Oops, I never uploaded this one to Tumblr (which I only realized when someone else did, but then was kind enough to tag me, thank you)!

This is the comic that kickstarted my obsession with telling stories with as few panels as I could (usually 10-11 haha), so it’s got a soft spot in my heart.

So I have finished cleaning up the scan for the latest entry in the MXTX Major Arcana tarot project- Lan Wangji as the Hermit. I will be honest: this particular card was assigned at least 50% because the Hermit is traditionally depicted holding a lantern, and this is very appropriate for LWJ. But the Hermit stands for self-reflection and contemplation, as well as isolation and being cut off from society (in reverse) and honestly, I have always thought LWJ's internal journey in the time WWX was dead was one of the things most interesting about him as a character.

This is - for me - a pretty monochromatic painting; half the watercolors I used were different shades of blue, but I think it came out quite well.

Making art for my fics is just as much fun as writing the fic. Wei Ying decides it's time to go home to Lotus Pier.

Growing up Mormon AND with long hair that I didn’t cut because of pressure from my mom, to me the metaphor here is pretty obvious… you can read it how you want though.

Painting this dark terrifies me.

It’s this new painting approach I’m still trying to experiment with toward something that feels dreamy and moody. Watercolor isn’t’ the most forgiving when painting this dark, but maaaan it turned out pretty dope in the end!

No tech CEO or NYT bestselling novelist will ever match the creativity of a humble French postman who decided on a whim to spend thirty-three years building a surreal, majestic palace with the bricks and mortar of his dreams.
