I'm so happy about the cover reveal!! Aaahhh!! Mimo did an amazing job!!!!

First off, I LOVE the color choices that were made here. Shen Qiao is already associated with light green-blue and white. The way he looks on the audio drama covers is more to my personal tastes, but I think this and the donghua design are well crafted. The dark trim on his sheyi (i think?) provides some contrast - you could say edge - on him and also make him a little more recognizable among the sea of pretty danmei men dressed in white or pastel blue/green with middle parts and top knots. Yan Wushi's donghua design is awesome and iconic, but I think making him look more like he did on the original Chinese covers works better for a few different reasons.

For one, the dark blue of his clothes contrasts nicely with the pale shades on SQ, but the similar tones instantly tie them together visually.

I personally think YWS this design with the high ponytail has a bit more of an imposing, stern aura. And as much fun as the donghua design is, I think it fits better for that softened version of him. Book YWS is a little scarier, and this design reflects that.

To bring it back to color: I think they're set up pretty cleverly. Blue and orange contrast nicely bc they're complimentary to each other, orange being very warm and energetic and blue being calm and cool. Orange is also a very autumnal color - I know "Thousand Autumns" doesn't refer to literal thousand autumns but I think it's neat and it works. It captures the weirdly cozy vibes I got when I read this book.

Both SQ and YWS have abilities with water associations - the Canlang Sword Style and Chunshui Fingering respectively, so again, I like the blue tones on both of them. I think in Chinese culture water is actually more associated with black lol but both of them also have black on them so *shrugs* still works for me.

Some other things i like: I assume that gorgeous background is Xuandu Mountain or more specifically Banbu Peak, which. Yes. Literally that just has to be on the first and last volumes. It's just right.

YWS is holding the Zhuyang Ce! AND HE HAS HIS WRINKLES BACK! YES! I adore this shitty, slightly crusty man.

There's a little bit of water at the bottom, which is appropriate as I said. Also I'm a sucker for this style of - well, stylising water. Idk the whole illustration looks like they might put some gold effects on the letters and some of the background?

I wonder what other symbols they'll put on the spines of the following volumes... SQs bamboo stick makes sense for this one. Are they going to put a deer face on one of them? That would be kinda funny ngl

@artzstack

Send me artwork!

I love art and I love looking at art. I went so far as to get a degree in art history simply so I could look at art and learn how to talk about art.

Unfortunately, one thing my professors really drilled into my head is that all artwork has merit. I once made a comment about a renaissance work along the lines of "that looks like someone described a horse to the artist but he had never actually seen a horse in person." My professor was like "think of cave paintings of horses, would you describe those artists the same way? No, because you understand that skill level varies person to person"

It's reached the point where I no longer really see the "bad" aspects of artwork, because I understand that what *I* think is weird looking is based on my own biases.

So, Send Me Art! It can be your own art! It can be existing art! It can be your friend's art (but make sure they're okay with it first)! You can make a doodle of a flower and send it to me! Send me your favorite work of art! Send me your least favorite work of art!

And I'll tell you my Certified Art Historian Opinion about it and explain why the work is historically significant and good. Guaranteed, I will not insult your art. I won't criticize your skills. I may talk about a part of the work that you don't like, but it Will Not be "this part is bad." It will be "this part is cool because [interesting thing I learned at college]."

I'll be your ultimate hype-man.

Or, if it's just a piece of art you don't understand, I'll explain it if you want. My best friend hates Klimt's "The Kiss" and that's okay, because that's what art is about.
