Temple confession scene || Comparing versions

A comparison of the panels from this comic. First version followed by the final one.

The first version was drawn entirely last year, when I was suffering from postpartum depression and had a huge FOMO from not drawing and being active with my art. I was tired, depressed and stressed.

The second version is the fixing of the first one. It's rendering the lines and the shapes, perfecting the faces, making them less sharp and sketchy, fixing angles of face, changing facial features to...

❤️ A Very Shameless Love Confession ❤️

It's finally done! After one year of creating the original sketches, I finished this comic project!

I remember having a strong cinematic visual of this scene in my mind, where it's raining and Wei Wuxian is with his hair undone. And this is the outcome hehehe

I had so much fun with this! It was such a great experience to play with the expressions, the gestures, the movement, the angles. It was a learning experience for me.

I hope you enjoy the final piece as much as I enjoye...

Cover change!

The old cover from 2022 vs the new one from 2024. 

The color palette seems darker in the new one :O I genuinely don't know if it's really because my color palette changed or if it's because those specific drawings I chose are more dark/shadowy/at night.

anyways I think it's an interesting change! What do you think?

Also of course I wanted to update it to show the progress I made. I decided to start drawing with a thinner lineart. Now when I look at old art with a thick ...

AkuRoku 2024

I was working on a comic when some old school music started playing on my playlist and suddenly I got 2008 vibes, when I was 15, and just discovered shonen ai/yaoi, and Axel and Roxas were my first mlm ship! :')

How I wish I could go back in time 16 years back and show this to my younger self who lurked on DeviantArt drooling over the AMAZING ORGXIII art I saw there telling myself I could never reach their level and see how she (I?) would react haha

I think maybe I'll take a phot...

Pakhnokh font! 📝

The sketchy style of House of Gentians doesn’t go well with fonts I think, that’s why I always write the text myself. Just like the art, it feels more “raw”, more close to the hand of the artist.

But looking at the pages I can’t help but think that it doesn’t look that good, because the text appearance is not consistent and overall it doesn’t look that professional. It also takes a lot of time to write and style each word.

This is why I decided to make my own font, t...

Love

He repeated over and over again the words Wei WuXian said to him, his voice and his body trembling at the same time. Wei WuXian was almost under the illusion that he was about to cry.

After every sentence, the arm he wrapped around Wei WuXian’s waist tightened. Wei WuXian hurt from the embrace, but the arms he wrapped around Lan WangJi’s back tightened as well, almost making him unable to breathe. But still, he savored every moment as he wished to hug him even tighter.

Mentor Wei Wuxian

Reading the novel the second time without consuming the visual adaptations before, made me imagine Wei Wuxian in his second life a bit differently. I don't know why but my mind keeps on picturing him with a shorter, more fit robe, and visible pants + high boots.  I think the main idea behind it is that his legs are more seen, which I guess fits his agile and wild character. I especially see him like this when in his second life he's tutoring the juniors and shows his own fighting and mag...

Lan WangJi looked at him, as though he wanted to say something. Wei WuXian immediately added, “Fine, I know. No walking too fast, no speaking too loud, no this, no that, am I right?
Don’t worry. Now that I’m back with you, I’ll definitely be as careful as possible to not violate any of the sect rules on your Wall. As careful as possible.”

Back to posting art!

Hello dear patrons and free followers ❤️

January has began and so it means that, as promised, I’m back to posting art!

First of all I want to thank you so much for your patience, with me not being active for 2 months. Even though I stopped the billing, I can understand the frustration of some of you who decided to take your leave, and that’s completely fair, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the time you gave me support, and also for the fact that most of you decid...

Chapter 111: WangXian (Part One)

Lan SiZhui buried his head between their shoulders, “HanGuang-Jun, Senior Wei, I… I…”
Hearing his muffled voice, Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi exchanged a look, only inches apart. They both saw something soft within each other’s eyes.
Wei WuXian fixed his mood and put his hand on Lan SiZhui’s back, patting, “Enough, what are you crying for?” View Post

Billing paused for December

Hey guys <3

So  while I'm taking a break from arting, and busy with rereading MDZS, I decided to stop the billing, because you're here for the art, and it's gonna take a while (a month?) for me to return with new works 🙏
I will make the commentary of my reread public so all of you can still have a bit of Pakh!
If anyone's interested, you can read
if not, then wait for the return of my art 😊

Hi everyone!!

So just like I said, with the start of December I will pause my art making in order to "charge" myself by reading the novel again and consuming the adaptations ( I think I'll go with the donghua and the audio drama).
It's been 3 years since I read it so I start to forget things, and I want to read it again to regain those memories, love and emotion for the best story in the world, so that I could come back with new and better art for you!
And since you guys showed a...
