a. Visual research.
Chosen Narrative: Genshin Impact (Game)
Figure 1.0: Genshin Impact
Official site: https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/home
I decided to do this project base on this one game that is my current favorite. Genshin Impact is a fantasy-themed open-world action role-playing game developed by mainland Chinese game developer Mihoyo. It adopts a basic free and item-based charging system based on drawing cards. The game will be released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Android and iOS platforms on September 28, 2020, and is scheduled to be released on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.
Figure 1.1: "Childe", Character in game
I chose to do a back story scene from a character in the game called "Childe", also goes by Tartaglia. This was not the main character from the game but I still would like to point out this some of his back story.
Many myths in Snezhnaya (A place in game) say that Tartaglia has been on the battlefield since the age of 14. Strangely, when he was very young, he seemed to be very skilled, proficient in many forms of martial arts. There was on female swordsman that taught Ajax (Real name) how to cross the abyss in the past, and more importantly, he cultivated the ability to inspire endless destructive power in the endless combat from those abyss. Thus, he kept training and training and at last decided to become one of the Fatui Harbinger, code name "Childe".
That being said, I would like to work on how Childe fought with the fatuis in the abyss.

This was a simple edit done by me, where I just wanted to show his skills and fighting against the fatuis aka the bad guys. The slow motion part will be a reference scene of my design.

Change of ideation:
I changed up the scene to another main story from Genshin Impact, but still based in the character I have chosen. I chose the scene where he was changing his form to Foul Legacy Form when fighting against the main character (Lumine or Aether). This scene was pretty iconic when it comes to Genshin Impact I suppose.

b. Idea exploration.
Idea 1:
Figure 1.4: Initial sketch, 28 May 2021
This was the other part of his story where he "played" hide and seek with his brother. He was protecting his brother by counting down seconds without being notice. He killed all the enemies the best he could in order to keep his innocent brother away from the bad guys.
Idea 2:
Figure 1.5: Initial sketch, 28 May 2021
This idea was based on the scene where the main character has to fight against Childe. He was actually transforming already but this was just to capture the scene. I liked this idea more because this looked more simple and more of a main story for Genshin Impact. So, I think this may be the one more suitable for the Decisive Moment.
