Day 4: Taboo

‘Makes one ache, makes one excited.’

Sketchy one for today 🫠🖤

[mooncakebun]

For the first day prompt of JunLian week on Twitter. (or is it X now? hahaha can't keep up)

I have been working on some art for this inspiring event for the past two months, so now let's see what I cooked.🙈 I'll be dropping my creations on here for the upcoming week.

This piece came to life for the prompt 'Gemini', and the keywords Sun/Moon.

I just love everything about these two.

Though tbh I got utterly confused by my own idea the more I worked on it since there is so much potential for this given theme, but in the end who represents which one? It was very interesting to think about. MNQ was referring to the crown prince of Wuyong as the one and only Sun, back then. And we all know what he became soon after. Oh god, my mind is so confused hahaha.

After my failed attempt at writing a proper caption, just leaving it here. :(:

(Special thanks to my great friend and coworker, who was listening to my endless suffering during work breaks while I was trying to bring them arts to life while managing work/life balance which we don't really have hahaha. This is for you, 🍞:))

My late submission for #junlianweek2024 Day 6: Heavenly music

/Masquerade

Inspired by the song & music video ‘Masquerade’ from the Japanese visual kei symphonic power metal band, Versailles.

I used to listen to them a lot in High school & immediately thought of this idea 😆

For JunLian week Day 2: Decree, Part II.

As I mentioned before, for this prompt I planned two illustrations, it just happened that it was impossible to meet the deadline with both (work and stuff hell yeah for being an adult) 🫠

I’ve worked on this piece for almost 2 months so no matter what, I wanted to bring it close to completeness. 🥺 With this, my set of drawings for the event is almost fully done.
