The Genshin Impact community is very active on social media, where they constantly flood the internet with all kinds of works based on the characters that the game has introduced over the years. But without a doubt, the ones who are most chosen for creating content are the “waifus”, and that’s because Genshin Impact has a lot of them, which we can see recreated in hundreds of cosplays or illustrations that amaze us with their variety and quality.
As a clear example of this last point, we have the work done by a user of the Japanese platform of artists Pixiv, who shows us one of the most popular girls of the Hoyoverse title, the cheerful Nilou, in a work that surprises by selecting the realistic aesthetic to illustrate her and also bring her closer to our reality thanks to the great work done in recreating her.
Nilou falls in love in this new illustration by Genshin Impact
This illustration that recreates one of the most beloved “waifus” of the video game Genshin Impact, Nilou, amazed all the fans by its great quality, but mainly by showing us a new facet of the cheerful girl, by deciding to recreate her realistically, so that her followers can bring her closer to how she would look if she were part of our world, but without losing that beauty that characterizes her.
And those who are familiar with Nilou will notice that this illustration recreated her with an outfit very similar to the one she has in Genshin Impact, being this a blue and white belly dancer costume with gold details that go from the cuffs to the upper part of the arms, at least in what this image that recreates her from a medium shot lets us see. In addition, undoubtedly, one of Nilou’s most iconic accessories is her crown with two horns that she wears on her head, and that are, in this illustration, recreated to perfection2.
But the most striking aspect of this work is the choice of a realistic aesthetic to recreate the Genshin Impact character, as her facial features show this choice, very similar to what can be seen in Asian countries, so the closeness with our real world is more than accurate in this work. To support the creator of this illustration, don’t forget to like his content and share it, so he can bring more of these.
Nilou is a character who arrived as part of the Sumeru region in update 3.1 and who quickly became one of the favorites of the fans, especially for her great design that, being that of a dancer, is full of details that together make Nilou one of the best worked characters in Genshin Impact. In addition, her popularity has placed her as one of the main romantic interests of the main character, or at least that’s what part of the community thinks, who has decided that in each region of the game there is a girl in love with the protagonist, being that in Sumeru that role is fulfilled by Nilou.
Genshin Impact, for those who don’t know it, is a free to play gacha-style video game where the player takes on the role of the “Traveler”, a being who wakes up almost without memories on the continent of Teyvat and who will have as mission to find his lost relative. To do this, accompanied by his new companion Paimon, he will travel through the different regions that this territory has, meeting new friends along his journey, but also many enemies, but he will be able to face them thanks to the use of different elements (Cryo, Electro, Pyro, etc.), in battles full of excitement and action.
