Happy Chinese New Year 2026! 🎆

Here's another Hanfu AU piece featuring young Dalinar and little Adolin/Renarin, with them wandering through a bustling lantern festival. What they’re watching is a Zoumadeng (走马灯), a perfect match for the Year of the Horse! 🐎 These traditional lanterns use the heat from a candle to make an inner shaft rotate, creating the illusion of paper horses galloping in circles.

I really like drawing heartwarming moments for the Kholin family. I hope your new year is just as bright and full of warmth as these lanterns! ✨

The second piece serves as a costume study. Their look is inspired by Ming Dynasty winter wear and military attire—a perfect fit for the Kholin vibe!

I also wanted to share my design for this year’s CNY red envelope! It’s included in the new year community gift pack. It was a fantastic experience blending Cosmere with traditional Chinese symbolism XD (More under the cut.)

The design incorporates stylized horse motifs inspired by the musicspren from Stormlight Archive, with the Cosmere logo in the middle, integrated with copper coin and begonia patterns (symbolizing blossoming wealth). I also fused the Dragonsteel logo with Han Dynasty dragon art to symbolize “The spirit of the dragon-horse” (龙马精神), representing vitality and spirit for the new year. (You can spot this pattern woven into the background of my main piece!)

Later pics are some couplets written by local fans. Thought they're quite interesting and just collect them here.

he's a horse girl. he's knows everything there is to know about swords and will talk about and to them for hours on end. he has saved the world with the power of friendship on more than one occasion. he once went to jail in solidarity with a friend. he helped create therapy and has no idea. he fought off a kind of immortal guy with a candelabra. he regularly talks to multiple talking swords. he's one of the best, if not actually the best, duelist of his age. he's an amazing tactician and no one talks about that. he's got daddy issues. he thinks about his friends all the time. he makes a conscious effort to learn everyone's name. he respects trans rights. he's a slut trollop at best (worst?). he once investigated a murder he committed. he's an amputee and has a prosthetic foot made out of talking armor. he turned down being a king and is now an advisor(?) of another nation. he has a complicated relationship with the idea of fighting. he fought off 20 men with only his talking sword and horse for help and won. he is so incredibly determined. he loves his wife and her alters very very much. his love for his friends has had a huge effect on the world. I didn't say his name but you hopefully know who i'm talking about.

Happy birthday, Wei Wuxian! “The question,’ she replied, ‘is not whether you will love, hurt, dream, and die. It is what you will love, why you will hurt, when you will dream, and how you will die. This is your choice. You cannot pick the destination, only the path.”

― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer

Old and new! I drew this original piece back in 2017 and I decided it was time to update it~! Here is the new version of Dance of the Mistborn, which features Vin and Elend from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. I had a lot of fun working on this, and was brave and gave Elend some facial hair. XD

This is probably my most requested art print, but because it was originally drawn traditionally on speckly paper, I couldn't print it larger than 8x10 inches. So I wanted to do an updated version so it could be printed at a much larger size. (And my art was better. Haha!)

This piece is now available as a print over on my store! Use the code HOLIDAY2023 to bet 15% off your order!
