#like... the way its PETALS gathering when xiyun goddess comes to life

[mejomonster]

among many things love between fairy and devil does lovely

it lets actor’s skin textures still show. they are wearing makeup as expected in show roles, and I can still see their skin texture, the roughness of skin. they weren’t smoothed over with effects. its nice. thank you

and of course the effort they put into their magic concept design and execution. how every magic effect really visualizes what it is, how it’d work, how it compliments the acting choices made by the actor portraying that magic. i can think of very few xianxia where i felt the magic looked so well thought out to how it worked and should look 

#love between fairy and devil #clj #rant #lb #like... the way its PETALS gathering when xiyun goddess comes to life #the way the oldest evil god is this black sandy vapor that swirls and swirls up in black eyes then swirls back away. how it feels like it #consumes. its a great visual for something possessing consuming destructive #how the energy sharing for dongfang qingcang's primordial spirit LOOKS like fire #like fire and energy his friends send at him but also makes sense blasting them backwards away (because fire can do that) #its like. they did PHENOMENAL costume design and set designs to really make a distinct identity for the #characters and places #changheng and ronghao fighting in their different costumes was a BEAUTIFUL example of the costume design #and magic design #it looks better than a LOT of hollywood movies coming out #because the distinct concept is fully realized here
