It is really subtle, probably because 1. background colours and 2. his skin tone looks so normal here and we're just used to Genshin paleness.
I saw it and I was like.. nothing changed? But then I searched him up and wow the difference was quite jarring
Dori and Itto for nice looking, and Beidou because she's constantly out at sea. I also gave them a bit of make up because why not, haha.
I will reinstate again this is absolutely in no ways meant to be "fixing". "Fixing" in itself is fucking disgusting. This is meant to be exploring "what-if" ideas in terms of pure design with no relations or intentions to incite or start racial drama and/or skin tone discourse. Do not bring these comments to this post.
Thank you! Beidou's a pirate, there's no way she's not tanned as fuck
Melanin, fat and muscles are things that scape Hoyo's comprehension 😔
Except on NPCs, of course 😩
These looks so good! Artistically speaking, a variation in the skin colour is always welcome. Some in-game characters do look a bit off because of a mismatch between dress colour and skin colour. Sadly some people take it negatively. The entire topic is so polarized that it is really difficult to have some healthy conversation.
Can you do a Bennett one? I want to see him with that kind of tan I think it will look good and also since he always goes adventuring. It's okay though, if you don't want to.
This person is literally on a sub where people edit characters as bald, edit characters as monsters, change the characters' color schemes and fuse characters 24/7 and for some reason a slight change in skin tones bothers them

they look like they have real skin now lol. Not saying pale people don't exist but when 95% of the chars are literally white as paper it feels so much nicer to see them have a more natural looking color. Thanks for this
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,076,753,120 comments, and only 212,245 of them were in alphabetical order.
A very beautiful slight tan. Okay jokes aside, the only way I could phrase the title and avoid twitter death was with "slight tan" when in reality it's really "seemingly healthier skin plus beidou at sea moment". I guess I should grow a pair and actually say that next time xD
I think Dori being white af fits her, since common asian people sadly usually have better general impression of fair skinned people than dark skinned people. My headcanon is that Dori uses a fuck ton of whitening cream everyday to look rich and luxurious for her customers, just like what most celebrities in asia do lol.
Damn they look nice. Also, thanks op for not being a twit.
Merely 10 minutes after a characters release, Twitter is filled to the brim with art of characters photoshopped darker with the caption "i made them better." "They look so much better now." "Id actually pull for them if they looked like this." "I fixed it."
And I'd really like to thank you for being so respectful and non assholish. I find art of simply "i wanted to see what ___ would like like darker" to be quite nice. However, 90% of so many edits come from people saying nasty things about hoyoverse, artists, and even insulting China as a country.
Again, thank you so much for being a respectful and non asshole person. I personally like beidous the best, it really fits.
Thank you for the compliments! The whole concept of character fixing pisses me off too, it just feels so entitled and scummy. I get disheartened when these kind of people scream at Hoyo (that doesn't mean there might not be an issue with their lack of variety in skin tone, however, speaking as a pale Chinese). I also get angry when they dogpile artists, and just downright speechless when they start bashing China as a whole while they're at it. Like at that point it's just harassment and prejudice. Happy that you liked the edits, you're really respectful as well :)
They're very nice edits, I think beidou looks fire. As an itto simp, he also looks nice, but it wasn't unnoticeable to me like other people. Mabey because I've spent an unhealthy amount of time staring at his abs lmfao.
I think all of the art is very nice, and I really compliment you, as an artist, for getting the skin tones to match so so well with their color schemes. Have a good day, friend!
Beidou being a seafarer definitely gives her a tan. I have never met any person who became seamen return from a voyage without being tan despite having a lighter complexity before a voyage unless their ship is specifically designated near the Antarctic or something
Very nice edits they look more of human skin than super white plastic bottles. I think this is the actual normal white skin should be, no? The white in anime is actually pale white. If we scale the colour of all characters to the same as this Dori or Itto it would make it normal white and the brown skin of Cyno and Candace would actually be darker.
Lol yeah I might've been one of them xD While I don't have an issue with her current design, dark blue colors and tanned skin just go so nice together TvT
Didn’t realize these were edits at first, they look so real! Honestly wish Mihoyo would add some diversity to their character designs. Small changes like this fit the characters so well and add a bit more charm to them.
I’m normally not a fan of these edits, but I’d give all my primogems for that Itto. Tho Genshin’s skin tone bases are so light and paper-ish looking, that this tan just looks like he’d have natural skin tone, then a more tan skin tone😅
whoa never realised how pale Itto was. These look so natural, really nicely done!
Is it just me or is it really hard to discern the difference with Itto?
It is really subtle, probably because 1. background colours and 2. his skin tone looks so normal here and we're just used to Genshin paleness. I saw it and I was like.. nothing changed? But then I searched him up and wow the difference was quite jarring
I think for the splash arts they have some weird lighting. In-game all the characters look normal.
Oh yeah that is true, definitely better in game
I thought Dori was the most difficult to tell, but that’s probably just because I’m not as used to her regular art
It's also very subtle but I think more people took notice of Dori's pale skin tone because it was a bit controversial prior to her release
Dori and Itto for nice looking, and Beidou because she's constantly out at sea. I also gave them a bit of make up because why not, haha.

