Speedpaint under the cut!
Genshin yaoi has driven me places I'd previously never consider entering with a gun. I'm enjoying myself. Thus, take my Kaveh and Alhaitham HC designs… brownification city! As always!
Design reasoning under the cut.
Starting with Kaveh! My whole thing with him was keeping him feeling sharper compared to Alhaitham, with softer shapes coming to defined points. I think most of it is pretty self-explanatory from the picture, but y'know. Direction was also fun to consider with Kaveh, with the repetitive use of shapes going upwards and downwards in his face. :3 An angular guy! He's someone who cares about keeping up appearances a lot, so he's designed as someone who takes care to maintain clear skin and nice makeup. His eyes are also very deep set, especially compared to Alhaitham. Contrast between the two of them with mirrored elements was the main goal. I really couldn't think of much aside from that, especially since going for the outfits was an entirely different beast.
Next is Alhaitham! Alhaitham's meant to feel blunt, but less cutting compared to Kaveh, like the difference between a claymore and sword, I guess. I didn't think of this comparison at the time, but it's funny. Especially as the weapon comparisons are inverted from what they use. (PROBABLY! I HAVEN'T MET EITHER IN GAME YET!) His shapes are stronger and more square-ish compared to the Kaveh's triangular shit. Most of his features aren't nearly as upturned, and he's softer overall. Y'know when BL characters have absurd lips? Yeah, that was the justification there. He's kissable, and his tits are fat. What more could you want from a man? /j The moles and hyperpigmentation were just choices I thought were cute. I never see hyperpigmentation depicted in art! While it's minor here, it's the thought that counts.
Other notes are skin tone, of course. They're both brown. As a desi guy, I couldn't leave the [all that] of Sumeru alone. <3 Kaveh is darker than Alhaitham, and I thought a cooler skin tone contrasted with his hair and outfit nicely. (Same with warm-toned Alhaitham, it goes so nicely with the jewel blues and greens.) There's this weird dichotomy with Alhaitham as the burly brown guy top and. Kaveh white twink which I'm NOT subscribing to, thank you very much. Also why Kaveh got a larger nose! I think it suits him, and I'm also not a fan of the way I see artists draw exclusively hooked noses as the definitive nose that all brown people have. Honestly, I should have considered body hair for them as well, but I didn't want to think about the natural colours lol… Face HCs are my favourite thing to draw, and if you've gotten to reading this far, I thank you.
Kaveh Instead of paying the rent went to relax at Lambad's Tavern 🍹 ✨ (shh don't tell Alhaitham 🍃)
Commission for his english VA, Ben Balmaceda!! Ty ✨
(yep, I do commissions)
You inspired a fire of devotion (What kind of man loves like this?)
apparently todays fathers day for most of you? is not for me here but anw, happy fathers day to this dad of three lolol 🫶
had the thought how funny it would be if the first dream he had would be about kaveh and he cant stop thinking about it whenever he looks at him or smth, so i doodled it (sorry for mess kajcbjk)
reuploaded my timely kaveh fanart because i wasn’t happy with the quality earlier, though this also needs some work post-processing wise (i will say it looks closer to how it looks like irl). anyway, happy birthday kaveh, the best husband ✨
genshin impact rp are amazing. i honestly can't imagine where else i'd see a romantic trio of kaveh, alhaitham, and lisa
reflections of a feeble scholar
I know everyone sees Itto as Genshin's comedic relief, but I'm telling you all, Alhaitham is actually the funniest character in Genshin Impact.
According to the fandom, he's hot, he's famous, he's the one in charge of the house...
But according to the people of Sumeru? Dude became grand sage and not a single NPC around the city had a thing to say about that. Sachin's son got his ass beat and he didn't even know who Alhaitham was; it was just "some guy in green." People on the streets are said to not even notice Alhaitham, let alone be able to identify him by appearance. The only time we ever hear NPCs directly commenting on Alhaitham, it's Siraj's collective who hate Alhaitham's guts. Dori refuses to work with him. Random Eremites call him a lunatic within two minutes of meeting him.
Alhaitham's reputation in Sumeru is "Who? Ah, that guy? I heard he's weird," and then everyone moves on.
Meanwhile, Kaveh is literally famous enough to have an epithet ("the Light of Kshahrewar"), is the lead architect on entire city redesigns, and was trusted before Alhaitham's take over to do work on the Akademiya itself. He built the most famous landmark in the rainforest outside of the Divine Tree. He's well-known enough that people bank on his reputation to start scams; people send their children to take courses with him in the belief that it will bless them with successful future careers. He's known for philanthropic endeavors to help the poor and disadvantaged. He won the Interdarshan Championship. This is the Sumeru equivalent of winning an Olympic gold medal!!
Kaveh is the Taylor Swift to Alhaitham's Travis Kelce. They might have independent success, but in every measurement of public sentiment, Kaveh vastly outshines Alhaitham, and the fandom should really take a step back and think about how hilarious this makes everything about their situation in canon.
For the few in Sumeru who are actually paying attention, sure, Alhaitham is the (former) acting grand sage who makes a pretty penny and owns the house Kaveh lives in. For the average majority of Sumeru's citizens who are way more likely to know Kaveh? Alhaitham is literally just "that guy who is shacked up with the Light of Kshahrewar."
Kaveh's efforts to keep where he lives a secret just makes him come across like one of those reclusive types of artists who value their privacy. Half the public in Sumeru probably think he just prefers to keep himself and his lover out of the limelight. Kaveh was so busy pretending not to be poor, he forgot that every ounce of pretending he does just helps him keep his own celebrity status. The harder he attempts to act secretive about where he lives and with whom, the more it comes across as "Please respect this famous person's privacy and stop asking about the details of his relationship."
And Alhaitham, for whom being "that guy who is shacked up with the Light of Kshahrewar" is THE life goal? Everything is going according to keikaku. Kaveh has convinced the entirety of Sumeru that he and Alhaitham are in a relationship, all without Alhaitham having to lift a finger. The more determined Alhaitham gets to fly under the radar, the more it looks like he's Kaveh's kept man. If you aren't living with him because you're broke, then why are you living with him, Kaveh? There's simply no way for Alhaitham to lose.
It's just... so funny.
My fav silly boy <3
