Ohhhh
Hmm
So that means dealing damage with normal attacks or whatever the spirit's main dmg source is will make a shield that can stack?
I currently have it so that the shield is formed at the beginning of the burst but only lasts for 12/20s of the burst. So either you play risky for the last 8s or return early. There is no way to constantly maintain/extend it until her c6 which extends the duration of the shield based on the number of kills she gets in her burst. You don’t have to properly use her burst tho. As I mentioned earlier you can choose to return early (tap skill again) so by activating the burst (and getting the shield at the beginning) and immediately returning you can play her as a shielder for other party members.
Oooooh does she taunt enemies during her immobilized form?
I’m not sure yet, possibly though. I’ve been trying to figure out how targeting would work. I feel like it would be cooler if you fought further from your body and if enemies did attack the spirit form but due to how genshin’s aggro works there would need to be some amount of taunt on your body so enemies attack it at all (if not there is no need for shield and no choice in risk/reward gameplay as there would be no risk of your body getting injured)
If I can’t find a balance though, I think I would rather everything aim for your body and ignore the spirit than the opposite.
If you have any ideas of how to make it work I’m all ears :)
Cause I despise abyss floor 11 and at this rate I might be building it as a character 🥲
Hmm what if
The longer the burst continues
The higher the dmg of the spirit and the vulnerability of the body gets?
The dmg goes higher when the shield is inactive probably to have a higher risk/reward if you would like
i wanted to create an auctioneer oc but also make a new sumeru oc since its getting closer, i decided to mix them both :))
the whole thing is still a concept, im not sure if they even wear monocles back then. i just wanted to give one of my ocs a monocle cuz it looked nice
basically : i just combined the things i want in an oc in one
Do you ( genshin artist) need help drawing actually good Sumeru ocs without being orientalist. I’m here to help you ! Here’s a thread .

these were the outfit inspos
CUTE
TYYY i still wanna research more clothes but i want to have like those "you shouldn't remove this part"/"you can alternate this part of the clothing" notes/
researching clothes is so hard for me
i've been doing research on 1870s clothes n such to get an idea of how the dresses, hats, and jewelry was fashioned and lord
its a mess
YES, researching clothes are so hard but it's lowkey fun
also drop some links/sources 🙏
ngl i lost some of mine because i stopped doing research because my brain was fried and i hit a rough art block due to school leaving me dry in terms of inspiration
so gimme a sec
oh no, im not forcing you. it's nice that you stopped/taking a break though!! 
naw i wanna reopen the sources tbh cus i have a lot of ideas i wanna draw out, so dw 
https://fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu/1870-1879/
for dresses n stuff
https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/Poison-Panic/
this was back when i was doing research on how the victorian era used arsenic in clothing, furniture, etc.
i found it an interesting concept for a char
https://www.historyextra.com/period/victorian/victorian-hats-birds-feathered-hat-fashion/
bird hats 1
i really like the big fancy shmancy and gaudy/extravagant feel it gives
and of course
damn
waw
😭
anyways , thank you for these!
these would be very useful as i have an oc that fits these
it was prob due to the fashion that derives from japan (from what i remember from my research on it, that is) that starts with an L?
i thought i read that word the split second you could read the message
ooh wait it took me a while what took jt down but yeah it was probably that
yea, it's a shame we can't talk about it by name (prob due to the drama surrounding it), but i love that fashion style and i've been meaning to do more research on it
it's kind of funny but also really cool to see because i find outfits like those really pretty
but like that article said it also put a lot f animals in danger because their foliage/fur was so sought after for fashion 
mhm
and this leaves open room for even more ocs
fashion designers who have a popular brand known for their gorgeous clothes
while there's a hunter person who hunts to provide for that fashion designer
cute!!
Aww so cute
rassel ref……
Adohira - Dendro - Catalyst - DPS Self-healer
PRETTY
thank youu! :D
Of course!!
@coarse basin do you legit just remember nothing about the OC
did he just poof out of your memory
Kind of like that yeah
How should I put this
I have
A character profile sheet of sorts
For his high school era
But this is kind of like a whole new character at this point...

