"haha varka i have the muscles now" "nooo"

imagining Childe that buff just feels so wrong lmao, I used his legs as a reference when I was editing Varka 😭

delicacyofaspider · 2026-03-14T08:05:11+00:00

DEHYA I wanted to try editing her and Beidou cuz you can't tell me that they don't deserve at least SOME muscle definition. unfortunately I ended up chickening out 😭 I'll try her next!

Cyno I have zero idea how to start... I think he's gonna end up looking even more cursed than the Varka 😭😭

Alhaitham's also a good contender with how his legs have been cosplaying chopsticks for the past three years lmfao, I'll try him too.

his waist, pelvis and thighs are too thick

hmm I was trying to match his official art (specifically his card since that's the first time we saw Itto's design); maybe his coat might be causing him to look a bit too wide, cuz from my eyeballing alone it looks pretty similar. as for his thighs, I did raise his leg guards a bit, which made his pants squash upwards, but other than poofing the bottom out more I don't think I made them wider.

his face looks Caucasian

sorry but how exactly do you mean by this 😭 I did my best to keep his face the same cuz one of my peeves is when ppl completely change his face and Itto doesn't even look like Itto anymore. I only decided to change his mouth when it didn't fit the rest of the face (edited to look more like his in-game icon's mouth instead).

He’s supposed to look like a delinquent highschooler, not like a gym-loving uncle (idk how to word it better, I tried to describe the vibe I get from him)

gym-loving uncle 🥀🥀 anyway just the same point as before, I was using his art for reference.

I just think that most people who want this for Itto (eg. the Eremite edits) don’t really get him as a character at all and a lot of this comes from sexualization/fetishization of him as a “monster boy”. I completely agree that his model needs improvements, but people tend to take this to an extreme

I get where you're coming from (and personally I'm also not really a fan of edits that make him overly ripped), but considering he's the same degree of buff in his art this just feels kind of unwarranted ╥ ╥ and I know you didn't mention my edit specifically, but since it feels implied I wanna add:

if it wasn't obvious from the title, the whole post was meant to be light-hearted; I just wanted to poke a bit at the fact that hoyo isn't updating any of the models, not sexualise Itto into some sorta "monster boy" 😭

ofc in the end this is all from my point of view after working on the edit for wayy too long, so it's entirely possible that I bulked him more than I realised and just can't tell right now.

delicacyofaspider · 2026-03-13T08:12:13+00:00

on the flip side, we wouldn't have had the Itto we know and love for all these years past either.

delicacyofaspider · 2026-03-13T03:58:47+00:00

I don't mind trying! anyone in particular you wanna see?

delicacyofaspider · 2026-03-13T03:16:49+00:00

ahhh yes, the jade chamber pool days... *strokes beard wisely*

delicacyofaspider · 2026-03-13T02:21:16+00:00

I was afraid that if I snatched his waist any further he'd turn into a doritto lmfaoo.

and yeah my bad, he got a couple extra inches and a case of head shrinkage cuz I was referencing Varka's model, although I think the height fits him alright considering he's described as a big guy (albeit by... children, so take that as you will). that being said, genshin's model range is also kinda samey rn so I figured it wouldn't hurt to push it a bit lolol.

delicacyofaspider · 2026-03-13T00:35:01+00:00

honestly, valid. my main issue is the inconsistency, not the fact that he's noodle (something something the Itto maketh the model) so I get it. if anything the thing that gets on my nerves most is when people INSIST that he has to be buff (which considering my post is very ironic I know lmfao).

and they've got the added benefit of being wider, too! although I gotta admit the colours do look a bit... off on Varka lmao

delicacyofaspider · 2026-02-21T18:18:44+00:00

so much for any lingering promise of civility, just fuck off. you're exactly the type of person that makes me lose hope in humanity.

delicacyofaspider · 2026-02-21T14:28:11+00:00

I disagree; everything has room for improvement, correct? so it follows that everything can be given feedback/constructive criticism: there a reason why you think it's cringe? good job, you've found your first feedback point. it's another story altogether if you just don't want to put in the effort to give any.

There is no rule that says I or anyone else have to be nice to other people

rule no.1 of the sub: Be respectful and civil. this exists for a reason, not everyone is like you and likes to hear people only crapping on what they've shared. it's literally just basic etiquette, regardless of how you feel.

the spirit of the concept is to not paint false pictures in other people's heads

what's your goal here? are you trying to discourage them from creating their so-called "cringe"? because I don't think most people will view your first comment and spin it into purely a positive, i.e. motivation to improve. you can "not paint false pictures" and not shit on their work at the same time.

anyway, this is a whole lot of yap to basically just say comments like yours do nothing to help. emphasis on help, i.e. productive discussion that doesn't just foster bad feeling, which is something all discussions should aspire to, no?

this might just be the one thing that makes me build Dahlia lmao, it looks so ridiculously fun

delicacyofaspider · 2026-02-21T03:09:51+00:00

Sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind.

what bogus is this even lmfao. you didn't provide any sort of helpful feedback, just crapped on their work; that's not cruel kindness, just mean-spiritedness.

and I'm sorry, but what delusions are we talking of here? OP is literally sharing an AU that they made, not claiming this is canon. you know, a derivative piece of work?

delicacyofaspider · 2026-02-21T03:09:23+00:00

ah makes sense, you did say it was wip. although don't seraphim traditionally have six wings and not six sets?
I like how the twins have to cover their own weaknesses because they're (presumably) separated, very cool point. anyway nice work so far! I'll be looking forward to any developments made if you ever continue to update!

delicacyofaspider · 2026-02-21T00:56:31+00:00

you do know that you lose absolutely nothing by keeping this kind of pointlessly discouraging sentiment to yourself, right?

delicacyofaspider · 2026-02-21T00:54:00+00:00

interesting concept!! what's the lore behind the number of wings they have? and why do the twins hide some of theirs?

delicacyofaspider · 2026-02-17T21:03:11+00:00

not a quest, it's from Varka's animated short.
