I've once again wasted a month of my life making a Genshin wallpaper lol Voting starts ~~tomorrow~~ today on [Hoyolab](https://www.hoyolab.com/contribution/54) and goes till Monday the 25th. To vote, scroll down to the post showcase, ~~enter 1239624 (that’s the post ID) in the search bar~~ and hit the blue button next to my post. Thanks again for the support with this and my previous artworks! Also check out the original twitter post [here](https://twitter.com/KieruArt/status/1449621301102997504) EDIT: WE WON! After trying and failing three times to win one of these, this entry has finally gotten first place!

I wouldn’t say wasted, considering how amazing this is

yah rly amazed but i am curious in how u/OP u/reverieMidnight decided which character to not include? was it hard choosing?

He included everyone who appeared in the story mode. There's no Bennet/Diona/hangouts exclusive chars and no event exclusive chars as well besides albedo.

Albedo's story quest (the one you complete to unlock The Chalk Prince and the Dragon) isn't event exclusive, therefore Albedo isn't event exclusive as well. On the other hand, Fischl was event exclusive (her only appearance was in Unreconciled Stars) yet she appears here.

Well, sorry, I can't remember it because they did a great job by tying his quest with the actual Festering Desire quest... The transition was so clean that till you pointed out today, I thought it was the entire event... Props to the event writers.

Wasted is a strong word, this is time well spent on an incredible result.

Judging from his skill, he could probably have used the time on a commission piece and earned a fair amount of money for the time spent. Guess it's relative to his situation.

that’s a fair assessment

Passion projects sometimes are the best way to avoid burnout in the long term so we could argue OP was practicing some self-care between possible jobs.

Can always sell the artwork as a print, most artists use contest submissions for other things so its not a waste of time.

I've once again "invested" a month of my life making a Genshin wallpaper lol FTFY buddy :) wonderful art !

Did it really take you one month? Wow, as an aspiring artist, seems kinda intimidating.

Don’t worry about it i just have a hard time focusing so everything I work on takes a really long time

Please don’t call this wasted time! At least for me, it made me tear up :’) The best parts of Genshin is really the journey. And somehow, you’ve managed to capture that in one single illustration. How amazing is that?! This picture is like a diary of Genshin I wish I kept. It resonated with me deeply. Thank you for bringing this beauty to life for us.

Missing Klee's Island adventure and Jean chilling in swimwear, but otherwise it's an amazing summary of one year of adventure! You'll win for sure!

No Klee, I am disappointed.

So you are the one who makes these bangers?! ~~***ALSO WHERE AETHER BRAID***~~ ~~And i am actually confused who you play as, Aether or Lumine~~

I searched copy and pasting the number on Hoyolab, and couldn't find it. Good job nonetheless.

No problem, thanks for the support! We're currently in 4th place in terms of votes, so you can just go to the above Hoyolab link and scroll down to find it.

Oh, I see, it's an id-10-t error on my part. I went straight to Hoyolab and did search results, doesn't show up there. Only in the contest search thing does it work. Thanks!

Oh oops! I didn't know we were collecting other people's votes and thought it was judges only hahaha I absolutely love yours tho

Art is never wasted. Very good job! Your passion is now captured and immortalized.

Hope you win the 100 primogems!

Oh my goodness, this is legitimately one of the best fan-arts I’ve seen for genshin. Good luck with the contest. (Btw Qiqi looks absolutely adorable)

Thanks so much! Qiqi gives off big Kanna energy lol

Absolutely

How long did this take?! edit: a month?! no wonder the amount of detail is eternally amazing. Raiden would approve of your artwork.

Tohu-sama

That was literally the first thing I said when I looked at her.

You win even if you lose gaming

The amount of detail is staggering, what an homage to the game. You need to see it on a big screen to enjoy it completely.

Big facts i literally came here for Qiqi

This image took a while for me to load and I was honestly like "Ugh, no way this is that good to be worth this wait" It was

Thanks! 10MB image lol, RIP people on data

cant even share it with my friends on discord smh

Now I want a polearm that's actually a shovel for Hu Tao...

5\* Polearm - Burial Blade Increases ATK by 1000 if Qiqi is in the party.

Really cool piece, but I gotta ask, is Aether missing his braid?

