Howdy y'all, thanks for stopping by! (^^)/ Hope you had fun with this one, and here's wishing you all a very merry end-of-December however you celebrate! (We had some snow this week and it's so CHILLY! Make sure you're staying cozy 💖✨☃)
You missed one of the funniest parts of Cyno's bad jokes, when people don't laugh, he thinks they just didn't understand the joke and thus explains it, in EXCRUTIATING DETAIL XD
Fun Fact! The reason Cyno has such "blatant YuGiOh parody" energy is because his voice actor CyYu/KaggyFilms is a HUGE YuGiOh fan. He had been hoping since Zhongli to get to voice a character in the game, so when he finally got to with Cyno he asked if he could have bad puns and YuGiOh phrases since that's what he is known for in his streams and youtube videos xD
Ever since I played genshin my clothing designs have improved by a lot. There's so many little trinkets and details that really tell you what the character is (aside from profession, dear God yanfei does NOT look like a legal adviser💀💀)
Games like Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact and Onmyoji tend to have great character designs! Tho u can find even more on Pinterest from various artists 😅
@@scrubmmm8643 this is SO true its honestly my biggest gripe with a lot of the designs: the characters dont quite look what they are meant to be. You would never guess from looking at Faruzan that she´s meant to be this really good mathematical scholar, or from looking at Al´Haitham that he´s meant to be... a scribe???
MMM. Men. Also Tighnari is hilarious. I love how sassy he is when it comes to him telling us about stuff. "what are they gonna do? lock me up?" that bit is peak. Cyno should learn from him
The absolute JOY I felt when Tighnari and Cyno were painted with darker skintones is undescribable. I've loved Sumeru thus far, but the only thing I really hate is the blatant disregard hoyoverse showed for making all the characters there (except the enemies and Dehya) white. So to see Cyno and Tighnari in the skintones they should've had, it made me very happy.
@@Chocky-Art Most Sumeru characters, like Tighnari, should've had a darker skintone considering Sumeru is a nation based off of African, Egyptian, and Southeast Asian cultures. Nilou is alright considering she's based off of Persian culture and they usually have lighter skin, but from what I've heard, her clothes are inaccurate.
To be fair to Mihoyo, theyre literally not legally allowed to have any protagonist have a lot of melanin due to the chinese governments media laws. Its the same reason Itto didnt get the Jojo-esque body they wanted to give him.
it's a small touch but i really love the skintone you used for tighnari !! i've loved genshin for a long time but it's so constantly disheartening to see some of the ways hoyoverse handled sumeru after the high hopes for culture it set in the others :,) i'm not sure how to word it, but it's comforting to see this support from ppl who aren't affected directly by it too, because it's SO common for genshin fans to completely ignore and silence those hurt by things if it's not affecting them specifically, if that makes sense. i'm glad that you acknowledge it! also, the art as a wholoe is STUNNING as always i love seeing these kinds of designs in your art style and how expressively you pose them!! also also i absolutely agree about tighnari's design in general i find it such a mess of colours and fashion, if you ever wanted to try redesigning genshin characters your personal way i'd love to see that ! :D
If I had a nickel for every time the genshin banners have delivered 5 stars for folks while watching my genshin-themed videos today I'd have two nickels which isn't much but it's wild that's it's now happened twiCE IN ONE DAY OMG-- congrats!!✨
14:58 if I had to guess this was another instance of Hoyoverse noticing memes and jokes and then making them canon in one way or another (this particular one being the “Timmy is the REAL final boss” joke I saw floating around a little bit)
I love your videos I can put them on in the background while I'm drawing- I like the idea that hundreds of artists come together and are drawing along with you at the same time!
