I really enjoyed this post-paralogism kaebedo fic (archiveofourown.org/works/65365675) so I made it into a comic. 4/20

Title: At the end of the day
Fic by nitilia and art by thematchalight.

The Angels' Share tavern is bustling, filled with knights and Mondstadt citizens drinking in good cheer. Diluc is working at the counter tonight.

The door opens, and Albedo walks in, past a table with some of his fellow knights, Venti, and Rosaria, to sit at the bar.

Albedo: Master Diluc.
Diluc: Chief Alchemist.

Diluc sets down Albedo's order in front of him.
Beyond Albedo, a table with Kaeya, Rosaria, and Venti is visible. Albedo takes a sip of his drink.

Diluc: Are you not joining the Knights?
Albedo: I'm fine here.

The bottles and mugs at Kaeya's table multiply as time passes. Albedo is still holding onto the same glass, not yet empty. Diluc approaches him.

Diluc: Is it not to your taste?
Albedo: No, it's good. I'm just not a heavy drinker.
Diluc: Would you prefer something non-alcoholic?
Albedo: This is good.

Add one or two of yours! (or something you like about making digital art)🔥

a comic titled 'things I like about analog art making. the 6 panels say 'a good deckled edge, chopping stuff with a guillotine, a well-behaved brush/pen line, using leftover paint and making something cute with it, getting some new paints or pens in the mail, finishing a painting and actually liking it.'

Luckily my 15+ year old drawing tablet is functional with the new and terrible operating systems they have these days #ocs

My oc Jade holds a bright candle and looks up at dangling starry lights, while my other oc Manda is striking a dramatic pose in the background.

Earth and water, wind and fire, craft for me what I desire. #genshinimpact #Albedo

Albedo stands serenely in Mondstadt, cupping his hands under a brilliantly glowing sleeping Mini Durin. The shadow of the original Durin looms overhead, leaning down towards Mini Durin from the night sky.

Genshin fanart from 2022 February. Has been a reliable phone lock screen or wallpaper for me for many years.

A drawing where shapes have been simplified into blocks of colour. Albedo sits on the cliff outside his lab on Dragonspine. There's a light snowfall, and the scene is bathed in the amber light of dusk.

Comic from 2021 January, set after the Chalk Prince and the Dragon event of Genshin Impact ver. 1.2

Paimon and Lumine are speaking while Albedo stands nearby, holding a piece of Scarlet Quartz. Lumine isbundled up warm for the cold of Dragonspine.
Paimon: That Albedo guy is kinda strange, don't you think? I mean, who offers to summon SIX oceanids?
Paimon gets tired just thinking about one.
Lumine tells paimon she's pretty strange herself, but Paimon wonders what Albedo is up to, even keeping secrets from sweet little sucrose.

Lumine: We've met a lot of strange and interesting individuals so far. Like Fischl the other month, it took a while to get to know her, right? And Childe. He's more than just a Harbinger.
Paimon concedes Lumine's point. The two of them look over to Albedo, still gazing off at the landscape of Dragonspine.

Lumine: Albedo seems like he has things he cares deeply about too. Let's see if we can't help him out and get to know him a bit better.

Paimon tilts her whole self to the side, hand raised to her chin in thought, while albedo mutters to himself about how nice the view is on the mountain.

special thanks to brown pencil crayon at least half my age for being the first one i picked up

A sketch. Tighnari leads Albedo and Kaeya on a path in sumeru. Albedo, centre frame, pauses in the middle of a step to observe the leaves on a branch hanging beside him. Kaeya, following Albedo, has an arm raised over his head as he ducks under a vine. An aranara observes the party from behind a root to the side of the path.

a sketch of Albedo holding a sword at his side, facing away from the viewer. The wind pushes his hair and coat back. I can still draw this much of Albedo Genshin Impact without looking at refs. I'm doomed.
