Mei Wu is here!
Hooray, the brand-spanking new work is here!
As a little bit of a break from Elf Blood, and in a bid to get some print work done, I’ve embarked on a little diversion here. Mei Wu is my loveletter to Chinese mythology, and centres around a society of fox spirits. The world of Mei Wu was two years in the making, based on discussions I’ve had with my aunt and my uncle, books I’ve read, and general making-stuff-up based on tradition, legend and other folklore!
Incidentally, the title is a pun (which I hope works as well as I think it does); nine-tailed fox spirits are known in Cantonese as Gau Mei Wu. However, I have replaced the word Mei (tail) for the word Mei (beautiful), which is also quite fitting as fox spirits took on the form of beautiful young women, and were often seductresses.
Anyway, hope you’re looking forward to the story! Catch you on Monday!

This looks awesome!
