Huang Tianhua has arrived and looks ready for mischief!!

"Growing emotionally attached" oh no..

hhehehehhehehehehehheyeye

[stalkyarsen-ebook]

I finally have something for Huang Tianhua :D

I got so much help just for him and it was very much worth it !!!! ^^

Some notes :

When I mean I used "tiger-striped leopard" as his whole theme, I mean I doubled downed. His whole gimmick is being leopard looking while wanting to be as cool as a tiger. I gave him freckles he absolutely despises and makeup that resembles tiger white markings.

since he uses melon hammers, i thought it would be interesting to show his arms.

while i like the overall silhouette, colours and clothes are prone to change.

But yeah, already loving him ;; here are some early design

good old time - 2

(NOTE : i have a vague idea for shiji, yay ^^ as for huang tianhua... i'm searching for references but it's hard to see a style direction for him yet. i have a concept for him but i still need to recognize his most notable features for now...)

good old times - 1

[stalkyarsen-ebook]

just a first try with biyun and caiyun. it definitely won't stick but I like how they both act individually. so here are some notes :

They will be designed after moss and will probably end up being yaoguai. I also stumbled upon the existence of wangliang and chimei. I've barely scratched the surface of it but i'm leaving this piece of information here.

Regardless of what Biyun and Caiyun are, they are both siblings and under Shiji Niangniang's care. Their outfit designs will highly resembles hers as a result.

Caiyun could either be girl or boy and i tend to go girl. The same could be said about Biyun although I like the idea of Biyun being a boy. (That being said)

Caiyun is highly energetic and could match Nezha's excitement and Ao Bing's temper, although she won't be as violent as them because it's "so much dumber than she could ever be"

Biyun on the other hand is the most calm of the group and is usually the one who scolds them at the end for being dummies while tending their wounds. And I think showing him taking care of an egg is a good way to show it.

anyway I'm having fun drawing these wild kids ^^

[stalkyarsen-ebook]

to people who wants to see them happy, nezha is definitely happy right now

[stalkyarsen-ebook]

jobs at heaven. ao bing is pretty miserable and nezha doesn't really help.

oh yeah, nezha's blood is green or whatever a plant's blood looks like lol

[stalkyarsen-ebook]

Why's the boy so itchy? 😰

lore wise (in this version at least) is because, and i quote, he "cut off his own arm, disemboweled himself, and sliced his flesh off his bones to literally return them to his parents" then got a new body made out of lotus root instead of a normal human body. there's probably more perks than we think there is.

outside of lore is because I want to give a horrific aspect to the story and therefore I want to explore each characters mental health. There's already so much to explore with Nezha : his complicated childhood, his position as Fate's Executioner and basically being born different.

I also admit that I am indulging myself too tho I'm not doing this out of sadism. Dermatillomania is something I had to deal with (and I still do), but I don't see a lot of character in media that has this kind of problem.

Of course, if you aren't comfortable seeing any type of gore, light or hardcore, watch out for the warnings or better yet, don't interact at all for your own sake.

EDIT : while i'm exploring dermatillomania right now, it may not stay that way for the final project.

first time doing a loong dragon head *cough cough seahorses cough*

WARNING Skin Picking Below !

glass man is a first attempt at jiang ziya, i just had the feeling this kind of glasses would fit him but design is prone to change (especially since i read somewhere that he's either represented as an old man or as a man in his thirties or something. i really need to check things up) and i need to focus more on li jing...

[stalkyarsen-ebook]

couldn't resist

Random Cursed Thought:

-Not a 2019/2025 Oubing shipper, but really, for Oubing in general, "Fate says you two should get married" will actually be a perfectly valid, FSYY novel-accurate justification.

-Granted, the two "Fate Says So" marriages all suck in the novel. Thus, "Cursed".

-But, purely for plot and comedic potential's sake, imagine this:

-An Ao Bing that got seriously wounded, but didn't die to Nezha back then and subsequently joins the Jie/Shang side, and a more-or-less novel-accurate Nezha, facing off on the battlefields.

-The former, even with the help of his new sectmates and treasure, loses soundly to post-resurrection Nezha, and just when the latter is about to finish off what he started…Old Man of the Moon arrives to interrupt the fight, together with Taiyi.

"Don't kill the dragon, you two are destined for romance and marriage." "What the ever-loving FUCK?!" x 2 "This old man thinks Fate just wants to get even. The two previous marriages all have the girls end up getting the short end of the deal, so it's only fair that the third marriage are between two men and screws over them equally." (Deng Chanyu and Princess Longji in the background: "Oh, so you know just how UNFAIR our marriages are?") "Master, you can't be——" "Sorry, but the best I can do is making sure he's marrying into our side like that Hong Jin, instead of the other way around."

-Whether you want to make the subsequent development dark comedy (how does it feel like to be on the receiving end of "Fate Says So" marriage for once, huh, Chan Sect? Also, will they defy Fate by making the marriage...not suck for once?) or just dark (as Fate and the angst-lovers intended!) is up to you.

Hate me all you want Curse me seventeen hundred times Fate brought you back And I'll never ever leave your sides

cough i have been posessed by hateful poetry-

[stalkyarsen-ebook]

some more doodles - with comments cause i've got a lot to share... (note that its still concept and things are prone to change) so here are things i am considering

i very much envision Nezha fighting rollerskate style, i know there is a full arsenal at his disposition but i think it would be visually interesting to see him skate around. i'll try do some animation test when i'll have the time for it but right now, i'll just add protection pads. therefore his design will get an update.

first doodle of adult ao bing when he gets deified. showing it mostly for expression so yeah, very much pissed, very much passive aggressive, if he could kill nezha, he would and he ain't afraid of telling it. love the sass. i need to draw dragons as practice...

children from left to right : Caiyun, Nezha, Ao Bing (yes), Biyun. it's mostly a height comparison and testing dynamic... So yes Nezha and Ao Bing are childhood friends (if we can call it that) and yes probably Biyun and Caiyun would maybe join their group. I will work on a design for these two with Shiji (and other adults in nezha's life). Speaking of it...

Jinzha and Muzha ! Not. I hate this attempt. Love the attitude and the eyes but hate their designs VERY MUCH. AT LEAST it gives me a direction for Li Jing and his wife.

Finally...

...yeah used "Bing Bing" 'cause i saw some people used it and i mean. why not. yeah the dialog kinda sucks. i'm just testing grounds here TT-TT

UGH GOT A LOT TO SHOW YOU-

adult nezha and his lotus root body perks (ft Li Jing, we'll talk about him later when i have a clear idea of his design)

Doing Child Nezha researches, lots of hairstyle and no original outfits yet, this drives crazy.

yeah he has a more natural skintone than his adult counterpart.

Me overthinking about Shiji's disciples.

i am going insane
