This art was a matter of time

One of the most interesting AU in mdzs - Wei Wuxian does not die, he develops his order, and finds students to pass on his legacy to them. In mdzs, the closest to dark energy besides Wei Wuxian was Xue Yang, who was quite successful in this matter according to the canon, since he was able to recreate the seal, and he recognized Wei Wuxian's skill, which gives me the right to believe that he admired him. Besides, it seems to me that if Mo Xuanyu hadn't died, he could also have become a dark caster. In many fanfictions that I read, because of the weak golden core, Xuanyu resorted to the dark path. Moreover, he and Wei Wuxian have a fairly close relationship as a result, this boy was able to perform the ritual almost perfectly and revive it, taking into account that the most powerful casters were not able to find a shadow of his soul.

Hello everyone!

Do you remember art with Wei Ying and his boy students? Yes, I decided to draw this topic again. I really really like this AU, at least because three (four, Wei Wuxian too) Souls survive in it. (Some kind of Jiang Cheng's nightmare ..).

So, I decided to do some magic and try to imagine Wei Wuxian's sect a little richer than it could be in the canon (well, let's dream and give money to poor A-Xian, for the maintenance of their children).

When I drew clothes for the characters, I didn't want to make them the same. I flipped through quite a lot of references, was inspired by the images from the doramas and probably adapted them to the style of 2d and Donghua after all. As for the images, I want to draw attention to the patterns on everyone's clothes. In them, I tried to make some kind of reference to the character or his story.

So A-Yuan has a pattern of clouds and sleeves with sun rays on his clothes, Wei Ying has lotus motifs on his belt and lapels. Besides, many people already know that I love the Jin clan theme, and that's why there are peonies on Xuanyu's clothes.

I wanted to somehow unite A-Qing and Xue Yang, after all, they are from the same arch. They have the motives of field herbs, Xue Yang has wormwood + a reference to his surname. In addition, the small pattern on his hanfu is small stylized candies.

P.S. my preferences may not coincide with yours.

Oh, all those patterns on his clothes🛐

He grew up on the street, but circumstances forced him to stick out his little finger like an aristocrat.
