#qinni tribute

[rustic-space-fiddle]

Dear Qinni,

May you paint the starry skies with all the beauty and love and inspiration you showed in life. We love you, and we’re sorry to see you go, but you’re free now, among the stars. Rest easy and rest well.

Goodbye for now,

Rusty

I only discovered Qinni in December, a few days after her diagnosis. I fell in love with her and her art immediately, and I prayed for her as often as she came across my mind, which was often. It never really occurred to me that we could really lose her. The disconnect between the internet and real life obscured that possibility from my mind. Of course she would get well. People on the internet always get well.... right?

When I found out that she had passed, I was sad, like anyone would be when they heard of a death. But very quickly, I realized that her passing had struck deeper than I thought, and to my surprise, I cried for a good while, and days later it still hurts to think about. I didn’t understand: many people had died before, many from my church, people I had spoken to, even someone who had been in the hospital at the same time as me with the same illness as my own, but I hadn’t shed a tear. But Qinni was different.

Qinni was special. She inspired people with her bright, colorful drawings, with her glowing stars, shimmering fish, star-struck figures, and her stubborn resolve to get well and make the best of things, no matter the odds. Honestly, maybe her passing was most surprising because when she said she would get well, we believed her no matter how bad it was: nothing could beat her.

Even now, she isn’t beaten. Her earthly body wasn’t strong enough to stand this harsh world, but her the strength of her spirit was infinite. Qinni lives on through her art and the inspiration she brought to everyone who saw it. I know I’ll never be able to see a koi fish, crystal waters, or a blue whale without thinking of her, and whenever I look up at the sky at night, I know that somewhere up there, Qinni is composing a galaxy of glittering purples and firey stars and gentle waves, and that she can’t wait for us to see it.

After hearing of @qinni's passing I thought it would be nice to draw something as a tribute to her. Here's a piece I made that's heavily inspired by a lot of her artwork that I really liked. I didn't follow her closely but she still definitely inspired me a lot and will continue to, and was a really big and wonderful part of the art community. Rest in peace Qing Han, your art was absolutely gorgeous and your determination will always continue to inspire me. Thank you, and I hope you're at peace among the stars now. ⭐️✨��

In loving memory of Qinni 🐠✨

I want to thank Qinni for being such a huge inspiration to me when I found her art 5 years ago on Instagram. Every piece she made, came to life and was filled with magic that I still to this day, am still blown away by. She was a pillar stone to many aspiring artists, including myself and was the reason so many of us kept creating art.

Qinni was determined to get better and we all rooted for her recovery. Unfortunately, she left too soon. A survivor of 3 open heart surgeries and underwent 2 chemotherapy sessions. She fought long hard battles against cancer and she fought well.

Qinni will be dearly missed but her mark in the art community will forever be etched in our hearts ❤

May Qinni rest painlessly among the stars 🌟

Another more elaborate tribute to @qinni and for the project qinni.artbook.project on Instagram.

It's a beautiful project, which moved me for the participation of the online art community and I can't wait to see it done.

Its been about a month now since Qinni passed away and I wanted to do a redraw tribute of one of her works to remember her (since I had no time to do the #galaxiesforqinni at the time of her passing) she was such an influence to my work and inspired me so much I really miss her

Rest in peace Qinni ✨

May she rest in paradise...

Hello. I'm still reeling from the fact that @qinni is no longer here with us. She was a huge inspiration in my art journey and she had so much more to live for. It's really unfortunate that her life was cut short T_T

I hope she has found peace and happiness in the next life.

This is my contribution for  Deepeearts’ tribute to @qinni on twitter. Qinni has inspired me to try watercolor and she will continue to inspire myself and others. May she rest in peace.

This is my tribute for Qinni☄

You were a wonderful artist. Once upon a time, I saw your drawings and fell in love with them. I found you on Instagram and you were one of the first (or even the first) artist that I started to follow. Your work is magical. These amazing colors, plots, composition, characters, and most importantly - the emotions that you can feel in every work. It’s very inspiring. It was you with your works who made me love these colors of the night starry sky, the colors of space and distant galaxies. And I also started using them in my drawings. You were an amazing person. Despite all the difficulties that you met on your way, you continued to move on, smile and enjoy life, share optimism with others. You survived 4 open heart surgeries, but still continued to give warmth and smiles. Even when you got this terrible diagnosis in December, even though you were scared, it hurt you, but you continued to joke on Twitter and comments, you continued to post memes. You never gave up. You are an example to many people. You inspire thousands and thousands of people. This is a big loss for the art community, this is a big loss for your near and dear ones, this is a big loss for all of us. You will forever remain in our hearts, and your work will continue to inspire many more. Now you are free from pain and torment. Now the whole galaxy, the whole starry sky is at your disposal and you can create further. Have a rest, our little star🌟

With love, Julie 💔

(While writing this, I burst into tears again. I’m crying for 3 days and still can’t believe it, we lost her so quickly, faster than what the doctors said. Such a bright person didn’t deserve all this suffering. I am very sorry…)

A simple art tribute from last year, for Qinni, who had been a great inspiration for me for years, and will be greatly missed.
