#atoyac

all of my Genshin OCs (so far.............) in one post bc why not........i'll probably end up messing with their designs more later but i'm fairly happy w them for the most part

García Cubas, Antonio, Álbum del ferrocarril mexicano, 1877.

Atoyac

One of the Scions of the Canopy, they're a guide by occupation - along with their Saurian companion, a Yumkasaur named Kelesio, they help people safely traverse the Coatepec Mountain. They spend all their free time exploring and bonding with the local wildlife. Their passion for understanding nature and ability to put that knowledge to use in a pinch earned them their Dendro Vision. When by chance they encounter another wildlife enthusiast, Ororon, the two click very quickly.

Arroux (Roux for short)

An artist from Fontaine who uses their Hydro Vision to create watercolor paintings as well as other art highlighting various social injustices. They are extremely well-versed in Fontaine law and a very public critic of its many flaws - after all, you have to know the law to be able to work around it without getting in trouble. Local authorities have received many a complaint about Arroux's installations, but always find everything in perfect legal order. Surprisingly, this is not how they ended up meeting Wriothesley; the two got to know each other by coincidentally frequenting the same cafe.

Kaveri

While their love of nature makes them well suited to their job as a Forest Watcher and teacher of Natural History, their frustration over red tape has led them to constantly getting knuckle-rapped for not following Akademiya structure. This eventually found them in the office of the Scribe, Alhaitham.  Unbeknownst to them, he was amused and intrigued by their ideas and devised a tangle of red tape denser than the jungle itself in order to keep them coming back to his office. Eventually he let them off the hook and asked them on a proper date.

I've been meaning to get this done way way sooner.... but of course after Arroux and Kaveri I wanted to draw Atoyac as well!! I wanted to do a more heartfelt pic with them and Ororon together but freeform doodled them a bit at first and I think that overshadowed that initial idea a bit haha. But I had fun!! their design is so neat omg. I do also love Arroux's design but I honestly think Atoyac has to be my fave out of your Genshin SI designs.... (but I love all of them (platonic), bc they're all you!! :) )

anyway.... standalone version of the drawing with Ororon!! didn't do much in the way of colors or backgrounds this time, but I chose a cool blue shade this time bc I imagine them sitting somewhere outside at night, enjoying some time alone together 💜

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ;A;

THEY LOOK SO GOOD IN YOUR STYLE!! i LOVE the color palette ngl i kinda wanna try that myself... i love the cuddles with Ororon they both look so content and comfortable ;w; and the one with Caucucu made me smile so much as well askdlfjasdf their hair DOES lowkey look like a nest, I can't blame him! XD i love the one of them offering Kelesio crackers ;w; i can just picture him trying to "help" while they bake the crackers to share with him omg ;w;

i keep forgetting to post this but this is my first pass at my Natlan OC, Atoyac! i'm pretty happy with their design overall, but i might eventually change their hair and maybe some minor details.

I'm also kinda curious how you'd handle it! Atoyac for example would definitely have some unique abilities just because they're a Natlan character for example, but since you gave all genshin SIs different names and settings (rather than just repurposing the same for each nation), would you also give them each different kits too?

YES omg tysm for asking!! i've been trying to figure out different kits for all four of them, and they're not very polished yet but i'm happy to share what i have so far!

Rhein: Hydro Catalyst in the classic sense - they're a witch and they use a spellbook. i really like the idea of them playing sort of like an Artificer, where they can throw different potions that they've made to cause different elemental splash effects over a small AOE, but i haven't figured out how that would look in Genshin.

Kaveri: Dendro, weapon undecided but probably a bow asldkjf they're a Forest Ranger after all! i want them to have the passive talent that lets them get close to animals. ideally, their kit would be designed to make hunting easier rather than combat XD so maybe a scattershot that can hit several smaller targets at a time? or something that stuns a small group so Kaveri has time to pick off a few before the targets flee, and then a targeted AOE for their Ult. this is just my Ideal farming character asldkfj
