guuuuhhhhh the rings on his fingers make me feral

Close up of Wang Yibo with his hands in the foreground, fingers interlaced and raised as if he is leaning on his elbows. His head is lowered so we see the crown of his head. He's wearing rings and a big white watch.

Interior pages and spines for A World Apart.

A bit of trivia, each of the books has this rainbow foil on the inside with either a quote from the summary or a listing of the short stories contained in it - this was meant for the back of the books but it was too busy with the rest, so they’re inside!

A World Apart series by Sparkly

This one was my first multi-volume set! I tried to keep the styling cohesive with the color palette of red, yellow, and green (naturally 🥰) and used WYB’s job on a superhero movie as the inspo for the overall design of the covers and typeset.

We should pick that back up!!

He’s perfectly content with being Rental-ge and avoiding all the messiness of human connection… until the day that Xiao Zhan hires Yibo to listen to him talk about a boyfriend who keeps breaking his heart.”
