Might properly render it later idk

This is actually my first time trying to make a design for a Genshin character that owns a Vision (all of my other Genshin ocs are just ordinary people with no Visions, which also includes her two younger siblings) - and I tried my very best to make a design for a Vision holder, and this is what I got^^

I don’t think I’m particularly good with making outfits, especially ones that contain any kind of meaning - I just kind of do stuff because I like how it looks (especially for Genshin outfits), but I still try my best to make it fit with the characters and their roles! (along with them following Genshin’s outfit.. principles, wanting to make them as accurate as possible).

I want to explain some parts of her outfit & inspirations:

For her design, when it came to complexity; I went within the context of her being a 4star, because although 4stars are still complex (this IS Genshin after all) - they still have a unique vibe compared to 5stars (along with me wanting her to be just like her parents, who are 4stars).

For the eldest daughter’s design; since she is an inspiring Exorcist in training, I ofc took heavy inspiration from both Chongyun & Shenhe’s outfits (the latter using specifically the designs she had when she was younger), with a little bit of Xingqiu’s outfit as well. She wears an outfit very similar to Chongyun, not only because of uniformity - but also because she’s basically his carbon copy and looks up to him immensely, wanting to be a great Exorcist just like him.

She looks up to her dad a LOT, and I wanted to convey that through their outfits similarities. Along with some similarities to her great-aunt, Shenhe.

As for each layer & detail of the outfit: (going piece by piece)

First off ↑: she wears a full on bodysuit underneath everything, to match with Chongyun’s bodysuit (hc), and Shenhe’s bodysuit. But for her’s in specific; unlike Chongyun & Shenhe’s bodysuits* - her bodysuit covers her from head to toe with the only openings being on her middle-fingers and chest.

*Chongyun’s bodysuit design in my hc; has open shoulders that connect to an open back, with short pant legs, with the gloves as separate pieces. While Shenhe’s bodysuit design as you know; is full on but has openings on her shoulders, back, fingers, hips and toes.

Second ↑: she wears a hoodie similar to Chongyun, but is a capelet(?) instead - with a red tie attached on the front. Then has a pair of puffy shorts that go up to her waist, with [that cloth thing] attached to them (on the front and back) also similar to Chongyun’s pants - with a belt on top of it, with a Cryo!Vision attached to it, again similar to Chongyun’s (she takes a lot from him lol).

The patterns being displayed here are not finalise, just placeholders to show that there is supposed to be patterns on these two areas (the sides of the shorts also have patterns).

And third ↑: on both of her wrists she wears bandages, with a red bracelet on her left (friendship bracelet between her siblings). Then has a red braided garter on her left thigh, with a tassel attached to it (matching tassels with her parents and siblings) - and finally; she has thick legwarmers that were gifted by her little sister, who made them herself (wanting her older sister to keep warm).

If you are interested in maybe a little more info on some design aspects and also detailed portraits of her and her siblings, check out this post^^

Andddd.. that’s everything!!^^ this is pretty lengthy, but I wanted to explain and describe parts of the outfit bc I like doing that (this is also mainly for my moot anyway, teehee^^) - but yeah, I’m very proud of this design and it’s details <3

We're ignoring the hood here for the sake of the design.

Also I envisioned the tiger to be inverted from what I have here since it's supposed to be a white tiger but I can't do simple designs for the life of me and it's clearer this way around. Of course we'd want to simplify it for an official design anyway.

I never really draw mountains so that's the best I could do at the moment lol. You get the idea. Alternatively there would be an addition of a river between them to clarify that it's the valley and not the mountains (which is a very important distinction). It would fit perfectly with the yin symbolism btw it's just that it's even more detail that would have once again gotten out of hand in my case. (-_-;)

Okay so.. with these references, I got two pattern design ideas! the first one is with the Valley idea; I feel like the Valley design works the best for the capelet, it’s more simple and calming (I think it would also work for [those cloth things] as well). And so I tried my best to create a design for it - and this is what I got:

I tried to make it as simple as I could, while trying to make it very “artistry” if that makes sense? I included the river in between the mountains as suggested, with also a cloud as well (with also a mockup idea of cloud outlines stationed on the back of the capelet, tho I’m not sure if I like it or not, along with worrying it might be too much - but I’ll still put the idea out there).

There’s definitely some tweaking that could be done with the design (since this is the first draft I did), but overall this is the general idea I got for the pattern.

The second design idea I got revolves around the Tiger idea; and tbh, I love both pattern ideas - and really wanted to do both, sooo.. while trying to sleep, I got the idea of making it a mural design stationed on the back of her bodysuit!

