you have her smile (Patreon)

Debated posting these on their own but… man I just want to talk about these sketches for a bit.

I’ll be discussing mafia/non-canon AU stuff since that’s what I’ve been drawing these past few days.

Ci’an is the son of Nie Airan and Lan Lingde, both of which are spirits/yaojing, and Airan passed away right after Ci’an’s little sister was born. Lingde was a scientist for the syndicate, focusing on bioengineering with his fellow associates, and often experimented on Ci’an herself to get faster results. This resulted in mutations and allowed her to take on different forms willingly (which is why I sometimes draw her as a fox, dragon, etc.).

Ci’an doesn’t remember her bio parents a lot. She simply remembers that she felt sickly and tired often.

1) A younger Airan and little Ci’an!! She’s got her mama’s smile

2-3) Unknowingly sharing your dad’s wide-eyed/pupil slit stare when you’re both pissed off at something/someone

4) She’s got her papa’s hair!!! Geez!! Gee Lingde!!! Pick yourself up man, smh, can’t be seen crying over some dead wife now smh
