Chương 58: Volume 1 Art 🎨 (Includes sneak peek)

Hi Everyone! As you've already figured out, this is the end of Volume 1... and since I am still working on Story 6 (the first story for Volume 2) I'm doing an art post! Sweats nervously I know you all would prefer a good 3k words to go with this but this is all I can do for now. Also, art is expensive, y'all. I want you to appreciate it.

I'm going to try and get a Patreon up once story 6 is complete so I can use subscriptions to pay for more art (since I don't have the time to work on it myself (plus I'm reaaaaaly not an amazing character artist... maybe I'll do some sketches later to prove it). In the meantime, you can always donate to my Ko-Fi account here... https: //ko-fi. com/dragonofrochester Here is an image of Lin when she was an adult. Doesn't she look exactly how you imagined her inner adult self to be? Gorgeous, confident, and could definitely kick someone's ass. Artist Name: J. C. Tsuu Business Email: [email protected] This beautiful image above was originally composed and sketched by the wonderful Ms. Tsuu who finished the Adult version of Lin at the top. Since I liked this composition so much I decided to finish it by cleaning, coloring, and rendering it, so any mistakes are mine! Ms. Tsuu would have done a much better job, but I'm still happy with how it turned out. 🥰 Lin is obviously preparing a medicinal bath of some kind since she obviously would be standing if she were doing regular alchemy. 😉 This was the original image I threw together for Story 1's cover. It's still adorable AF. I drew it not to be an accurate representation of what the characters looked like, but to show the feeling I wanted the story to have. Basically, adorable Xianxia and a little chaotic. It also took me at least 15-20 hours considering how shitty my old laptop was. Thank fuck Brooklyn 99 had a season I'd missed watching as it kept me sane while I waited for my laptop to catch up. And this is the image of the One Horned, One-Eyed, Flying Purple Python Monster (spiritual beast) that I drew for story 4. This took maybe 3-6 hours? But if I were still using my old laptop, it would have taken like 10-12 hours... Seriously, my old laptop did not like Photoshop and I couldn't even use my Wacom tablet anymore without it taking 10-30 seconds between each stroke of the pen. Which killed any momentum I might have had while drawing. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Below is a very short sneak peek at the first 400 words of Story 6 - Slapping Faces and Entering Sects (Part 1). - This has only been slightly edited. Things will change to improve how they sound when spoken aloud. - I may also have a better idea and change the whole thing by next week as I'm pretty sure I can write a better (and actually funny) training scene with more humor once I figure out exactly what I want to happen here. sweats nervously Things like this are why I've always been nervous about setting up a Patreon for WIFTTTTA. Comedy is hard. I threw out a slow spiritual palm attack again toward Little Spring's shoulder. With unfocused eyes, he slashed forward. A small blade of Sword Qi flew towards it and... completely missed. It then hit the poor tree creating a small mark on its thick bark. This kid. I stopped my attack inches from his green robes and crossed my arms." You're not concentrating." He winced." I... should spend more time cultivating." This brat probably thought he was cultivating too slowly recently. The kid reached level 8 so quickly that he was now spoiled. Probably thought that if he couldn't gain a layer every couple weeks then he'd failed. I walked up to him while passing the beautiful flowers and bushes that some poor outer sect disciple likely had to take care of once or twice a month." It's not just about building up your Qi! While you're young, you need to train both body and mind so you can use your Qi effectively. Especially during a fight." I sighed. This was something I had already had to repeat after witnessing him miss for the third time today. He had been having a hard time focusing. Considering that, the Junior Sect Leader's team escorted us to the Indomitable Will Sect, stuck us in an honored visitor's courtyard, then left us here like goddamn prisoners, he might have become frustrated. I couldn't blame him since it had been two fucking weeks. Okay. The higher ups did have more important things to deal with than two lowly Qi Condensation cultivators like us. Things like healing the Sect Leader. And figuring out what happened in Three Kings Forest. And punishing that asshole, Glittering Iron Omniscience (the Sect Leader's nephew). At least Unyielding Firestorm (the Junior Sect Leader) visited us a while back and told us the Sect leader had recovered completely just like he had in my past life. Little Spring scowled up at me." I have been training my mind." I gently pushed on his glabella." Learning new things and doing your homework will help but that's not what I mean." He scowled, "Then what?" Before I could start a lecture on how it could eventually lead to splitting one's focus into parts to help with things like making multiple Qi arrows or reading several jade slips at once, the Junior Sect Leader sent a secret sound transmission." Little Fairy Lin! Sect Leader Peerless Resolve would like to see you both..." Fucking finally!
