Hi, I was wondering if you perhaps knew what the pretty round fans are called that the girls in a lot of these photos have? They're so pretty!

Hi, thanks for the question!

Those pretty round fans are called “tuanshan/团扇”. Please check out my “tuanshan” tag for information and photos. In particular, Mingsonjia has a really informative post on tuanshan here.

Also known as the “rigid fan” or “fixed fan”, the tuanshan is made of cloth (usually silk) stretched over a frame, or of woven bamboo threads. The cloth is often painted or embroidered with natural imagery: flowers, birds, butterflies, scenery, etc. The handle can be long or short.

Tuanshan are usually round (they were originally shaped to resemble the moon), but they come in many different shapes.

Here’s a nifty graphic showing some of the shapes tuanshan come in, each with its own name (via): 

Hope this helps!

Daud, Knife of Dunwall, unfinished, oil on canvas

...well, accfually, that is digital art through and through.

I started painting this work somewhere in 2024, and never finished it.

I wanted to make it look as if it was a real oil painting in the flesh, and I pained myself with imitating the process, the washes and each textured brush stroke by hand.

I also am very grateful I finally, 12-13 years later, was able to capture Daud's face... My skill used to pain me so much I never did any Dishonored fanart. despite my love for the first game and my unyielding devotion to Daud's DLCs.

Somewhere here will be the link on How Have I Done It, Step by Step:
