So, a while ago I posted some art trades I did on Tik Tok and some people asked me if I wanted to do one with them and so I asked each person if they had some examples of their work I could see. No one responded 😑 I don't know why that made them back out, but it's whatever. But then, like a shining beacon in the dark, someone saw me ask this to everyone and sent me their instagram in advance so I could see their pieces; We love an aware king/queen 🙏
Their artstyle is SO AMAZING AND THEIR ART IS SO DELICIOUS- God, I jumped at the chance and responded very enthusastically. Perhaps I should've waited when I wasn't swamped with school work, but they were very patient with me which I was very thankful for. Anyways, they drew my OC, Shen (神), for me and I drew Cheongdo from the manhwa Midwood for them. I actually sunk 5 hours into it, realised I hated it, scrapped it and restarted and then dropped another 9 hours into this project lol
BUT IT CAME OUT FANTASTIC! Please look at this beauty:

I'm genuinely super happy with myself, especially with how much I detested my inital attempt hahahah. It's nice to see how much I've improved over the years. And also because the last time I did a whole proper piece was over a month ago 💀 Oops
