some kind of amnesia/sleeping beauty AU where Hua Cheng takes on a curse in order to protect Xie Lian, and ends up stuck in an enchanted slumber, only to be awoken by his beloved. Unfortunately there’s an unforeseen side effect-

THESE ARE SO CUUUTEEE the way his umbrella extends to shade XL 😭😭😭 genius

fanart of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from Heaven Official's Blessing in Katamari Damacy style. Varies designs were sketched, mostly of Hua Cheng. One where his right side is bandaged up & he holds a flower as he cries. Next is a San Lang inspired design. A small design detail is a red string tied on his left side. Hua Cheng stands next to Xie Lian. Hua Cheng's umbrella covers Xie Lian. rough idea of Xie Lian's colors with and arrow pointing, "gold for god pleasing?" Xie Lian's God pleasing outfit is loosely sketched and colored.

The Hualesbians really won because Chappell Roan’s “Picture You” is really the perfect hualian song

Digital painting of Xie Lian from my AU. He is laying face down in the grass, his face buried in the crook of his arm, exhausted and upset, wearing torn and blood-soaked Fangxin Guoshi robes. His hands and feet are visible, pale, skeletal, dirty, and blood spattered. In one hand he clutches a bloody stake, in the other he holds a purplish-black meteorite ring between his thumb and forefinger. There are tiny white flowers in the grass around him, and a large pile of grave dirt near his head. It is nighttime, and the stars are very bright and visible even through a thin layer of clouds. An off-screen moon lights the scene.

I'd tell them, "Put me back in it.."

have a little satisfying hair rendering!

Imagining being stuck on a boat with them I don’t think I could handle their ooey gooey sweetness 😭😭😭 (and thank you!!!!’ ❤️)

Digital illustration of Hualian standing on a pirate ship, staring lovingly into each other’s eyes. There’s a large wave cresting behind Hua Cheng, and the sky is a soft pink sunset.

FINALLY finished my fanart for “Call of the Sea” by the incredible @gabzjones.bsky.social !!!

If you haven’t read it yet, I HIGHLY recommend! (🔗 below!)

need to get him a cage for next time

i need to draw more happy laughing silly hualian sex !!!!!!!!

Digital art showing a text conversation between hualian, where Hua Cheng has accidentally sent Xie Lian a nude photo. He’s naked and smirking at the camera, one hand holding his dick. Underneath the photo is a drawing of Xie Lian with wide eyes and a blushing face. Texts from Xie Lian read: *keysmash* — Sorry! — San Lan looks very nice haha

Continuation of last panel. There’s a text conversation in the center, with drawings of Hua Cheng on the left and Xie Lian on the right. Hua Cheng is kneeling on the floor gripping his head, with the words “KILL ME NOW” above him. Xie Lian is sitting curled up, face red and pouting at his phone, a thought bubble next to him reading “Who did San Lang mean to send it to then? >:(“ The text conversation reads Hua Cheng: -Shit Gege -Please ignore that -I didn’t mean to send you that I’m sorry. Xie Lian: -Sure San Lang :-)

This might have been an accident, but why was Hua Cheng smirking at the camera like that in the first place? 🤔

For #hualianHappyHour texting “wrong number” prompt

CUTIIEEESSS the shapes of hua cheng’s hair is so good !!

i’ll never tire of them!!! soap each other UP

YES i referenced the bridgerton bath scene… i’ve been picturing hualian in the bath since watching it!!

Digital lineart drawing of Hualian laying together in a bathing pool. Hua Cheng is sitting behind Xie Lian between his legs, face hidden. Xie Lian is laying back against Hua Cheng’s chest, face tilted back in pleasure, one arm raised to hold Hua Cheng. They are surrounded by clouds of steam in the background, and Hua Cheng’s eyepatch is resting to the side.

trying to emulate @gorbinius.bsky.social’s hair rendering wizardry… idk how you manage to make it look so sleek and pretty 😩❤️

wanting to make the most of the last of my weekend but my wrist is already hurting and i need to Not Draw

NOOOOOOOO i really posted this at the worst time 😭😭😭

HEHEHE ❤️❤️🫶 I had a lot of fun trying to design their piratey outfits (especially XL’s thigh holster 🥵)

This was the goal agshdjfjgjg (my dedication to hualian looking sappy and in love maybe kept me from going full over the top steamy romance)

Torn between imagining it whipping in the wind directly into HC’s face or imagining it wrapped around HC’s fist while he *redacted*

bluesky pleasepleaseplease let me edit posts… i can never remember to use hashtags 😔

this is so funny because i was honestly feeling a little nervous saying i wasn’t a big fan of his donghua design LOL

YESS It should be frizzing and growing when he uses his powers like a ghibli character (OR like so pin straight and sleek that it also makes interesting dynamic shapes)

It’s such a weird choice given the red eye being so important to his history 😭

my attachment to my own hualian definitely gets in my way of finally watching the donghua 😭😭 i can’t help it i’m sorry i will eventually get over myself

Screenshot of Hua Cheng from the new 3rd Donghua “short film”

Screenshot of Hua Cheng from the new 3rd Donghua “short film” painted over to make him more my own style

i need to confess something… every time i see donghua HC i ask myself where his nose is

so here’s my 10 minute attempt to make him closer to my version (also why do they make his eye red… it IRKS ME)

The sheerness of XL’s wet robes 😳 (this is soooo good!!!)
