I forget what it's called but there's actually a reference site that breaks down the 3d models layer by layer. Hopefully it's found just in case this happens again

[@CHAOS_CREATORinc.]

I think it would have added interest to the hair if you had added streamers, but I really like the design❤

[@humbug1720]

There's a thing called the Games Fashion Archive which has a bunch of game clothing models which should really help with the weird layers. It also has a thing that allows you to turn on and off certain layers. Hopefully that helps with the reference?

"I went on an introspective journey I wasn't ready for" - June in every new video

[@ActuallyRea]

It’s a turbulent time to be me

[@lettermanjack8291]

"it's kind of fun realizing that my art is a stranger though that means i get to meet her again" i never thought of it that way that's rly sweet actually 😭

[@beterybunny234]

"how does the fabric lay on the body?" Fun fact I learned through observation: Hoyoverse are dirty cheaters in character design. If they don't want it to move, or it would be more of a pain to sculpt the prop separate on the body they 'paint' the model. Kokomi for example: Her choker is painted on, but the teardrop pendant is sculpted. If you look closely they've fused the blue and white together on her torso to simplify the physics but it's supposed to be a coat over a bodysuit! So, you're not wrong in being frustrated. I would trust the model more for reference than any official art they provide.

[@Ucikkkkkkk]

YES FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTAND IT!!

[@YayaFeiLong]

That's less to do with "cheating" character designs and more to do with technical limitations. Genshin Impact is a game intended to run on mobile hardware, and every polygon has a performance cost. A while back Mihoyo released a video of Barbara as a sort of faux-VTuber, and the character mesh used was significantly more detailed than the in-game one

[@faeryhne]

your bell sound made my cats jump up in excitement from their napping LOL

[@AlyKatKitty]

My cat woke up from that too! Lol! 😂

[@writingdork3951]

Oh my god. I thought it would be a fun idea to draw myself and my friends in Genshin character’s costumes. I was wrong. The line art alone took me a month. I have massive respect for the amount of detail you did give them. I’m a writer, so whenever it comes to character design, I’m like “shirt, pants, shoes, out the door. Come on, we don’t have all day. You need to have a fight with your brother, nearly die and then get lost in a cave, you can worry about makeup some other time.”

[@jlovelystory]

I can relate to that my own designs 😂

[@ccherry.berryy]

2:50 Oh I feel you June, not exactly but a similar flavour of frustration. having a series/ story your trying to make characters for then not being able to draw anything but them and not being able to think about anything but them and specifically a whole new species that I’ve made arbitrary rules for even though it would do me so much more good to just experiment way more, but I’m so stuck with everything I’ve been doing that I feel shackled to my own ideas

[@shorter2243]

I feel you so much! Had the same problem, esspecially the species thing. I got so fixated on things having to be "realistic" it made my designs worse. Nowadays I just remember it's a cartoon, and the wings don't have to be proportionally large to the body, because it's a drawing and they can fly if i say so. With drawing your characters all the time and nothing else - maybe try to design stuff FOR your characters. Like their phone or room, or a bag etc. Still doing character design work, but also drawing other things :DD

[@iKaySabrina]

@@shorter2243 Then I have the problem of not being able to draw inanimate objects! I focused so much of my time on character design I neglected the importance of real things. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run out of costume ideas because I can’t draw any kind of accessories

[@shorter2243]

@@iKaySabrina Ah yes, the "slapping a t-shirt and jeans on every character" problem. Well, I'm not any kind of grand master of character design, but I can threw some more tips ig. If you are as obsessed with your OCs as I tend to be, you can go to some clothing web store, scroll, and at some point you will go "OMG, [oc name] WOULD TOTALLY WEAR THAT" then screenshot it and save it for later. The biggest problem I used to have is that I didn't pay attention to what THE CHARACTER would like to wear and what is their style. Basically it's good to look at clothes as a part of character's personality.