yeah!! i always need something in the background to look at/listen to while drawing, and his vids are perfect because they're relaxing and a huge source of inspiration :)
THE WAY I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THE PUPPET PART ON SCARA'S LEG 😭😭 A lot of people draw him like he was a human but i LOVE the ball-joint doll body concept for Scara i am so happy you included that
i love that he didnt make tighnari light as a paper sheet really casually❤ its a small thing and it's probably unintentional but i find it really cool edit: its intentional and im very happy
@@broblerone413 dont think its good to change the skin tone of any character.. its like if you made a black character slightly lighter (excluding instance of lighting), thats not okay
@@amber-ce9vd The difference is genshin tends to white wash people, the 'darker' characters in the game aren't any darker than most white people which isn't the best range of skintones. Tighnari is also from a region based on real world places where, in said places, people are usually not white and given that quite litterly all of the sumeru characters are paper white I don't think it's a problem to change tighnari to be darker.
@@bluusonn i dont think hoyoverse is “whitewashing” per say but they do make their characters lighter, and their darkest characters are at most deep tan. and since hoyoverse is a chinese company their diversity range isnt that high compared to other companies like in the west. the companies lack of knowledge to the diverse cultures that sumeru (which most of the darker skinned characters appear) are inspired from can also be a factor to why the characters are lighter skinned. even if global players are adamant on wanting darker more diverse range of skintones and representation, hoyoverse would 1. not really understand, and the game developers wouldn’t really jnow the best way to bring diversity (since i have seen people from the irl regions sumeru was based off of complain about the inaccuracies of their culture). so even if hoyoverse did bring more representation, it likely might not be done well which players would also complain about. and its not hard to just make the skin of the characters have a diverse range, but also china has a lot of xenohobia and racism and there oculd be inside company influences that also effected the cracter designs to be lighter skinned, even if there are people within the company that want more diverse characters.
Ok but is nobody talking abt this small detail? In the Wanderer Art, even before he came out. ABD made those knobs at the knees, joints, and wrists of dolls. Symbolizing how he was a “puppet”
The little animation in the corner with Leif at the end is SO CUTE!! 🍁Each of your illustrations are so vibrant and dynamic and just a delight to see. ✨
i swear every time alex draws genshin characters its such a nice time listening to the explanation on the little design choices like the ball joint on scaramouche
hey ABD! glad i’m here early! i also got cyno, and i ACTUALLY LOVE HIM?? he is so hilarious, and has GREAT synergy with nahida/lesser lord kussanali in game! edit: i also have to say that tighnari is soodjdjdj freaking funny, and his english VA is just as absolutely UNHINGED JDJDJ
Nahida is so good with him it's crazy 💀 now i just gotta wait for Tighnari to show up....please i'm begging you i'm sorry i didn't pull on your initial banner 😭😭😭
God, I LOVE how dynamic the poses are! Even if it's not a big fighting move, or another sort of action-y pose it conveys the character's personality so well! Also, all the magic effects make the fantasy nerd part of my brain happy. -w-
How???? Every video leaves me stunned. Your composition is absolutely flawless. Whenever I have art block I always find myself here before I make a pose that blows my mind. And god, genshin characters are so much cooler in your style, you make them look like themselves and accentuate the best part of their designs with all the flowy bits in the perfect places. Just… aghh.. it’s amazing 🤩
The way my jaw flung open when I realised you were giving wanderer such an outgoing kick pose because that fits him so well, I recently got him and the way I still get exited whenever I use his elemental burst. The sound effects, the pose ect it’s so hype. I just love they way you drew all of these characters and it really expires me to grow out of my comfort zone more often!
How you draw the characters really brings out who they are/what they're like, you did such beautiful work. And yes, that scene with Alhaitham really was something 🙏
I absolutely adore the card game that Cyno introduced us to. It's so fun and I really want mihoyo to create an irl version so I can play it with my friends. I haven't had this much fun with cards since pokemon!