He's older now I guess and I just can't bring out the same vibe he had before
did it deviate from the original idea too much?
Perhaps..
I think he did
Since before he was more
Innocent?
I would say he matured more as an adult



if the character himself has a aging arc there's not much of a problem here...
but if you wanted him to stay that way and like what you have with the older version there's nothing wrong with branching that off into a different character
Mm
Hmm
I think the current version does need to be changed
Since I do want him to retain some of that more younger charm he had of innocence
Thank you Orian~
the funny thing with helping make OCs means you gotta know basically everything about them XD
and some people like me make mountains of lore behind characters LOL
GSGISJ don't read it, it's cringy
😂 ok 👍
wip of another oc 😁👍
shes both an exorcist for the narukami shrine and an undercover agent for the tenryou commission. her whole thing is being sent to places where curses have been placed by the shrine that opposing factions (fatui, treasure hoarders) had taken over, exorcising whatevers there, and taking intel while theyre there
I like her
they seem really cool!
i like her hat 
that moment when you have ocs but no art skills
Someone help me ;;
I have a character who was promoted from a branch family of a large clan to a high position in the main clan; he tends to detest family politics and eschews discriminatory hierarchical practices, but he's gregarious and capable enough that he hasn't fallen out of favor with the elders. More than anything, he's efficient and effective with his work.
He also has a soft spot for kids... what else.
Which of the following sounds best as a name for him--
民宇 (Minyu)
民环 (Minhuan)
民浩 (Minhao)
I'm at my wits' end in OC naming hell save me
in general or in a genshin context?
General
I have this oc named xaneth whos a god born in medieval ages (current land is france)
In my OC universe corruption actually has a definite definition, idk if you wanted to hear that interpretation (with attached context duh) or just general opinion?
And i wanna add a point where he gets an unfection of sorts and gets corrupted (magic wise) where his bestie/ex/bf/enemy takes care of him
There's a very wide range of things "corruption" can define in fictional stories
Both works
Like, a parasite of sorts
Magical parasite
Smth that takes over his magic and mind and slowly corrupts him physically
And takes control of him
Because of his godly power, he stopped it from taking over for a bit, but even a god is weak against a parasite
if it's a parasite, calling it "corruption" is a bit much imo, but that's just me
Its both
Its not an actual parasite, like a bug
Its a magical entity that works like a parasite
Slowly takes over and eats your body/magic until its done
mostly, I tend to use "corruption" as referring to a evil (not dark, specifically evil) or unnatural force that takes over something that was originally good/natural
it is quite hard to explain if you try worldbuilding tho
Hmm
it's basically a plot device if not done correctly
Oh, some character got corrupted~
"By what?"
-the audience
By deez nuts-
and that question is sorta hard to explain if you don't want to flat out say "oh, good and evil are things lmao"
Lmao
Okay so the godly society (celestial community if u dare) is a hierachy of gods and goddesses (and any other gender ig)
"godly beings" always works LMAO
Theres whats called the supremes, which is 5 gods/goddesses born from ancient times, who make the huge descisions
They get changed every 100 years
Bc yk, if 1k old gods/goddesses were making descisions, it wouldnt be smart
outdated boomers
Under them, they have the messengers. As the name suggests, theyre gods and goddesses that give messages to the others. They r the second people who have access to the spiritual rooms
Under them r the powerful gods and goddesses, where those who are most powerful end up (including xaneth my oc and dimitrus, his bestie)
Under that are the normal gods and goddesses, usuallt working like guardian angels, soldiers, etc
Under them are trainees and under the trainees r the magical humans
this is starting to sound like High Flora society from MapleStory LMAO
entire set of celestial order
lemme guess, it gets messed up by parasite
All gods and goddesses are born as human with little magic, and slowly learn it as they get older. They get chosen to be gods/goddesses if they reach a certain age or accomplish enough at their age
Not really
The hierachy exists, but all gods dont live together
Some prefer living amongst humans, others prefer travelling and some are just, idk
From a worldbuilding standpoint, where is the line drawn between god and human?
Belief and power, tbh
The idea of gods amongst humans exist, but its not common
Its like, in 10 people 1 is god, yk?
Maybe 2 or 3 if youre lucky
It usually ends up being genetic too
For the godly beings under the messengers, religions exisf
Sometimes
Like xaneth has one, for examlle
like what are things gods can do that humans really cannot (things that are typically seen as celestial like time travel, being in multiple places at once, shape shifting at will/permanently without any drawbacks etc.)
Example*
Hmmm
Im gonna use xaneth as an example
Amongst multiple powers like instant healing, immortality, summoning a special weapon, wings, third eye, etc he has other powers
Apart from op stuff like time travel
Meanwhile humans r just, yk, human
Some gods are born wkth a physical indication theyre gods,like animal parts or marks
ur society sounds really interesting
Xaneth has huge forest green bird wings while dimtrius has a birthmark on his back showing hes a god
there's a lot of potential for a good plot
Thank you! This is my 2nd detailed society
My first is a demon/angel society
Also, once a god becomes a godly being, then theyre immortal
Only a god can kill a god
And its harder to kill a god the lower rank you are
The fine line between gods and magical humans is the fact that theyve been recognised as a god
Xaneth actually had a sister who was magical, but wasnt recognised as a god yet,and got k worded
oh dear
Lmao
Thats not the worst of it
how long have you worked on that?
It really is!
Probably uhhh
Do you want general time or complete time, like complied together
general time, in like years lol
A few weeks then
LMAO that's ridiculously short for said amount of detail
And i have a ridiculously huge creativity and classtime
Last notes i wrote abt it was on the 3rd of june
although, I guess the social hierarchy is a tiny fraction of a actual fully fledged world
So its been 25 days
Maybe yeah
Wanna hear abt xaneth?
Oh ya, also, its nof uncommon for gods to conquer kingdoms/towns
Which is usually when the religion is born
before you spill ur OC's life story, how many characters have you developed for said world? do you have a "plot" or story that happens in it?
or is it still a giant boiling pot of possibilities
And theres quite a few characters
Some r more important than others, like his sister, dimtrius, etc
But otjers r just there,like his mom and dad-uncle
Yeah
Oh god its 2:20am
I should sleep
LMAO
Dw i can stay awake for a bit more
Xaneth's weapon is pretty interesting
Also, xaneth is ftm
I'm guessing you're a student enjoying summer break with no work tomorrow? lol
Yeah, thankfully
No school yet the worry of grades still tjere
Ill find out if i failed or not this friday
yikes
Ya
Im getting my full report card this week too, i'm pretty sure
a weapon with a eye brain goes to Cookie Run Pure Vanilla immediately
I personally dislike using gods in worldbuilding as it's really easy to fall into the "oh no the gods are oppressing humans and now they have to fight against fate itself" sort of thing

