Both are great. In Silverta's case, I find it fun but am more into Hertamei. FuQing is a very aesthetically pleasant pair and they're really funny, albeit lately the Qingque Lingsha rarepair has been more appealing to me, but I don't see the latter as a fully romantic ship as I see them more as a quick hookup, so I'd say FuQing is still my favorite for her.

I have not thought much of Natasha as soon as we left belobog, so not much in the way of HCs for her hgdshds Very sorry

I wont go too into details, I'd probably have to scratch my brain to get everything out for a full picture, but the problem stems from everything in genshin feeling like missed potential. This will focus a lot of on negative aspects, but not to detract from the positive aspects the game does have of course. Characters have interesting concepts, bland executions, with some exceptions that stand out and shine among the cast. The moment a character's regional archon quest is dealt with, there's almost 0 hopes for any interesting follow up for their story. The best examples of this off the top of my head being Kaeya with his 5 lines in a very awaited meeting with Dainsleif, and Mona's entire deal. The slowburn aspect of the story is also doing it no favors, it is not an uncommon sentiment to see people lose any interest in the over arching plot and I think for good reason. I loved the slowburn aspect back in mondstadt and liyue, nowadays I find it agonizing. It's hard to care. So many interesting groups and concepts that are in a permanent waiting room. I think it's very bad spacing of content. Honkai star rail paces it's important concepts through out the story much better, might even be an highlight of the game.

The main reason why it took a dive from fontaine towards natlan for me takes from very small factors that all add up. Character design took a dive, sexualization was at a all time low in Fontaine, very concise outfits that both fulfilled the type of genshin design language while still properly communicating their jobs and roles. Natlan honestly lost me on all of this though, with Mavuika and Chasca being especially bad. Natlan is also where we finally start seeing the overarching abyss plot take center stage, and honestly, I found it hard to care after this long. It just came off as underwhelming. Personalities feel a lot weaker. There's some standouts for me like Mualani, but on the other end of the spectrum, this is the first time an archon bores me to death. She's cool in action, but textually she comes off as the stereotypical leader and nothing else past that. Finally, the way characters treat the traveller is just unnatural and offputting. Flirty fanservice is common, I'd be hard pressed to find any single rude line of dialogue directed at them, it makes for very bland interactions. My favorite interactions in the game never include the main character and thats a problem imo. The problems I mentioned are either completely missing or very minimal in hoyo's other games, which only accentuates these issues for me. The reason why I'm so harsh is exactly because I've been playing the game for years AND do enjoy playing it, but it feels like my expectations are rarely met when it comes to characters and story when I'm past the initial hype of a new region dropping, which I don't seem to face in star rail nor ZZZ, making it a frustrating experience when I bounce between the games.

Zhuqing! Their design and vibe contrast has a lot of personality I like Zhuyabi too though

The sketch for the bodysheet is in my WIP folder on patreon. Unless I finish it for public posting, it'll likely stay there

Basically, exactly the same as their quotes. Lingsha teases a lot, doesn't ever give Qingque exactly what she wants, always edges. She bullies the poor thing. But also gives her a little break from the workplace atmosphere.

hmm not many of note for Lisa or Qingque. Qingque is not a big departure from how she looks in game save for the freckles I draw all over her. Noelle hides her muscles well under a maid dress, which catches anyone off guard if they see her changing.

I adore her unsure if I'll ever draw fanart though

I adore how the characters look a lot, the gameplay was not for me though so I never tuned in for very long.

Topaz or Qingque

Well... I myself struggle to do studies I don't find them very fun either, so I'm a bad example for this hgdhds as for drawing process, I have process images for my lingerie Xianyun piece on patreon. However it's not the exact process I use for every drawing, but it should be useful!

I'm very bad at technical advice, I'd say don't get too hung over perfect and social media-tailored results in art. Doing that caused a severe perfectionism issue in me that I haven't fixed

Most recent books I've read are all light novels hsdghds I adore the mimosa confessions, and the bloom into you sayaka spin off. I used to love percy jackson when I was younger too.

I don't think I have good workflow for comms, so I never felt very okay with taking them. As Patreon is going well enough so far, I don't think I'm taking them in the future until an emergency asks for it

Yun Jin and Xilonen, Chiori and Raiden, Xianyun and Citlali, Emilie and Arlecchino

I think Blade would have golden scars similar to the way his sword is mended, Silver Wolf 100% has stretch marks on her back from sitting down in terrible positions for hours on end, however I wouldn't draw them since those are usually too faint to even notice I'm constantly conflicted on how to depict Firefly, so I won't speak on her until I draw her again. Kafka has alluring tattoos on the lower back.

I have never drawn her. I think my HCs of her aren't anything very different from usual depictions of her! So not much to contribute here maybe will mention she has the most expansive collection of expensive lingerie in teyvat

Well you answered this one yourself, my job here is done 🫡

Hello! Thank you so much for the support! I have a ton of artists who inspire me, honestly listing them I'd be here all day. As for specific works or games, usually something that resonates with me on an artistical level that gets me to try and improve. Currently, Reverse:1999 for coloring style, and Akebi's sailor uniform pushing me to practice anatomy and poses more