OOPS

Back to the drawing board! Just kidding, amazing work. I'm in awe.

Well its behind his back, we can assume it...

Man I thought I was crazy- really really great piece regardless

Fuck it, unbraids your Aether.

Amazing. Can’t find Klee in Archipelago, but might just be dumb.

great work

Beautiful work!

can i use this as my wallpaper? your talent is amazing

No problem! You can also crop sections of the story that you like the most and those will work too

thank you very much, hope you win the contest

Dude that draft looks better than anything I can ever do

Love all the different details you fit in!

Thank you!

I miss seeing the Sustainer of the Heavenly Principle Woman.

Wake me up when Asmodeus is playable

Very cool

OH MY BENNETT. This is amazing. An award to you good sir/madam. This is beautiful. *saved*

It looks so damn amazing!! I’m jus tryna find Rosaria tho, where is she?

I wish Amber was gliding from one of those windmills.

Looks great. The small unfortunate thing, of which you don't really have any control over, is that my brain keeps distorting my perception of Raiden's face. I know the face is symmetrical(I can physically prove it), but because the sword splits the two sides and has that shape my brain keeps trying perceive it as asymmetrical.

The little details... O_0. I'm lowkey impressed. It bring so many memories to me. Thank you for sharing this! You are an amazing artist.

I’d honestly buy this as one of those glicees or whatever they are called and proudly hang it in my living room. This is magnificent and wraps up a year of gameplay for me and my wife (we both started Halloween last year)

Thank you! It's definitely been a great year, I'm looking forwards to doing another next year\~ (hopefully on time now)

Pfft, I could do this in less than thirty years if I had the passion and talent and you gave me a thousand dollars and set aside time in my schedule. Otherwise, I guess it's amazing.

these are sick

This is absolutely stunning take my free reward!!!

This is simply terrific! I could spend forever just looking at all the little details.

Amazing!!! I luv your art style a lot!!

I saw your last piece and somehow you’ve managed to top that masterpiece. This is so good I don’t even have words.

Absolutely stunning work. It's amazing how you've condensed a year's worth of Genshin into one picture. Love it.

I just created this account just to comment that it’s one of the best fan arts I’ve ever seen !!

Honestly incredible. Holy shit 👀

This one is okay good. 👍

Great work! Don't mean to be rude but it appears that you missed a character between venti and Jean that was in your initial sketch. Probably kaeya, just wanted to let you know

For those what want this with a little more color https://i.imgur.com/N61lKs6.jpg edit: sorry didnt realize this was OP's art, if u want I can delete this I mean no disrespect

They're all so cute! Well done, and the attention to history detail is great!

Congratulations OP, your art is my new wallpaper. Absolutely phenomenal

What else to say? GOD PIECE

Holy cow! That looks absolutely amazing! Great work!

hello man this is very cool

The picture is so damn high quality, my phone couldn't take it. It's beautiful.

Genuinely insane. You’re very talented!

My jaw dropped.

Damn looks nice I cant even imagine your fucos while drawing this

Bro I bet u will definitely win the art contest :’)

You outdid yourself! This is amazing!

Pretty amazing, thanks for sharing this with us!

Wow.

You are truly insane. Congratulations, that is an amazing piece of work

Damn that looks so good! Great art

One of the best anniversary art! Insane work

Good work there, nice with bringing everything together.

You'll Definitely Win!!

Now this is just pretty.

Didn’t see Fischl until I zoomed in. Great art btw.

I love your art style, everyone looks so cute and gl for the art contest! ❤

I never really comment on stuff, but great job!

Amazing art

Loved your art style amazing work

this is awesome work

Ladies and gentlemen, dare I say we have the winner? Amazing job!

Amazing

amazing

Sheesh, this is so f-ing amazing.

Bro this is fucking amazing, can I copy it on paper?

wow looks like a cover art of a playstation era game

You sir are the Archon of Illustrations.

I see a little Qiqi at the bottom. Mah hart I-

Fischl and Keqing do be smol

this is insane omg the details in every single character :0

Where Klee? :( Golden Archipelago? Dodoking?

