Super happy to bring you another update of HoS!! I think I'm slowly getting rid of the perfectionist urge to make every update extremely meaningful (still ensuring it's relevant to the story evolution) and just enjoying the process⁓ back to lore crafting now for another episode!

Thank you to Iku for beta reading the dialogues for this one, making these elder Dragon Daddies talk was a bit of an English challenge for me haha they made sure dialogues flow nicely!

Fun fact, I've used a different brush for each HoS episode so far haha

Zhongli (1) I used a custom brush I made myself by simply squishing the tip of a round default brush so strokes had more dimension. Not enough texture, I kept focusing on the strokes quality rather than the shapes.

Kaveh (2) I used The Brush I was super hyped for (I talked about it here - og post below the recent edits). Without pressure-sensitivity enables, it allows you to entirely focus on shapes - I'm still using it for sketches! I missed the higher level of detail of pressure-sensitive brushes so I tried to enable it on this one but it stops being as interesting.

Neuvillette (3) another brush from the same set of The Brush, I like this one because its textures are interesting and "distracting" for the eye enough that I can focus on shapes instead of strokes quality but still can manage its thickness variation with the pressure-sensitive option on! I'm currently enjoying this one!
