#bai meizhen

[dazzelmethat]

I wanted to draw a snake and a girl, the gay snake girl obliged. Here's another interpretation of Bai Meizhen.

Having followed this story for a while, and vicariously learned more about the xianxia genre, Forge of Destiny denies or reverses many of the traditional xianxia tropes, preferring to change the system from within rather than declare vendetta after vendetta.

Forge of Destiny is a slightly more traditional xianxia cultivation novel, but the characters are mostly badass young ladies getting sweet powers and striving to protect their own and maybe change the world.

There's a discord and a good amount of side content associated with it. Lots of world lore.

Forge of Destiny perks and merch

The tote is actually a really nice sturdy little bag with vibrant color printing. I got the Bai Meizhen one!

Also, there are patron-only short story collections worth reading.

Can’t believe Ling Qi rejected such a cool, jade-like beauty...

I love your Meizhen! She's so much softer than the other fanart I've seen.

Forge of destiny has a lot of cool girl characters. Here is my interpretation of my two favorite characters Bai Meizhen and Gu Xiulan. It's fun to try and design a character based off of what is written in a book. It really makes me think.

[dazzelmethat]

heyo, i shared your Bain Meizhen and Gu Xiulan fanart on the Forge discord (i linked to your tumblr, not just reposted it) and the author liked it! as did several other people too, including me ofc!

Oh my gosh! Thank you for letting me know, that is so cool!

I have one more book to read before I'm all caught up. Li Suyin is also a favorite of mine so I might end up drawing her too.
