like sinking, like drowning, like dissolving into the radiance of Rin’s sun

commission for wonderful airin @icecreambat, who wanted me to draw my favourite scene from a fic of hers. it’s called wind waves and it’s honestly one of the most stunning fics i’ve ever read - not just in free! fandom but like. ever. 

i drew two scenes (from chapters 5 and 1 respectively) instead of one because: a.) choosing just one when i have like a whole list of fav ww moments was TORTURE; b.) the second can be considered a bonus, an expression of gratitude for creating such an immensely beautiful story; c.) eh, why the hell not.

a little about my choice of scene(s) to draw. the hug + spilled tea moment from chapter 5 is one of the most emotionally charged scenes for me. it’s exactly that kind of scene that makes you forget to breathe for a few moments, that makes you feel a little dizzy and lightheaded in a good way, in the best way possible. it was also the first scene i had a very vivid image of in my head, apart from the opening scene from chapter 1 which made me fall in love with this story from the very beginning and which i ended up drawing too as a little bonus. 

if i could, i’d write an entire essay about wind waves but since i’m absolutely no good when it comes to words, i can only hope that these drawings did the job instead.

thank you for being such a gem, airin! it was a great pleasure and an honour illustrating wind waves. good luck with ocean ones
