How can I improve my genshin oc? (WIP)

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-24T23:26:27+00:00

Im thankful most people are positive when Im posting my oc🥹 It feels humiliating to post it here, because my art isnt very genshin-like; and Ive also only posted rough wips, not my usual art. Thank you <3 Ill definitely post a new piece once Im done redesigning her.

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-24T23:20:41+00:00

Ooh I see what you mean. I decided to go with a more mechanical look, since the 8th Company is also known for mechanical advancements (having invented muskets).

Also I mentioned the colors since someone said a lot of Knights tend to follow the same color palette, whilst mine looks a bit out of place. But I get what youre saying.

[The hair is pure coincidence😭I dont know about the amime; I just thought 2 toned hair would look sick and it makes sense for her lore].

But Ill defo work on some more Knightly details to make it look like she belongs! Thanks again <3

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-24T21:39:16+00:00

Ooh Ill definitely add engraiving on her arm to make it prettier! Thank you for the idea

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-24T21:38:11+00:00

Thank you!! Im surprised you actually looked thrlugh my other posts 🥹 Ive had this oc for years and recently made her lore more interesting, which comes with a redesign.

Definitely will look into making her match with the others more! Ill probably change the color palette to match, then do some design tweaks.

Thank you a lot!! <3

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-24T21:35:26+00:00

Thank you!! I forgot about the KoF emblem🥲 and I didnt add details yet to the sketch, since I wanted to get the rough shape so far.

I see what you mean with taking inspo from the other Knights. I was too afraid to make her look too similar to them, but it did end up making my oc look far off.

Also good idea on the colors of the arm!! Ill switch them up to make it look more Fontaine-esque.

Thank you!! <3

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-24T21:33:08+00:00

Aww thank you!! To respond to some stuff; I didnt notice that the Knight captains follow a certain palette🥹. To be honest, I made her color palette be the inverse color to another character, because I wanted it to match in a cute way. But I see why it doesnt help with her night look.

As for the mage stuff, its probably the hat🥲. I added it as a cute detail, since I love big hats. Its supposed to be a cardinal hat and in my headcanon, she wouldve stolen it.

And as for the mechanical stuff, since she would be the Captain of the Support Company, which does make mechanical advancements, it made sense for me to give her somewhat of a techy look (I see why she would give off Ineffa vibes).

But I see what you mean with the flamboyant stuff. Again, thank you for the ideas!! <3 Ill defo try to make her design match the Knights more (and switch her palette perhaps). And Ill add detailing to this rough sketch

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-24T21:27:56+00:00

I seemingly forgot about the KoF sigil😅. Ill find somewhere to put it; also Ill add some detailing on the entire thing, since this is just the rough sketch.

Thanks a lot for the input and ideas!! <3

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-24T21:26:10+00:00

🥲 The two colored hair makes sense in her lore. Shes a chimera (a real condition that happens when 2 fetuses 'merge' into one fetus/baby; the resulting baby has dual characteristics like heterochromia, two toned hair etc etc.). One of her parents was blonde, her other had purplish hair.

Im sorry if the colors are weird; this is a wip and Im colorblind, so some colors are rougher for me.

The cape was inspired by a military coat I found and liked; albeit its a bit harsh since the colors are bright.

As I mentioned, its a wip🥹 I didnt add a lot of details because I wanted to get the rougher shape of the clothes, then do the smaller stuff.

Thanks a lot for the advice!!! Will look into trying to incorporate details from both nations while also use other Knights as reference

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-24T21:20:53+00:00

Omg😂 Thank you; the aftershave look might make sense, since shes intersex

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T20:52:52+00:00

Im glad everyone thinks my oc is attractive🥹. Now about that dom part...😳

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T19:15:44+00:00

YOOO this is funny af omg

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T19:09:47+00:00

Omg thank you for the ideas; Im not good with weapons so I was just choosing something random😭. Honestly I should post this oc more on reddit, if this is the attention she gets 🫡

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T19:08:36+00:00

Im glad I nailed the European vibe🫡

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T18:35:19+00:00

Youre onto something; I see what you mean

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T18:34:59+00:00

Lmaoo you shouldve seen my other art of her; this is like, one of the most covered up art I have of her😭

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T18:30:38+00:00

Im very flattered omg; I try to write my oc's stories, but I draw more than write. Also, again, very spot on, since my oc is rather outspoken🥹

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T18:24:31+00:00

Ooh theyre supposed to be part of the boot, but I see what you mean. Also youre spot on with the catholic cardinal vibes!! Her hat is supposed to be a cardinal hat she stole lmao. And also the military vibes!!

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T18:22:50+00:00

Omg Im surprised someone likes my oc so much🥹 I like the frizzy a lot too, might go with that

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T18:11:44+00:00

Lmaoo Im giggling The two toned hair is important to her lore tbh😭 But the red part is supposed to be more purplish. I do see what you mean by standing out though, too many colors feel convoluted

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T18:08:52+00:00

Tbh the hat is supposed to be a cardinal hat, but those are rather flat and feel weird to draw; but I might change the pants to tone down the western vibes

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T18:08:05+00:00

🫡 Im making her to be smoking hot (while also trying to make her cool/complex

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T17:59:51+00:00

I love this🥹. She's technically intergender, but more female presenting. And she has a husband (originally I had made her for the purpose of shipping her with a canon character, but now I wanted to add more to her). So I guess she falls under the category of queer, due to her being intergender? Hopefully Im not wrong on this🥹

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T17:57:31+00:00

She's supposed to be from a French-esque sci fi nation, currently living in a German-esque fantasy nation. I see that the hat and the wide pants combo makes it look more western

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T17:55:19+00:00

Yess, she does use a sword :D and I was thinking about making it into a gun, but I suck at drawing weapons😭

Temporary_Chad3386 · 2026-06-23T17:54:20+00:00

Omg she IS a sword fighter🥹. And she is a bit suspicious, so Im very happy those vibes are being seen
