The night they first met.

And lo, I finally finished the thing I previewed back in January.

I think the final version would push tumblr's limits even with a community tag so here's the coy crop. Full version on ao3

i mean what else is there to do after one defeats the Xuanwu of Slaughter ?

hot take lan wangji would absolutely for sure scrap all day every day no hesitation whatsoever. the only reason he doesn’t is bc no one is stupid enough to piss him off (until wei ying ofc). you get one glare, maybe two if he’s feeling patient, and then it’s instant hands. truly a miracle wwx did not take more of a beating when he was at his most insufferable. in the library w the magazine lwj literally said catch me outside so i can beat ur ass. he’s soooooo ready to challenge any and everyone he meets. jzx (either of them tbh) says literally Anything and bichen is OUT. blades at DAWN. AND noon. and you know what, fuck it, blades at dusk too. in middle school he fought wen xu and all his goons One time when he was like 12 and he beat their asses so bad that shit followed him all the way to college. legendary. everyone knows lwj is in love w wei ying bc of the lack of duels. anyone else would certainly have been punched in the face. but no wwx just gets sideye. and ignored. which only ENCOURAGES him. in fact if anyone else tries to put a stop to wwx shenanigans lwj glares at YOU. everyone says ah yes, face of jade, so serene. meanwhile on the inside he is full of lust and also more importantly rage. i Love him. he said sometimes violence is the solution actually. but only when i do it. pristine.

Lan Wangji said: I will bite you in every universe<<33

(I was drawing MDZS modern au w/ Wei Wuxian, Wen Qing, and Wen Ning, but I somehow finished Wangxian first…)

Mentor Wei Wuxian

In the past month I was busy rereading the novel. Reading the novel the second time without consuming the visual adaptations beforehand, 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 magic skills.

I also think it's a better contrast to Lan Wangji's many layers of long robes, (which, in my opinion adds to his ethereal, elegant and composed character). Wei Wuxian's character seems to be more lively, more swift and active, therefore I think I kinda imagine him with his legs visible. Sort of like in his younger days, but a different, shorter robe.

(Of course this design is not historically accurate, but I suppose that neither are the other designs in MDZS)

Interestingly, I didn't imagine any greys and reds on him either. I just see him dressed entirely in black, as a shadow shape, appearing here and there and causes trouble hehe.

Does it mean I will draw him like this from now on? I'm not sure. Probably not most of the times, because I still need him to be recognizable. But maybe, in some arts, I will.
