I've wanted to experiment with this art style for years because I love artists like Tooth Wu and Lin Chang, but with the advent of all the pinterest AI slop it kinda demotivated me. Today, I determined that I won't let it get in the way of my artistic growth. I love how this design turned out:D

Wow it has actually been almost 2 years since I last posted on here. I am still trying to move here from Instagram and X cuz those two are getting worse and worse. Here's a WWX portrait I drew a few months ago. It's gonna be 5 years since I first read MDZS back in May 2020. Time flies!!

If anyone needed a bit of inspiration for Space AU Wangxian(anyone who knows me knows this is my biggest delight), I've put together a short list of the top fics in the subgenre that broke my heart and sewed it back together:

If you haven't watched Blue eye samurai yet, I highly recommend it! I feel like crying cuz it's new and there's only 15 BES fanfics on ao3 so far 🫣💔

I really REALLY need some wangxian fanfiction recommendations. I've been struggling to find anything good lately. If there's something with lots of angst (but a happy ending of course), or sth where lwj and wwx hated each other at first let me know, I'll be super thankful!

It always hurts me to see Wei Wuxian lonely, he's such an extrovert but he actually spent the worst moments of his life being left alone. Here's an au in which he's alone during his birthday (probably after being disowned by the Jiangs) 💔

A AoT inspired illustration I did a few months ago. It's supposed to be Eren but some people told me it doesn't look like him at all. So yeah, it's just SnK inspired. I'm not a part of the SnK fandom anymore and I've no idea what's going on there but I used to be obsessed with it for 7 years 🫣

I really love reading fics where wwx is a broke student surviving on instant noodles. They remind me of the year when I lived in a dorm. I've read so many college aus that I wanna go back to university now. Even though I know it's not gonna be that fun xD

Who are your favorite mdzs fic writers on ao3? Especially if they don't have many followers and kudos but their fics are really good

A drawing I did a few months ago. I'm thinking of redrawing it but with wwx instead? 😂 He seems like someone whose diet would only consist of instant noodles 🫠🫠🫠

What are your favorite mdzs / the Untamed tags on ao3? I really love Enemies to Lovers, misunderstandings and angst with a happy ending. There's a lot more but these are the ones I always check

A sketch I did while listening to a podfic. I didn't draw for a few weeks and my hands feel so stiff now! 😭 Anyway here's cql lwj and mdzs wwx, I tried to make them look the way I imagine them while reading and I wouldn't say I succeeded but it's quite close I think?

Can you recommend some mdzs / cql fics which you really like but they don't have that many kudos? The more angst the better (but I like happy endings xD)
