Qi’nya is probably the most difficult character to draw (though it feels like whoever I’m drawing at any given time is hardest). I’ve always picture him as having a fox face (like Gin from Bleach or Mitsune from Love Hina), but the slanted eyes are surprisingly difficult, and I’m not committed to drawing them closed. I also wanted to give hive a more aquiline nose, but I never really had the confidence for it.

I mirrored the middle panel for some consistency in which hand was holding the hair pins.
