You'd be there calling my name... [ART cllaboration with "My War is Done"]

This is an artwork part of our collaboration with my beautiful muse and unhinged partner in crime Orchis Ailsa .
Li Lianhua's journey to self acceptance and atonement for all the lies and betrayals begins now.
Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing are not planning to make it too easy on him...

Notes:

Inspired by My War Is Done by OrchisAilsa
Inspired by My War Is Done by OrchisAilsa

A little ode to sex as one of the meaningful ways we connect to each other.
Derwent and Caran'd'Ache color pencils on Waterford hot press watercolor paper, and Dr. Martins acrylic inks for the borders and swirls.
This took 3 months to plan out, sketch, draw, color. Way way over 100 hours.
Endless Thank you's to the wonderful Sumeria - who helped me so much with anatomy, with the composition and colorcheme and absolutely everything that went wrong... and that is EVERYTHING ahahhaha...
Thank you always to my wonderful Amockery <3 THANK YOU!!!

I love the dark chocolate colors -- feels very bittersweet and not too fluffy. Details on the hair, the supple skin and ornamental framing is amazing. :) THE SEXTEEN CHAPEL IS FINALLY COMPLETE!

      Pencils offer a lot of control. Mixed media is great too - pencils on watercolor, or pencils and pastels.

IT'S HEEEERE, YOU DID IT!!! I am IN AWE of the level of detail, THEIR FACES, THE EXPRESSIONS. They're a perfect recreation of life. I can't stop staring at Li Lianhua's eyes in the first panel, so soulful, so expressive! Actually I can't stop staring at the beauty of the whole piece, IT'S SO SEXY, IT'S SO GORGEOUS. We're blessed with your talent and honoured by you efforts!

  I honestly was sitting there looking at the pic and thnking... is it really there? I mean I CAN go over the shading again and hide the pencilstrokes completely... but... let's not, maybe.
  Took a couple of days to internalise it.
  Thak you sweety!!! And thank you for being by my side through this journey! ^-^ <3

this is so beautiful—the eyes are so incredible, and have so much depth and feeling to them? and the shading! the colours!! i'm obsessed with the way you've used white(?) in their hair for highlights.
also, that is a lot of body parts that are incredibly hard to draw (cock? hands???) and you've absolutely nailed all of it. it's stunning.

  Thank you so much for the kindest words! The Lotuses all have such beautiful eyes. I am also looking forward to drawing FDB's chestnut eyes! ^-^ <3
  Ahhahaha, Oh gods, last time I had such trouble with ballz, they are WEIRD little buggers. Reality and what our brain expects to see is not an easy compromise. I love drawing hands, I need to lean into it. There is so much you can convey with hands...
  For the hair, I used light (Felt Grey) grey, which in Derwents (Artist's)makes a good job of blending but also staying on top of darker colors surprisingly well. I also used a bit of Colorsoft grey (also Derwent) for the lightest hghlights. It really depends on the pencils a lot. Thank you so much for the comment <3

    i'm thrilled to hear that there'll be more drawings this, because i will admit, in light of your comment, that i thought, 'oh, they capture the eyes so beautifully; i wish fang duobing's were open, so we could see his, as well' and i'm delighted that we might get the chance in the future!
    also, an early draft of that comment specifically called out the awkwardness of drawing a perineum, and then i was afraid that it was a bit of a weird thing to mention. i'm not at all an artist—i can draw…stick figures, maybe?—but even just thinking about the logistics of the drawing it makes me feel like i'm losing my mind. you've somehow managed to make it all look very natural and beautiful and realistic. it's just incredible.

      Thank you for the sweet reply! THANK YOU!
      It is planned to be a series, so 3 part story and 3 illustrations. However, since I plan these narrative illustrations with panels, it's plenty of opportunity for FDB to open his lovely eyes! Just in this part, he is unaware of being "seen".
      After all, the "gaze" and the delights of fluctuation between object and subject is pretty much the protagonist in this whole thing.
      Ahhha! Oh dear, the amount of taint/hole I looked at for this piece AHHAHAH... it was a delightful amount. Wouldn't want it any other way. Dunno if you can see the little dark hairs on this resolution - it's like A2 in relaity^^;
      More taint to cum... gods.. actually I am not even joking.

I'm commenting on bad wifi in the dead of night because I love this.its so beautiful, so incredibly erotic and specific and gorgeous. Dfs holding fdb's calves is so lovely I can feel it. The warmth of the skin, the expressions, the lush hair and eyes and the firmness of flesh and light in their eyes. also the stunningly rendered dick, lest we forget. I keep looking at this like a filth pilgrim returning to a religious icon. The back view with hands.....my god. I'm born again. Thank you for your talent, your labor, your incredible eye

lychee_jelly on Chapter 2 Wed 04 Sep 2024 12:38AM UTC

wow this is gorgeous! Just, some of the most beautifully rendered erotic art I've ever seen. DFS in the corner looks like he's staring into your soul (I'm assuming that he's making eye contact with LLH? I will probably find out once I go read the story, but that's what it seems like to me). FDB's expression is excellent. And I love the way you draw hands.
and also, just, man, this is so well composed - with the way that all the different images actually fit together, tied by shadows and ornaments and flowers?? 😮👏👏👏

  TBH, I was talking to my friends about how we usually disregard sex and sexual artwork. While it is such an important part of how humans build relationships. So, I want to try and dedicate as much of my skill as I can to something that doesn't shy away from the topic. To make something that is both visceral but also works on an emotional level and makes you go between stages in viewing.
  Yes, you are reading it right - DFS notices LLH ^-^. This side-eye is for him.
  Thank you for mentionig composition. I made initial sketches and then me and Ailsa and Sumeria were sitting there and putting them in different places figuring out how to structure the "narrative". And then I had to go and print out the porniest bit in bigger size to transfer into the final composition IN THE SHOP. Well... something to tell grandkids ^-^

      And also, yes! erotic art is just as capable, if not more, of being beautiful and evoking emotion as any other art (as you're aptly demonstrating).

        So, I just needed a print, not an art grade print, so I sneaked into a convenince store and totally did not look like a weirdo trying to shield the viewscreen from ppl lining up for ATM right next to me.
        So it was half bad ^^; Cheers to the CCTV camera tho. The things we do for love....
        It is also very good for figuring out anatomy! Educational smut! "snickers"
