Hi bluesky gang! I’m an #OC artist/writer that cannot stop tapping about my oc lore

Been wanting to switch to mostly oc content so I suppose this is good enough as a new start!

The sounds of life speak to me— from the breath of wind to the movements of all creatures.

The sun on my face and the open plains beneath my feet. I believe that there is no greater bliss upon this earth.

Just realized my last two posts were both star/moon scenes… im so predictable…

Also been drawing ruohan/qingyun/mengshen more lately which made me realize… man my designs are very samey and while I say I don’t like green . Apparently I use green in a lot of designs. Maybe I do like green…

In shadow, like a lone-wandering wildgoose,
Or a water-plant in autumn, torn from my root,
Gazing at the moon, my tears streaming down
Hearts in five places, all sick with one wish.

The god of dreams, who betrayed the wishes of humanity, welcoming an eternal nightmare.

Not that anyone really sees my posts but i want to keep a record of my art and I'm finally in a headspace where i dont mind that being public. Really grateful i left a group (one person tbh) that made me feel like that so intensely

Might start posting my own artwork again, I'm feeling a lot better about my work nowadays. I think i genuinely enjoy drawing again. Also the new procreate brushes are kinda banger

There are no words to sum up my longing for the stage. I would only tarnish it with my bloodied hands, and yet I cannot bear to stand below it.

For a moment, I dared to harbour a single wish– to guard this precious ray of light forever; to be that person you thought me to be.

Happy Birthday, Qiu Yun!

Ah, I wasn't expecting a visit today– regardless, I'm happy to see you.

...a gift for me? No, I appreciate the thought, it's just been a while since I've celebrated my birthday.

Look, the flowers are in full bloom, shall we go on a walk?

I still receive inquiries about this old art T-shirt... This is just something I wrote on a whim, so it's not a real shirt. I think someone should make it….? #oc

Okay back into hibernation for three months until I remember bsky exists

I could yap about Qiu Yun for ten years. I think him and the surrounding lore/worldbuilding is some of my favorite I’ve done. 🫠 I’d love to finish a comic of him (in my drafts rn) … my general … (I need to finish my other mini comic in lining phase first) but I am actually thinking of him. Free me

My dear general, the world is too cruel to those who want to change it.
