Artist's commentary
A strike, it seems, directly to the heart.
A papercraft Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao at Guanyin Temple! This is such an intense moment in the story overall and so climactic in their relationship specifically; I really wanted to do it justice to it, which of course means plenty of dramatic windswept hair and billowing robes. But I also took extra care with their facial expressions - there’s so much betrayal and anger in the moment, and yet still so much leftover love too! All of that needs to show in their faces!
