redraw of this piece!! i mentioned in that post that i would redraw it at some point and ig that time is now! (i meant to post this before id2 came out but i got really busy so y'know lol better late than never)
i like to think i've improved! still can't draw chairs though haha
side by side comparison under the cut + rambly artist commentary(?):
i still have a long way to go in learning proper anatomy but i think the new pose looks a lot more natural and comfortable! also ~sexier~ perhaps
i tried to make the bg look closer to the actual cg they used in the book, i am arguably better at doing backgrounds now i think! i used to not put a lot of thought into it and just blocked out random shapes and called it a day (okay, i still do that now lol but i put more care into it now !! i try to make the shapes a bit more distinct and actually plan and sketch it out rather than draw some blobs and hope for the best ldkfkhsl). also more colour range(?) to give it a bit more depth!!)
i'd also like to add that i think i'm also better at figuring out compositions now, idk how it is for y'all but when i look at the original my eyes can't help but just fall to the centre, bc there's no focal point(?) or anything that's visually interesting for the eyes to land on. plus with the way it's structured, my eyes just naturally fall to center (+ bottom half bc the skin showing through the rips are bright in contrast to the black) >_> in contrast, in the redraw your eyes are automatically drawn to the face bc it's arguably the most interesting thing on the canvas and thus acts as the visual anchor of sorts (plus there is enough contrast with the background to make cas stand out instead of blend in)
even though i cringe looking at the og i can't help but to also feel endeared bc this was one of the first immortal desires fanart i ever did and also one the first of my posts to do really well! i never expected to get that much attention since i was only posting casually but it really warmed my heart reading all the lovely comments and motivated to draw more :D
it's also really fun seeing how much my art style and techniques have evolved! i don't think i use any of the same brushes i used to use for my old pieces anymore now haha. i also watched the timelapse for the old one and am honestly kind of in awe at how my different my drawing process used to be!!
i still have a lot to learn (esp in terms of anatomy, lighting, shading etc.) but i'm happy with where i am rn! the great thing about being a hobbyist is that there isn't really any pressure for me to improve quickly so i can just take my time haha (except maybe from imposter syndrome but that's neither here nor there)
i think i could've drawn his face and expression a bit better but i think this is a satisfying enough redraw for now!
btw, these are just my thoughts! i am not an art student so the things i said might not be technically correct but this is how i make sense of things in my brain

[CN] MLQC Lucien’s Sweet Scheme ASMR translation
⚠️ SPOILER ALERT!! ⚠️
This post contains a detailed spoiler for an ASMR that has not been released in EN yet! Feel free to notify me if there are any mistakes in the translation~
T/N: The ASMR name 蜜谋 (mìmóu) consists of two characters: 蜜 (mì), meaning "honey" or "sweet," and 谋 (móu), meaning "plan"/"plot"/"scheme". In this ASMR, it refers to Lucien scheming to get punished (and also the other way around) LOL
⚠️ This ASMR is NSFW and NOT suitable for individuals under the age of 18 due to its sexual nature. It is recommended that those who do not meet this age requirement refrain from proceeding beyond this point.

GDrive link [soon]
Transcript under the cut~
[Transcript]
[sounds of door opening + clinking of things]
I'm back.
Mm
Today's experiment
went much smoother than I expected,
so I came back early.
Just in time,
I also wanted to see you sooner.
Hmm?
What are you doing
Are these… gems?
[chuckles] I have only heard about it on the phone before
when you were filming a jewelry show
you bought a very beautiful emerald rough
[the fact that the emerald is still rough is important for the later part because it means that the edges are sharp and can cause pain-]
I just didn't expect…
there to be so many.
There's only one,
and the rest are candies?
[chuckles] So that's how it is
If I find the gem,
will it and you both belong to me?
It seems that
this is a "test" for me from my little lady.
Of course, I am willing to accept all your challenges.
However, before we begin,
I would like to understand the rules of this game.
For example,
how many chances do I have?
Or…
if I guess wrong,
what will the punishment be?
[the way he said it… man is looking forward to the punishment🤪]
Hmm?
You want to keep it a secret for now?
[chuckles]
Okay
Then…
[Lucien reaches out his hand to pick up one of the "gems", but is held back]
Am I not allowed to pick it up,
and can only observe it here?
[chuckles]
Fine
Then…
I'll choose this one.
Hmm?
Did I guess wrong?
Alright
Then can you tell me now
what the punishment is?
Close my eyes?
[some rustling noises in the background as he is being stripped open-]
[LUCIEN'S HEAVENLY PANTING AS HE'S BEING PUNISHED-]
…although when you stripped open my clothes
I probably knew what the "punishment" would be,
the "gem" you just placed on my back
is even a little colder than I imagined.
This little lady looks a bit disappointed…
Hmm?
[chuckles]
Because I don't look surprised?
Maybe it's because,
when I guessed wrong, the mischievous look in your eyes was too obvious.
[T/N: he affectionately uses the title “little classmate” (小同学); I'm using ‘you’ for better flow~]
However
Compared to my back…
The waist areas around ribs,
and lower abdomen below navel,
are densely populated with nerve endings
and are much more sensitive.
[some DELICIOUS soft moans as he’s being punished in those places-]
[breathlessly] These areas
might better achieve the effect you desire.
[hell yea I sure wonder what kind of another ”””effect””” she's looking for-]
[chuckles]
Then…
I'll continue guessing
[chuckles]
This piece has a cooler color
The cracks in the crystal are also more natural
It seems to be the one
Did I guess wrong again?
I didn't expect this game
to be more "challenging" than I imagined.
[sigh]
It seems this little classmate is going to win another round.
Bring it on.
[chuckles] You can use a bit less force.
Otherwise,
the stimulation felt by the nerve endings
will be overshadowed by other sensations
[other sensations here might refer to pain caused by too much force… pain play doesn't work as well as temperature play on him due to him canonically having an absurdly high pain threshold and is less sensitive to pain]
Just like this…
[Lucien takes one of the “gems” and runs it on her body]
Hmm?
Did it feel cold to you?
I just think that
personally experiencing this feeling
will help you do it better.
[I think he doesn't mind the pain itself, BUT if you want to give him ‘better’ punishment, focus more on the temperature play🤪]
[chuckles]
Sorry
the way you opened your eyes wide just now
was really cute.
It made me want to be a bit more "excessive."
The one I have in my hand
should be the emerald you asked me to guess.
Of course, it can't be wrong
In the emerald ore,
there are some granules and textures
Moreover
emeralds are called beryls
and are mostly in the shape of hexagonal prisms.
When you were preparing the show,
I also secretly "stole" some knowledge from you.
Did I guess wrong on purpose before?
You caught me.
Within the rules,
experiencing everything the game has to offer is what makes it enjoyable, right?
[chuckles] Don't get distracted,
look,
the candy in your hand is already starting to melt.
Although this beautiful and translucent gem
is also very captivating.
To me,
the candy in your hand is more attractive.
[sounds of him rolling the candy to his mouth and licking the melting sugar on her hand]
Although it looks just like a gemstone on the surface,
it's sweeter than I imagined.
It has a bit of a green grape flavor.
Miss Producer,
haven't you tried it yourself?
Then…
[kissing noises as he ‘shares’ the candy sensually]
Let's share the fruit of this "victory" together.
[MORE delicious kissing noises before it fades away. With him being stripped off, I think we all know where this is going iykwim-]
