Because the Taiwan Artistic Content material Fest (TCCF) concludes its fifth version, the occasion has reaffirmed its position as a big platform for the artistic trade on the island – and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. With a deal with collaboration and cultural illustration, TCCF 2024 dropped at gentle three key tendencies that mirror Taiwan’s evolving place within the world leisure…

“i think of you, and you’re here”

“Shattered”

Something something the key being a symbol of power and seventh nail being a symbol of death/wither and how WKX broke and throw away both thus subverting their meaning

That thing took me waay longer than I expected but hey! the longer you spend time on something the better it becomes. And also I learned how to draw wounds properly, definitely useful for future works :)

(and way more TYK designs below!)

Here it is! My personal designs of the (mostly) full TYK cast! What I mainly learned from this: TYK has a lot more characters than expected, haha.

My idea was mainly to get a clearer image, for myself, of all the people appearing or being mentioned in the book (and btw, a big chunk of the characters above died before the story even started and don't even get a line, but, you know...). One of my guidelines was, everyone has to look interesting, has to look like the main character of their own story. TYK is pretty much a story about side characters... so if noone is a main character, everyone is, no? (...does that even work? lol) Some of these designs were inspired by SHL, because it being the first one I saw, it of course left an impression in my mind. The rest is essentially taken from the few descriptions we get in the book, and my own imagination (plus some help from pinterest for the clothing). Rong Changqing is 100% inspired from @tbgkaru-woh depiction of him.

One noteworthy thing: the giant dog is too big. I thought it was supposed to be the size of a big horse, but it's actually the size of a pony... woops. Now, additionally:

The protags families! Wen Ruyu and Gu Miaomiao had to look heroic because that's pretty much what their characters are about. The traditional Wuxia story heroes that marked the legend. Conversely, the Zhou family has to be as plain and normal as possible, haha. ZZS says, in QY, that he's often called "Zhou San" (=Zhou three), which means he's the third child in his family. Since I like the idea of him being the youngest, I only gave him an older brother (who will inherit the position of head of the family and thus justify ZZS being able to leave for a shady remote sect) and an older sister. And as another bonus:

Hehehe. So these are... let's say, the men in ZZS' life, before WKX.

- Jiuxiao, of course, because I'm convinced ZZS had feelings for him

- Huang Xu, an OC developed with Bichen (son of a HLZ supporter, whose family ZZS infiltrated for a while --as Su Yan-- to try and sway them towards HLY's cause ((Su Yan's "Yan" is the same "Yan" as in Zhen Yan, just as a little nod to SHL))) - Zhu Ai, a magistrate OC, developed with Moose and Bichen, who's deeply infatuated with ZZS --only knowing him as that one guy who handles imperial guard watch tours and trains guards--

-and one guard I just like to imagine having a crush on him too. I started working on some guy from WKX's childhood too, but I feel like WKX's past is such a huge can of worms, I'll save all of that for later, haha.

pots and kettles on a double date 💕

Ahem! Now that I've got your attention, did you know that our boy Wu Xi is currently in the @/crown-and-scarf-tournament, competition for the title of the most beloved leader? And did you know he is currently losing by a very small margin (with 49.4% of votes for him)? he won another round since then, but is now having a real tough time? Well, now that you do, you can go and vote for him here. Love and snakes on planet Earth 🐍💚

"There’s no place like home,” I say bitterly, thinking about the violence and numerous horrors in the jianghu.

Idk what this is, I just want more A-Xiang/Wu Xi bonding

[orchidblacktea]

Biting as a love language

Chang Geng 🤝 Wu Xi 🤝 Wen Kexing

I love how every priest's gong I've read so far, is a biter 😁 the only difference is that Zishu is kind of into it, while Qi Ye and Gu Yun not so much 😆

Evil HB like: chibi pastel Xiyuan uwu 💕

And the challenge.

Thank you so much to everyone who told me what were my traits so I could know what not to do. Heheh.

It truly was challenging. Hopefully I won’t make anything like this again.

If there’s a next life, I’ll drink with you until we’ve had our fill. And we won’t go home until we’re drunk.

double date vibes 

because the alt text has a character limit, heres the quotes: 

For the Faraway Wanderers one: 

(Wen KeXing) “What...do you think makes a good person? Why do people have to be good?”

(Zhou Zishu) “Think about it. If you only rely on yourself your whole life, always being on guard against everyone else, having no relationships or anyone to care for you, wouldn’t that be too pitiful? It’s too miserable, being a bad person.”

For the Lord Seventh one: 

(Wu Xi) “Beiyuan.”

(Jing Beiyuan) “Hmmm?”

(WX) “In this life, you will be the only one in my heart. In the next life, and the life after. I will frever remember you, so long as my soul hasn’t scattered.”

(JBY) “I don’t know who I’ll be in the next life.”

“The head won’t remember, but the heart will. I must have said something like this is a past life.”

“I don’t...remember you saying anything like this in my past life.”

“Even If I didn’t say it for you to hear, I have recited it a million times as I watched your back.”
