NEXT PROJECT: START!
I had to draw the chaos cat and the sparkly leech ever since I started reading the light novels while waiting for season three.
And of course, it ended up being Maomao finding herself some lotus roots while the ever-persistent Jinshi gets himself involved. I thought a lot about how to frame this and what to include.... and for once in my life, there is a lot of symbolism in my art. 🤣
Here are some medicinal properties of lotus roots:
Respiratory Relief: Raw lotus root juice or tea helps loosen mucus, clear chest congestion, and soothe coughs and asthma symptoms.
Digestive Health: Rich in dietary fiber, it is used to settle upset stomachs, treat diarrhea, and alleviate gastritis.
Stops Bleeding: The joints/nodes of the root are considered a potent astringent used to manage internal and external bleeding, including nosebleeds and blood in the stool.
Mood & Sleep Support: Ayurvedic and holistic practices utilize lotus root to calm the nervous system, lower stress, ease anxiety, and treat insomnia.
