Keqing
Added 2020-11-26 18:19:44 +0000 UTCI had originally planned on drawing Jean first, but I was struggling with getting it to look the way I wanted to and not knowing what to do in general for background and such, so what I did instead was to work on a bunch of chars at once and Id go with whichever went the smoothest, which turned out to be Keqing.
I was a bit undecided on what I wanted her to look like since characters always tend to look very young when done in pure anime style (like they do in game), so I definitely wanted her to look a bit older, but still young because thats the vibe I get from the character, like 20 years old or so.
Overall Im not as happy with this one as with the previous one of my character, but Im not sure how much of it as due to personal bias. I like Keqing of course but she isnt among my top 3 since I prefer the "older" ladies (read: Ningguang, Beidou and Jean). But I think overall the composition just doesnt click in the way I wanted it to.
Anyway, as I said before Im probably gonna be dressing most characters in alternate outfits, and something I really like seeing is fantasy characters in "real life" clothing, so thats what I did here. I tried thinking of what she would wear as casual everyday stuff and I thought this was a good fit since I feel like she isnt the type to show a lot.
And as for the pose and such Ive just been really feeling like drawing things with focus on legs, and you can probably expect more of that with upcoming drawings too. One thing I wasnt sure about was how transparent I wanted the thigh highs to look... I usually like them to be pretty sheer so you can see more of the skin color underneath, but again I felt like thats not what Keqing would wear so I went with these instead.
I was also undecided on her expression, if I wanted to give her more of a smile or something but after trying both, I liked this one more because the serious vibe fits her since thats how she behaves in game.
Anyway, Ill probably end up doing more than one pic of certain characters since its impossible to capture everything with only one pic, so different angles or focus on different body parts and such. Also not sure who will be next but you can probably expect one of the ones listed above.

2020-11-26 21:27:58 +0000 UTCI used to pretty much hate feet until I saw some good artists draw them really well and then started to get decent at it myself and now really appreciate them as any other part of the female body (although boobs will always be top, lol)

2020-11-26 20:51:26 +0000 UTCStunning! Love the lavender color theme here. And, I definitely can't argue against a focus on legs!

2020-11-26 20:21:50 +0000 UTCOh my God she's adorable! I'm in love with her face and her expression, I love how you did her eyes. I'm also not a feet guy but I really like how you did her stockings. Also you're reminding me that I really need to play more Genshin.

2020-11-26 20:06:17 +0000 UTCThe colors! I got lured here like moth to a flame! Keqing, the holy grail for many players. Was on my radar as well, but never got her in the end. Maybe one day... Tigh highs are here, along with bare shoulders, both things I like myself. Really like the fact that you made her somewhat older. For me "mid aged" (between lolis and more womanly characters like Beidou, Ning and so on) characters appear too young, so this is perfect for me for characters like Keqing, Mona, Fischl etc. The eyes do stand out as a nice compromise between your style and full anime style that is present in game. In overall I like how it is rather conventional yet beautiful. Like a cover for a magazine that is presenting the character, gently teasing with the things to come on the next pages. Really, can't wait to see your interpretation of the other upcoming characters. It's great to see your art back again. Keep them coming, keep them beautiful and keep them legal ;]