When I'vse seen Tighnari and Cyno on the thumbnail I started jumping, I adore them as individuals and as a duo. 🥰(Their voice artists are also hilarious) I also wasn't a big fan of Tighnari's design at first because of the strange clashing color choices, but his personality put him high up on my favorite list. Cyno on the other hand was love at first sight, mostly because I love shorties and polearm characters, and his nerdy personality and bad jokes just made him my second favorite genshin character of all time (after Xiao). 💟 The way you drew him is sooo cool and dynamic! I was waiting for you to add that gradient effect on Cyno's armguard, it's such a nice detail! And oh little gremlin Scara... the BJD joints on the stepping-on-people angle Scara is a nice touch! You mentioned you also like Kazuha, it would be a blast to see all the anemo boys in your style! 🍁
I think all artist's hearts skipped a beat when they first revealed Tighnari's design, but I grew to love him as well because I really really love his personality too I'm so happy to see you draw genshin characters again, I really love your style so seeing these characters I love drawn by you is always a great experience
haha i think im the odd one out because i really liked it when i first saw it! i love his tea green eyes and the base colors of dark green and blue its just mwa.
@@naomi9413 I know this is an older comment, but I don't think his base color designs are bad! The distribution of it is what's so strange and also how saturated they are haha
I love what you did with all of them! Mouchey looks like hes in full gremlin with his face and his pose, it brings out in equal parts the sort of childishness associated him and all the menace he has been and can be. It'd be really funny if you do end up sketching Alhaitham and out them side by side like they're trying to one up eachother's flexibility. I also!! Love what you did with Tighnari and Cyno, their darker skin tones just really seem to suit the colors in their clothes better if you feel me? Especially with Cyno and how the saturation of his skin brings out the gold glints of his armor more and meshes better with all the black without overwhelming the purple of his claws. I'm in the same boat with Tighnari I really didn't think I would like him as much as I do especially since I don't like the aimed shot sorta playstyle but he's just so fact and jumpy and all over the place and if he gets hit hard enough he goes *I'll bury you* and it speaks to me on such a primal level, which is so funny because he's such an intellectual character it's almost ironic. Good luck on your future wishes! Here's hoping we both get Alhaitham and complete the set in this video
I would love to see how your redesign would look like someday. I've been loving all the designs other people made and I'm curious what my fave artist would do
It is truly amazing seeing an artist whom of which I look up to so so much (and has been a big inspiration in all of my works) drawing characters I have fallen in love with. You drew all of these characters in such lovely ways. Thank you, they all look stunning. And I know everyone would be really excited to see a drawing of Kazuha!
I keep telling myself to download Genshin and actually play it, not just scroll for fanart, but I keep getting distracted by all the fan content. Awesome work! I love listening to your rambles about the characters you enjoy.
i saw the thumbnail and i was like "ooo!" and then i saw the title and then i was like "OOO!" and i clicked on it and then i was like "yess!!!" love your content :D
As an Andalusian, the place from which the historical figure that inspired Tighnari comes from, thank you for not making him albino like the 95% of the roster!
The doll joints on Scaramouche! My favorite interpretation of his design, I think it gives him so much intrigue and really sells the whole idea of him being a puppet.
God I LOVE how these turned out they're literally so lovely. The colours and dynamic poses are just perfect, it's so crazy to see just how much your art's been improving. My mind still gets blown everytime I see how well you draw hands and shoes... I definitely think this has gotta be one of my favourite works from you and I'm not even that big of a fan of Genshin haha :]
I haven’t watched the video yet but I cannot begin to explain how excited I am, you are one of my favorite artists and context creators and I am super excited ^^
All of these are awesome, but I love your drawing of Alhaitham so much I AM IN TEARS! He is so beautiful I'm literally crying... Certainly can't wait for his banner to drop!
Genuinely every single time you post something and I watch it I am immediately struck with the need to character design or just work on my own drawing skills. You're just so inspirational man it's crazy.
