As evening embraced the room, a warm glow spilled from the window, illuminating Shendu’s back as he sat at his desk. He carefully lifted his son onto his lap, ensuring the boy had a clear view of the mysterious book in front of them. Shendu was in the midst of explaining his plans for acquiring new magical powers to his curious son.
"...and with these 12 magical animals, I will become the strongest and most powerful demon to ever exist," Shendu declared with a hint of excitement in his voice.
His son, wide-eyed and filled with admiration, chimed in, "But daaaddy, you're already the strongest!"
A soft chuckle escaped Shendu’s lips. "That may be true. But with these," he gestured towards the intricate drawings of the 12 magical animals, "I will become unstoppable. See these two animals here?" He pointed at the illustrations of a rabbit and a rooster.
The son, eager and curious, followed his father's clawed finger. "Yeah, the bunny and the chicken!"
"With the combination of these two," Shendu explained, "I should be able to fly at great speeds and perhaps even travel around the whole world within a day." He lifted his other hand upward, emphasizing the possibilities.
His son's eyes lit up with excitement. "That is so cool! I want to do that! Daddy, I want magical animal powers too! Please! Pretty please!"
Shendu, however, was not amused by his son's enthusiastic demands. "Absolutely not," he said sternly.
The son's grin faded, and his voice took on a whiny tone. "But why!? That's not fair! I want to be strong and unstoba- unst... un-"
"Unstoppable," Shendu corrected.
"Unstobble!!" His son insisted. "I want to be strong too!" In a fit of frustration, he crawled onto the table, facing his father, and stomped his feet in a tantrum. "I want magical animal powers too!"
Shendu, unyielding, lifted his son and patted him on the head. "These powers are meant for me... and only me. You are far too young and inexperienced to try and use this sort of magic."
Defiantly crossing his arms, his son turned away, sulking. "It's not fair... I want to be strong, like you," he mumbled pitifully.
Shendu contemplated for a moment and gazed down at his son. "Perhaps... one day, when you're older, I will help you find and obtain a different set of powers. Something fitting for a young spit-fire like yourself," he soothed, closing the magical book.
Still pouting, the son turned to face his father, hope flickering in his eyes. "You... promise?"
"I promise."

So this was something I thought of the other day when I was thinking about a favorite childhood show of mine, Jackie Chan Adventures. Drago’s background in the show has always been open to interpretation and I’ve always had the idea that he was born back when Shendu ruled China, 900+ years ago. Drago would be very young here and like most young children he idolizes his father and wants to be like him, which I would argue is still accurate even in season 5 of the actual show. Also, I don’t believe the name “Drago” was his real name, no way Shendu would name his kid something that wasn’t Chinese, so I just refer to him as… “his son” in the short story above.
I don’t normally do backgrounds for my drawings so this was more of an experiment to see if I could do it, and see if I could accurately capture a “mood”. Also note, I don’t know how to write Chinese so all of the characters are just scribbles, maybe think of them as “demon language” if that helps. Just don’t try to read them, its just fake text.

Chinese Lantern Festival
I thought of participating (at least in some way) in a well known Chinese tradition - celebration of the beginning of a New Year with lanterns of different shapes and forms (hanging, flying and floating ones, you name it). And since it is a Year of a Dragon and I'm in a JCA fanart era,.. you knew I had to draw my beloved Shendu)).
It is said that some lanterns bear symbols of good fortune on them while others may have riddles being hidden in their design.
"As a tradition of Chinese Lantern Festival, guessing lantern riddles is as important as eating dumplings on the day. The custom is a unique form of Chinese folk culture, showcasing people's good wishes for the new year and inspiring wisdom."
So, I had an idea to use a Sign of Fire from the second season of a show instead of traditional symbols, since Pan'ku Box was a puzzle to be solved and fire is an essential part of any existing lantern (and it is Shendu's elemental power, after all) )).
Hope you'll enjoy this picture, I had lots of fun working on it.
This is a mixed media art, you will find the part I drew in a traditional way under the cut. You can actually see how huge my eraser looks next to it, haha, but damn, do I love drawing miniatures.

