Meet the Artist: @velinxi
Hello! I’m Xiao Tong Kong, better known as “Velinxi.” I’m the creator of the webcomic Countdown to Countdown and have been doing freelance artwork since I was a teenager. I love telling stories with my illustrations! Tumblr was where I first got my start as an artist, specifically a small fandom artist as a hobby… and now I’m somehow here! When I’m not trying my best to stay awake in front of my tablets, I’m usually cooking, gaming, or sleeping. Sometimes all three, in my dreams.
Pleased to meet you, Velinxi! We’ve asked her to share some of her artwork for you to appreciate below.

Title: DPS Only! Creator: Xiao Tong Kong / Velinxi Genres: Contemporary, Graphic Novels Pages: 432 Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing Review Copy: Electronic copy provided by publisher Availability: 1 November 2022
Summary: This captivating coming-of-age story set in the world of e-sports will have readers cheering for girl gamer Vicky Tan as she overcomes social anxiety, self-doubt, and an overprotective big brother to pursue her dream of becoming a competitive gamer. From the Tapas webcomic, a 2021 Eisner Award nominee.
High school student Vicky lives a secret life. To most, she is a meek pushover, often in the shadow of her e-sports superstar of a brother, Virgil. Unknown to anyone, however, she dons a secret identity when she logs on to play Xenith Orion, the multiplayer game dominating the e-sports scene. She knows firsthand the harassment female gamers often experience, but when an opportunity arises in a local tournament, Vicky—mask in hand—cannot resist the challenge. Sneaking around and hiding only works for so long, and once the truth comes out, what will it mean for Vicky and those who trusted her?
Review: [Content warnings: misogyny/sexism, harassment, referenced child abuse.]
I’ve been on a webcomic kick the last several months, so I was excited to get my hands on an eARC of DPS ONLY! I’d never read the original comic (on Tapas), but the publishing team did a great job of converting the (vertical, long-scroll) episodes to traditional pages/spreads for printing. There were only a handful of places where I was uncertain about where I should be looking first—not bad at all for having to reformat everything in a different orientation!
Creator Xiao Tong Kong (aka, Velinxi) put together an engaging, one-volume story. I really enjoyed Velinxi’s art style, especially the character design and color palettes. The “in game” views of Xenith Orion were interesting, though I was occasionally confused by what was going on when the action got complicated. Part of that is certainly due to my inexperience with games like Xenith Orion; DPS ONLY! does include some definitions/explanations of various terminology throughout, which were very useful.
So far as the story goes, our heroine Vicky has been hiding her interest in Xenith Orion from her brother—and with the strangers she plays online with as well. The (real-world) sexism/misogyny in e-sports is never far away from the center of the story, from Virgil’s well-meaning but patronizing attitude to Vicky getting hit on at tournaments to the harassment female players experience from both players and fans. I really appreciated that Velinxi included other female players in addition to Vicky—such as Opal, one of Vicky’s teammates, and Fangs, part of the Hunting Howls team—as it was nice to see that even in a story where Vicky feels like she has to hide her identity, there are other female players competing and thriving at a high level.
The one plotline I really didn’t enjoy was Virgil being hostile to Opal and Eric, and especially how Virgil kept hounding Eric about hanging around Vicky. The age difference between Eric and Vicky is Virgil’s concern, but it gets uncomfortable fast since Eric is the only Black character in the main cast and Virgil is pretty convinced Eric has nefarious designs on Vicky. This very much soured my opinion of Virgil, and I almost wished DPS ONLY! had been longer just so I could see more of Virgil repairing his relationship with Vicky and actually building relationships with Opal and Eric. As it is, I was a little miffed by how quickly all of that was resolved.
Recommendation: Pre-order it if you’re interested in e-sports. Xiao Tong Kong created a solid one-volume work about a teenage girl who feels like she has to hide herself to succeed at what she loves. It’s an interesting peek into the uphill battle female players face, and I’ll be checking out the creator’s latest project.

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System vol 3
This is part of my growing number of Mo Xiang Tong Xiu posts. If you want to find more, check out the author tag here. A few days earlier, Shen Qingqiu couldn’t have gotten away from Luo Binghe fast enough, retreating three steps for every one he took. Now he didn’t want to do that sort of thing anymore. Retreating would make him look too much like a respectable woman kidnapped by a ruffian—too…