YEAHHH MELANINNN *cough* anyway your art is super cool! honestly one day i wish to be able to be like you and do the things that you do. I'm sure you must have a hard time and i don't want to glorify it, but it's still my dream! not to mention how amazingly you do everything you set your mind to. Hopefully i can get my foot in it soon, i'm already 17! haha but seriously you're a real inspiration, i can't wait to see what you do next, even if my adhd makes it hard to completely keep up as much as i'd want ^^
I adore the edits that you’ve done where they were the drawings in general are Chefs Kiss love it and your style it’s some god tier stuff Also, I love that Cyno being the absolute menace in combat that he is also likes dad jokes to the point there’s a npc in the library hiding from him hoping he will not tell said jokes. A true menace
The way i was watching this during my school lunch break and got so many stares... I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE MY FAVORITE BOYS IN YOUR STYLE, I WAS LITERALLY AIR PUNCHING THE TABLE, VIVIDLY MOUTHING WORDS AND HYSTERICALLY SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AAAAAAA!! SUCH GOOD WORK I AM IN SO MUCH AWE!!!
13:17 That is so fucking iconic. “Please for the love of the Dendro Archon don’t let him make jokes, whatever you do, do everything in your power to stop him from making jokes!”
Tighnari and Cyno are two of my favorite characters! Honestly if I met Cyno IRL I think I'd literally die from laughing at his puns. Every time he makes one in game i start laughing and wheezing. And Melanin! Melanin is always welcome in fanart! Your rendering is beautiful as always and I'm frankly jealous of Alhaitham's hair.
My favorite artist posted LEST GOOO AND ITS A GAME I LIKE Edit: ALSO I'D LOVE TO SEE REDESIGNS, ESPECIALLY FOR CHARACTERS LIKE CANDACE AND YAE MIKO WHO WERE DONE PORLY FROM THEIR SOURCES!
Honestly completely agree with him ab tighnari. I was pulling for collei cause I love her character but got him, I more or less ignored him for a while and built dendro traveller instead. But then I started using him and he's really fun plus I like his personality so that's nice.
More Genshin art, woohoo! I grabbed Wanderer much earlier than I anticipated and he's been fun to mess around with. I'm also much better at playing Tighnari than I expected to be XD Turns out I'm just bad at Ganyu. Your art continues to astound (and ngl I'd still love to see Albedo in your style someday if you ever feel so led) and all these characters look great!
Bro, what’s the deal with me watching a video from you and then on the same day you post a follow up to that same exact video i watched! That’s so cool and such a blessing!
Your story about pulling Scara is so relatable. I got to 21 pity on his banner (2draws) and got a gold. The QiQi showed up. And then Scaramouche straight after for 5 pity in the same draw. I got Wanderer in a double with QiQi of all characters.
WHEN THE WORLD NEEDED HIM MOST ALEX RETURNS!! ❤ seriously your videos are perfect for chilling out and watching when im revising or just finished an exam! i really really appreciate your content and chill vibes😭💞
I usually just lurk around, but UGHH! I love your art so much!! I don't know how to describe your style, like it feels... Calculated?? Geometrical coolness I don't know how to explain what I'm talking about, but I love it
Hi, I too enjoy short, angry emos who are mean to me so I appreciate all Scara content. His idle makes me screech in a feral manner. If you're a Scara fan, you know the one. Best of luck for your Alhaitham pulls. May the grumpy nerd come home. Editing to say I agree about that scene. It came out of nowhere and I loved it.