Eng. Sometimes when I read fan fiction of a romantic or pornographic nature involving Tso-Lan, I wondered “How can Tso-Lan, with his head anatomy and without the ability to move his jaw, kiss someone deeply?” So one day I decided to first sketch out the kiss of the moon demon with the heavenly demon - Hsi-Wu, and then realized it in art. By the way, according to the original idea, I thought that the claw-like processes near the mouth might slightly touch the cheeks or neck of the other partner, but it didn’t work out a bit.
Rus. Иногда, когда я читала фанфики характера романтики или порнографического с участием Тсо-Лан, я задавалась вопросом "А как Тсо-Лан с его анатомией головы и без возможности двигать челюсть может целоваться в засос с кем-то?". Вот и в один из дней я решила сначала наскетчить поцелуй лунного демона с небесным демоном - Хси-Ву, а потом реализовала в арт. Кстати, по изначальной задумки, я думала что отростки, похожие на клешни возле рта, могут немного задеть щеки или шею другого партнера, но не вышло немного.

This probably won't speak to many people... But when the Overlords gathered for the reunion, I immediately had such a flashback to the group scenes of the Demon Sorcerers, from the Jackie Chan cartoons.
I blame the giant dinosaur lady for this

I was finally able to finish this little demon haha Drago is the main villain in the fifth and final season in the series: The Adventures of Jackie Chan. He is the son of the first villain of the first season, Shendu. The one he faces in the final season in a father and son battle. Both being fire demons. For a long time I wanted to draw Drago, but before these little hands were not so skilled. But I see that I have improved since then and I am happy with how I am. PS: I advise you not to watch Korean series while drawing, they get very distracted and the drama doesn't let them go XD

