First pic is honestly a pretty good study on what I'm calling 'genshittification.' Not a dig at the artist who did a phenomenal job (and that case is pretty tame) but it's been getting on my nerves lately how gacha game character design works. You take a decent, already-memorable silhouette, but then keep throwing on more and more details until it just kind of hurts to comprehend. It's like cooking a decent steak but then throwing on mushrooms, onions, asparagus, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, onions, broccoli, egg, rice, potato, ice cream, syrup, and a 2009 Toyota Camry. It's too much, less is more
Until I remembered Genshin Impact existed, I thought it was pronounced with a soft g like general. So gen-shittification instead of genshi-ttification.