Sense her bodysuit is very plain, given the fact it has no openings besides very small ones (unlike Chongyun & Shenhe), I thought of putting a Tiger outline on the back of it (similar to my hc design for Chongyun’s bodysuit) made in gold.

I tried making it similar to the aesthetic of both the design idea for Chongyun’s, and the Phoenix seen on Xingqiu’s coat - along with clouds surrounding it. And tbh I’m quite happy with both the design and the idea, I think it’s very neat!^^

Here’s also a visual example of what it would look like in colour:

Oh and ALSO, I forgot to mention this in the original post but; for her body-type I wanted the eldest daughter to have muscle in her arms, with her shoulder is being a bit wide - not only from the fact she trains a lot (just like her dad), but also because I like to think she inherited Chongyun & Shenhe’s absolute ridiculous strength, once again continuing the generation with their weird quirks (she used to carry her siblings around when she was very little because she was able to hold them effortlessly, either just walking around with them or bringing them with her so they can sleep together. “Honey!? w-where are you taking them-” was said a lot by Chongyun & Xingqiu lol

But yeah! these are the design concepts I got from your references!!^^ I love both of the concepts SO much, that I honestly can’t choose between them, so I wanted to see if it was possible to incorporate both - and this is what I got!^^

I have used your first draft as a base to keep the vibe and so I could fully focus on design instead of fighting with human anatomy. I hope that is alright with you. If not, do tell me immediately!

Also tell me if something is illegible btw

Here it is with everything at full opacity

I really like how the misty, circular designs on the dark parts simulate tiger stripes! It's something that just happened but as Bob Ross says: "happy accidents"!

Also another idea I had while letting the brain rot take me: Maybe we could match the tiger mural with the tail so it looks like it's actually the tiger's tail in a way? It would mean repositioning the tiger but I think it would also be really cool.

Another idea I had was this:

Because the legwarmers give big paw vibes and she definitely could use extra warmth in the winter.

And so without further ado.. HERE SHE FINALLY IS AFTER ALL THIS TIME!!

I’m so happy and proud of how this turned out!! I’m much more satisfied with this design when comparing it to the first draft, and I definitely think it feels much more “Genshin”, which is my number one goal. And again ty for the help!

I love what you did with the shorts and [that cloth thing], and although I did altar some parts (mainly the top of both of them) - that was done mainly for simplicity reasons and keeping the design consistent with Chongyun and my hcs for the key parts of their uniforms.

Okay now to explain everything in more detail: (one by one)

Starting with things that didn’t change much and only got little additions:

The bodysuit has remained unchanged with the only differences being what we have established earlier in this post (making the gradient higher, and the Tiger mural on the back) - along with the bandages, the red bracelet (tho now on her right), the red tassel garter, and leg-warmers staying the same.

The capelet is mostly unchanged, but now has the finalised patterns on both the right and left; with the Valley design on [her left], and a finished version of the cloud pattern on [her right]*. The back of the capelet also now having new additions; with a cut and gold piece in the centre, pattern on the hoodie (just like Chongyun’s hoodie), with finally the red tie now being made out of a red rope (similar to her garter) - and I love how it looks with all of these additions!

*The full patterns will be included under the cut!!

And now for the major changes and focal point of this:

I LOVE the wide-open shorts idea and the two tone design! and so all I really did was make them more simple in their design, and made them more shorter (for one main reason*, but also so they align with Genshin’s “principles” (<- the length)) and have a mirrored design for both sides (just like Xingqiu’s shorts^^)

Also I’m not good at making wide-open shorts (because it looks flat when the drawing is straightforward and the details of the body are removed, which fucks with my brain, making it no longer feel 3D 😓😅), so please keep that in mind, but just know they are wide-open!!! - and FYI: [those cloth things] are permanently attached to the shorts, and can’t be removed. This is only for reference of what they look like, rather than what’s physically possible.

For the belt, it didn’t change much and all I did was give it a finalise design - with little star shapes and belt buckle (both similar to what’s on Chongyun’s). And finally; [those cloth things] were honestly what gave me the most trouble, specifically with figuring out their colours and what I wanted to do for the patterns (mainly for the back…) - but I’m happy with the end results!

For the front piece; I made it so there was a noticeable length difference between it and the shorts - so they don’t blend into each other (if they were close in length) and to help with the overall silhouette^^ - while for the back piece; I absolutely adore the Tiger tail shape idea!!! and this specific shape I did for the back immediately came to mind. And with the length of it also helping with the overall silhouette with the front piece and shorts^^

As for the colours; while I was drawing and was making the shorts blue, with the [cloth thing] being dark grey (just like in your og reference image), I noticed that my eyes kept focusing on the blue, and looking past the [cloth thing], so I tried swapping the colours, and I think this was a much better choice. Not only for colouring, but also because when it comes to the bottom half of her outfit, the eyes should be focusing on the centrepiece of it, not what’s behind it, which is what the blue was doing in its original place - this also helped with keeping the shorts more simple*.

