#Dinghai Fusheng records

[jjands]

I aspire to be one of those artists who obsess over a ship, thus gradually improving their anatomy and general art skills by drawing the said ship exploring each other's bodies every day

[talk-danmei-to-me]

Pondering whether I should start treating 7 seas danmei translations like pokemon and y'know buy them all.

tracking #cnovelartreblogs

do you make art for a smaller Chinese fandom - danmei, baihe, non-queer book, cdrama based on a book, or even cdrama NOT based on a book?

do you wish more people who are interested in smaller Chinese fandoms could see your work?

tag #cnovelartreblogs when you post, and I'll see it and be able to queue it to reblog to this blog, which currently has about 500 followers specifically interested in all kinds of less-popular-in-English-speaking-spaces Chinese fandoms! while I focus on danmei, I absolutely will reblog all the categories listed above - any type of ship, from books or shows, as long as the fandom's source material is from China!

if you're not sure what qualifies, I encourage you to visit the blog and get a general idea from the massively out of date but still basically accurate aside from the old part pinned post!

I politely request that artworks for mxtx fandoms NOT be tagged with cnovelartreblogs! I check the main tags for those fandoms every day, as long as you use those tags I should see your work. #cnovelartreblogs is intended to help me find works from smaller fandoms that are often difficult to collect. I will block people who abuse the tag and make my life more difficult, so if you put things there that don't belong, your work won't get reblogged at all, so please respect my request and don't waste my time.

thanks advance, everyone! I look forward to seeing all the things you've made!

PLEASE REBLOG TO SPREAD THE WORD! People in small fandoms can be hard to find and I'd like to cast a wide net. <3

Sneak Peek: Winter/Spring Danmei

For those intrigued what I’ll be spoiling and reacting to over the next 6 months.

- Winter of Danmei

Looks set to be me fawning over Meatbun as per usual 😉

I’m also going to read Guardian and Lip and Sword since I know for sure I will blitz 3 of those books in like 4 days at most.

- Spring of Danmei

A.k.a the month of Fei Tian Ye Xiang!

And then we’ll be back to Summer when it’ll be time to celebrate my 1 year anniversary as a Danmei blog!

Seven Seas Entertainment:

A historical fantasy set in an ancient China where magic has been nearly extinguished, and two young men must work together to prevent the destruction of all life. It has been three hundred years since magic disappeared. Chen Xing is the last exorcist—the only one with any remaining vestiges of spiritual power—tasked with unsealing the spiritual qi of Heaven and Earth before Mara descends and brings ruin to the world. But Chen Xing needs a Protector for his journey, and the one fate leads him to is death row convict Xiang Shu: handsome and capable, yet accused of massacring two thousand people! With each life claimed by war and disaster, calamity draws inexorably nearer, and dark forces seem determined to hasten its approach. Chen Xing himself has less than four years left before his life is destined to end. He has no choice but to put his trust in Xiang Shu…that is, if his supposed Protector is willing to cooperate at all.

So you know those moments when your like hyperfixated on something, but it’s got like a small fandom and so there is like no merch or anything, which like sucks! Of course that is me right now with Dinghai, like I’ve already preorder both manhua volumes but the preorder for the actual novels isn’t available yet, and like there’s nothing on Etsy or anything (like seriously I have found the sets of Chinese novels on AliExpress and some can buttons on mecari, that’s it). So I don’t know about anyone else but in those moments my adhd has the audacity to be like well we will just make our own shit. So for the starter I decided to take an old Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan figure set and attempt to repaint them, so like I wanted to show my progress. I’ve never like painted small figures before (I love dnd but the idea of painting mini figures scares me) so like they aren’t great by any means and I still have to add another coat and some detail stuff as well as touching up and accidental paint spots on their hands and faces, but so fair I think they are turning out pretty ok!

Like they aren’t great or anything and in an ideal world I would have used a san lang and Xie Lian figure set, but it would have to be specifically San lang and not hua cheng because a) need a pony tail and b) the eye patch, and I only have ones of hua cheng so that was a no go, but I think they are turning out pretty alright! I was basing them more off their manhua designs, or at least used them as inspiration!

Like once i finish another coat then I’ll do the hair beads and the little crown thing (hot glue has been great for this) but I feel like for a first time project it’s not turning out to poorly!

A note on the Bilibili comics situation lest my optimisim gave anyone hope:

nope, it increasingly sounds like the announcement DOES include the app, it's just worded badly and for whatever crappy reason they decided not to tell people who exclusive use the app (my guess, the reason is money: people won't top up coins if they know the app is going away).

Reasons I say this:

The official Bilibili Discord has announced that the app is closing.

I found out someone I know through fandom does translation for the international app, and while I don't have permission to give disclosures of what they said (they did NOT say the app is closing, to be clear), what they told me also supports the conclusion that the entire thing is going away.

My hopefulness and careful reading has not been rewarded; sounds like they're just very bad at giving announcements. Why am I not surprised?

Anyway, definitely is time to read up on anything you were hoping to finish and save your faves. Here's my read/reading list. Some of these I'll DEFINITELY be looking for alternate sources for, and I may pay to finish Kiss the Abyss before the app shuts down at the end of February.

...or it's time to suck it up and start just reading stuff in Chinese. I'm not really good enough yet but when else am I gonna learn?
