reminder to breathe

[anniespositivity]

Look at you showing up even though your heart is heavy. Look at you pushing through even though you feel the sadness weigh you down. Look at you staying in touch with family and friends, taking care of yourself by eating, sleeping and making time for your hobbies even though the world feels like it is falling apart around you. Just look at you persisting despite it all, my love. Take it slow - baby steps every single day. Don't let these hard days discourage you. You are so much stronger than you think. And things will get better sooner than you can imagine. I am incredibly proud of you.

Back at it with the R.F. Kuang.

Only halfway through the first Poppy War book so no spoilers! Their faces have been burned in the back of my mind for a week and I needed to let it out. I wanted to draw how I interpreted them so far without looking up other art.

in chinese mythology the fèng huáng (鳳凰) and the lóng (龍) which are the closest thing to what we call a phoenix and a dragon are the most ancient and common representation of yin and yang. the phoenix embodies the feminine, transformation, renewal and justice. on the other hand, the dragon represents the masculine with its strength and power, and is often associated with the imperial authority. according to some myths, the phoenix and the dragon are celestial beings that fall deeply in love and act as guardians of cosmic balance, ensuring the harmony and balance of the material and spiritual world

Sinegard era!

Side note: what color is the sinegard uniform 😭😭😭 I made them white bc Rin mentions they made her white lore armband out of leftover uniform fabric + white makes the most sense for students?? But I have no idea

And finally, artwork for The Burning God, book 3 of the Poppy War series by the amazing R.F. Kuang. This was made for Subterranean Press's limited run of a special edition publication.

Hope you enjoyed the art!

Artwork done for Subterranean Press's limited edition of The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang. I really enjoyed working on this one, too. I love the ocean and bodies of water and stuff like that :)
