Click the backdrop (black parts!) to change the slide. You can click on the art to zoom in! Order: 1. Concept sketch :) 2. Added my main design details (still a concept!) 3. Lineart (added clothing details and all that good stuff) 4. Starting flats! 5. Finished flats 6. added shading and made the crystals glow hehe 7. Completely rendered (I rushed this bit so it’s not the best. You can’t really see the details on scratch in the sky but it’s fine)
I made this for the HoYoLAB “Kreideprinz” albedo fan art contest for Genshin impact. Honestly, not the best work I could’ve done but I stepped out of my comfort zone to make it so at least there’s that. Not too disappointed in this style tbh. Also (kinda spoilers?) the skull above albedo’s head is his brother Durin. I made them shiny and gold bc they were Rhinedottir’s “golden” creations ykyk The tree was originally supposed to be an ancient tree like the ones albedo talks about in his voice lines but I kinda gave up on that concept bc it was so close to throwing me into art block. I made albedo’s case the shape of the mark on his neck because it’s supposed to be the mark left behind from the impurities while he was being created (idk I made this before I got him so my LoreTM might be a little rusty) Albedo himself I tried to make in the story style in genshin (like the bp cutscene) Tags bc idk: #genshin impact #albedo #fanart #art process
