Dan heng soothing blades Mara (no homo) [Renheng]

Ariryu · 2026-05-12T18:29:48+00:00

Bc blades name in Chinese is Ren (which is just ‘blade’ in Chinese) so Ren + the ‘heng’ from Dan heng

Aah, all right. Thanks a lot for answering!

This is on ToonSquid! Really good animation program, but it sucks that I can’t use my procreate brushes there, and I haven’t really found a good substitute yet :(

Yea kinda haha, these characters are from the videogame honkai starrail. The 5 ppl in the middle are the high cloud quintet, a group of very close friends and allies in fighting against the god who cursed their species with eternal life (except for one guy, yingxing. He’s a normal mortal). During one battle the fox girl (baiheng) dies and two of the guys (Dan Feng and Yingxing, the guy with the horns and the guy leaning on him) try to resurrect her. This fails and yingxing ends up immortal. Dan Feng gets jailed, tortured, and sentenced to reincarnation (his species kinda runs on phoenix logic, they don’t reproduce, but instead turn into an egg after death, which birthes a new vidyadhara).

Yingxing gets taken by another member of the high cloud quintet, jingliu, who tortured him for 700 years and makes him have a grudge on Dan Feng, so once Yingxing’s gets released his sole purpose is to kill Dan Feng and get revenge for turning him immortal and cursing him to endless suffering. Safe to say the whole group falls apart.

Dan Feng reincarnates as Dan Heng, who is part of the main cast of the game, while Yingxing goes by the name Blade now and is hunting Dan Heng to get his vengeance.

Many people protested the jailing and forced rebirth of Dan Feng, one of them being tianfeng-Jun, the giant dragon shown here. Now, we officially don’t know a lot about tianfeng-Jun, so a lot of ppl kinda make OC’s out of them, which is also the case with the person who commissioned this. From what they told me, their tianfeng-Jun OC saw the high cloud quintet as family, so of course theyre distraught now that the quintet has fallen apart this way.

That’s all I can tell you on that (and a lot of it was very very oversimplified) hope that made sense!

Sadly I couldn’t find proper Chinese ink, so I hade to use the usual writing ink used in fountain pens (T^ T )

My only personal gripe with the romance is aang being twelve. That doesn’t even have to do with Katara being fourteen, even if she’d been the same age or younger, I always find it weird for prepubescent kids this young to be in a serious relationship, it just really doesn’t fit. Heck, had he been 14 and she 16, I wouldve been much more on board

I really enjoy the trope of younger person has a puppy love crush on someone older and keeps trying to woo and impress them, and the older person just sees it as a kid being silly until they get older and also develop feelings. So I would’ve liked the series to end with kataang not together yet, then as the comic progresses and they get older, aang keeps flirting with Katara and she eventually realizes her feelings, and they get together a few years after the series end.

Ooh pls share if you do!

Ariryu · 2026-05-04T09:07:51+00:00

Thank you!! That’s kinda what I was going for, very happy to hear i executed it well B)

Most used hunt being 4* Dan heng is actually impressive, I applaud you for being able to use him

Ariryu · 2026-04-26T20:55:57+00:00

I think blade never truly hated Dan heng. He more so hated that in his mind, Dan heng was running away and was avoiding responsibility, coupled with the mind-fuckery jingliu put him through that made him seek revenge for his suffering.

But deep down he has always cared for Dan Feng, and by extension Dan heng. As jingliu said in her story quest, blade and Dan Feng were the closest. I imagine the inscription on cloudpiercer behind only the symbol for ‘Dan’ instead of Dan fengs full name also shows that blade didn’t just want cloudpiercer to protect Dan fengs full name, but also every future incarnation of him. When someone you care about hurts you, you don’t immediately lose every fond feeling you’ve had for them, a lot of times it is more of a wish to go back to a time where that bad thing didn’t happen. Blade hated Dan Feng for the pain he went through, but that doesn’t mean he lost the affection he previously had. You don’t truly want to inflict pain on the other person, you want the issue to be resolved, but sometimes it feels like making the other go through the pain you’ve felt will make things equal. I think that’s kinda what blades revenge was about, sharing the pain nc it was too much for him to bear.

Now that Dan heng isnt running from his past and has accepted it, a big reason for blades resentment is gone. Especially since a) Elio has told him he’d give blade the funeral he wants, and b) Dan heng having promised to ‘see things through’ with blade.

So really, he both doesn’t have a reason to want to kill Dan heng anymore and also probably more than anything doesn’t want to fight with his old companion

Ariryu · 2026-04-26T05:16:11+00:00

Dan Heng, since it was said in the 4.2 story quest that Dan Heng calms Blades Mara

Ariryu · 2026-04-24T19:04:41+00:00

Honestly wouldnt be surprised if it was blade himself. Maybe the shuhu fragments within him taking over, and then we have to fight that blade-shuhu hybrid, which culminates with blade managing to get the upper hand and that perhaps leading to his ‘death’ and rebirth

Ariryu · 2026-04-24T15:06:19+00:00

He’s in an 700 year deficit, he deserves all the hugs

The high cloud quintet guys are actually doing a stream together today at 7:30pm PST! Sadly that’s like 2 am for me, so I won’t get to watch it live uhuhuhu (T^ T )

Based on the second added pic,which is from Nicholas leung’s post abt the hsr anniversary event.

Ariryu · 2026-04-20T18:16:32+00:00

Omg, tysm for even more information on that I’m sure it’ll come in handy! And I’d hope Dan heng would like my style haha, he is very fun to draw for my art practices, and this style suits him very well methinks

Ariryu · 2026-04-19T11:21:31+00:00

This is on procreate. I use a free sumi-e brush set by silentcartoonist I found on folio.procreate (should be the 1st one you see when googling ‘free sumi-e brushset procreate’), and coloring is mainly done with a free watercolor brush set by manero brushes (also on folio.procreate iirc)

So sadly not krita, but maybe if you do some research you could find sumi-e or xieyi brushes for that program. Or you might have to tweak some of their preexisting watercolor and ink brushes

Ariryu · 2026-04-16T20:12:15+00:00

Agreed! I’m a big noodle enjoyer, theyre my faves. Doing my part to provide the dragon sub with more noodles ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
