Another Heart of Stone episode so soon after the previous one... they're strictly tied and I wrote the draft for this together with part 5 which is why I felt the urge to bring it to life asap π
It's almost surreal to be finally drawing these pages because I had first thought about these events 1 YEAR AGO!! I still have 3-4 episodes in mind (they're rather long so I may break the events into multiple parts), then I'll have to start brainstorming for good because the rest is extremely vague right now!
Thank you everyone for the support as always!! A special thank you to two people who helped in the making of this episode... Keiki, for allowing me to take pictures of your super nice teapot for the first two pages of the comic! π And Elliot for offering to beta-reading this episode!! π§‘

I adore this AU!

2024-12-02 22:00:38 +0000 UTCIβd be in cardiac distress if baizhu looked at me like that too ππππ
Lindsey
2024-10-27 02:58:53 +0000 UTCNow I'm super intrigued...I love Changsheng's relationship with Baizhu, and I just bet she used to give him plenty of "advice" about his relationship with Zhongli back in the day lol

2024-10-25 22:45:39 +0000 UTCOmg yes finally they meet!! GUH!! The look on Zhongliβs face π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί

2024-10-25 22:05:34 +0000 UTCThat shocked Zhongli.....he will be living rent-free in my mind for ever. Never have I ever wanted to hug an archon saying "there there". And Baizhu! So prettyyyyyyyyy! Thank you for the most delicious feast for eyes!

2024-10-25 13:55:51 +0000 UTCYeSS!! Gosh I love how you pointed out all the relevant aspects of this episode π yes Baizhu has Changsheng's eyes, it's not random π
KiraShion
2024-10-25 13:37:36 +0000 UTCπ₯Ίπ₯Ίπππ he's got a glimpse of hope for his most previous thing he thought was forever lost π
KiraShion
2024-10-25 13:21:16 +0000 UTCYeeees you perfectly summed it up!! I wanted a way to show that Zhongli recognized present Baizhu as the reincarnation of his past husband Baizhu without overlapping them because it would've implied he's not actually /seeing/ or considering present Baizhu which is not the vibe I want to go with so yeah - bittersweet memory was the way π and the future is to be written ππ
KiraShion
2024-10-25 13:18:46 +0000 UTCContinua così perché stai facendo un lavoro sublime!!

2024-10-25 13:14:44 +0000 UTCAah sono feliceee!! π€²ππ Per me Γ¨ solo un piacere disegnare e condividere con voi, quando poi vi piace Γ¨ il massimo π₯Ί
KiraShion
2024-10-25 13:14:03 +0000 UTCAaah ancora sto riflettendo se e quando far sΓ¬ che Baizhu riottenga i ricordi della sua vita precedente... in fondo penso sia forse piΓΉ bello che Zhongli lo faccia innamorare di nuovo π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ§‘π mi fa tanto piacere che i volti siano espressivi!! Mi esercito spesso anche sul migliorare le proporzioni ma l'importante Γ¨ sempre far passare le emozioni π
KiraShion
2024-10-25 13:10:23 +0000 UTCYees I've often made some characters stick out of panels, this time I thought I overdid but I'm happy you like it!! Now I won't hold back haha Also Neuvi should just be thankful Zhongli did not spawn all his sparkly adeptal features out of excitement upon seeing Baizhu haha
KiraShion
2024-10-25 13:08:10 +0000 UTCI'm happy to always surprise for the better 𧑠maybe Neuvi's reaction will also be a surprise... π
KiraShion
2024-10-25 12:57:57 +0000 UTCHis heart is SCREMING the love for Baizhu but words still can't come out π
KiraShion
2024-10-25 12:53:32 +0000 UTCI am dying, the snake tattoo peeking over the collar of Baizhuβs shirt is awesome!

2024-10-25 05:56:49 +0000 UTCAlso I'm suddenly screaming like it just clicked to me that Baizhu still has Changsheng's eyes???
Clarice
2024-10-25 04:53:40 +0000 UTCHonestly same. Id start tweaking too if I saw someone as beautiful as Baizhu. I'm already so stoked for the next part. Gods they are so NHYFHJJVFTHVFG

2024-10-25 00:19:14 +0000 UTCAlso it's so cute that Baizhu immediately jumped into doctor mode. Not to mention I loved Mister Mora himself giving past!Baizhu shit about his inflated costs lol
Clarice
2024-10-25 00:07:19 +0000 UTCOh, the narrative contrast between them pretending not to know each other in the past with Baizhu really not knowing him in the present...it's so clever and funny and also so *sad*, but also great because they CAN get to know each other again π π π

2024-10-24 21:06:17 +0000 UTCthe reply was perfect and his "excuse" was also perfectly convenient π aaaaah I can't wait for the next part!!!

2024-10-24 20:59:39 +0000 UTCAaaaah so good. So lovely the deja Vu if only he knew β€οΈ I always jump with joy seeing a new episode of heart of stoneπ₯° I was about to sleep when I saw the notification and almost jumped Also the idea of neuvillette coming back to find zhongli go e would be hilarious π
Jelleebell
2024-10-24 20:55:33 +0000 UTCYou perfectly described it!! Just yesterday on Discord I mentioned how I wanted Zhongli to be wet for the encounter with Baizhu so his defenseless look with those puppy eyes would be enhanced π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί
KiraShion
2024-10-24 20:49:55 +0000 UTCI thought for long about what else Zhongli could reply to that question but what could've possibly come close to his feelings? And how hard would it have been to articulate words? So he only went "all good" just to relieve Baizhu's worried and give himself some extra time to fathom the situation ππ€²π That "darling" mayyy have broken space and time barriers π definitely contributed to making Baizhu believe he's confused, shocked even haha Dw for the carpet, Changsheng would probably still nap close to the window, in the sun haha

2024-10-24 20:17:24 +0000 UTCODDIOOO non vedo l'ora che Baizhu si ricordi di lui aiuto ma quanto sono amori β€οΈβπ©Ή adoro il modo in cui fai sembrare le loro emozioni cosΓ¬ reali Γ¨ stupendo π
Gaiaah04
2024-10-24 20:16:00 +0000 UTCThe pure SASS on Baizhu's face in that first panel. Also, I love the way some of the figures overlap the edges of the panels, it makes the whole thing feel more immersive(psure you've done it before, it just stood out to me more here???) And then, Neuvillette 2 minutes later: "Morax you had ONE JOB."

2024-10-24 20:15:39 +0000 UTC"tell me, what do you feel?" oh baizhu, if only you knew πππ aaaah and the throwback to their first canon convo, I'm losing my miiiiind!!! and he called him darling in the present??? sidenote: I really need a carpet in that hallway π€£ changsheng agrees