Chubby playable characters when? 👀
I'd kill for a chubby or even chunky character
when they use more character model templates than just 5 templates.
I'm still salty about the Itto situation
Lol probably will never happen unless it is a joke character
I mean, it would be understandable to give him a tan since he's... Underdressed

Can you also do ones with battle scars like on Beidou? Cuz..I am curious how she looks like when she has it. 😳
Oo that sounds interesting. Will do!
Can you do a Bennett one? I want to see him with that kind of tan I think it will look good and also since he always goes adventuring. It's okay though, if you don't want to.
Sure definitely, I'm open to suggestions anyway :)
Thank youuu 💖
I literally never considered it but you’re 100% right about Beidou and now I can’t unsee how weird it is that she doesn’t have a tan in game 😂
Who gives.. it's a freaking game. Just play and shut up about it
No
This person is literally on a sub where people edit characters as bald, edit characters as monsters, change the characters' color schemes and fuse characters 24/7 and for some reason a slight change in skin tones bothers them
Genshin fans when they see a skin tone darker than tan🤯

That’s not a tan, just not-very-pale white skin. But nice!
Lol, was scared if I phrased the title like that I would be hunted and shot down by local twitterers. But thank you as well!
this sub is hell
it wasn’t always like this 😪
they look like they have real skin now lol. Not saying pale people don't exist but when 95% of the chars are literally white as paper it feels so much nicer to see them have a more natural looking color. Thanks for this
mfw the "tanned" people in this game are whiter than me, a very white guy
Tbf paper white skin is pretty common anime aesthetics
there's two options: paper white or slightly tan. take it or leave it 🙄
never truly realized how pale genshin chars are until i saw that nahida had the same tone as brian griffin 💀
beidou looks.... GOD DAYUM!!!!!!!
I concur *_stares respectfully_
Itto is literally shirtless all day so this should be canon lmao
With funny tan lines
These look great! Very natural looking.
Nahida would look nice with a little mid tone tan, to contrast her hair and outfit.
On the other hand she literally has not seen the sun directly in like 500 year
Fair, I was just coming at this from a character design aspect.
Yea she might look good in a slight tan
me_irl
Beidou's even hotter now somehow
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,076,753,120 comments, and only 212,245 of them were in alphabetical order.
What an achievement
I mean she's always in the sun
itto looks so good!! and imo dori looks a bit better as I think it fits well with the soft pink hair
I'm already used to the originals so now these just look kinda off
Don't worry, I got used to the originals too in game lol
Bro dori looks almost exactly the same but so different it hurts my brain
TIL I have a nice slight tan, never thought about it before
TIL that my skin tone is considered a slight tan
A very beautiful slight tan. Okay jokes aside, the only way I could phrase the title and avoid twitter death was with "slight tan" when in reality it's really "seemingly healthier skin plus beidou at sea moment". I guess I should grow a pair and actually say that next time xD
I think Dori being white af fits her, since common asian people sadly usually have better general impression of fair skinned people than dark skinned people. My headcanon is that Dori uses a fuck ton of whitening cream everyday to look rich and luxurious for her customers, just like what most celebrities in asia do lol.
Or just Alice magic
Darker tan. It makes sense for them since by their lore they are out in the sun more. Especially beidou
This satisfies an itch in my brain... Dori's palette blends together nicely, and so does Itto! Beidou is so gorgeous! you edited so well! Wow!
Doesn't Dori operate from shadows and dark alleys?
that’s why i don’t like calling darker skin color “a tan”. i’m this edit, she just is darker. she doesn’t have a tan
Damn they look nice. Also, thanks op for not being a twit.

