"It's my eye, isn't it?" Hfskhdskfhdj

True true

"I spent so long in the darkness, I'd almost forgotten how beautiful moonlight is"

XL as Emily?? Coffin rescue??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm but HC is already undead so he fits Emily better

This is still very much tracing practice just to get used to the motions and tools, but I very much appreciate it ! This is the photo I used :)

It doesn't work unless i somehow make them immediately in love with each other which defeats the entire movie

Trying to make the Corpse Bride: HuaLian Edition in my mind

Me tooooo this pen is very sexy

Working on line confidence (and testing out a new pen)

Time to rebuilt Puqi Shrine

Hmmmmmm, curious, does HC ever break away from the group he started working with? He would still need someone to pose/tie him But ,,,, I feel like XL would rather pay/make requests to HC directly? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

They have their big pretty political wedding and go their separate ways that night. I'm not sure just how well HC and XL are acquainted at this point though? I know they've at least met Outside of the castle by this point? @spffnity.bsky.social

Neither him nor SQX *want* to be married, but it's advantageous politically and they get along very well as friends so it was sort of a :shrug: "why not?" kind of thing. (SQX is Very fond of the castle's Head Cook herself, and has separate rooms from XL anyways)

I don't think we ever explained the "Crown Prince's Wedding Night" title for this one but

[Cw?: Infidelity (sorta, and not between HuaLian)]

XL on his wedding night to SQX getting back to his room in his wedding robes and seeing his Specially Requested Art there and just going to town 💕

NEVER STOP BEING A HATER

i just don’t get why some people are in the teacher and age gap fetish fandom when they find it abhorrent 😭😭

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

Hua Cheng suspended from the ceiling in shibari, hands tied high above his head, one foot tied up underneath him. The other leg is not tied, and hangs loose, not quite touching the ground. He has many facial piercings: snakebites, nostril piercings with a chain across the nose, a Medusa, a labret. His bellybutton is also pierced, along with four hip dermals on each side, little decorative chains between them. Temporary corset piercings run along the underside of his arms and along his thighs, and his nipples are pierced with butterfly shaped jewelry with a chain connecting them. His toenails have black polish on them, his hair is loose and down, and he has a black blindfold on.

[NSFW, rope bondage, shibari, piercings]

Thinking about the rope bunny HC AU again

Hey, friendly reminder that this account is pro-palestine so if you're an is(not)real apologist kindly fuck off because I don't want you interacting with me

(conversation screenshot between Deb and Knife) Deb: hualian meeting at one of these [kink convention, reply to an earlier message] xl dragged along by sqx, doesnt havr a single piercing himself Knife: Oh my god hc who is only doing this for hx because they have a back and forth two broke assholes worsties relationship thats paid in odd jobs not money

Knife: His fucking performer name is Crimson Rain Deb: he and hx both do tattoos and piercings and are saving up for a proper shop. rn theyre a bit. sketch. working out of theit apartmrnt ITS CLEAN AND LIKE REALLY GOOD BUT not properly vetted yet maybe Knife: (I've gotten tattooed in a storage unit building so like ,,, I get it) (PERFECTLY NICE SETUP) Deb: they take the utmost care of whoever they are working on but it can see REALLY SUS xl @ wow! i lived in one of these once! hc, choking @ GEGE DID WHAT

Knife: Technically you kind of could hekdhdjdjdjdh This specific convention is a tattoo/piercing convention, but like, the After Dark hours This isnt really XLs scene but he dabbles in rope suspension/traditional shibari so he's drawn towards this platform where he sees someone rigged up across the room (HC is blindfolded so he doesn't have to look at HXs stupid face the whole time hdksjddj) Deb: hc @ im gonna take a fuckin nap do NOT take this blindfold off hx, moving his hand, imitating hcs voice: dO nOt TaKe ThIs BlInDfOlD oFf -- fine then, dehydrate up there i dont care Knife: XL, seeing the World's Most Beautiful Man on a suspension rig with this grumpy looking artist doing a corset piercing on his thigh: [Xie Lian starry eyed emoji]

Deb: calamitys kink convention: the rowdy, raunchy, best sleep hcs ever gotten in suspension convention Knife: The real question is how do they start talking XL staying until after the demonstration to watch HC groggily pull off the blindfold and Deb: xl notices a misstied knot or that hcs skin looks irritated because something is too tight and brings it up to hx who says "im not waking that dick up to fix it, but u can, good luck" xl doesnt know the ettiquette here at all

Ok AU time hehehehe this was SUPPOSED to be for the Living Art Flutterhua AU... But I didn't want to draw the wing tattoos dhjsdhsj so we came up with Something New :)

Oh no an untagged coffin au post has breached containment 😭

"He no longer believed in anyone, especially himself."

Just tear my heart out and stomp on it while you're at it

Coffin AU XL watching a groggy half asleep HC get ready for work and he just starts giggling and sits up and beckons him over because "San Lang, you put your jacket on backwards.." and helps him fix it with a fond smile and a pat on the back

Sometimes I think about my own AU and feel myself going insane

Chewing on this conversation like a dog with a kong toy

🌸You are my spring🌸
