    Fantastic job! I could listen to your well-articulated thoughts all day, this video was such a treat, I'm really glad I stumbled upon it! Genshin's designs have doomed themselves from its conception to be instantly popular flashy consumable products indeed, rather than genuine reflections of a character and their profession/taste. Ganyu and Raiden are some of the worst examples of this. Both in big important roles, neither dressed in a way that makes sense or seems in-character whatsoever and it drives me batty. (Kokomi and Yae Miko dressing like bizzare sultry/cutesy pop idols instead of religous priestesses is another aggravating example.)
    Your art style is clean, concise, and your color choice is lovely on the eyes :)
    I would happily watch you redesign every GI character, but I'm honestly interested in whatever future projects you have! You've earned a subscriber

      I feel the same about Ganyu and Raiden and to a certain extent, Kokomi too. But I think Yae's outfit works since it does reflect Yae's personality, a divine being that enjoys the affairs of mortals and has fun with them.
      My major problem with most designs in genshin (aside from them being almost never practical) is that they don't represent the characters most of the time, which is a huge shame because the men don't get this same kind of treatment

    Great video.
    Also I agree with you that Tignaris desing is kinda offputting to me. I had discussion about it with my friend and she said that "Hes fine".
    Personaly I like asymmetry, but all other details just don't compliment each other. While I see that team tried to balance it out with duality of some elements(like his belt being purple in contrast to yellow flower) it still doesn't work for me.

      i may consider doing some sort of breakdown/redesign of tighnari, genshin designs make frequent use of asymmetry, so i don't think that's really what's off-putting about his design

      I think it's the sheer amount of extra stuff thrown onto him that makes him a bad design. You got an asymmetrical hoodie with a robe on top with brightly colored braids/sashes on the waist and an equally bright but different colored flower and fabric combo on the chest. His hair has green accents but that green doesnt match a green anywhere else on him other than the vision which is a relatively small detail. There's his floating half cape thing and the medal on the other side of his chest on top of a pattern that's on the hoodie and at that point it's hard to notice his sneaker boots right next to the tail
      His whole design is just...too much. You could probably remove 70% of it and make the design better as a result. If I had to redesign him I'd just remove the braid and two gems on the waist, the medal on his chest, make oranges into the red on his pants, remove the half cape, and make either his chest pattern the hair accent color or vice versa

    Wow that was a great breakdown of her outfit and an even better redesign! Keep it up!

    I've always thought of a redesign of her leaning more into the knight idea, giving her proper breastplate and armor a bit loose on her body to show she quite literally still has some growing to do to fit that role. I've never really thought of leaning into the maid part of her and I love seeing your take on a redesign!

    • @malacalico

      honestly one of the coolest things about design exercises like these is that people can go about it a lot of different ways
      literally visualising growing into a role like that is so compelling and i wouldn't have thought of it myself!

    I ADORE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg, I've been looking forward to people making case studies of genshin's character designs for a veeeeeeeeeery long time and this is exactly what I've been hoping for! I've been wanting to do some myself but I don't know how to edit lol
    You artstyle is wonderful, thank you for making this video.
    I know you said you wouldn't do a series, but if you ever decide to redesign other characters, I'd love to see those as well
    Great work!!!

    Earlier I created maid OC. My point is, at first while designing her I wanted to give her the same hat you gave to redesigned Noelle, but unfortunately couldn't add it into desing. I, also, am not fond of modern maids headpieces and overalls objectified appearance due to anime, which is why I tried to tone down it

    i love how you drew her face and how you drew inspiration from the existing knights of favonious' uniform, since i've always thought it was a bit dumb that she didn't resemble them much in her outfit. you did an amazing job! thanks for posting this.

    Interesting take on Noelle! It makes her feel more practical while keeping her cute.

    0:55 Thats a misleading amount of Money, since to even gain 10 of the most rare that'll cost around over 1,000 US dollars, which no videogame or service in it should add up to that much.
    Most people spend around 20 dollars avarage, they aren't gonna want to waste their time rolling for a character they'll never get, unless they are scammed by Mihoyo.
    Its a You lose the House wins, exactly how Casinos work.
    So yes I would rather focus on the bland Bodytypes and facial structures of basically every playable characters, as the side characters for some reason are the actually cool looking ones.
