Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival and I finally drew the crossover I’ve been gushing about on Discord a year ago :D

Info dump ahead:

I used to be one of those bookworms with a fixation on mythology, namely ones from China since my mom never told me these stories from our culture.

My favorite story was about how the Mid-Autumn festival came to be. To abbreviate, the skilled archer, Hou Yi, saved humanity from dying of heat exhaustion by shooting down nine of ten suns.

This eventually caused a series of events that led to his wife, Chang’e, unintentionally becoming the Goddess of the Moon and unable to return back home.

The gods took pity on the star-crossed couple and decided to allow them an annual reunion on the full moon of the eighth lunar month. Hence, the creation of the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate this.

Here’s a link to the full story if anyone is interested: here

How does this relate to Hattercrow? Spoiler alert in the story: the fallen suns were turned into three legged crows (sanzuwu) and Chang’e has a pet bunny (the Jade Rabbit), who makes potions for the heavenly beings.

They also happened to be representations of the Sun and Moon, respectively.

So I drew Johana as a humanized sanzuwu and Janis as the Jade Rabbit in the Tang Dynasty fashion.

To summarize, I had loved this story way before I got into Hattercrow but once I got invested, I was immediately reminded of my childhood.

Hope you enjoy this long post and art.

Have a bonus sketch of their animal counterparts. :)

10x10 (2018)

8/10!

To contrast my last post, here’s a movie that’s full of twists! If you enjoy a movie where things aren’t how they appear, then you may enjoy this mystery thriller. Small cast and a single location. This could easily be a play you find in SF or something. Just try not to go in knowing too much. Don’t even watch the trailer. 

(quick tw notes. There is no sex assault, no self harm, and no *child abuse.

*it is threatened at one point but no children are harmed.)

Hole in the Ground (2019)

9/10! Don’t expect too many twists and turns. What you suspect is likely true, but it’s that 99% certainty that produces that sense of dread. Not too many scares, but when each one hits, you’re in for a truly shocking visual.
