New Sketch-a-wish illustration, voted by my wonderful Patreons for January!

Featuring Shin and Mina from The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh! I absolutely ADORE this book, and was happily re-listening to it while I worked on this piece! There's a funny quip about this scene intending to be where the 'land meets the sea', and instead is described where the 'mountain meets the sky'. But as Mina and Shin respectfully represent land and sea, I managed to squeeze all four in here, with a sea-like sky!

You claim the gods should love and care for humans. I disagree. I don’t think love can be bought or earned or even prayed for. It must be freely given.

Spread between my hand and Shin’s is a bright red ribbon. The Red String of Fate. Our eyes meet. “Oh no,” I say. -The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea - Axie Oh

I finished reading Axie Oh’s The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea a couple weeks ago, and the main characters had such Zutara vibes that I had to draw a crossover picture. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a YA fantasy book!

(Their clothes are me trying to recreate what the characters are wearing on the book cover, I apologize for any inaccuracies.)

I got wildly sick of white European farm boy fantasy a while back. Thank goodnes I didn't have to look hard to find other things, and plenty of them (literally this is not my whole collection, I just couldn't ffit everything in the picture)!

Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko follows Tar as she finds her family in an African-inspired fantasy world. The haunting "made of me, and me is mine" still echoes in my head. That and Dayo literally being the adoptive uncle who gets his nibling an elephant.

These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong explores Chinese and Russian rival crime families in fantasy 1920s Shanghai. For my Shakespeareans in the audience, yes, it's also a retelling of Romeo and Juliet. For those of you with bug phobias, beware.

Tha Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri is often described as having morally gray lesbians, and that's true. But while Priya and Malini are compelling and fascinating to follow, I am HERE for the Hirana. Semi-sentient, possibly evil temple who is soft for its favorite trainee priestess in hiding? YES.

Jade City by Fonda Lee follows the Green Bones in fantasy Asia, as two warring gangs find their places in a rapidly modernizing world. Shae and Hilo's relationship in particular is fascinating.

Full Disclosure: I haven't finished Axie Oh's The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea, but the first couple of chapters are a WOW and I can't wait to finish this Korean-inspired fairy tale retelling.

The Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan was sheer joy from start to finish, and I have not yet stopped asking "What the Actual HELL, Wenzhi???" Inspired by the myth of Chang'e, this book is a must-read. (The sequel is out November 2022 and I am so excited!!!)

Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao took me by the throat and literally did not let me go until the book ended--and even then, it less let me go and more threw me against the boards until round 2. The triangle is the strongest shape, and this has phenomenal poly and disability representation.

Another full disclosure: I haven't started Judy Lin's A Magic Steeped in Poison, but I am so excited for it. There is literal and figurative tea promised, and I am here for it.

The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah scratched a reading itch I didn't even know I had, and I love this book so much. It has cinnaprinces, a Loulie, jinn, forty thieves, and stories within stories.

Last full disclosure of the post: I also haven't read the doorstopper that is RR Virdi's The First Binding, but it is a heckin' chonk of a book that I am super excited to dive into.

Shin: a powerful deity

Shin: has several fights where he kills dozens of spirits all by himself

Shin: has at least one moment where it’s heavily implied that he tortures someone

Shin: drags a man through the streets full Achilles style

Mina: gosh he’s so ✨non threatening ✨

Mina from “The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea” by Axie Oh

I read this book recently and I really enjoyed it! It very much feels like a fairytale, Mina is a great heroine and the vibes are fantastic. I based this design on a very direct description of what Mina wears in the book after falling beneath the sea ;).

@userdramas get to know me bingo ⎈ adaptations @pscentral event 18: adaptations

"Who are you to say what my fate is - if I am to fail, or if I am to succeed? My fate is not yours to decide. My fate belongs to me." The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh (@axieoh) is an enthralling feminist retelling of the classic Korean folktale “The Tale of Shim Cheong."
