Jon Is The Only Real Cryptid By Cami | Morchlav

Genshin yaoi has driven me places I'd previously never consider entering with a gun. I'm enjoying myself. Thus, take my Kaveh and Alhaitham HC designs… brownification city! As always!

Design reasoning under the cut.

Starting with Kaveh! My whole thing with him was keeping him feeling sharper compared to Alhaitham, with softer shapes coming to defined points. I think most of it is pretty self-explanatory from the picture, but y'know. Direction was also fun to consider with Kaveh, with the repetitive use of shapes going upwards and downwards in his face. :3 An angular guy! He's someone who cares about keeping up appearances a lot, so he's designed as someone who takes care to maintain clear skin and nice makeup. His eyes are also very deep set, especially compared to Alhaitham. Contrast between the two of them with mirrored elements was the main goal. I really couldn't think of much aside from that, especially since going for the outfits was an entirely different beast.

Next is Alhaitham! Alhaitham's meant to feel blunt, but less cutting compared to Kaveh, like the difference between a claymore and sword, I guess. I didn't think of this comparison at the time, but it's funny. Especially as the weapon comparisons are inverted from what they use. (PROBABLY! I HAVEN'T MET EITHER IN GAME YET!) His shapes are stronger and more square-ish compared to the Kaveh's triangular shit. Most of his features aren't nearly as upturned, and he's softer overall. Y'know when BL characters have absurd lips? Yeah, that was the justification there. He's kissable, and his tits are fat. What more could you want from a man? /j The moles and hyperpigmentation were just choices I thought were cute. I never see hyperpigmentation depicted in art! While it's minor here, it's the thought that counts.

Other notes are skin tone, of course. They're both brown. As a desi guy, I couldn't leave the [all that] of Sumeru alone. <3 Kaveh is darker than Alhaitham, and I thought a cooler skin tone contrasted with his hair and outfit nicely. (Same with warm-toned Alhaitham, it goes so nicely with the jewel blues and greens.) There's this weird dichotomy with Alhaitham as the burly brown guy top and. Kaveh white twink which I'm NOT subscribing to, thank you very much. Also why Kaveh got a larger nose! I think it suits him, and I'm also not a fan of the way I see artists draw exclusively hooked noses as the definitive nose that all brown people have. Honestly, I should have considered body hair for them as well, but I didn't want to think about the natural colours lol… Face HCs are my favourite thing to draw, and if you've gotten to reading this far, I thank you.

it's their anniversary! happy 10 years of yuukei yesterday!!!!