And lastly; for the patterns** I went with more clouds, to match with the top half of her outfit, and added the same design as what’s on Chongyun’s outfit and it’s back [cloth thing] - with the underneath/back parts being blue so they stand out against her black bodysuit from the front!!

Given how many patterns are featured on both the front and back pieces, *I decided to not have any major designs on the shorts (like on the og images) - allowing [those cloth things] to stand out on their own, and be the centrepieces for the bottom part of her outfit!!^^ (also the design of the clouds kind of look like Tiger stripes in a way, I hope you can see it too^^)

**The full patterns will be included under the cut!!

One final note: I love the thick arm-warmers idea a LOT, and I definitely think she has a variant of her outfit including them!!! (I actually like to hc that all of the characters have ‘winter versions’ of their regular outfits - and the eldest definitely has them with her winter variant^^)

ANDDD… THAT’S EVERYTHING!!!! holy shit this took SO long, not only for the drawings, but also this post.. but it’s all finally here now!!!

It took a lot of trial and error, but I ended with something I’m happy with - and I hope you’re happy with it too, moot^^ (again I appreciate you so much for your help with this, the difference between the original draft design is honestly crazy - like damn, our girl has come along way-), but yeah!!^^ ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Alright, here's my main thoughts while reading through this:

First off, you're very welcome for the references! They're the most effective way to get ideas across and I was drawing them out anyway. Also, it's nice seeing what we were thinking about at the time lol.

Honestly, this was a first suggestion and I was fully prepared to continue working on it. There was another idea floating around with giving her some nice soft frills a la Xingqiu. I did like the idea but when I drew it out it was very bird-like, which wouldn't be too much of a stretch. And yet, she's a tiger, not a birb. I'm happy that this other idea stuck and turned out so well though!

I love the sharpness you gave the shorts and back fabric with the extending golden pieces! While I was working on it I was fully in the 'soft' mode because yin and all that, but the sharpness actually balances everything so nicely. And the gold borders? *chefs kiss* very genshin, very nice.

I do have to emphasise this but your choice to put the valley on her left side fits perfectly with Yin symbolism. Idk if you picked that because the tiger stands for the west or if you just went with the vibe but that's just perfect!

I Love the color you picked for the fabric! Very icy! And yet weirdly soft. The clouds look so nice on it and I appreciate that you kept the tiger stripe look of them!

And Yeah, I was also struggling a little with picking a color for the lower shorts. At some point I just said 'eh it's a suggestion at first anyway' and completely forgot to mention it in my post sorry about that. You definitely made the right call with switching the colors! Who knew it'd be so simple to fix? Honestly, very smart. Never would've thought of that for some reason lol.

I cannot stress enough how happy it makes me that you like my arm warmer - leg warmer winter paw idea! It kept jumping out at me and I just loved it way too much to not atleast suggest it.

Oooohhh I see!! we could definitely reincorporate the frills for the youngest daughter! (since her outfit is more Fontainian, pretty frills and ruffles are a guarantee when it comes to that fashion style!), so we can definitely still use that idea just for the youngest instead^^

Yeah!!! when it came to that little extended part on the shorts; I was originally going to do that “swirl” idea, like in your original reference, and besides the fact that I just couldn’t get it to look right, I instead tried using that little extended gold piece on [that cloth thing], and it turned out really good - so I made it a specific feature! (and it’s also much more simple, but still noticeable), and teehee thank you so much^^

The Valley design being put on her left was actually completely unintentional, and I just felt that it looked the best on that side - just a funny coincidence^^

Aww tysmmm!! it was not easy trying to figure out what I wanted to do, but I’m super happy with the end result and I’m glad you like it too!!^^ (and yeah the clouds making up tiger stripes!), and don’t worry about not previously mentioning the colouring of the shorts^^ I honestly didn’t see any issues myself, until I started drawing it and added the colours and details. Yeah it’s crazy how things work like that (I noticed how my eyes kept fixating on the blue, so I decided to swap them - and it was definitely the best call!!)

It’s absolutely adorable and I love the idea so much!!!! I will definitely feature them whenever I make art related to the winter variance of their outfits!!

AHHHHH I’M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT!!!!!! ⸜( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )⸝

I just love how messing around helped with alot of issues. It is very much in the spirit of art and creativity to mess around and it just brings us full circle so beautifully ^^

I can't believe we already have a full design for one of the three. And that before we have a name down. Really need to get to that huh?

