To the heavens may you fly…” – The Nameless Bard to Barbatos

Cover by Venti’s English VA: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJEBUyPk/

I’ve been playing genshin impact nonstop now and it’s become one of my favourite games :’D I recommend anyone interested to try it out!

This animatic took me 4 days to do, however I wanted to do it since the cover first came out. I wanted to do it as a warm up for the year as well as challenge myself a bit with the time limit + I used zero references while drawing the frames. Usually I rely on references when drawing humans, and this is the first time I actually let myself draw freely out of my comfort zone. Still not sure how to feel about the result, but given the overall circumstances I’m alright with it

Also THANK YOU FOR 11K SUBS!! You all mean the world to me, thank you for supporting me and my work 💕💕💕

✨ STORY – spoilers ahead for “Carmen Dei” – Venti’s story quest (AR 36)

Venti / Lord Barbatos is the anemo archon resided in Mondstadt, the city of freedom he once founded. He takes form of a mortal bard after his late friend, the Nameless Bard, and roams around Teyvat freely. He can be quite the drunkard, and often spends his evenings in local taverns, performing for free drinks. Some love him, some can’t stand him – but the archon’s mischievous nature often leads him into trouble which he faces with a grin.
Tonight he attends “Angel’s Share” – a tavern he frequents the most. After a drink too many, he broke into a sea shanty, trying to lift up the mood of the tired knights of Favonius and the local adventurers, as well as Lumine (MC) and Paimon. He catches a glimpse of Stanley, an adventurer who lost his friend many years ago and took on his name, which reminded Venti of his past…

Around 2,600 years ago, Venti was a single string in the threads of the wind. He befriended a young bard (The Nameless Bard), who soon after started a revolution against the cruel god of storms, Decarabian. As Mondstadt was freed of the tyrannical ruling, the young boy died protecting the people. Venti grieved for him ever since, and in honor of his late friend he took on his current mortal form.