I had an interesting journey with Scaramouche, at first I hated him (I wasn't playing back when the event with him was released, I just despised him based on the Inazuma content), then I started to be a fan and the Sumeru quest made me into a massive Scara simp. Got him super early into his banner and I've never been happier
I have never played _Genshin_ but to be honest, I am getting really tempted with all the Fan Art and Cosplay... It's probably normal, but I personally believe that a Fan Art video from you is far more successfull in convincing people to play it, then a skippable add. _I shouldn't need to say this, since it is obvious, but they all look amazing! And I have no idea how they look like in game._
I didn't know you enjoyed genshin so much (maybe that was already common knowledge and I'm behind, idk) so that's such a pleasure to see you illustrate my favorite characters :) (You've also given me the motivation to finally finish my Scaramouche illustration)
Howdy y'all, thanks for stopping by! (^^)/
Hope you had fun with this one, and here's wishing you all a very merry end-of-December however you celebrate! (We had some snow this week and it's so CHILLY! Make sure you're staying cozy 💖✨☃)
the way you draw them
These look amazing! Your uploads really make my day 😊
You drew them amazingly!!! I hope you had good luck pulling for the characters you wanted! I personally got scaramouche, and his skill is crazy.
Blackwashed tighnari
So is the protagonist in tears of Themis gender locked?👀

As a Cyno main and entrepreneur of bad jokes, the amount of love I have that you drew my boi and HOW GOOD he turned out cannot be understated 🙏
I PULLED ON CYNO'S BANNER WHILE YOU WERE SHOWING YOUR PROCESS ON HIM AND I INSTANTLY GOT HIM WTF

"he is so hilarious"
Didn't know nahida was here!
Nahida is so good with him it's crazy 💀

i can see how much your coloring technique has evolved in this speedpaint. the depth you're able to achieve is awesome!

The Wanderer and Cyno pieces made my jaw drop!! These are all stunning 💕💕💕
I love your artstyle so much! The sumeru characters look amazing! Especially alhaitham. He'll continue to be a feeble scholar but in another artstyle
Very happy to see the nerdy outdoor boyfriends getting their due melanin lol. Your art is amazing as always!
you have no idea how happy it makes me to see you draw scara with ball joints 😭😭
This art is truly beautiful
How you draw the characters really brings out who they are/what they're like, you did such beautiful work. And yes, that scene with Alhaitham really was something 🙏

THE ANIMATION AT THE END skadjasldj Beautiful men! Great work I don't even play Genshin anymore and this was wonderful to watch!
2:20 The best way to get Scaramouche. SUMMON HIM WITH FRIENDS AND THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
I was like 'oh I hope he draws Cyno too' and right after he came on screen, oh the ABSOLUTE JOY
love him to bits, mans hilarious pfff
im terrified of timmie too. fatherless, pigeonless behavior is unpredictable.
I absolutely love watching your videos for inspiration
glad you like 'em dude! 💖
I think all artist's hearts skipped a beat when they first revealed Tighnari's design, but I grew to love him as well because I really really love his personality too

I'm in the same boat with Tighnari I really didn't think I would like him as much as I do especially since I don't like the aimed shot sorta playstyle but he's just so fact and jumpy and all over the place and if he gets hit hard enough he goes *I'll bury you* and it speaks to me on such a primal level, which is so funny because he's such an intellectual character it's almost ironic.
Good luck on your future wishes! Here's hoping we both get Alhaitham and complete the set in this video
Glad to see Tighnari. I love him so much and he looks great in this style
The boys look absolutely stellar in your style, your linework is always so crisp.
I am unimaginably happy about this one. Also Im so glad you kept Scara’s puppet joints 😭
Whoo! I think this is the earliest I've caught a video. Don't even see any comments yet. Excited to see the stellar art, as always!
I really like the way you put a color pallets on tye side, REAAALLY satisfying 🥺💜
I would love to see how your redesign would look like someday. I've been loving all the designs other people made and I'm curious what my fave artist would do
It is truly amazing seeing an artist whom of which I look up to so so much (and has been a big inspiration in all of my works) drawing characters I have fallen in love with. You drew all of these characters in such lovely ways. Thank you, they all look stunning. And I know everyone would be really excited to see a drawing of Kazuha!