[@gh02tdu2t]

or the opposite (kind of) you have this story and all these ideas in your head and you have no idea how to get it out much less draw anything 💀 i would actually kill for tips on how to like...organize(?) a story

[@shorter2243]

@@gh02tdu2t Heree i go... Again. First of all, my biggest tip is kinda basic - write stuff down. Don't keep it in your head, just everything you have - write it down. I use some websites to store the info: For characters I recommend Toyhouse. You need a code, but it's usually pretty easy to get one online from someone. It lets you make characters, give them custom css/html bios, organize all the pictures you have of them etc. Tho it's less story-telling focused and more for visual artists. For worldbuilding info Kanka is pretty good. It's also free for the most part. Actually, kanka could actually be used for litteraly everything. It has a character panel and also a timeline panel, which can be used to make story synopsis. Oh yea, actually, if you have the classic case of "i know where the story starts and where it ends, but the middle is just random bits i daydreamed at 3am." Make a synopsis. Write it all down in points, leaving the empty parts and writing down what you know you want to happen and in what order. Then you will know what do you still need to figure out! That's all, Hope it will help ^^

I’m so with you on the love to detail graph thing. I love detail, but I don’t like doing it out of outfit construction confusion. I also favor simple designs with a splash of detail. Designs like hoyoverse make my wrist hurt. This was a very fun video, and the title is deliciously hilarious.

[@shinyjubilee]

The reboot looks like it's in full effect! Love the new desk set up and the outro bg it's so gorgeous!

[@ghostjet]

Omg yay new video for my favorite art KZbinr!! Thanks June for being here and making KZbin videos, you were the main reason I decided to work towards my dream of being an artist and achieving my artists goals. And you’ve helped me learn so much to help my art skills grow! So thanks for being an amazing person in this world and entertaining all of us! If you haven’t heard it today, we all love you!

[@FairyCards]

i absolutely love your “i don’t want to so i won’t” fucking vibes 😂 cuz like most people especially artist and even you in the past are so just ok with dropping shit bc it’s not necessary for the drawing to look good. It reminds me that every detail issnt required to make the character look recognizable or make the art good and that perfection issnt required for satisfaction with a peice, 10/10 video 10/10 channel and 10/10 person

[@frgal1336]

The best way to unlearn perfectionism in art (at least, for me) is to do a lineless redraw of something. Paint straight on in just colour. No sketching, no lineart, no cleaning up. You come to really appreciate the slight messiness.

[@jordangunnels7590]

2:56 I ADORE how you delivered this bit. Sooooo funny and relatable all in one!!

[@thevoid6596]

Augh I've missed hearing June's expressive and squishy voice and listening to them explain so many things about art that I'm probably stupid to understand but that I find interesting anyways! I love them, so interesting, such fun art, mwa mwa what a cutie

[@leonecore]

i don't know if someone has already commented this BUT something i think might help you with figuring out how the clothes of a certain character works is looking at the 3d models like, outside the game. people always extract the models as soon as they release in the game so you shouldn't have much trouble finding them! genshin characters are all over the place, and as an easy way to visualize the models MMD is good and simple, you can pose the models and hide specific parts so you can see the clothes separately :)) i love your art so much btw it inspires me a ton

[@MomoMMDs]

My biggest per peeve about HYV's character designs is always how OVERLY DETAILED so its always nice to see people simplify or even outright redesign these characters in a way that makes them feel more solid.

[@amberecho6396]

[@justinsmith5870]

Really love the love/anguish scale concept, drawing what you want to and ignoring the tedious bits that would just drain motivation. Doesn't work for every situation but I don't work in those (or as an artist but that's not the point). The face drawing addiction is real and I'll default to it if I don't have any ideas. Idk who they are either.

[@Abi-662]

[@thegamingillustrator]

[@lynx1717]

I LOVE the restrained fox mask... I ADORE it. It is such a cool vibe. If I were to take your design and make a character from it, I would turn her into a sort of were-kitsune vibe. Like, a Kitsune who was tricked into doing good with her mischevious nature through a deal she made, or is doing her time for having done evil things in the past. Something mysterious and asking the philosophical question of "does she deserve the "penance" and will it change her for the better, or is she meerly biding her time?" sort of vibe.

[@ScarabD]

4:40 I think for me the trouble here was the double animals. Or at least it would be for me, to each their own. I feel if you[re GONNA have a character theme based on an animal that's cool in theory, but I also reckon you should pick one animal and stick to it. You don't get much more different than a fox and a goldfish, and I can see how that would be hard to put into one drawing. Yours is still a good design! But not as much as the other two.

Hoyoverse LOVES to avoid overly animating if they can, which means most sleeves are completely stiff, so looking at models isn’t too helpful for seeing how the clothes lay. The only clothing they really animate tend to be the outermost layers/accessories.
