I just can't stop STARING at Neuvillette, he's so beautiful and self assured in this strange new world, I love it.
Clarice
As a pharmacist I've had many a wild conversation with someone loitering outside as I open or close, but Baizhu's encounter here is going to be EPIC ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

aaaaAAAAAHHHHHHH I've been waiting for this reveal! Can't wait for Neuvillette to get back and be like "I left you alone for 3 minutes. You had ONE job." ๐๐๐ I love this comic so much, I love Reincarnation AUs(when I don't hate them bc they ripped my heart out. Y'know.) and I can't wait for the soft and goopy bc I don't believe ur gonna just let them be sad(even if they have to work for it lol).

Literally jumped when I saw the notification ๐ Honestly it's kinda funny how zhongli has no clue about anything in modern society. And the ending is also awesome I can't wait to find out how he reacts to seeing baizhu reincarnated. ๐ฅฐ
