"ChongZi and Mu Yu - Sleepytime Hugs" - Fanart of the Chinese drama "The Journey of Chong Zi" - Digital Painting
Part of my "square cdrama chibis" series...
...of which I have a few finished already, but this is the first one I'm posting on tumblr.
This one is based on this deleted shot from ChongZi ep. 29:
(I hope this embed method shows for everyone😅)
I was experimenting, trying a new style of chibi. There were things I liked, things I didn't, so I took the ones I liked into the next painting of them, which I'll post later.

💜SPOILERS:
Once ChongZi became a demon, she'd have nightmares every night, but she discovered that she wouldn't have them if "Mu Yu" (I'm avoiding further spoilers here, ok? XD) hugged her to sleep, so she'd sleep in his arms every night. The bed scene was apparently(?) filmed but taken out of the drama. On the drama, we just see one night, where she's sleeping on her bed and he's sleeping on the floor, sitting against her bed, and holding her hand all through the night.
On ep. 29, we see a scene where they're arguing in her room, and then he hugs her from behind, but, next, it pans to scenery while the dialogue keeps going. This fanart is of the frames they deleted, that happened during that scenery dialogue: she simmers down and they both close their eyes and she goes sleepy (naturally) in his arms. Why did they delete that? I don't know. :(

Deleted shot from "The Journey of ChongZi" ep. 29
Don't read the hashtags if you haven't reached ep. 27
Commentary and background under Readmore
Why was this shot edited out? I really liked this view of both of them with their eyes closed. :3 It's one of my favorites. Instead, we got scenery while their dialogue continued.
Fans on the bullet screen started saying this move/pose was Mu Yu's thing. XD
🟣 SPOILERS FOR EP 27-29, BELOW AND IN TAGS 🟣
According to people who read the book, ChongZi would sleep in Tian Zhixie's arms every night to avoid the nightmares (both of them in the bed, not him on the floor... though that would have been interesting acrobatics😂). So this was a nice reference to that, since, in the drama, we only saw him holding her hand while she slept.
