Congratulations, Ryu and Chun-Li!

Today, they finally got married after 34 years of getting to know each other…

🌀 Spiral Doodles n Sketches🌀

A collection of doodles/sketches I’ve done over the past, month or so(idk. No real timestamps lol) time to explain!

——

1) Bianca (local spirit smoocher) working and overhearing some other gals talking about her.

2) Sketch of my current Wind Goddess Fen PoPo/ChingChing(👈 mentioned in another post) not super important to Spiral but important enough to mention here. I lied she’s kinda important

3-6) Feature Lifen, Chengjiao, Sun Wukong, and two new kiddos + a Bodisattvah. RedBoy and a lil Wolf Gal named Yuui, and Bodisattvah Li Mei Fan (Lifen’s guardian in Spiral; the big blue gal)

6 & 7) Bodisattvahs Guanyin and Li Mei Fan. One initial concept sketch, while the second is a conversation the two are having. (Guanyin I might swap around a bit. Idk just yet but I like her look)

8) Lastly, but not least, we have Spiral!Basteta being a cutie pie. Our local temple Guai who enjoys pestering a little dragon monk from time to time lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I guess I’ll info dump lol it’s a lot going on.

Essentially while world building, after my Lifen doodle I figured “hm; well why not?” And threw her in the mix lol. So she’s also going to be a traveller; adjacently working with Chenjiao and Yushu to figure out what is going on, while also trying to go not to get hoed by Heaven and trying not to kill RedBoy in the process lol.

In doing so they run into Bianca; a lotus harvester from the smaller islands who let her stay in her home(and her spirit friend/crush). Jun, a celestial dragon monk and his (secret) partner Basteta, hearing stories and legends about their friends and family they never thought possible in such strange lands.

I’m having a great time ngl; it’s so much fun. And I think Steta might be the cutest thing ever look at her lol face!! Also being a major perfectionist about my art, you know I’m loving it to post all these sketches lol

Also all the art/sketches belong to me

Jun and Basteta belong to @onelastfic

Fields upon fields of dozens of plants and grass and trees lining them all.

Forests galore, you can walk anywhere and you will find one. They’re ominous but you won’t find danger there.

The lakes can kill and have drowned some before, be wary.

There is an omnipresent bell that follows you wherever you are. You can’t escape the occasional “bong” resonating through the sky, it’ll constantly come and go, and there’s no way of relying it for time.

Clocks? They’re nonexistent. But oh, I suppose you can look at the sun. It’s loud, bright, and welcoming - a beautiful yell, just hope it isn’t obstructed by a blanket of glowing clouds.

Time.. hahhahahhahaha sure.

There’s wolves everywhere. They’re pretty much the only creature to see and hear. Oh - the birds flying around? They never land. I hope you’re ready to climb to the peak of the ginormous trees to reach for them, otherwise, only their flashing wings will be noticed.

An old man will come along and offer you some advice.. you should listen.

a young man in a business suit will give you some food, don’t take it, but trust his judgment of the journey ahead.

instinct will allow you to recognise which path is right, there are millions of winding ones, and some will lead you back, but hopefully - you’ll continue onwards forever. Through shrubs and branches and snow and rain.

Food exists, everywhere, and yet you must obtain it yourself. Many apple trees, berries, nuts, and other plants. I say.. you may even eat some of those delicious flowers!

Don’t blow the dandelions, they’ll carry you away with the breeze..

Problems? BAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA the only thing you have here is where to rest better - in the soft moss, the weaved hammock, or the tree canopy!

Stars and clouds are ever so present, allowing you an every changing glimpse into the past, present, and future. They’ll soothe your dreams and desires.

Sleep as much as you want and need, yet the road will still be there.

T..transport? Yeah I guess we have teams to the nearest- ah? A car?? You mean the Old Ford’s scattered and rotting and rusting across the forest? Yeah I guess you could rest there.. drive? Hah. HAHAH no! Goodness no.

there’s a fog, it’s ever so present, yet it’s striving love isn’t enough to bring it closer, it’s still somewhere far away.
