You can tell when a new show has really rearranged my brain

washing your cat in the brush water because he managed to dip his tail in the ONE liquid paint you use

some practice pieces, prompted by the dmbj server! For heihua, fuba, kan jian/luo que, and of course pingxie.

you can really tell which details I like to paint most 😂 but I do feel like I’m getting to know these paints and what they can do for things like skin tones and layers of shading much better

thanks, as always, to the assistants, who mostly let me paint in peace but wanted to get in on every photo

Prompt 147 for Anon, “BingYuan & RanWan AU, Twin BingGe&Bingmei and Twin TXJ & MR 2.0” for @2haaction

Making some dumplings together!

prompt 318 for Anon, “ TXJ marry in public, while keeping ChuFei's face covered with a red veil” for @2haaction. Thank you for donating!

[catznetsov]

prompt 318 for @2haaction for Anon! Like TXJ I may be going mad with power/pearls. This is the first time I’ve really used pearlescent and metallic paints, and it was very fun

[catznetsov]

prompt 36 for @2haaction for serpentinerose! I loved drawing the twins and the chance to play with Kazakh embroidery designs

[catznetsov]

Two takes on Hua Bin'an wearing Dunhuang style female clothes with a veil prompted by Moonofdreams641 for @2haaction. Thank you for donating! This idea was endlessly fun and I’m sure I’ll be returning to it