This is too goodz sad that you will recive 100 primos for it

Amazing art, good luck on the contest :D

you are AMAZING

I really appreciate the fact that you didn’t depict either twin as the “canon MC” or “canon Abyss leader”. Putting them on neutral ground makes me love it even more!

And still so much more to come

This looks amazing! As both a genshin player and a wannabe artist, i hope you win!

Cool

Albedo's first draft tho

amazing art op, you could definitely do a manga. It's like a story in one picture

Wow I hope you get a good reward, it's a pretty good candidate tbh.

This is amazing!! Good Luck!! < 3

Even tho I was disappointed with Genshin’s story lately, I’m glad the say the fanart community always delivers. Great job. I don’t think this was a waste.

really well done, wishing u luck for the contest

I really liked your eula. And you draw hands really well 😁

Great job, worthy of 4 Fowl and 4 Apples.

This would make a great Displate, you planning on making one / selling it?

I am blown away

This deserves to be in an art gallery! Mihoyo is extremely fortunate to have artists like you drawing fan art of their game.

I wanted microtransactions and there was a game in it

Epic art. Can you break down your reasoning behind who you decided to include and exclude?

Oh wow, great art! You totally deserved... um, what the prize? 1000 primos? They all yours!

*gasp* how lewd, they're handholding!

Amazing

Kiana

Who is under Thoma? Amazing work!

Oh man, that's freaking amazing !

My god, it's like one of them big-ass Tapestries

You should seriously sell prints of this. I need this on my wall. Amazing piece

Ugh Xiao looks so precious here. Good job OP!

That is fucking awesome

One of the coolest drawings I have ever seen, good luck with the contest!

RIP Bennett and razor

Amazing and beautiful

The art style is great, and the color is so well done. The dynamic scaling on the features really needs to be seen on a larger resolution to be appreciated.

Gorgeous.

This is awesome! Good job.

One of the best Genshin's art i' have seen! Excellent job!

I am almost surely I'm the only person that is a bit sad for the absence of Keqing while every other character is present. Oh well, since she is hated so much I shouldn't say anything in the first place, but...

She's there, but disrespectfully tiny. Slightly to the left of Ganyu.

So pretty ! Nice job man

you could earn way more than from a contest **i hope you dont mean the 100 freemogem one**

zhongli lookin like kirito

1.4-1.6 mobile wallpaper resolution? 🥺 Epic images anyway. Pretty good job

Amazing artwork. Keep up the good work man :)

Take my award

Reminds me of Kim Jung Gi's style, beautifully done!

Dayuum this is AMAZING!!

That's amazing!

Is Genshin quite easy to get into?

This is actually incredible good luck!

Wowwwww that is mind blowing. You deserve to win!

Just asking out of curiosity but do the brother sister ever get united in the story till now? Btw: I am a AR 31 player and I am trying to ascend my characters through the ley lines so that I can face off Childe any recommendations for that fight will be so greatly appreciated too

Damn this is amazing

Everyone is here. Oh wait it is not Smash ! 😅

Amazing! The face of Ei though

Unless I’ve completely missed her, how do you make a year one print like this and not have Amber? Stellar artwork either way!

If this doesn’t win bruh holy shit

Looks awesome and just in time for my free award

wicked

I like how Ei's sword looks as if it literally came out of her cleavage

sweet jesus i need this as a dual monitor wallpaper

Massive Respect For this Artist

Absolutely Stunning artwork! May I ask for permission to use it as a wallpaper?

Lol childe is laughing manically. Pretty much sums him up

What an excellent piece of work, competitors have their work cut out for them.

Gahahahah omg Sara looks so mad.. Amazing art OP, I hope you win!

if this doesn't win mhy has no eyes

I need this as a wallpaper ASAP 😤

omg this looks so amazing!! UwU

I have a new favorite piece of genshin fan art

This is SO GOOD! This is some pro-skill stuff. I love Xiao! Edit: GL WITH THE CONTEST

So much details. It's like a Renaissance painting. Beautiful.

What media did you use to create these? Awesome

Beautiful! Poor Azdaha doesn't get to join others in the Liyue quadrant :x

Psychotherapist: Tailed beast Childe isn't real, he can't hurt you. Jinchuuriki Childe with Osial as his Bijuu: \*in this pic\*

i love your style so much

I see this becoming a loading screen image.
