HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR LEE SANGHYEOK ! ! ! !MAY UR BIRTHDAY BE BLESSED WITH HAPPY MOMENTS AND SMILES !!!!! ! !!!! THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ALL OF US FANS <33 his birthday is 5/7 btw but seoul time zone stuff means that i have to share this at noon but then thats annoying bc i have lunch so technically his birthday starts on 5/6 for me so like ⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣ ARTT!!! (L and R arrows, lots of yap haha) 1. faker art~ i saw a post of a genshin au faker with an outfit inspired by his hol skin and i just had to draw it (see later slide)!! whats really funny is that i saw some orv x genshin designs sometime ago (it was so epic i also have to draw those someday too..) also dyk that faker said he was yjh's colleage on stream (as a joke yk)?? and i also recently saw some orv x hsr fanart and they all had hsr-style splash art so that was super duper cool! its funny how its all lining up perfectly... hmm 2-3. closeups :3 i think i drew every single detail... drawing hoyo and hoyo-inspired designs accelerate my balding and hair whitening by 4000%. if u find that i forgot to draw a detail (except the pants which are artistically undetailed since i care about my health and sanity), feel free to bully me about it. i doubt that ull find any tho >:D 4. original faker genshin au design by @/cookie_miaoo on twt 5. more lck x genshin designs by @/cookie_miaoo on twt!!! im going to draw all of them someday especially my great kruglord doran !!! i cant wait for his worlds skin splashart hehe... !!! what if i made him into a hilichurl/abyss mage ahhaha 6-10. sanghyeok pics...hehe we love smiley sanghyeok :3 (my captioning abilities are horrible/cringe/uninteresting btw) 10-11. random stuff that happened when i started drawing this hehe 12-17. mini art process stuff :) i think i should also note that my art process changes significantly every single time i draw HAHA: 12. sketch. i made this at 3 am i was genuinely stupid or something because when i slept and woke up, none of it made sense???? (it still doesnt make sense) i ended up changing like almost all of the bg. i originally wanted it to be like idk an explosion with fire and wolves engulfing the landscape or whatever but i like the current one more 13. lineart... i actually hate doing lineart since i dont have pressure sensitivity and i also cant draw natural looking lines due to my trackpad so it always looks super weird and stiff ... usually if i want the lineart to look more natural, i have to go in and manually erase areas to make varying thickneses :( 14. base coloring or whatever 15. i changed the pose. NOW THAT I LOOK AT IT AGAIN, I THINK THE RENDERING MADE IT LOOK 1000% WORSE AUGH 16. idk why this is here. was too lazy to delete it. if ur curious, the quote says "For a long time, I have watched the rise and fall of many teams, but the player who stood at the end was always me." he has sm aura... and it just goes to show how long faker's legacy is... he debuted such a long time ago (2013) holy plastic plants... wow... i admire his passion sm (see more rambles on that below if u want) 17. changed the uh composition and stuff a little. i changed it again tho, yeah my compositional skills require work... sigh 18 (it cycles back to 1). final version !! added overlay, changed composition more, more details, drew his black cat persona (?) !! yipee also is really cool u should check out her art, she got me the happy birthday and quote font since my device couldnt download the font pack!! TT ⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣ ♡₊˚ credits・₊✧ ۶ৎ art by me ۶ৎ code ~ ۶ৎ music ~ faker cheering chant, gods, legends never die ⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣ if u want to read my random thoughts on how cool faker is and how idk how inspiring he is, u can look inside the project (i ran out of space here since i ramble a lot for no reason so its very jumbled and stupid sounding hehe) or u dont have to, its just for me mostly
