Look Up to the Sky, and Once You’re Ready,

You Will Die.

OH HEY I RANDOMLY FINISHED THIS. NICE.

I've been meaning to finish this for a hot second, but only recently did I get back around to it. I tried the 1/2/3 shadow method with this piece... can you tell? :'D

I decided to forgo the happier version because I was just in the mood to make angst apparently.

I played around with layer modes and even..... CURVES...... I've never used curves before so that was fun.

I imagine that what killed Evan (my name for Nameless Bard) was that he got distracted by the sky above him right after Decarabian's whirlwind walls were broken, and he looked up instead of in front of him. That gave a loyalist the means to shoot him down.

A brief moment of Freedom, only for it to be snatched away...

me: what if windblume ode was the bard's and venti took up archery because of that

me, now with venti on amos bow: WHAT IF HE TOOK ON HIS APPEARANCE AND OCCUPATION FOR NB BUT TOOK ON ARCHERY FOR AMOS-

It could be for them both too tbh since I firmly believe that "A bow adorned with nameless flowers that bears the earnest hopes of an equally nameless person" in windblume ode's short description refers to nameless bard

Regardless I cry over the Old Mond gang more every day ;v;

Lord of the Tower, God of Storms, King of Ice and Frost--Decarabian, the King of the Moon City.

Hello everyone I made art!

I'm playing around with Decarabian's design again. Namely his hair and swapping some colors around to invoke the feelings of "stormy" and what not.

Again, like last time I drew him, I was basing him heavily off of Norse mythos (specifically Thor) and I thought that a Viking-inspired hair style would look nice on him/make him look fancy and noble. To not cover up the braids I gave him a woven metal crown instead of a solid one.

I like the design for the most part, but... the green in his hair is supposed to imitate the fact that the archons all have their element tinting their hair, so... anemo green plus blond? Just looks weird without the white. I like to imagine when he's not using his anemo magic his hair is just white and only glows anemo green when he's using his powers.

I might tweak the colors more ofc :'D This is more like, a concept/v2 than a final design.

What do you guys think? Does he even look "Genshin" enough? XD Should I drop the blond hair and make him have darker hair? I've been told that it would creep up on Venti's design too much though... hmmmm....

Edit: I changed his hair and cloak up, and I'm liking his silhouette a lot more now!