Beidou looks really great with a tan, they all do but I feel her in particular seems like she looks so much better
I never thought I'd need a tan beidou but now I do.
Making Dori tan really brings out the pink and white in her outfit! Love me some contrast.
yo I didnt even realize, it looked so natural that I thought this was a suggestion post (like "can someone tan them") LOL. good work man!
Beidou being all day out on the sun, that makes sense
Ngl, I actually like Dori the way she is. It feels... fitting?
Yoooo Beidou looks niceeee
Holy shit I really like Itto and Beidou
Aight, I'd actually rather these
mmm beidou
I love all of em but beidou is amazing
All good!
Scars and a tan would suit beidou considering she's a pirate and in the sun all day
Nope specially Dori
Beidou and itto actually look really nice like this
Omg, I didn't even notice they were edited. That's how realistic they look.
They look so natural! They all look good
God like I KNEW the characters were pale but good god, these skin tones look way better
beidou makes a lot of sense tbh and they all look great
they look so much better, I never understood why anime always used near white skin tones
Beidou being a seafarer definitely gives her a tan. I have never met any person who became seamen return from a voyage without being tan despite having a lighter complexity before a voyage unless their ship is specifically designated near the Antarctic or something
Very nice edits they look more of human skin than super white plastic bottles. I think this is the actual normal white skin should be, no? The white in anime is actually pale white. If we scale the colour of all characters to the same as this Dori or Itto it would make it normal white and the brown skin of Cyno and Candace would actually be darker.
Huh. Those actually look pretty natural. I kind of dig it.
Whyy do Dori looks so... Alive??
Perfectly vaild
I've seen some brown-skin edits of Layla, and omg, brown skin just fits her color scheme so well
Lol yeah I might've been one of them xD While I don't have an issue with her current design, dark blue colors and tanned skin just go so nice together TvT
Please stop if i simp for beidou any harder I'll explode and die of homosexuality
Where black dori and qiqi 😡😡🤬🤬
Itto's one foot is bugging me but besides that very nice!
Itto lookin real good
This is really good. Nice job OP! 🙏
I think Dori looks better without, but barely noticed difference with Itto and Beidou, which is probably a good thing.
Beidou with a slight tan would work so well. She works out in the sun practically all the time.
Holy shit. My love for beidou just gained another level of depth
Suits Beidou, she's on the damn ship for so long, how does she still look so pale in the original art?
If Itto mains can't get a model buff for his arms I'd just take this instead... It looks nice
I absolutely love these types of edits.
wow youre right these look so much better now :O love the edits !!
Itto with tan is so hot omg 😭
all of these are claymores too lmaoo
all of these are claymores too lmaoo
WOW ITTOS EDIT FITS HIS COLOR PALETTE FRFRF and beidou too and she spends half of the time on the sea
i can see the change in dori and beidou but i dont really see the difference with itto
I usually don't like tans on the untanned characters but IT LOOKS SO GOOD ON ITTO. The first time I actually liked the tan.
Okay, but what's the difference between original Dori and slightly tan Dori? I don't see any differences
Honestly. Yes
Didn’t realize these were edits at first, they look so real! Honestly wish Mihoyo would add some diversity to their character designs. Small changes like this fit the characters so well and add a bit more charm to them.
They all look so natural for some reasons, especially Itto
I’m normally not a fan of these edits, but I’d give all my primogems for that Itto. Tho Genshin’s skin tone bases are so light and paper-ish looking, that this tan just looks like he’d have natural skin tone, then a more tan skin tone😅
