Hi, everyone, this is Jo Rain. Thanks for dropping by !

Originally, this blog is a place for my random sketches and art stuffs. But currently it serves as the main hub for my personal visual story project development.

Project at the moment: Void in Fate

Currently developing “Kaedehara Kazuha × Wanderer” — a Genshin-inspired project that reimagines the bond between these two souls, beyond memory and guilt.

The story explores their connection — deep emotional bond/soulbond, (not traditional romance).

What I will be posting

I will be mainly posting project related pieces including wip, sketches, concept art, character art, story moments, storyboards, animation test etc.

If you find my contents interesting, please follow for more.

Life doesn’t always go as the way one wants…

I was.. and I am still caught in a swirl at this moment.

It’s been a long time since I last posted my development piece for Void in Fate. I had to pause...but not stop creating though! Instead of drawing and designing, I actually switched to writing a long-form fiction(in a different language)---still Genshin fandom but different from V.I.F. Anyway...

This is an environment sketch piece I did last year… I was exploring some mood and shots for my script.

I didn’t like it much back then. And I just didn’t post it. When I looked at it today, surprisingly, I didn't hate it that much anymore. " Well, it's sketchy but whatever!" Haha. I put lots of pressure on myself when I first started this project. I want things to be perfect in the end. I was so caught in the thought that I am not good enough to make this personal project all the way to the end. That has taken away all the happiness the creative process could have produced. I was seeking outside validations... maybe too much? LOL I made this piece my Macbook screen. I feel like crying when I see Scaramouche staring at the city of Sumeru alone from a distance. Because that's how I am feeling in real life right now... But anyway, I hope to get back to V.I.F. soon.

Or maybe I will produce some concept works for the other project I am doing now !

Wanderer and Kazuha character version 2.0.

These are some BG/environment concept explorations I made recently, for my genshin impact fan short. But they are likely to be abandoned due to my script changing. However, I personally like some of the pieces.

A sketch I did during the exploration stage of my fanart project. Not sure if this will be used in the future but I kind of like the vibe.

I am going to reconsider the form of my fan animated project.

Exploring Genshin character Wanderer. Definitely need to do more experiments on design simplification/expressions/poses.

I was doing a film study but ended up making this scene a genshin theme..

Scaramouche and Kazuha are two interesting characters to draw, and hopefully I will make something more complete in the future.

All film studies from March.
