i never really draw zhongli in my non-cartoony style so i wanted to show how i see him (theres no clothes because i didnt want to waste time drawing something unneeded)

BONUS DOODLES! thank you @mildlysweettea for thinking up their backstory and generally for feeding me this au😄

i think this is one of my finest ideas yet

progress shots and composition explanation! its very frame-within-a-frame, done subtly. also i didnt want them to obviously be vampires, since this is in the perspective of someone not knowing what will happen! kaeya and diluc worked hard to make a nice dining area!!!!

SOMETIMES WHEN I FEEL INTENSE HYPERFIXIATION I DRAW HOW I FEEL. THESE WERE ALL DRAWN AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT HAVE THE SAME EMOTION