aka genshin
Lmaooo
Nah gods arent oppressing humans
Well, some arent
His outfit btw
Sometimes he says fuck it and wears a top with the front slightly opened, pants and boots
Thats the scythe
my guy you need to pop into the art corner more often
if you got someone to really bust out full sh-t on that design it'll look sick
Oooh
Fr?
My dumba$$ still hasnt gotten a design of him, clothless
Ik eye and hair color
technically commission, but some people like me have too much free time
Youre free to draw him if youd like
I love my OCs with wings LOL
He has dark dull blue and black hair
Forest green (or dark green) eyes
And has forest green wings
Bird wings
Part of the reason I learned to draw is so that I can pull off crazy designs for OCs XD
His hair is a casual fluffy type
Ah
Crazy cesigns r so fun tho
Wanna see the design of a new genshin oc?
sure, go for it! I'm working on a design rn actually, lemme clean it up a bit
Sorru for bad quality, its night
Shes called alcrea and shes a professional photographer from fontaine
Shes also aromantic
Shes also part dog, like gorou
u like drawing on graph paper 
Nah
Kinda
Its just that i draw more in calss
Class
Either on paper like that or digitally
Im kinda saving my drawings for thr 9th
My brain rn: "thou shall not be able to draw thou OC"
💀
why did I default to bad Shakespearean English
Bc shakespearen english sounds cool
Alcrea also has a single dad and has done a lot of detective photography
sounds like someone heizou would have a blast with
Has also been to big festivals and adventures
They would
Detective work is a hobby of hers
Plus, she loved partying
And drinking

