Hey guys, did you know that it's world penguin day today? And some of you might know that I love penguins a lot! Some of you might even remember this pride penguin series that I did a while ago. I never posted them all together so here we go. The whole collection for you to enjoy. Happy penguin day, y'all! :D

[image ID: Nine digital drawings of various pengiun species. All of them are wearing flower corwns on their heads. Each penguin has different flowers on their head and a different pride flag in a circle behind them as background. More detailed description in alt text. End ID.]

Okay I've always been a fan of merfolk that look different based on their regional environment like seal or whale merfolk for cold regions and tropical fish for hot regions and like merfolk that live in the deepest areas having no vision and being bioluminescent and I think if you haven't done that already it would look amazing in your style!!

I've been going for koi fish mostly in the past for mdzs characters and then I kind of just did whatever elements of fish looked pretty and slapped them together. So this was a fun challenge! I found a very much Jin coded tropical fish and an amazing picture of a leopard seal in motion that immediately inspired me. So have these sketches! Thank you very much for the prompt!

[image ID: Two rough digital sketches of Jin Zixuan and Lan Wangji from MZDS/The Untamed. They are both portrayed as merfolk. More detailed description in alt text. End ID.]

I am once again asking: Is it May yet?

So back in 2021 I drew a NieYao picture for Mermay that featured Meng Yao saving Nie Mingjue from drowning. You can find it here! This is what happens right after the rescue: Nie Mingjue saves Meng Yao from this tiny pond in Koi Tower where his father has kept him since his mermaid mother gave birth to him and a lot of things and stuff happen of course. (Yes, I have the whole plot for a multichaptered fic written down already...)

[image ID: a digital sketch of Nie Mingjue and Meng Yao from The Untamed/MDZS in an au setting. Nie Mingjue is sitting by the side of a pond, hand outstretched towards Meng Yao who is portrayed as a merman. He too is reaching out for Nie Mingjue but with hesitance.

Today I finished another artpiece to go with my fierce corpse Jiang Cheng AU. :D

Sketch can be found here - fic can be read here.

[image ID: A fully coloured digital drawing of Jiang Cheng from MDZS/The Untamed portrayed as a fierce corpse. He is standing in the rain. Water is running from his forehead down over his eye and cheek, making it unclear if he might be crying or if it's just the rain. He is wearing his clothes so that the right side is covering the left to accentuate his status as fierce corpse. End ID. More detailed image description in alt text.]

I feel like I am entering what later will be defined as a new phase in my art: The Dage Tiddies Phase. Probably have entered it already...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[image ID: a fully coloured digital drawing of Nie Mingjue from The Untamed/MDZS in a modern au setting, showing him to his hips. He wearing pants while his torso is naked and covered in dark red lipstick marks. One of his arms is raised as he is currently wiping at another lipstick mark on his cheek, smearing it across his skin. He is looking at the viewer. His hair is pulled up into a messy ponytail. He has a sidecut and both of his arms are covered in tattoos made of different geometric patterns. End ID.]

#reblogging myself because i still love it so much

This drawing is part of my fierce corpse Jiang Cheng au in which Nie Mingjue gets to have Fairy as his fluffy protector. :)

New chapter can be found here!

[image ID: a fully coloured digital drawing of Nie Mingjue from The Untamed/MDZS. He is lying in the grass underneath a tree, across his belly lies the dog Little Fairy portrayed as a big husky. She is also asleep. Nie Mingjue is smiling peacefully in his sleep. End ID. More detailed image description in alt text.]

Draw Nie Mingjue sleeping under a tree?

My mind is still stuck in my fierce corpse Jiang Cheng au in which Fairy ends up being Nie Mingjue's good doggo. So have both of them napping underneath a tree! :D

Thank you for the cute prompt, you know I cannot resist drawing this big man all peaceful.

Guardian by Æther Realm came on soon after i finished reading the update for Don't Hold On Too Tight and now the song is about it 👍🏻 dunno if the noises are your speed, but the lyrics are nice

So this ask has been sitting in my inbox for a while now and since I finally finished the new chapter today (you can read it here) I thought I'd celebrate by trying to draw some art for it and why not listen to your song rec for inspiration? Now. I have been listening to this song for a solid two hours and I have been drawing this. Boy, have I been drawing! And then I sat here and bawled my eyes out like a little baby because you know what?

I have been stuck in art block since October. That's 5 months now. And finally. Finally, I felt like coming home after so long. Please, I need you to understand how much this means to me. I have finally drawn something that made me fall in love with art and my actual own skills all over again. I have drawn something I desire to colour properly. And I can't thank you enough for triggering all this by sending this ask.

So yeah. Whew.

Doodle: a poodle

Have a bonus Jiang Cheng holding said poodle because nothing helps me more getting through my art block than drawing blorbos from my shows. :D

@livingmeatloaf replied to my doodle request post against art blockage: Jin Ling trying to put those dog booties on Fairy? 😂

And how could I not? I tried to go for something different with the colours for this one as a fun little experiment, nothing too wild. Hope you like it, my friend! :D

"If I don't make it back from where I've gone - Just know I loved you all along."

That line from Inkpot Gods from The Amazing Devil has been doing things to me and throws me straight into ChengXian feelings whenever I hear it. Because Wei Wuxian never quite really made it back from the Burial Mounds now, did he? Someone needs to come and talk to me about all this please and thank you.

Hi! If you're still in art block may I suggest listening to the song Until the Levee by Joy Williams and then thinking about Jiang Cheng looking angsty and wistful standing at the edge of the water. Sorry man I never recovered from the early aughts and songfics