I keep telling myself to download Genshin and actually play it, not just scroll for fanart, but I keep getting distracted by all the fan content. Awesome work! I love listening to your rambles about the characters you enjoy.
i saw the thumbnail and i was like "ooo!" and then i saw the title and then i was like "OOO!" and i clicked on it and then i was like "yess!!!"
love your content :D
As an Andalusian, the place from which the historical figure that inspired Tighnari comes from, thank you for not making him albino like the 95% of the roster!
The doll joints on Scaramouche! My favorite interpretation of his design, I think it gives him so much intrigue and really sells the whole idea of him being a puppet.
Do you have any Genshin OCs? The characters from that game have such interesting designs, it definitely feels up your alley.
God I LOVE how these turned out they're literally so lovely. The colours and dynamic poses are just perfect, it's so crazy to see just how much your art's been improving. My mind still gets blown everytime I see how well you draw hands and shoes... I definitely think this has gotta be one of my favourite works from you and I'm not even that big of a fan of Genshin haha :]
thank you so much! 💖
What a lovely way to spend my monday evening, thank you for the blessing alex
Thank YOU for spending some of your evening hanging out here dude! 💖
@@ABDIllustrates of course!! Gotta hang out with my fav artist when I get the chance yk :)
I haven’t watched the video yet but I cannot begin to explain how excited I am, you are one of my favorite artists and context creators and I am super excited ^^
watching you is SO INSPIRATIONAL! ARRRRRGH I wanna create artwork like that as well!
I've never played Genshin Impact, I've never been interested in Genshin Impact, but I can not deny that there are a lot of good looking lads-
All of these are awesome, but I love your drawing of Alhaitham so much I AM IN TEARS! He is so beautiful I'm literally crying...
Certainly can't wait for his banner to drop!
You know it’s about to be good when you see alex released a new video
13:30 "The man who has the most Seto Kaiba energy since Seto Kaiba."
YES!! SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT!!
I love how i was watching the previous genshin drawings you did when this uploaded. I pray Gorou is in this drawing set.🙏❤️
i had the same feeling with tighnari's design at first but he won me over real fast
Genshin has been my newest hyperfixation and you drawing some of my new favs is amazing and so pretty 🥺💗💗💗
Genuinely every single time you post something and I watch it I am immediately struck with the need to character design or just work on my own drawing skills.
You're just so inspirational man it's crazy.
YEAHHH MELANINNN *cough* anyway your art is super cool! honestly one day i wish to be able to be like you and do the things that you do. I'm sure you must have a hard time and i don't want to glorify it, but it's still my dream! not to mention how amazingly you do everything you set your mind to. Hopefully i can get my foot in it soon, i'm already 17! haha but seriously you're a real inspiration, i can't wait to see what you do next, even if my adhd makes it hard to completely keep up as much as i'd want ^^
I adore the edits that you’ve done where they were the drawings in general are Chefs Kiss love it and your style it’s some god tier stuff
Also, I love that Cyno being the absolute menace in combat that he is also likes dad jokes to the point there’s a npc in the library hiding from him hoping he will not tell said jokes. A true menace
The way i was watching this during my school lunch break and got so many stares... I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE MY FAVORITE BOYS IN YOUR STYLE, I WAS LITERALLY AIR PUNCHING THE TABLE, VIVIDLY MOUTHING WORDS AND HYSTERICALLY SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AAAAAAA!! SUCH GOOD WORK I AM IN SO MUCH AWE!!!
13:17 That is so fucking iconic. “Please for the love of the Dendro Archon don’t let him make jokes, whatever you do, do everything in your power to stop him from making jokes!”
Tighnari and Cyno are two of my favorite characters! Honestly if I met Cyno IRL I think I'd literally die from laughing at his puns. Every time he makes one in game i start laughing and wheezing.
And Melanin! Melanin is always welcome in fanart! Your rendering is beautiful as always and I'm frankly jealous of Alhaitham's hair.
