A portrait of a Pandaren (Taran Zhu) in a painterly 2.5D style. Taran Zhu is wearing a traditional-inspired meditation robe and a scarf )with a Shado-Pan insignia) in addition to his usual hat. The painterly background depicts Kun-Lai mountains and part of the Shado-Pan Monastery.

Hi, hi! Hello, Sir!

(Very late sneak-peek. I learned how to modify/redraw the lineart modifier)

Mei-Phang: Alright, let's get back home. I think we all deserve a nice and warm tea with pastries.

Taran: uhm...

Mei-Phang: ...?

Taran: I...uh. May I invite Cho to join us for the tea?

Mei-Phang: Of course!! Why are you even asking?!!!

Taran: !!!...

Yes, please!!
Aysa and Ji deserve some love too!!
🐼💚🐼

If any Blizzard dev is seeing this...
Please, please, please!!!!! 🐼💚
May you make Taran x Cho canon!!!

Awwww, thank you!! 🥰
You are also Taran!!! As well as Cho!!!

Two Pandarens (left: Taran Zhu; right: Lorewalker Cho) Taran Zhu is wearing his official Shado-Pan uniform. His hands are behind his back. Despite most of his face covered by his scar, we can see that he looks concerned and worried. Cho is also in his official lorewalker outfit. Hands joined, he is looking at Taran with a malicious smile. In the background, there is an improvised theatre/storytelling stage, with an orange curtain (with a stylized motif of a Pandaren paw) attached between two wooden poles. Floating lanterns are tied to each pole. The illustration is made in a comic-strip style.

Do not mess with your lorewalker husband...
Do not play the grouchy bear in his presence.

#pandaren

Sha-Taran angrily playing Minecraft on his console. He is planning to hit a panda but misclick and feed it instead, causing the panda to happily react with a few hearts.

Blushing Sha-Taran has an idea...

Feeding Cho with bamboo!! He is sitting on the ground, smiling and handing a bamboo toward Cho's direction. The lorewalker looks at him with a puzzled expression.

Quick stretch-sketch before a long coloring session.

It is bamboo day, and I have all my Panda Minecraft figures around...

So get a quick comics with Sha-Taran trying to befriend Lorewalker Cho! 🐼💚🖤

Hey!
I cannot wait to show you more!!... 👀
How do you all like the Sha effect?

Register to a conference.
Checking the program to see which day I can sneak out to visit the pandas!!

Kirh have two brothers (deceased in WoW timeline, his big bro still alive in the comics)

Ji'sh: a twin brother, somewhere.

Tho: a big sister, and a few other half-siblings in the wilds

Xiang: beyond rumors about Cho being his twin, he confirms to have at least one "brother", alive.

Digital sketch of two Pandarens in an animal sanctuary: Lorewalker Cho and Sha-Taran. Cho is surrounded by many critters: a little bird resting on his hang (waiting for a biscuit), a cloud serpent hatchling (blowing heart-shaped smoke and peaking the biscuit box) on his shoulder, and an albinos tiger cub sleeping near his feet. Sha-Taran is sitting next to Cho. A tiger cub is happily chewing his arm and he is staring at him with a lot of anger... Another tiger cub paw is visible, suggesting that more than one cub is using Sha-Taran as a playground...

"It is never too late to learn kindness...😊"

Sha-Taran is doing his best to be/look "kind", so Cho will invite him again. 🐼🖤

A stretch-sketch, freely inspired by a post from Artistgem, (except that I swapped Taran by Sha-Taran, and it is a friendly outing, instead).

#pandaren

2.5D scene representing Two Pandarens (Lorewalker Cho and Taran Zhu). Cho is wearing his usual lorewalker outfit, with an light brown-orange scarf with a golden brooch. He is maliciously looking at Taran, his arms crossed on his back. Taran Zhu is wearing his meditation/monk dress, with a black scarf and his usual hat. He has a calm but more neutral expression. Cho is bathed in light, Taran nearly hidden in the shadows. The background represents a scroll.

"What if you joined me in this scroll for an extraordinary adventure?..."

"Cho, I would admit that this sounds...pleasing."

The lighting contrast is persistent, yet funny and fitting... 😅

- WIP

#pandaren

Looks like a reuniting party went a bit wrong!... 😅

Green-Taran is running after Chen, now.

Yes, there are still several unsolved father issues and past trauma that make my Taran Very reluctant with the idea of raising a child too... Cho is very patiently working on this. 😊

(Taoshi advices to throw a cub toward Taran's direction to summon his good papa bear instinct. 😅)

Not sure it will be the most obvious about them in Untold Tale, but Mei-Phang's inner strength is just incredible!
Their backstory is one of the most unfair.
They hate the Zhu clan, but carries its legacy, just by loyalty to Han-zhu.

I love their bad temper that is completely carried by their VA.😁

Meanwhile, my Taran is still panicking with the sole idea of holding a tiny cub...

Stealing this, while I am still working on science stuff.

Take good care of you! 🐼💚
If you need anything, you know where to find me.

*Panda hugs*

Of course, what I love the most in Xiang is his design, and the lore about the Pandaren opera he brought with him. 🎭

I admire how he made peace with the past (thank you Cho!) using his passion and creativity to leap back on his feet.
I love his secrets too... 😊

This quote OC response may require to be a thread 🐼🧵

She looks amazing!! :O

I got asked to draw something, but my brain is stubbornly getting blank and borred by the idea.
So I could not come up with something cool...
I will have to withdraw my participation, which is kinda sad, because I enjoy so much working with them usually. 😭

Look at them!!
Taran and Cho are now the proud (and exhausted) parent of a very lovely tribe!!

Yang’s siblings are now canon and are the real reason Taran and Cho are going grey (nah they are just silver foxes)

Updated the ages and also Song and Kang are twins

I did some audio editing for the project tonight!
Not an easy task for me, but it is time to think about the soundtrack. So I needed to give that challenge a try!

(I still feel bad about destroying such a great song.
Not even sure how it really sounds on your side, panda friends!)

Lorewalker Cho plush!

You can squish it and bring it home!

Enough of these wishing well pranks!
Time to use more reliable methods!!

Ahah, of course!! I love him so much, too!!

I hope I will be able to make at least one part of all the projects I want to do with him very soon!! 🐼🖤

Glad to have inspired you a cool idea for a GRIMM variant of them!! :D An ogre-like Wesen sounds pretty fitting!!

One day, I should dig out all my werewolves and other fantasy creatures. A bunch of them are inspired from old European folklore. I think you may like them! 😁
