HoYoFair 2024 | Zhongli's Character Demo Behind-the-scenes

[@haamta]

THE WAY HUTAO IS SO DISPLEASED AT THE END AHAHAHA everyone's expressions are gold😭

[@mcshlongli]

our plan failed

[@LeivenFrestea]

"No client...😔😔😔"

[@clam18]

I PHYSICALLY JUMPED WHEN I SAW YOUR ANIMATION DURING THE COUNTDOWN, ALWAYS SO NICE TO SEE YOUR ANIMATIONS !!

[@premiumheadpats4150]

Countdown?

[@clam18]

@@premiumheadpats4150 countdown animation during the livestream!

[@Gaiagate2263]

I did too!!!

[@premiumheadpats4150]

​@@clam18 Like, the most recent version update stream?

[@rhythm0408]

How can you jump without it being a physical jump 😭

[@auralyie]

All the small details are so fun to look at LOL Like Hu Tao’s frown at the end since she couldn’t bury Paimon and Lumine 😭 Or Xiao saving the Traveler (once again) with his Anemo abilities What an absolute delight this animation is 🥰🩵🩵

[@craftyearthythe2nd]

Hu Tao's disappointment to potential clients surviving never gets old.

[@xo_a]

the way xiao just showed up with a hair dryer just put this image of him carefully doing zhongli's hair in my mind (also HOW ARE YOUR ANIMATIONS SO SMOOTH?!)

[@couchywouchy]

SO CUTE I LOVE IT WHEN ZHONGLI GETS EMBARRASSED LOL

[@KMakoENVtuber]

Tbh I love seeing Zhongli not being stoic…it’s just so good when he gets flustered in a comic way

[@Kizakoe]

I love this outfit for Xiao, it mimics his own very well while being way easier to draw and modern

[@foreverfriendsg]

Isn't it pretty much his outfit without the sleeves and accessories 🤣

[@Kizakoe]

@@foreverfriendsg naaah He doesnt have sleeves in his desing and his shirt is white I was more thinking abt the sweater to mimic the purple fabric thingys that hang from his thighs

[@LathaNWorldz]

Happy 2024! You did awesome work for Hoyofair!

[@nomiss9246]

Watching Zhongli fan art is always a strange experience for me because I don't play Genshin BUT my main OC on wich I have been working on for about 5 years now looks exactly like him : Brown hair, brownish coat, stoic stance and golden eyes, practically everything checks out. So I have basically a whole fandom that draws my OC even though I never published anything in my life and don't know how to draw myself. I must say it fairly convinient

[@sukuren]

all fun and games until one day you post your OC then goes viral because "those" people came and accuses you of copying zhongli

[@AlishaH-nv1vd]

@@sukurenyep, can see that happening, I send my future condolences to you, OP💀👍

[@lizziewilson467]

I have a similar issue with kaeya. Blue hair, eyepatch, deeper skin tone, and a natural liar. Except my OC has been around since 2016.

[@Astrophel24]

@@sukuren Not happening, because there's tons of characters like that. If it weren't for Zhongli having a rattail, an earring, and unique suit design; he would be the most generic character to exist. Its a design that's popular both in asia and the west. It really isn't happening.

[@contrarion8330]

This got me bouncing in my seat like I'm made of play-doh

[@roxashunter8879]

I love everything about this, and Qiqi just jumping to give Baizhu the first aid box, ADORABLE !

[@AnEternalEclipse]

You know it's gonna be a good day when Shar posts

[@st1cks_and_crows]

I think your Xiao just stole my heart

[@Tootie906]

I love your animation style so much!!

[@Spyder-Marth]

Imagine trying to film a diety and he throws a meteor in your face.

[@Slaythedayaway456]

THE ANEMO HAIRDRYER💀this had me laughing in TEARS

[@antoniosaesthetic9045]

What a great animation! Despite the mishap, this would win the Furina award for sure. Nice of Zhongli to play the role of Rex Lapis, despite being a humble consultant, his knowledge of Liyue makes him perfect for the part.

[@Sunnkster]

Zhongli expressions are just soo..😭

[@theretrodragonyope]

Xiao's appearance using a hair dryer was the real cure for Lumine.

[@gladions_wife]

AMAZING JOB AS USUAL :D and THANK U SO MUCH FOR INSPIRING ME I FINALLY GOT SMT TO ANIMATE ON AND IVE BEEN PRACTICING ❤️💖

[@dairytn]

This was adorable and I'm sure I would've enjoyed it more if I had played genshin impact, but there's no way I'm giving my soul to mihoyo to understand a 36 second clip

[@skullahoys]

one of his abilities is sending a giant rock crashing to earth which causes anyone to hit by it to turn into stone

[@AstroBiology4x]
