Baihe Audio Drama Art by Nongmin Shanquan

[douqi]

My brain being too fried for anything heavily words-based this week, I thought I would put together a collection of baihe audio drama art by the artist Nongmin Shanquan (农民山泉), whose distinctive and instantly recognisable art style sets her work apart from what the cookie-cutter prettiness that dominates much of the genre.



Poster for the Revolutionary Road (革命之路, pinyin: geming zhi lu) audio drama, featuring the characters Wang Ruoxi, Ding Youlei and Wei Jing, based on the novel of the same title by Ning Yuan (宁远) (reviewed here).


Another poster for the Revolutionary Road audio drama, featuring the characters Gu Yizhe, Yang Youjing and Wu You.


Poster for the audio drama Fake Amnesia (伪装失忆, pinyin: weizhuang shiyi), based on the novel of the same title by Xiao Shui Xuan Ge (潇水玄舸).


Poster for the audio drama Let's Get Married First (可以先结婚, pinyin: keyi xian jiehun), based on the novel of the same title by Ning Yuan.


Poster for the audio drama I Wish I Knew How to Quit You (总有老师要请家长, pinyin: zongyou laoshi yao qing jiazhang), based on the novel of the same title by Jing Wu (璟梧).


Poster for the audio drama My First Love Regrets Letting Me Slip Through Her Fingers (白月光她追悔莫及, pinyin: baiyueguang ta zhuihui mo ji), based on the novel of the same title by Tu Ni (荼倪).


Poster for the audio drama Distance (距离, pinyin: juli), based on the novel of the same title by Mi Nao Nao (米闹闹).


Poster for the audio drama The Light (微光, pinyin: wei guang), based on the novel of the same title by Yu Shuang (鱼霜).


Poster for the audio drama Fascinating (入迷, pinyin: rumi), based on the novel of the same title by Qing Tang Shuan Xiang Cai (清汤涮香菜).


Poster for the audio drama Lure (诱饵, pinyin: you'er), based on the novel of the same title by Xiao Bao (晓暴).

Check out the artist's Weibo here for sketches, fan art, private commissions, and general updates.

Note: The artist's handle is almost certainly a riff on Nongfu Spring (农夫山泉, pinyin: nongfun shanquan), China's most popular bottled water brand. If I had ten pence for each time someone associated with Chinese GL decided to name herself after a well-known domestic beverage brand, I would have twenty pence, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice (the other namer-of-self-after-popular-beverage-brand being, of course, the actress/cosplayer formerly known as Wang Laoji, star of an absurd number of GL mini-dramas, who these days is officially credited as Wang Xuexi (王学习) and known to her fans as Jiji (吉吉)).
