Fangs of Fortune 𓆩𓆪 BingYi & Ying Long

“You endured the pain of breaking your horns and tearing your bones to forge this sword. You gave this sword to me and fought alongside me to kill demons. I can't do it.”

Bingyi - Fangs of Fortune

Whew. This one was a beast. It took just under 24hrs to draw over the course of a week or so. It really fought me in a lot of places and I learned a lot about fabrics and textures. Reducing anything down to a limited palette is difficult but this one. Yeah. I usually work dark to light but I tried a few different techniques here. The hair ornaments I did at least 3x - twice dark to light and once light to dark shades. It was a puzzle but I had fun and I’m happy with how it turned out!

Thanks to Lilla and Mith for egging me on and watching the show! I swear I’m going to finish it soon. It’s so good. Ugh.

Enjoy!

Bingyi and Ying Long are so king x knight coded in my eyes. Like what do you mean you gave up your BONES to forge a sword that will protect him for the rest of his life. What do you mean you want him And trust only him. To wield you in his hand. That you have such absolute faith that he will bring the world back from the brink of pure chaos so you give yourself willingly. You make yourself his weapon to make sure his enemies can't harm him. And then keep protecting his legacy for generations.

How are people not insane about these two. The devotion of making yourself an extension of someone's arm... The underlying desire to be one with him. One flesh and bones.

Do you ever think about how Cloud Light is activated by tears. And how much it must've cut up Bingyi to use it. Knowing it was the last part of his lover that he could keep close. Knowing that Ying Long singlehandedly rebuilt the sky with his gift of creation, but the world only remembers him as the monster that tore it down and betrayed his best friend. Like a weapon is all that Ying Long could be. And a weapon is all that remains of him
