After so much inspiration from the works of Tsui Hark, I am in the midst of creating Golden Wars, a collection o' short stories from a rather folk fantasy-like alternate universe of ancient China - much influence drawn from their extremely beautiful and rich culture along with such grand tales in their lore. :heart:

Downside: I speak from the point of view of an uncultured swine who has barely skimmed the surface in her Chinese research; there is so much to learn, so much to delve into, so forgive me if things in this piece come off as... no. I look forward to learning more on all this epicness.

All characters in here are from different tales in the collection (aside from the vertical three in the foreground). :D
PS: The title of this picture is what it is considering the main characters of these stories are pretty underestimated quirk folk.

I can't get over the guy hugging that lady oh my goodness his expression |DD
It feels like it's been a while since we saw this yellow background from you, but you made a comeback with it excellently since it matches the theme of the drawing :'D Generally I love all of the gold included in the character designs, gives a huge feeling of royalty and mixed with the other colours, a good touch of eccentric!! :heart:
And DAMN darling I love those mountains in the distance- they really feel like background material along with the fog :heart:

Interesting! I know almost nothing about ancient China, so I am very intrigued!

And the picture is gorgeous!

Research binging time. :la: A nice call back to those traditional paintings and drawings. Like Kurokami said under me, seeing you tackling a calligraphic brush or pen would be interesting to see. Keep up the good work, Andi.~

Oooh! this is a pleasantly unexpected mix of style.
Have you considered drawing them using calligraphy/Chinese brush painting? I bet it'd look epic!
