#and thank you Hoyo for not having a design that takes 20 hours to draw for once

Are there any details Jiaoqius design you find intresting? (Aside from the fact that he's beautiful)

Honestly Jiaoqiu’s outfit feels somewhat boring compared to the other Xianzhou characters, but there are some details I do love!!

I like the yin yang symbol on his back and how it references his burst animation. The symbol as a whole fits his character so well with the themes of opposing yet inseparable forces and contradictions. (In particular his use of medicines and poisons to both help and hurt)

Also it’s just reminding me of some really good fondue I’ve had that was white and dark chocolate in the yin yang symbol. This man makes me hungry

Also! I love how so much detail is put in his fan. I don’t know what I like about it. I just find it so nice to look at and I love how he has it in all his animations. (Also haha he literally fans the flames to attack I love this game)

And finally I love love love his earrings. At least I think they’re earrings? The cord at the end kind of suggests otherwise but I don’t know what else they would be. I just think they’re so pretty and I love the tiny blue details breaking up the mostly warm colors of his upper half. There’s just something so aesthetically pleasing about inhuman piercings. You can get so creative with different ear shapes and things like Sunday’s wing piercings too.

All in all I love Jiaoqiu’s accessories more than his proper outfit. His clothes look good on him they just seem simple (:
