お知らせ! i’m gonna try to make hashtags like fandom, and personal oc tags for searchability within my page, but trigger/content warnings i’m not gonna actually tag bc they’re not for visibility, i just want them muteable by keyword. hope that works 🦭

ITS NOT MIDNIGHT YET I HOPE I MADE IT IN TIME!!! Zhen Hongye loves formal wear and would love to celebrate the newlyweds hehe 💞 he has his invitation ready! this outfit is inspired by the armor i usually dress him in on wwm :3
digital drawing of op’s original character, Zhen Hongye. he is dressed in a hanfu inspired asymmetrical gown with a high slit and spiked gold armor pieces, high heels, and decorative ropes reminiscent of shibari. he has long black hair with gray streaks.

my ideas for binquan ship dynamics hehehehe… i can imagine lu dongbin being like “oh shixiong likes me too? aight bet” and skipping a million steps in his head bc he’s had a crush on zhongli quan forever GOD IM CRINGE AND FREE
digital sketch of Zhongli Quan and Lu Dongbin from the film All Wishes Come True (2026) about to kiss. the drawing is a parody of a meme in which one character has “never kissed anyone before ever” (Zhongli Quan) and the other is “expecting a kiss with tongue” (Lu Dongbin). digital sketch comic of Zhongli Quan and Lu Dongbin from the film All Wishes Come True (2026). panel 1: Zhongli Quan lifts Lu Dongbin’s chin and says, flirting, “What’s the matter, Shidi? Could it be I just stole your first kiss?” panel 2: Lu Dongbin looks thoughtful for a moment then replies, “Hmph. Then…” panel 3: Lu Dongbin continues while leaning into Zhongli Quan’s space and slipping a hand onto his chest under his clothing, “I’ll also steal something of yours.” panel 4: Zhongli Quan stumbles back, his robe having been pushed off his shoulder, and Lu Dongbin standing over him while disrobing himself. Zhongli Quan stammers, “Haha, wait, what? Now!?”

followed an instagram prompt to make a medieval self oc thingy… very self indulgent. good art block killer!
drawing of an original character design. a humanoid unicorn knight with long gray hair and bright red eyes. she wears silver armor with a long black skirt and has a large black sword. she kneels bracing herself on the sword and looking up, a small wound visible on one of her legs. a small black creature leaps nearby her, a black squirrel but with wool and curled horns like a sheep and/or goat. there are handwritten comments about the design including her name, Dulcinea.

trying to shake off art block and get used to drawing my wuxia oc by drawing him as memes/text posts
sketch page of original character Zhen Hongye parodying 7 different memes and text posts. 1. the meme image of two men on a bus, one frowning while staring at a rocky cliffside out the window and the other smiling looking at the sunset out the opposite window. the frowning man is replaced by the present Zhen Hongye who looks unhappy. the smiling man is replaced by his past self when he had the title Feihuan-zun. his hair is neater, he wears a Well of Heaven uniform and he has a healthier complexion and slight smile. 2. the text post reads “beautiful cat with homophobia” (a misspelling of heterochromia) with heart emojis. the drawing features Zhen Hongye’s brown eye color, and one eye is notably lighter as if it has a mysterious glow from within. 3. two drawings of Zhen Hongye with the meme dialogue “Call a doctor… but not for me!” in the first drawing he crouches in pain and clutches his chest which glows with some supernatural ailment. in the second drawing he has lunged up to grab an unnamed disciple by the throat. 4. a colored sketch of Zhen Hongye with his arms crossed in an insecure posture, gaze averted. his expression looks distressed and his cheeks are flushed. the text post reads: “*me, literally sick with want* ‘whatever.’” 5. sketch of Zhen Hongye looking irritated and resigned. text overlaying the image reads: “Bothered. Unmoisturized. Sad. Out of my lane. Unfocused. Decaying.” a negative parody of a positive caption. 6. Zhen Hongye sips tea contentedly. the text, an SMS exchange, reads: A: “How come you’ve been abnormally nice to me lately?” B: “What do you mean?” A: “You just seem nicer than usual.” B: “I‘ll punch you in the face if you want.” with person B attributed to Hongye. 7. drawing of Zhen Hongye as a popular Chinese style of cotton plush doll, with gray striped long hair cat ears and tail. it has a cute but grumpy face. the text, a facebook comment exchange, reads: A: “A smile might be good.” B: “Nothing to smile about in my life.”

i had finished this for world goth day but was too busy to post it! anyway lucas is the seemingly effortless style type, so this outfit is meant to be a sorta cleaned up goth-day-off. nothing special except maybe his Vivienne Westshroud ring :o3
digital illustration of a character on a plain background. it is an original character viera named lucas from final fantasy 14, but dressed in modern clothing. he has a pale complexion and pale ash-blond hair, with raspberry colored highlights. his vieran ears are dwarf-length. he wears all-black converse, black jeans with the knees torn wide open, a simple charcoal black t-shirt and a gray cardigan. he has several rings on each hand and two stacked necklaces, all in silver. a wide image showing a lineup of seven original final fantasy 14 characters in modern clothing of goth and other subcultures’ styles. the newest addition is Lucas, with text stating his style is casual goth and his height is five feet and ten inches.

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.
