Hey there, welcome to the-astral-express-archive, an unofficial fanblog for official Honkai: Star Rail resources. Everyone can call me Seven or Sev, and I'm also the owner of genshinresource (now a retired blog). This post might be long so I’ll keep the main content under break.
Below are a few things everyone should keep in mind before following/interacting with this blog:
Please avoid bringing up all kinds of real-life related controversies in reblogs. I believe people who come here all want to have an enjoyable time looking at their favorite scenes and characters and maybe, just for a moment, forget about the difficulties they have to go through in life, and this also applies to me as well as a person. While I'm really thankful when someone shares their creations or translations for non-English contents in the reblogs, sometimes the negativity coming from people who hate on some characters for how they look or act, which is seen as "controversial" in real life, affect my mental state a lot. What I wanna say is, If anyone wants to vent their frustration over fictional characters then for God's sake, please do it somewhere else, don't do it here, I really appreciate it.
This blog is NOT spoiler-free but I'll try not to post any directly without prior warnings, especially in-game contents like story CGs and such. If you’re not comfortable seeing any content(s) here, please consider blocking/muting/filtering respective tag(s).
I also don't post leaks or any content related to leaks. All contents you see here were officially released by miHoYo/HoYoverse/COGNOSPHERE and/or their respective owners in-game and/or publicly by the time they are posted.
I usually don't reply to Ask messages aside from questions, feedback and requests to minimize clutters but rest assured, I read and really, really appreciate every single positive and encouraging message everyone sends to me. They're the energy and motivation I need to keep running this blog for as long as I can. Thank you so so much, everyone.

Hey guys, it's Seven. This might sound sudden and I hate to do this again but I won't be able to continue this blog anymore. I was offered a chance to start a new career path last week and it has been my dream job for a very, very long time now so I accepted it and would like to fully commit all my time and energy to pursue it from now on.
Just like genshinresource, this blog will still be open for public view but it won't receive any further updates. Google Drive links will still be accessible and the Google Form will be closed. Should someone want to make another HSR resource blog and is looking for the resource links that I used, please kindly refer to the end of this post under the break line.
I still find it funny to think that the very first gacha game I played was Honkai Gakuen in 2014, a miHoYo game, and the last is Honkai: Star Rail, also a miHoYo and another Honkai game. It's been only four years since I started sharing video game resources with genshinresource being my first blog. At that time I had so much fun playing Genshin and only thought about picking up what genshinmedia put behind when she left, just for fun. But as time goes by, this hobby grew on me and helped me in a way I never expected. I've learned a lot of new stuff while improving what I've already learned in the meantime. It's all thanks to everyone's requests and feedback, especially when I started the-astral-express-archive and I want everyone to know that I'm truly grateful for that. Thank you so so much, everyone, and I'm sorry that I can't continue this journey with you till the end.
Stay healthy, stay strong and please remember to keep moving forward, for your beloved ones and for yourselves.
Wishing all the best in life to you. Goodbye, everyone.

Hey guys, something unexpected happened on my side so I'll be going on a vacation for a week to clear my mind and consider future life choices. I'm really sorry that this blog won't be updated in the meantime and I also won't be able to reply to messages and requests. Until next time, everyone.
hey!! could you possibly get a non upscaled version of the special concert stickers on weibo?
----
Hey there, I've had no luck finding original non-upscaled version of the 2025 concert sticker pack so I decided to try cleaning them myself using this preview image from the notice post on Weibo.
Once again, I have very little knowledge of Photoshop so the result might look a bit jaggy or some purple traces from the original file's bg might still be intact, but that's the best I could do so I hope they're good enough.
Deleted the recent SR concert character sprites reblog due to the original edit maker doesn't allow repost. I sincerely apologize for my carelessness...
hi! the star rail live concert has ended recently and there's been an animated wallpaper of the concert cast for the live screenings during the waiting time, excluding titles and purely the characters, I wonder if you know if it's out there online for the archive yet (and if you know what I mean)?
----
Hello, I think I understand what you mean, sadly I haven't been able to find those artworks anywhere yet, sorry, but I'll be sure to post it if I can find them.
Hello, do you have the transparent sprites of version 3.0 art?
----
Heya, I only have the Trailblazer version of v3.0 KV from the game files. I haven't found The Herta/Aglaea version yet, but I'll be sure to upload them if I come across them somewhere else.
Hi! Thank you for your work on this archive. It’s a really good resource for artists like me!
I’m the person who asked about the full body boss Gepard art png. That’s the one I was asking about!
I just wanted to know if you had a higher res version of that? It’s totally fine if you don’t because I already managed to upscale the art. I’m planning to make a cutout of him (heh) and I wanted to know if you had an alternative high res version available because I’m not a huge fan of the random smudges and blurry artifacts left on my upscaled version
----
Hey there, thank you so much and glad to know my blog could be of some help! Sadly the file I linked to previously was in the highest resolution I could find, sorry! If I come across any higher res of that art somewhere I'll be sure to post it.