Creator Spotlight: @velinxi​
Hello! I’m Xiao Tong Kong, better known as “Velinxi.” I’m the creator of the webcomic Countdown to Countdown and have been doing freelance artwork since I was a teenager. I love telling stories with my illustrations! Tumblr was where I first got my start as an artist, specifically a small fandom artist as a hobby… and now I’m somehow here! When I’m not trying my best to stay awake in front of my tablets, I’m usually cooking, gaming, or sleeping. Sometimes all three, in my dreams.
Check out our interview with Velinxi below!
Did you originally have a background in art? If not, how did you start?
Yeah! I’ve basically been on track to become an artist since I was a child. I went to a middle school with an emphasis on arts and a high school specializing in it. I went to SVA briefly for computer arts but dropped out to pursue freelance and webcomics after my first year.
Over the years as an artist, what or who were your biggest inspirations behind your creativity?
My biggest inspirations growing up were Yuumei and Shilin Huang, two titans on DeviantArt back in the day. They still inspire me today, but the list of inspirations has grown exponentially over the years, including artists, movies, entire art movements, etc.
What was your thought process behind the creation of your webcomic, Countdown to Countdown?
Well, Countdown to Countdown started as a passion project back when I was 15, in high school, and pretty depressed. I just wanted to draw whatever story I thought was cool, inspired by my favorite media at the time. There was a very loose beginning and outline, but I was truly just writing as I drew the story. That’s why I had to stop the comic in 2018 and restart from scratch the year after. Now, the story has a set story and a clear outline. It still has similar roots, characters, and themes of neglect, abuse, and escape—but I think the story is a lot easier to follow now. It’s got an artstyle I can actually keep up with in the long run. The origin of why CTC exists also remains the same: I simply wanted to make a story I wanted to read for myself. Which happens to be about two dumb boys with superpowers navigating a hostile world that wants them dead or caged—together.
Have you ever had an art block? If so, how did you overcome it?
Oh, all the time. It’s part of the process. Personally, though—I just have to draw through it. Every month on my Patreon, I have my patrons vote on a theme I have to draw by the end of the month, and I try my best to make it as interesting as possible. I draw quite a few—tens even, of doodles or compositions for each of these themes to try to make something that tells a story while still being aesthetically pleasing and clear. I think pushing myself like this helps with art block, really. I also do remember to take breaks and simply consume other media I like! It gets the inspiration juices flowing.
Advice you would give to an aspiring creator?
If you do one—your first webcomic should be a short, fun, messy thing. It’s not often you can get it right the first time, but you’ll certainly learn a lot through sheer experience. This goes for a lot of things in art, to be honest.
What is a medium that you have always been intrigued by but would never use yourself?
3D Animation. I briefly learned it at SVA, and I think that’s enough of that tech for me. I accept that there are some things that are truly beautiful if done right, and I am too simple and lazy for it.
What is your goal for the rest of this year?
Get Countdown to Countdown book 2 finished! And live HAHA
Who on Tumblr inspires you and why?
@yuumei-art on Tumblr, still! They’ve been a huge inspiration for digital artists and storytellers online for years. I have no doubt that many digital artists of my generation have been influenced by them, and they’re still here, making beautiful art and stories. It’s a thing to behold.
Thanks for stopping by, Velinxi! If you haven’t seen her Meet the Artist piece, be sure to check it out here. You can also follow her for more amazing art over at her Tumblr, @velinxi!

Ciclo de abuso explorado em SVSSS (Vilão Escroto)
Intro 0:00
Parte 1 - Impressão errada da sexualidade do Luo Binghe 6:59
Parte 2 - Quem é o Shen Jiu e Yue Qingyuan? 10:37
Parte 3 - Normalização de abusos nas seitas de cultivação 15:13
Parte 4 - Bingge se torna Shen Jiu 21:48
Bônus - Acho que no fim Shen Qingiu deveria revelar ser um transmigrador 33:21
Detalhes:
"Shizun" significa mestre/professor
"Shen Qingqiu" não é apenas um nome simples, Shen Jiu só o tem após entrar na seita. Assim como Yue Qi passa a ter seu nome como Yue Qingyuan. "Qing" no nome é em relação a seita, por isso os demais mestres tem "Qing" no nome (exemplo: Liu Qingge, Shang Qinghua).
Por tanto, Shen Qingqiu é o nome que Shen Yuan (o transmigrador) e Shen Jiu (o vilão) dividem. Quando Shen Yuan substitui o Shen Jiu, Shen Qingqiu é seu título, ele vive como o mestre do pico e se torna de fato im professor. Ou seja, em Vilão Escroto, Shen Qingqiu é o Shen Yuan, já que sua identidade de Shen Yuan não existe mais quando ele morreu no nosso mundo real, Shen Jiu deixando de existir também.
No romance original, Demônio Orgulhoso, Shen Qingqiu é o Shen Jiu, que tem um fim trágico.
Veja "Demônio Orgulhoso" e "Vilão Escroto" como duas timeline, dois universos, com mesmo início que se diferem do ponto em que Shen Yuan entrou, o do Vilão Escroto, e assumiu a identidade como "Shen Qingqiu".
Exatamente por isso Shen Yuan se identifica com o título Shen Qingqiu, e nem a narração se refere a ele como Shen Yuan, só Shen Qingqiu. E ele nunca se identifica com o nome "Shen Jiu".
Bingge é Luo Binghe do romance original, o que não tem alterações, Demônio Orgulhoso.
Bingmei é do Violão Escroto.
(Na verdade os nomes são "Caminho do demônio imortal orgulhoso" e "Sistema de auto salvamento do vilão escroto", em tradução livre, mas... são bem longos 🤧)
Qijiu - Nome do ship de Yue Qi (Qingyuan) e Shen Jiu
Bingqiu - Nome do ship de Luo Binghe e Shen Qingqiu (Yuan)
Tem ainda o Binggeyuan - Bingge e Shen Yuan (que aí só nas fanfics mesmo)
BinggeJiu - Bingge e Shen Jiu
Apesar de só bingqiu é canon, pra mim qijiu praticamente é, MXTX só faz a doida mesmo.

The art is heavily referenced from the English Novel art by Xiao Tong Kong
Redraw by me, the rendering was very entertaining and soothing
