This whole year I’ve been daydreaming about my OC Faeren as a Genshin Impact character with his own 5-star character Wish art–and finally, I made it happen! :D

Of course he’s a Dendro (nature element) character. Bare feet because he leaves a temporary trail of moss and flowers whenever he walks. His “pet” Snoots would act as a decoy in battle, mesmerizing enemies while Faeren’s burst skill causes a flower field to appear, attacking and rooting enemies with poisonous vines and dealing continuous Dendro damage. He also has a floaty sword that he controls but never actually touches. Passive skills would include an increased healing bonus, bare feet regenerating health while sprinting, and a bonus to all wood gathered with him in the party.

Trying to adapt my style to fit the Genshin Impact character art/world aesthetic was a challenge in every aspect, particularly figuring out his outfit design, but I adored every nature-swirling bit of it! There are repeating heart-shapes throughout, to reflect the Dendro symbol as well as his character attributes.

Someday I’d like to reimagine Luke (and possibly Morgan) in this style also. We’ll see if my hands and free time can ever catch up to my brain. WIPs and linearts for this and more on my Patreon!