uncolored sketch of my OC that I have been working on for the last 2 days
I fiddle with his art too much
Ooooh
Orian i have a great idea youll enjoy
Do you have any spare folders and those like, satchets or whatever that r cleat and u put paper in and u can clip into folders
Aure
You could create an oc folder
With papers inside explaining societies/worlds, ocs, etcul
You can divide them too
Ok gn
Yep, gngn
people who can draw this ocs are so powerful 😭
Slight edits to Honoka’s design
OOOH
GORGEOUS
made a character card for anzu :3
AA I love the colours on their design, so gorgeous
I should make one too for my oc
Oooh
I got an idea for a spider themed genshin oc
Should i continue it or should i focus on my pro photographer genshin oc
Hmmm
Maybe ill make pro photographer and spider kid friends
The one time you can actually draw ur OC properly as a doodle but it's so accurate you want to turn it into a entire drawing-

Itd be fun tbh
Yee!
Nvm shes actually friends with diona and klee
Shes half sumeru half mondstadt and her parents r in the knights
And they disappeared on a mission a lomg while ago
So now she has hatred towards the knights
Diluc core
She also wears a black sweater wkth a hoodie
Imma draw her after dinner
my sumeru ocs :D!
dragon girl wip kit
already got many references for her design ready will draw her soon
goodluck!
the thing is that they were created way before sumeru started leaking and they were all like my speculations on what the sumeru characters would look like atleast 😭
Ah
i only need more references for the hair
But i mean, it was obvious they were gonna end up palr
I hope at least they make the npcs dark skinned
whats this hairstyle called
with 2 things flopped over headband
idfk
lmao
or even without headband
these are the only 2 characters i could find with the hairstyle
booru image tags didnt have any hairstyle name
Those are just bangs
It's hard to describe them outside of just being bangs
Lifted bangs maybe?
Edward Elric is another character with bangs like that
Lifted bangs on Google gave me mixed results, separated bangs gave me a few more examples 
oh yeah i forgor ed
been a while since i watched fma
hair is always the hardest part for me to make on ocs
i can never find proper feferences
idk wtf any hairstyles are called
Yeah no worries lol
other than general terms
I guess separated bangs is the best descriptor I can find
Because I'm not getting too much either
ight lmao
I don't think bangs themselves get a name
ed is pretty popular character should be enough pics for reference

