to promise me, you must live to keep it

Summary:

fanart for orro's "this is how a promise is made" for Scum Villain Winter Exchange VII

Notes:

Happy Winter Exchange, orro!!!

I bounced between ideas a bit before deciding I wanted to try my hand at fake screenshots for one of your lovely liushen fics (plus a little doodle comic bc that scene kept making me laugh). I saw partway through that this fic in particular was also a part of a zine, so I hope giving you extra art for it is alright :3

Thank you for the opportunity to mess around with art supplies to try making this work mostly traditionally (I used a warm light filter while cropping/editing the photos haha). Happy holidays!!

Work Text:

pen, color pencil, and watercolor drawing of Shen Qingqiu fussing over an injured Liu Qingge on a forest floor. Shen Qingqiu is turned mostly toward Liu Qingge, his back and profile of his face showing to the audience. One of his hands rests on Liu Qingge's shoulder and the other lays palm-down on on his chest, as though passing him qi. Shen Qingqiu looks worried. Liu Qingge leans back against a tree and lists heavily toward Shen Qingqiu. He has bloody rips in this clothes, blood on scratches on his cheek and at the corners of his mouth. He looks blearily toward Shen Qingqiu with an open mouth smile. Along the bottom of the image is a black bar with white text that reads "I knew... I knew you'd come find me." There are puddles and splatters of white monster blood and red human blood in the background. The whole image has a warm filter over it.

 

pen, color pencil, and watercolor drawing of Shen Qingqiu carrying Liu Qingge on his back as they fly out of the forest. The background is a bright blue sky with scattered clouds and the tops of trees just visible along the bottom. Liu Qingge holds onto Shen Qingqiu with his arms wrapped diagonally around his shoulders. He stares at Shen Qingqiu in worry. Shen Qingqiu looks straight ahead with furrowed brows and an open mouth frown. Both men's hair blows behind them in the wind. A black box along the bottom has white text that reads "You looked dead, Liu-shidi." The whole image has a warm filter over it.

(bonus comic):

scribbly three panel comic drawn in black pen and in a noticably simpler and more cartoony style. The first panel shows Liu Qingge sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree, looking up at a concerned Shen Qingqiu. The second panel shows the two from slightly further away, a large boar creature dead in the foreground, one of its hind legs missing. Liu Qingge has turned to look at it while Shen Qingqiu continues to look at him. The third and final panel shows the same shot as the first, Liu Qingge having turned back to face Shen Qingqiu, who now looks angry, mouth open in a shout, with a speech bubble beside him reading "Shut up"
