ABCDMXTX - Day 12: Lan Zhan.

A friend gave me the idea of drawing Lan Zhan right after his punishment, and I ended up going a bit experimental and trying many new brushes.

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 11: Koi Tower.

I am aware of the fact the place is usually called "Golden Carp Tower", but listen, when you're making an alphabet prompt list, some letters are difficult to fill!

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 10: Jiang Yanli.

Yes, you're going into the lotus root and pork rib soup.

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 9: Items.

"What's on my sleeve?" post-timeskip Wei Ying edition.

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 8: Hua Cheng.

He's thinking about gege~

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 7: Guoshi.

Guoshi Fang Xin's mask and sword. I almost always stick to the default brushes, but I wanted to experiment with textures this time, and here's the result.

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 6: Feng Xin.

My little angry hyacinth~

I based his clothes on the donghua design.

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 5: E-Ming.

I made a reference to this image in my fic Let me see you (how I want to be seen), which is basically 9k words of tooth-rotting E-Ming loving hours fluff and Xie Lian dancing, lol.

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 4: Death.

I chose Wen Ning for this prompt because his destiny and afterlife are a good illustration of how, in the MXTX novels, death is more often than not a luxury that few characters can afford.

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 3: Creature.

Scum Villain has the coolest creatures and the Black Moon Rhinoceros Python is the best among them.

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 2: Ban Yue.

Ban Yue checks all the boxes of my personal preferences, to the point I couldn't believe she was a character made by someone else. Even our names are homophones!

Based on Starember's design.

List of prompts.

ABCDMXTX - Day 1: A-Yuan.

Yes, I know, 啊 (A- or Ah-) is a prefix and not part of Lan Shizui's name. I just wanted an alphabet prompt list and thought I could start it this way because he's called that a lot as a kid, and he's cute as a kid (as a teenager too, but that's beyond the point).

List of prompts.

Nothing quite like getting obsessed to ensure you'll get into the habit of practising. This kind of challenge is very arduous, but let's see how I do (and if this interests you, feel free to try it!)

Dinghai Love Week 2023 Day 2: Side character / Death.

Xie An, the man, the legend, who I didn't expect to like but here we are. I based his design on his first description on the novel. Also, spoilers without context, I guess.

My pieces for the fic After School Paranormal Club by sleepthief, made as part of the TGCF Minibang 2022.

Summary: 

"Hello, my name is Hua Cheng and there's a demon living in my right eye." It's his good grades, art talent and creative video pitch that got him the principal's okay to set up the After School Paranormal Club. But there really is a demon living in his right eye. And it's in love with gege!

High school AU in which the creepy goth kid is in love with the school's most popular jock. Pining ensues, as do curses, demons, hormones and midterms.

Dinghai Love Week 2023 Day 1: Chile Chuan Under the Yin Mountains.

Horses are a blessing and a curse for Dinghai Fusheng Lu readers and I didn't want to leave them out of the event. Here's Huleishan, pride of the Akele tribe, hanging out in Chile Chuan.

My piece for the fic the color sum by StarsinmyTea, made as part of the TGCF Minibang 2022.

Summary: Xie Lian, Mu Qing, and Feng Xin are finally moving in together. They've worked hard to build up their relationship and are wary of unbalancing that. But people change, whether they want to or not. Xie Lian develops a crush on someone for the first time in years, and he wonders how his boyfriends will react. Feng Xin has known for a while that he doesn’t like sex, and he’s afraid that saying that out loud will cause cracks in their life together. Mu Qing’s therapy isn’t working as well as he wants, no matter how hard he pushes himself. This is the day their relationship reaches a turning point, with their new home as witness.

It's the year of the water rabbit. It's the year of Wei Wuxian.

Hello, I'm Ban (they/them), and after four years or so, I find myself again on Tumblr.

I write and translate fanfiction, and I also do cosplay. I've lost count of how many times I've tried to pick up the habit of drawing just to drop it after a while, but anyway, I'm at it once more. As you can see, this time I'm mostly motivated by the author MXTX, whose good old ghost king Hua Cheng lives rent free in my head, but I hope to slowly delve into my other fandoms through this medium as well.

Glad to be back to the hellsite!