sigh this was my mental image of what tighnari would look like...
might make him into an oc
WTF hes so cute!
u did a good job on the colors
it looks so cute though!
i'd keep him as an oc 
are the leaves sticking out of his tail the herbs he uses for things?
like he just turns his tail to the side and picks out whatever plant/herb he needs for any occasion ?
oh i thought that since hes a forest ranger, hed spend a lot of days running through the brush, esp since its a rainforest! so i thought id add some scars and leaves in his fur to show how the terrain has affected his appearance
ill probably keep him as an oc and have him be related to tighnari... maybe be tighnaris apprentice (not by choice) and give him a bennett like attitude? since i heard tighnari is supposed to be mellow like albedo
can someone help me with brainstorming lore for my OC? i need someone to go back and forht with ;0;
I'll help u
I have an oc (spider oc)
And im not sure what weapon type to give her
I was thinking of bow
Spider... it depends
inspired by spider, then
So, bow?
sword if you want to go assasin route like Kuki
Catalyst would be cool if you had her create webs with it
Her charged could make a small circle of sticky webs on the ground
So with her charged you dont hit the enemy, but the ground
I honestly have never made a Genshin OC, so anything about kit sorta goes out the window for me
Ah
Shes cryp
Cryo*
Her parents love her, but she feels unloved sorta since theyre almost always away and doesnt have many friends
Im actually a bit busy rn, working really hard on a OPJ event
you might wanna ask someone else
sorry 😭
I commission this so yeah lol
nice
Oooooh pretty
ok hear me out
fontaine might take inspiration from greece due to the architectural and artistic history behind france and its inspiration from greece
so what if
considering fontaine has to do with law and judgement and all
the death penalty was a thing
and
the people who guide you to the hydro archon for judgement are called the cocythiae
or acheron
or there could be several groups each group representing each river
I think we discussed smth similar to this yesterday in #・lore-basement
weeeee
"omw to guide a serial killer to get their death punishment hehe"
but ye
i wanna see how they handle fontaine considering sumeru isn't doing so hot ba dun tshhhhh
get it
cus sumeru
desert
Is this char design too complicated for art fight??
Also is this char design good?
I like it
I don't think it's too complex considering some of the characters I used to see when I'd join art fight years ago lmao
Ayo, we can share OCs here? 👀
yes indeed
Ok I know this is the most inconsequential part of the design, but where should I put the vision?
Also if any of you guys think I should add things or take things out I’d love to hear
perhaps near the neck? like where you have it connecting n stuff
it could act like a button of sorts?
OK SMART idk why I didn’t think of that lmao. The button idea is cute!
That char design is FIRE tho
Rough drip sketch
Tbh when i was making this i thought of male performer
Like they handle city events and stuff and be a part of the entertainment things
Pretty 
Pretty pretty people make pretty pretty characters
Yes!
Im gonna try to make a sumeru oc based off of these
Probably some influence from Kartikeya too
YES
What if i made my spider rhemed genshin oc have some sort of illness
Do it and make it contagious via bites
Like a real spider
The lineart is finally done
Wait no i forgor the nose and mouth
Maybe
I was thinking more like she wears a mask that filters oxygen
That would be also cool
Yeye
the violent urge to draw my honkai ocs but my drawing tablet isnt hooked up yet
Fingers
ayo? 
Use. Your. Finger. To. Draw.
idon have a drawing program on my phone
and using me fingers is
weird to me
like ive done it before
but it feels odd
and i have long fingers and big hands
so
Mmm not sure what conditions should i put for my oc's passive
He's a burst transformation character like Xiao + Itto btw
And is gud with NA
ah, now the NA CA and Plunge trio is complete :D
Fr
But yeh not sure what would the passive condition be like
And his A1 passive is skill based so the 2nd one im thinking it to be more focused for his burst + autos
My ocs so far
pretty!

have you talked about the sumeru one before
is very pretty
Actually i dont know
You can ask some questions pertaining to her if you want to
usually you give some kind of context like backstory or general details
like what's her name what does she do etc
Ohh
Name: Sepideh
Title: “Alrescha”
Affliation: Sumeru Academia
Constellation: Stella Chrysalis
An expert astronomer from Sumeru academia. Cold and straightforward, her mysterious aura fascinates many. Currently doing research on Constellations and celestias link to visions.
Apparently Parvaneh is an npc name already kek
Holy mother all of them are just awesome but the Sumeru one is just cheff kisses 
alright heres my ocs
if they all had proper character sheets and i drew them
red means theyre in the works/concept
ok. quick design base stuff like silhouette n color
I FORGOT INAZUMA UMMM I GOT TOO EXCITED DRAWING MY SUMERU OCS
I have already mentioned her before in this channel. Well here I come back with more stuff, artwork represents her in the Fatui Funeral (Fatui official trailer).
Her outfit is just some of the ‘formal’ clothes she has for meetings.
Some lore:
Signora and she were pretty close because of past events, and the death of said woman angered her. Revenge? Maybe 
Extra:
“Hehe, Merely half a day…People say the Northern Bank’s true currencies are blood and tears….But Mayor, even speaking as a banker, that sounds a little unconscionable.”
“Rosalyne died in a foreign land…but you heartless businessman and dignitaries always with a convenient excuse to remain in the comfort of your homeland….You couldn’t hope to understand, so why don’t you keep your mouth shut? We don’t want to make the children cry….”
“If you are going to disrespect her again, I suggest you keep quiet before I slice your throat.”
last line is the OC’s Voiceline : )
hellaurr

ITS NOT EWW ITS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL
THIS ONES PRETTY AS HELL TOO WTF ;0;
