Wen Zhua, the Fan Dancer

It was 3 years to the month since this idea brewed and after much dev work to a representative look… Introducing the patron-voted zodiac. Still needs work but this is as solid a milestone as it gets, with mostly minor tweaking left to do.

Meet Shu Wen Zhua, she’s a metal mouse. Gold affinity, fan dancer / security.

tied with dragon, mouse won by luck. not to leave the poor dragon out, it was integrated into her design as a back pattern. Yes, that’s two tails acting like whiskers.

Also, a closer look at the uniform, a modesty apron styled after the brothel namesake

This is the beauty shot, there’ll be more info later in an expanded info sheet, like claw construction, dance style, tummy deco.

And with this, my long-term pet project The Lantern Garden kicks off proper. I hope to have everything set in stone and fully revealed by my birthday 2024.

If you’d like to follow along you’re welcome to join my Patreon. Gold and Silver will have finished art, Jade gets development sketches. Shennanigans will be abound as I work out the little details and do ‘test fitting’. And in general see what arts I’ve done months in advance.

… I might do a poll for a zodi-dude to balance it out
