#side questing

i think he also thought i was a guy which not gonna lie, makes this whole exchange so much more baffling.

That's right, you heard it here first, folks! The Flue King, the Music Master of Yiling, the legendary Wei Wuxian will be offering one-on-one music lessons to anyone wanting to learn!

I plan on doing negotiable rates, because music needs to be more affordable and I really believe that, so if you're seeing this and interested, hit me up and we can work something out for your price range :) I'm also willing to teach really ANY experience level, so whether you've been learning for years already or just starting out, anyone is welcome to request classes!

Shoot me a DM to get in contact, or email me at...uhm. the email I will be setting up here so soon!

"Lava whip" That's literally all it took to pick up this "side quest".

A mind world nail-biting twins fight to the death that nearly gave me a heart attack may have had something to do with it too!

Hunt's fantastic writing painted a dark, moody, angsty, evil Hao using an alight fire-whip oversoul in my brain and I could not let him go to the land of forgotten.

I realised my memory was pulling up Anakin Skywalker and his neon red light saber. And so I started there for inspiration. (During my art process he was dubbed "Anakin Hao" too ahaha.)

To achieve what I had in mind for Reset Hao(tm), I realised after closely examining the lighting of Anakin I needed to utilise a dark pallet. This is something I'd never attempted before. I did several tries and tests before committing to sketching a final design. This is also something I'd never done previously. I usually sketch my final design first, line art and then decide how to paint/light it. So I was doing things backwards this time.

All in all, this was the most challenging piece I have ever attempted for Hao. Everyone knows by now how much I hate drawing this man in a poncho. The fact the poncho itself took over a week just speaks volumes of how bad I am a drawing that damn sheet. Or just clothing in general.

I do, however, love drawing his lego pants and belts. I think that's plain to see. He's so spoiled. And the bastard knows it.

Lastly, I have to comment on how much I adore exploring Hao's dark side. I think it's fair to say the fandom as whole, myself included, want to see this man in silly situations, fluffy light-hearted and warm scenarios with his twin, or will write a literal multi-fic novella saga and redeem him over and over again to cure our collective aching hearts for him. Sitting with a version of Hao (2001) for so long looking like this reminded me just how evil and scary he is/can be. So I'm delighted to have had a chance to draw him this way. I'm such a fan of angst, especially angsty twins, and it is definitely because of his blood lust why I'm so consumed by him on a daily basis.

Thank you @thornedwitch-art for inspiring me!! I had such an amazing time with your hateful child.
