Who did it better, Game of Thrones (2017) or How To Train Your Dragon (2010)?
“What do you want from me?”
“Everything.”

An assortment of hastily illustrated scenes from Bright Like the Sun. Please click THIS LINK to be taken to a full-size version (after that you’ll need to click on the image again to enlarge it). The obnoxious censor bars will also disappear then. ;)
I know, I know, I keep saying I’m not writing for this series anymore and yet now I’m… drawing…? for it? *massive shrug* I wanted these to be quick and rough and fairly simple, though even with that goal in mind I ended up sneaking in more detail than intended. What can I say, I draw the way I write & write the way I draw. Anyway, I hope y’all like these!
Laboring to his feet again, this time loaded down with Seunghyun’s added weight, Daesung tries not to think too hard about the task ahead of him. Bearing Seunghyun on his back is never easy… and now he has to do it uphill in the mud.
- Bright Like the Sun
“I love you. I’m never letting you go.”
- Seunghyun to Daesung, Dreams Like Ashes Float Away
The light of the moon is dim tonight, little more than a sliver in the sky, though the stars shine brightly as ever. But Daesung does not see them, the moon and stars in all their beauty blacked out by his sudden tunnel vision. His eyes are fixed on one thing only: an expanse of blackness before him.
He has reached the river.
- Dreams Like Ashes Float Away
[Seunghyun] and Daesung have established an inseparable bond, and the years stretch out ahead of them like paths in the wilderness waiting to be explored.
- New Heights, set in the Carnivores AU, although this drawing does not actually depict a scene from that fic, as what they are standing on here is meant to be more a grassy hilltop than a rocky cliff’s edge. Neato alternate version can be seen here.
If anyone is interested, this is mostly what I listened to while working on this. A beautiful piece by my absolute favorite band, Red. Who, like Big Bang, is celebrating their 10th anniversary this year.
The shoot is over. Seunghyun breathes a sigh of relief as he fiddles with the buttons of his cardigan and turns to leave the room. Rather predictably, he had pulled on his shirt and cardigan the very moment the photographer had OK’d it, not a second later. Seunghyun purses his lips and glowers at the floor. He knows his unfailing reputation for modesty precedes him by now.
In a flash Daesung is there, bounding over to slide an arm through his, linking them at the elbows and settling in at his side with his signature bright smile. Still bare-chested, shirt and jacket nowhere to be seen. The orange-and-black pigmented rosettes decorating the skin of his back and fanning out across the tops of his shoulders are fully on display. If Seunghyun is honest with himself, doing this shoot alongside Daesung had both helped and hindered him; Daesung is far more comfortable in his skin, spots and all.
With a physique like his, is it any wonder?
As they make their way toward the door together, Seunghyun pulls himself up and out of his silent brooding and turns to the man at this side, seizing this golden opportunity to admire the view. He isn’t subtle about it, dark eyes and dotted ears giving him their full attention. When it comes to Daesung, Seunghyun doesn’t do subtle.
As expected, under his appreciating gaze Daesung’s grin widens, smiling eyes crinkling up until they nearly disappear. His playful, breathy laughter that doesn’t quite manage to hide his “Hyung, quit staring,” fills Seunghyun with unrivaled light and joy. Nothing and no one can more effectively chase away his gloom.
Daesung was allowed– encouraged, even– to don his favorite pair of ripped jeans for this photoshoot, and the simple allowance has had a pleasantly positive effect on his mood, Seunghyun notes. They were told it contributed to that wild, untamed look that fit their kind so well. Perhaps there is some truth to that. Denim never survives long in Daesung’s possession, his too-sharp nails always snagging in the coarse fabric and inadvertently tearing jagged holes; an unfortunate side effect of his exotic ancestry. At least the damage is considered fashionable.
As fellow leopard kin, Seunghyun shares many of the same feline traits, including the sharp nails that are wont to grow out into something resembling a big cat’s claws if left alone, curved and needlelike and, frankly, hazardous. For this reason Seunghyun must maintain a strict adherence to his manicure regimen– necessary, really– and expensive tastes dictate that he handles his oft-expensive clothing with a bit more care than Big Bang’s second youngest.
He’s pulled from his well of thoughts when Daesung’s long, spotted tail, swinging behind the two of them in a lazy manner, bumps against his with a kind of casual, comfortable affection unique to the group’s two leopards. Arm in arm with his favorite younger brother as they accompany each other to someplace a little quieter, a bit calmer– where they can go back to being just themselves– Seunghyun links his own with it.