My favorite artist posted LEST GOOO AND ITS A GAME I LIKE
Edit: ALSO I'D LOVE TO SEE REDESIGNS, ESPECIALLY FOR CHARACTERS LIKE CANDACE AND YAE MIKO WHO WERE DONE PORLY FROM THEIR SOURCES!
♡♡♡♡the ball joint on scaramouche♡♡♡ i love how you put so much thourght into the characters
Honestly completely agree with him ab tighnari. I was pulling for collei cause I love her character but got him, I more or less ignored him for a while and built dendro traveller instead. But then I started using him and he's really fun plus I like his personality so that's nice.
I’m not even a big scaramouch fan but when I played the test run for him and used his ultimate I immediately knew I needed to get him.
Genshin impact ad before the video: hello.
Me: oh damn nice timing again ad
More Genshin art, woohoo! I grabbed Wanderer much earlier than I anticipated and he's been fun to mess around with. I'm also much better at playing Tighnari than I expected to be XD Turns out I'm just bad at Ganyu. Your art continues to astound (and ngl I'd still love to see Albedo in your style someday if you ever feel so led) and all these characters look great!
Lovely is litteraly the word to describe ur artstyle
Bro, what’s the deal with me watching a video from you and then on the same day you post a follow up to that same exact video i watched! That’s so cool and such a blessing!
I love your art dude .makes me feel
happy every time I see it and am not usually happy
THE BALL JOINTS- YESS- every time I see a rendition of Scaramouche with ball joints I loose it /Pos/Pos/Pos
I literally squealed when I saw this second video, beautiful art as always and I really would love to see the current team
2:10 YO THATS AWEOSME! Congrats!
Your story about pulling Scara is so relatable. I got to 21 pity on his banner (2draws) and got a gold.
The QiQi showed up.
And then Scaramouche straight after for 5 pity in the same draw.
I got Wanderer in a double with QiQi of all characters.
I LOVE THIS VID also tbh I want to see him draw the owl house characters like the characters would look SO GOOD in his style!
WHEN THE WORLD NEEDED HIM MOST ALEX RETURNS!! ❤ seriously your videos are perfect for chilling out and watching when im revising or just finished an exam! i really really appreciate your content and chill vibes😭💞
That line up woah...
You've levelled up so much
This guy might be a huge fan of Dislyte if he played it lol. The character designs are *Chef Kiss*
I usually just lurk around, but UGHH! I love your art so much!! I don't know how to describe your style, like it feels... Calculated?? Geometrical coolness
I don't know how to explain what I'm talking about, but I love it
Hi, I too enjoy short, angry emos who are mean to me so I appreciate all Scara content. His idle makes me screech in a feral manner. If you're a Scara fan, you know the one.
Best of luck for your Alhaitham pulls. May the grumpy nerd come home.
Editing to say I agree about that scene. It came out of nowhere and I loved it.
YOU DRAW THE HUSBANDS TOGETHER!!!! Cyno and Tighnari live in my head rent free. Genshin designs are always troublesome but the end results are amazing
I had an interesting journey with Scaramouche, at first I hated him (I wasn't playing back when the event with him was released, I just despised him based on the Inazuma content), then I started to be a fan and the Sumeru quest made me into a massive Scara simp. Got him super early into his banner and I've never been happier
I have never played _Genshin_ but to be honest, I am getting really tempted with all the Fan Art and Cosplay... It's probably normal, but I personally believe that a Fan Art video from you is far more successfull in convincing people to play it, then a skippable add.
_I shouldn't need to say this, since it is obvious, but they all look amazing! And I have no idea how they look like in game._
I didn't know you enjoyed genshin so much (maybe that was already common knowledge and I'm behind, idk) so that's such a pleasure to see you illustrate my favorite characters :)
(You've also given me the motivation to finally finish my Scaramouche illustration)
19:12 i've actually made a big ol redesign of nahida
I love Al-Haitham in your style! I can't wait till he releases lol
