‘One Man's Treasure’ - A set worthy of love

Read the fic on AO3

Some habits are hard to break, even after millennia. Hua Cheng knows this best, as he always accompanies Xie Lian on his dumpster-diving adventures.

This set includes one raggedy fox plush, two poorly translated shirts, and a clean bin to keep things organised. The fox has already been taken care of, and his hand-embroidered eyepatch is removable to reveal Hua Cheng's signature red eye.

In honour of Xie Lian's scrap-collecting passion, everything in this set is made with recovered/recycled materials.

‘Your Package Has Been Delivered’ - These toys are not for kids!

Read the fic on AO3

Hua Cheng's packages keep getting delivered to his cute neighbour, which is all fine and dandy until some special toys get mixed in the mail! While Hua Cheng is the one who sees the contents of Xie Lian's discreet package in the fic, here we picture the opposite because Yaban's Doll Atelier can't afford Hua Cheng's modelling fees seeing Xie Lian's reaction in that scenario would've been very funny.

This set includes two labelled black boxes, two invoices, two receipts, one bottle of lube, a cock ring and the infamously dubbed "Colon Destroyer" with its remote controller. Hua Cheng did his best to conceal the fact that he opened Xie Lian's box, but you can see some traces of the debacle if you look carefully.

‘With Patience, With Love’ - A cosy set to eternal happiness

Read the fic on AO3

Hua Cheng is acting strange, and Xie Lian doesn't know what to think when he catches him lying. Deciding to trust him no matter what, his loyalty gets rewarded with a surprise made with the utmost patience and the utmost love.

This set includes a long ivory scarf, a thrifted mug that says "Coffee isn't my cup of tea", fairly lights, and 25 paper butterflies with the motives and colours described in the story.

The ByTheBi's Collection is an exclusive, ultra limited edition made for @peachylixir as part of the Puqi Shrine Secret Santa 2024. Happy Christmas, Peachy!

Yaban has two roots: the original in Japanese is 野蛮 (yaban) and it means "barbaric" or "wild". The second is Chinese 假扮 (jiǎbàn) and it means "to impersonate". Adding to that the powers of the character that inspired me to take the name in the first place, Ban Midou from Get Backers, my superpowers include: super strength, hypnosis/mind control, shape shifting and a berserk mode. Plus creation, whatever that means, lol. Not bad!

Open tag! Have fun~

zeekayart, with the power of phonetic pronunciation of letters, and general art snobbery!

I'm not even like deaf or hoh but if you're adding subtitles to something I think you should always transcribe foreign languages too. None of that [Speaks Spanish] shit. You don't need to translate it to english. But you need to at least give the option for a deaf person to read it and understand it themselves. I don't care if it's not important to the plot. I don't care if it's just them saying like Okay or Damn or whatever the fuck. Write it down

MXTX couples can't be separated, so here are the animal gongs to the animal shous I drew before: the extremely good boy Luo Binghe, sly Fox Cheng, and distinguished Hanguang Bun.

This DTIYS was originally meant for Instagram as thanks for 3k followers, but then I checked my tumblr and what a surprise! I got to 4k already? Wow! In that case...

Thank you all so much for 4000 followers!

Tumblr was my very first "social media" besides internet forums, and it still holds a very dear place in my heart. Mostly thanks to the amazing people I met there. ^^

Anyway, as this is a DTIYS, you can check out the rules under the cut if you wish to participate, I hope you'll have fun!

What is a DTIYS?

A Draw This In Your Style is a simple challenge during which an artist creates an illustration, and other people can redraw it in their own style! Go crazy, modify the poses, the interactions, as long as the core elements are there (the three mxtx protagonist with Xie Lian in chibi version), then it counts as submission!

How can you see our submission?

Simply tag me. ^^ As soon as I'll see your submission, I'll reblog it!

Is there a deadline?

Not really, but preferably before the end of 2023.

Will there be a reward/winner?

I don't want this to be a competition, and I don't have anything to offer. My only wish is for you all to have fun!

Thank you all so much for 4k followers! I hope you'll enjoy your stay on my blog. ^^/
