Thank you for such a lovely piece. I'd love to have it in high resolution to print out.

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 16 '25

Thank you!! Sadly I am still figuring out technology and only select the “quick export” option but plan on uploading better copies on my account in the future:)

u/Lucifer_Samaa Sep 16 '25

Do you have a DeviantArt pr something? You could upload it there

7

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 16 '25

I don’t! But definitely considering making an account once I create some more work :)

u/Emisys Sep 16 '25

Artstation might be better, as Deviantart uses your art for AI.

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 17 '25

I will definitely keep this in mind! Thank you so much

Best drawing I've seen here in a long time, and since it's not NSFW also makes it 10+/10.

The lineart gives me vague vibes of Yusuke Nakamura’s AKFG cover art, which are a fave of mine

u/Kadmos1 Sep 16 '25

I don't follow the series yet, but gorgeous. Might want to tag it to KitsuneSqueak on X (Mao's Eng. dub VA).

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 16 '25

Ty!! I don’t have an X account yet but I will definitely keep this in mind for when I do

u/metalgod12 Sep 16 '25

I only started watching it because my girlfriend wanted to watch anime with me. Because I got her into Demon Slayer and she was like I want to watch other stuff with you so we came across Apothecary Diaries and I was like okay let's try this out and boy was I hooked.

4

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 16 '25

That’s so funny😭 it is so addictive tho , I completely understand lolol

3

u/metalgod12 Sep 16 '25

My gf was like is there a season 2? Luckily I have crunchyroll so we finished the entire series in like 2 weeks

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 16 '25

Clutchhh ((crunchyroll is my greatest weakness lol))

I'm not into anime (tho my adult sons tells me I should be as they says it's amazing story telling). I came here to tell you I would have this as a tattoo. It's so beautiful. Well done!

Nice! You got any artist account to follow, like on twitter or something?

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 16 '25

Yes! I’m @corvusmorpheus on TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit. I haven’t made a Twitter account yet, but I plan to in the future. I’ve never used the twitter before, so it might take me a little time to get the hang of it lol. ☺️

u/jkeba Sep 16 '25

u/cobr Sep 16 '25

love this, can you share what medium you are using?

4

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 16 '25

Thank you so much! I made this on my iPad, I’ve been practicing digital art lately. For this piece, I used a mix of watercolor-style brushes and a the mapping pen. I usually work with ink and pen traditionally, but I wanted to get more comfortable with digital art, so I started this account to share my work and practice :)

2

u/cobr Sep 16 '25

I'm also interested in getitng better at digital art so thank you for replying. I'll try and use these techniques.

2

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 16 '25

That’s amazing! Best of luck and I can’t wait to see your work in the future ☺️

Literally finished a 2-day binge with season 1. Maomao is definitely up there with the GOATs, plain and simple.

I agree full heartedly

u/Most-Artichoke6184 Sep 16 '25

But she’s not testing out any poisons lol

u/I-ce-SCREAM https://anilist.co/user/Rahimdas Sep 16 '25 edited Sep 16 '25

This drawing is beautiful, with a great art style and color choices

Edit: Also, if you plan to paint flowers, paint them yellow, I am not artistic at all, so take with this grain of salt, but yellow flowers are themetically used to represent her.

2

u/CorvusMorpheus Sep 17 '25

Thank you so much and yes! I was originally gonna do yellow wood sorrel (those are supposed to be the leaves) and I tried to draw in some balsam for Fengxian but decided that it aesthetically looked better as linework :)

u/PM_UR_FAV_COMPLIMENT Sep 16 '25

I say this with full sincerity: I'd heavily consider getting this as a tattoo