What is this??? It’s leopard Todae! Because I like cat boys and Daesung really loves wearing leopard print, like, a lot. Especially during this year’s China fanmeets. And sometimes TOP wears it too and then they sort of match and I decided… Todae as leopard cat boys. This should be a thing.
Also, I read a fic years ago in which the characters all had physical traits from various animals because somewhere way back in their ancestry a family member had interbred with that particular type of animal. And as problematic as that sounds, I thought it was an interesting idea. As long as you can suspend disbelief because of course it doesn’t work like that, and resist dwelling for too long (or at all) on the “Oh my god, someone at some point in history had sex with an actual animal?!” bit, then it’s at least a quasi-explanation for how the characters ended up with said animal features.
PS. This wasn’t supposed to have any angst at all, how did that bit o’ angst creep in there? You write what you like, I guess. I tried to cancel it out with some fluff.
Happy birthday to this handsome young man, beautiful both inside and out, and blessed with the voice of an angel! He is truly a gift to the world. We love you, Daesung. ❤
I was inspired upon seeing @mscggal‘s gifset of sweet, smiling Daesung just the other day, under which it was written, “He’s so precious. He must have been a unicorn in his previous life, magical~”
…I had to do it. It didn’t turn out quite how I wanted but that’s OK, say hello to unicorn Dae! :)
As Seunghyun’s gaze lingers on the fallen angel– on once impressive wings broken and bloodied, stained feathers stark against the white canvas of that morning’s freshly-laid snow– a peculiar emotion stirs from somewhere terribly deep and dark within him and begins clawing its way to the distant surface. It’s borderline cause for alarm, the unexpected awakening of this sentiment that contradicts the very nature of a demon like Choi Seunghyun… an ominous sensation that feels suspiciously like pity, dangerously like compassion.
Artwork based on an angels & demons AU that I mentioned in this post of mine and wanted to explore a bit.
The man on stage went white. Taeyang and Jiyong looked at each other, still not quite sure what was going on. Only Daesung’s soft, sweet and so broken voice reached through the ensuing silence.
“Save me, hyung.”
More art for the Big Bang fanfic Tower of Saviours by ThatDamnKennedyKid. This is MAJOR spoilers so if you’re at all interested in reading the fic for yourself, I’d suggest forgetting that you’ve seen this, heading on over to AO3, and digging into it right now.
While there were more than a few moments throughout this chapter that stood out to me, there was one detail that I found especially inspiring. It was written about Daesung that “part of his inner chest cavity had been frozen, along with his eyes, because they were closed and unmoving. He looked deathly ill.”
Held captive in frigid conditions, his eyes had frozen. Reading that immediately reminded me of a photo I once saw; it was a photo of a bobcat that had been frozen, and around the cat’s closed eyes had formed tiny ice crystals (if you’re curious the photo is here, but of course be warned that it is a dead animal). When I read that Daesung’s eyes had frozen, that was the mental image that came to mind– of sparkling crystals of ice decorating his lashes and fusing his lids together– and it was this minute detail that I built this drawing around.
Oh, and as for the glowing runes on TOP, some spell his name (kind of) and some (according to questionable sources on Google Images…) stand for sun, fire, and torch.
As always, thank you to the author for the art inspiration. <3
Just wanted to loosely illustrate a scene from the fic Tower of Saviours, in which siren!Daesung encounters an oil spill in the ocean.
I am sure this is not how the author intended him to look, but I once read a merman fic which described them as having sharp spines and fins, and razor-like teeth which they used to tear into and consume their human prey after luring them into the sea. Not at all the type of creature Daesung is in this fic, but what can I say? The imagery stuck. I was kinda thinking lionfish, even though this is so far from being an anatomically accurate representation of the fish.
Some days they hunt. On those days, if their combined efforts are successful, they have fresh meat and blood that is not just warm but hot, straight from the source. They hunt with tooth and talon and an agile cunning borne of equal parts instinct and years of experience, flushing out their prey and driving it to where the others lie in wait. There is nothing graceful about the takedown. It’s a messy and stressful affair for all involved, pinning the wretched animal to the ground by the throat until it suffocates. They wait, patiently but with hunger burning in their eyes, until its heart pulses and quivers and dies at last, falling into stillness.
That is when they feast.
