Rendered in cycles using botaniq, megascans, grawsald, sketchfab (LSDWaterPipe (@LsWaterPipe) - Sketchfab), and character models by Hoyoverse (previously MiHoYo). Paint over in Krita. I had a lot of fun doing the paint over on this one, it was actually my first try at one! The process was super meditative, I could have spent hours more on it if I wanted to.
Heres the raw render without the paint over and color grading:
If you don’t play Genshin Impact, here is some backstory: Hu Tao is the young orphan director of the Funeral Parlor in Liye Harbor. Her consultant, mentor/father figure, and best friend is a man named Zhongli. This is a depiction of a kind of alternate timeline where Zhongli dies early, and Hu Tao is left alone. The pose the monument of Zhongli takes is an iconic pose he strikes in one of his moves in-game.
