Happy Chinese New Year 2026

Here's another Hanfu AU piece featuring young Dalinar and little Adolin/Renarin, with them wandering through a bustling lantern festival. What they’re watching is a Zoumadeng (走马灯), a perfect match for the Year of the Horse! These traditional lanterns use the heat from a candle to make an inner shaft rotate, creating the illusion of paper horses galloping in circles. I really like drawing heartwarming moments for the Kholin family. I hope your new year is just as bright and full of warmth as these lanterns!