This is my first time making birthday art for someone who isn’t a family member, so I’m feeling extremely nervous posting this - but I wanted to do something for you because you’re cool and awesome!^^ I hope your day is good, and you have a wonderful birthday!! congrats on ageing lmao 🥳🎉 !!!!

I’ve actually been meaning to draw Kizuma for quite awhile now, and back in September while looking for references - I saw your bday post from 2024, and knew what I had to do >:3 (also I really hope this is at the right time and date, yk timezones, so praying this is correct-)

You lowkey jumpscared me with this?

One moment I'm getting ready for bed and the next, boom, a full art piece! The most I would have thought would happen was a silly little sketch since you have also been busy working on stuff. But no. Slapped me right in the face front and back with it lol.

I'm absolutely honored to be the first recipient of birthday art outside of your family! That actually means so much ^^ The day was actually considerably nice and thank you! Ageing is such an accomplishment frfr. Not everyone can do it and yet I have mastered it so well that I have been acutely feeling my bones for years now lmao

I'm actually impressed that you managed to piece together her design so well with the few posts I made of her! She's meant to be really fluffy so I appreciate the extra effort of the floof! For not being well practiced in it you conveyed it really nicely ^^ She looks like you can sink into the floof until you disappear. Also, it's really smart to use my banner art as inspo! You have turned it into something new and packed it with so much more life and meaning now. She's dazzling amongst the stars just like your art does to me. Pretty and unique which will make me sherish this gift forever. <3

Hehehe that’s the art of ‘art surprises’^^ you never know what I’m going to do, and it can happen at ANY moment!! >:3 - and since this is my first bday art for you, I wanted it to be a full piece. And I’m so happy it was a welcomed surprise!

I’m so happy to hear that! making art for something is my main way of showing my appreciation for it, and that includes people^^ I make art for my irl friends birthdays every year, and randomly whenever I get the sudden urge too - and that means you too^^ I know I say it a lot; but you’re super cool and I want to be able to show my appreciation for everything you’ve done in any way I can (for helping write character stuff, hcs, extending ideas, being so fun to talk to, and just being able to talk about my biggest interest on a level I’ve never been able to do after many years, and so much more!!!), and that includes making art for you^^ (even if I got very nervous leading up to the day, since it was my first time doing this, but I’m all okay now). And that’s good to hear your day was good! and my god you truly own so many magnificent talents, not everyone can do it, it takes a lot of time and practice - but you have mastered the art of getting old lmao

I’m so glad I got her just right!!! and yippee I’m happy I got her fluff perfectly^^ and yeah! when I think of your art, the piece in your banner is always the first one that comes to mind, it’s so pretty and I wanted to reference it (and also wanted to try drawing a background like that, since I never really do that^^) - and thank you so muchhhh.. that’s so sweet, I’m happy you like it!!! 🥹🥹

And you’re very much welcome!!!!!^^ (and actually here’s a little doodle I did as a reminder before making the full piece as well, since I forgot to include it^^)

And of course it's welcomed! I appreciate every art piece someone makes for me, especially fully rendered pieces. People putting in the time and effort for me will forever mean so much to me. As you said, when an artist makes art for someone as a gift it's because they want to show their appreciation for the person. It's so special to get art from someone and I will lose myself to the void before not recognizing any of this lol.

It's insane to me that I have art that people remember me by. I have no idea if my artstyle is recognizable but atleast I know now that the flow is! I'm happy that I inspired you to draw something new! Not just the floof but also the starry universal goodness look so nicely done ^^

And awwwww!! I’m so happy to hear that^^ I actually got super nervous while drawing it, because I wanted to put out my best (due to my perfectionism), because as I have said; this was my first time making art for someone who wasn’t a family member, and it being your birthday and all - which caused me to feel really bummed out, and worrying it wasn’t good enough… but after talking to my bestie, they were able to remind me that the fact I’m even doing this in the first place is what matters here - and that even if I don’t see it as being good enough, that’s not going to be the case for you. And that really helped, and after I finished the piece, I was happy with it^^ (ty to my bestie <3)

Yes! and at least to me; I think it’s super recognisable^^ the way you draw and your artstyle is very unique!!! (the fluffiness that you give ponies is one of the major aspects, they’re just sooooo…. /pos) — and yeah! and tyyyyy!!!^^

Your bestie is right! It's the thought that counts. And I would have also appreciated it if it was just the little chibi sketch. Of course, the fact that you put in the extra time and effort to render a full piece just for my birthday means so much to me! It's very lovely of you to do this for me.

This is my first time making birthday art for someone who isn’t a family member, so I’m feeling extremely nervous posting this - but I wanted to do something for you because you’re cool and awesome!^^ I hope your day is good, and you have a wonderful birthday!! congrats on ageing lmao 🥳🎉 !!!!
