Okay last Dlzs X Twst post today 😔

12 Star/Zodiac dragons in what I think their twst dorm would be. Also I made it so at least one dragon is in the same dorm as their dragon warrior (because they're their guardian) (I feel like it would be kind of silly if they weren't lol ^^)) so it's not super spot on ^^'

English name localization ideas

Shoutout to this post by encyav for inspiring this idea!

I've been tinkering around with the idea of giving English names to the main six kids. (This is NOT affecting the youtube translations, those will stay as pinyin). This is just a hypothetical what if there was like a English 4kids dub of the show? What would they change the names to? I took the character's full names into account, and localized them based on what English name sounds the closest. Also I'm not giving them last names.

安小达 An Xiaoda -> Andrew 天乐 Tianle -> Tyler 王美含 Wang Meihan -> Megan 欧阳零 Ouyang Ling -> Lynn 欧阳坤 Ouyang Kun -> Quinn 路子园 Lu Ziyuan -> Lucy 路子涛 Lu Zitao -> Luka

Explanations below:

Tianle is a fairly common name and I've seen it translated into Joy, but Joy is a very common female name. Also, I just don't think it fits him very well. Tianle's not a very joyous character, and he's not the typical happy-go-lucky protagonist like other shows. Tianle is a very self-centered character with moments of humility, and I just don't think a simple name like Joy fits him.

For 00, Lynn is a gender-neutral name, although it skews quite a lot towards being used for girls. I debated between Lynn and Lin, but technically Lin is a Chinese name and this is a hypothetical what-if-English localization so Lynn it is.

On the Baidu wiki, some person gave the six kids English names that I'm 80% sure is not canon, but whoever came up with Lucius for Ziyuan is awesome. Lucius is a three syllable name that pretty much matches with the pronunciation of Lu Ziyuan as well as meaning "light", it's just such a perfect match! The only problem is that it's a typically masculine name, but I think it sounds pretty gender-neutral. And if she is hypothetically named Lucius, then Zitao can match with Lucas, which stems from Lucius! But ultimately I think Lucius is too fancy of a name and doesn't match with the others, who have more modern names, so I've chosen Lucy for her (which still stems from Lucius!), and Luka for Zitao to match.

didn’t quite expect to see dlzs fandom here

gonna post some of my old arts from 2024 since I haven’t drawn much recently, and im kinda jealous of my old artstyle lol (I didn’t post them here before i think)

双鱼&射手+巨蟹&白羊 for an 十二星龙 event i hosted for Chinese Yuan Xiao Festival 2024

Been drawing these trio these paw few days and really hoping to see more official contents of these sillies. (Im begging pls)

This is the effect of getting attached to characters from a super niche show ig

i made a DW oc recently, been having this idea in the back of my mind since I've been researching constellations for my own personal project.

might put this fella on artfight idk

Also I've been calling them Orphie so that's their nickname now :)

I found the drawing of Tianle in the Twst style. I learnt a lot from this. I also figured out why soo many people hate doing lineart.

The twst style is soo clean and has soo many textures 😭😭😭 I was actually thinking of drawing the dlzs main six in this style, but after drawing one I went "Yeah, no. Thats not happening" gave up and drew them all in my "normal" style. 😭😭😭