Never trust a demon
Especially if they’re from Jackie Chan Adventures
In Season One, Valmont provides the statuesque Shendu with all twelve of his talismans (which Jackie Chan stole at Valmont’s behest) and thus frees him from his petrification. Once free however, Shendu reneges on their previously agreement and refuses to provide Valmont with the lost treasure of Ching Xi Hung.
“Regrettably, Valmont, you did not provide me with the talismans. Jackie Chan did.”
Shendu justifies this reneger through a minor technicality that has no validity-that it was Jackie that obtained the talismans and not Valmont’s men. A ludicrous distinction, seeing as Chan was in Valmont’s employ at the time and was acting as his agent as much as Finn, Ratso or Chow were. This is clearly a pretext to refuse Valmont his rightful reward, indicating that Shendu never planned to give Valmont a single coin. Incidentally, by doing this, Shendu has much in common with another fictional dragon, who’s name shall not be mentioned here.
This first act of betrayal sets the tone for the dishonouring of demonic promises in the series. Ironically enough, the next person to suffer from the reneger of a demonic promise is Shendu himself.
After being destroyed by Jade Chan and being consigned to the Netherworld as a spirit, Shendu is at the mercy of his vengeful siblings. He only manages to forestall their wrath by promising to free them from their prison. While the seven siblings agree, they devise a contingency which traps Shendu within the first mortal he possesses, promising to free him only after he opens all seven of their portals.
Fast forward to several months later, when Shendu and his minions open the seventh and final demon portal in Rome. Only to be flatly denied his release by his sister, despite the previous agreement.
Po Kong, Xiao Fung, Tchang Zu, Dai Gui, His Wu, Tso Lan and finally Bai Tsa were all released from the Netherworld by the efforts of their disembodied brother. And every one of those demons, through no fault of Shendu’s, found themselves banished once more within hours or days of their release.
Po Kong never even managed to leave the courtyard where she was released, before the elder Chan’s spell sent her right back to the Netherworld. Xiao Fung never left the prison walls into which he was freed before being sent back to the void. Tchang Zu wreaked havoc in Hollywood for a couple hours before being cast back into his portal. Dai Gui rampaged around Spain for less than a day before being exiled once more. Hsi Wu was the exception to his siblings in that he was able to stay free for a couple days, before sharing their fates. Tso Lan spent perhaps an hour outside the Netherworld before being whisked back. Bai Tsa was the smartest of the lot and managed to outmaneuver the Chans twice, but eventually was also hunted down and banished again.
All these demons squandered their brief freedom by blundering around the mortal world, blind to any dangers that existed to them-namely Uncle Chan and his chi spells, overwhelmingly arrogant in their own power. By the time Bai Tsa emerged from her portal in Spain, the other six demon sorcerers had been freed by their brother and reimprisoned just as quickly.
All six demons were furious at the abbreviated nature of their short-lived freedom, but they had no one but themselves to blame for their return to the pit. Had they acted differently, found a stronghold to hide in and built up their knowledge and strength, they could have survived and prospered in the modern world. As it was, they blundered around, drunk on their own power and found that their strength and magic did nothing to prevent their banishment.
Having learned nothing from centuries of incarceration, the six re-imprisoned demons blamed others for their lack of freedom as did their yet-to be freed sister. Specifically, their brother, as if Shendu had anything to do with their renewed banishment.
Thus, when Bai Tsa was released and Shendu asked her to release the spell she and the others had placed upon him, he was met with a flat refusal. Just as Shendu had cited a ridiculous technicality to deny Valmont his due, Bai Tsa cited a similar one to deny Shendu his just reward.
“You dare request your freedom? Six demon sorcerers remain trapped in the void!”
Similar to Valmont’s claim, Shendu is completely in the right here. The agreement was that he would free all seven of his siblings. He did so, by using the Pan Ku box to open all of their portals, one by one. After releasing Bai Tsa, Shendu’s part of the bargain was complete. But, as the demons were seriously dissatisfied with the scant hours of freedom they had received, they chose to take their displeasure out on their brother by denying him what he wanted. After all, if they had to suffer imprisonment for eternity, so should he.
This is another prime example of demons dealing in bad faith. A refusal to honour a bargain after it has been struck and one party has fulfilled their obligation is a prime example of untrustworthiness and reneger.
Shendu’s reputation for this sort of dishonesty does not seem to spread among the supernatural community, as a year later, a dark chi wizard strikes up a new bargain with the still-disembodied Shendu.
Daolon Wong agrees to reincarnate Shendu in a new body on Earth, in exchange for the Dragon power which is currently adrift on the magical winds. Wong holds up his end of the bargain and reincarnates Shendu in a new body. But mere moments after Shendu opens his eyes and the Dragon power emerges, Wong finds himself thrown aside as Shendu claims this promised power for himself.
“While I may be a noble dragon, I am also a demon sorcerer and not known for keeping promises.”
Wong gets his revenge on Shendu by sharing a spell with the Chans that returns Shendu to stone mere hours after his rebirth. But this final betrayal proves, once and for all, that demons cannot be trusted to honour their words.
Shendu and Bai Tsa’s renegers have a veneer of justification on the basis of flimsy technicalities. But once Shendu is reborn, he does away with even this pretence and confirms outright what we’ve known all along. Demons cannot be trusted to honour their promises and will only ever do what is in their own best interest.

Jiao: The baby is moving again.
Shendu: Must've felt my presence.
Another post dedicated to JCA in a row, I am in a mood for creating stuff for this fandom (or, rather, posting works from my stash, heh).
Here you can see a Demon Sorcerer Shendu with his human spouse (my OC), known by the name Jiao Fenghu. Both are talking about their soon to be daughter Huahuo, who is present on couple of previous posts.
Daughter's design was created by my friend and I've suggested a name for a small green bean)
I will upload a couple more studies of Jiao in the future in order to properly introduce her to the audience. But for now - enjoy a rare moment, filled with peace and tranquility)

Past and present day fashion
In the of both medieval Asia the women in kimono and hanfu show both royalty and living in a perfect Society they are in.
The oni girl in medieval Japan 🇯🇵 live in well full architects and building in their day to symbolize her people of the night of the oni clan.
In medieval Chinese era women in society wear makeup and put a ornaments on their hair to show passion and beauty in their work, the female dragon wear red for royalty and power they show.
In present day now people wear what ever they want to wear from wearing black all day and wearing something irresistible. Like both female dragons wearing baddie girl outfits and emo outfits styles.
