“Smiling on the surface…” #1

It looks happy enough right…? It’s going to get sad real fast.

This is going to be a series of 13 pictures following a deleted verse from the “What It Sounds Like” demo from K-pop Demon Hunters. First picture done!

I realized how much the Sunset in my au fits weirdly and creepily well with the lyrics (these headcanons and stories were created way before I first watched the film… that’s why I thought it was a little creepy) so I’m going to attempt to visualize the lines below:

“Wishing I was perfect, just like you” #2

“Fighting to be flawless” #3

“Anything but honest” #4

“Thinking you’d hate me if you knew” #5

“I live in fear and” #6

“I tried to mask it” #7

“Scared of the mirror” #8

“I should’ve smashed it” #9

“And shown you the madness” #10

“The dreams” #11

“And the damage” #12

“And dammit I hate this disguise” #13

Something centered around Sunset hiding from Sci-twi in my au… l o r e

This will take a while… but I hope it turns out well! Also I tried out a new type of shading method (?) here but it took me nearly 3 hours to do just this so I think I’m probably still doing something wrong 😅

Please feel free to leave constructive feedback along with any comments!! I’d really appreciate it :D
