Genshin Impact Venti: Character Design Detail Appreciation

"If you're going to paint a free wind, what kind of colors should you use?", Today, we're going to talk about one of the "oldest" characters in Genshin Impact, Venti, who is both cheerful and lonely. We'll be interspersing these two aspects with a description of the exterior and the interior.

1. Venti's appearance

Let's start with Venti's look, which is a mixture of green, blue, and white, which is like green grass, blue sky, and white clouds on Venti's body. These highly saturated colors paired with the black and white background of Venti's clothes make him look fresh and clean. It seems that even through the screen you can smell the scent of grass.

How do designers incorporate nature into their clothing designs? Then we'll have to look closely for more clues related to green, blue and white.

Let's talk about the white color first, the white stockings from Venti that everyone cares about the most. These stockings were worn by European aristocrats at a time when stockings were still worn by men. But that's not the root of this stocking culture, so why did the European nobility wear these stockings? Here we have to mention the Germanic peoples, Venti's white stockings can be regarded as the Germanic peoples' cultural prosperity and the figurative characteristics of the Middle Ages. Its origins lie in the pursuit of warmth by the Germanic peoples who migrated south from Northern Europe, similar to today's thermal underwear. In addition, these stockings made life and warfare easier.

Let us take as an example the portrait of Louis XIV.

Was it the "softness" of stockings that he wanted to show as the Sun King, as he has been called by posterity? No, on the contrary, he wanted to show strength and power, as evidenced by the weapons at his waist. At the same time he showed his wealth in the painting. And. The actual role of tight pantyhose in keeping you warm has been greatly diminished, giving way to glamor. The same is true of high heels. At this point we can analyze that Venti's white stockings are supposed to be a symbol of nobility, holiness, and force.

After the white let's talk about the green, mainly cloaks and hats. The image of Venti is closely related to Celtic culture, which emphasizes nature. And Venti's green hat is shaped like a Scottish flat round hat, which is said to be related to Celtic culture. It also suggests that the Scottish flat round hat may be one of the sources of the image of Venti's hat.

Having said that about white in Germanic culture and green in Celtic culture, let's talk about blue. In the episode, the Traveler said that the pupils of Venti's eyes resemble the color of the sky in his homeland, and both dark and light blue are included in the design of Venti's dreadlocks and Dvalin. And this color gives a feeling not only just like the color of the sky, but also the feeling of power. This blue color is like the color of liquid oxygen formed by compression, the gas is colorless but has a color after being condensed.

It is worth mentioning that these color concepts also give more inspiration to the merch designers around Venti. The Venti merchandise are designed in Venti's light and lively style and the clothes are chosen to fit the style. The combination of green, blue and white gives these impressions a more natural look. One of the most distinctive features is the Venti Impression Clothing Hooded Cape Coat, which is not only a good reproduction of Venti's lightheartedness, but also mirrors Venti's in-game clothing.

Venti Impression Apparel

In contrast to the ethereal bard figure, the costume of the archon dressed Barbatos is relatively simple. The most intuitive impression of the costume is that of an angel. So, is there any god in mythology who corresponds to the words "angel", "beautiful boy", "wings", "bow and arrow", "naughty and lively"? "and "naughty and lively character" born in the branches of time? Indeed, there was such a god, Eros, the god of love. At that time, Eros had not yet been born, and was born like a whirlwind. There were other gods in the world at this time, such as Phanes and Chaos, but the story of Eros is extremely complex. However, the story of Eros is extremely complex and controversial, and is only our speculation, we will not do too much quoted. Venti's hat, wings and skills all have clock patterns in them, and people tend to associate time with the gods.

2. Venti's Inner Soul

Upon first meeting Venti, Venti reveals his wealth of emotions. At that time he is sad and full of compassion. As we delve deeper into subsequent episodes, we discover that Venri is wary, powerful and careful. Confirming again that the traveler is not the enemy and are guarding Mondstadt, Venti returns to his free-spirited self.

For Venti's character, he is always alert and judging everything at all times.

But Venti is cautious and at the same time very much inclined to freedom. He travels constantly from continent to continent, he visits other islands and travels with the ships there. On the contrary, Venti also runs his own island, and even though he loves traveling so much, he always wants to go home. Even if it has the qualification of being free. When not traveling, Venti lives on his own island.

Venti is quite successful in both exterior and interior design, highlighting both the element of Venti's counterpart and his vivacious character, as well as his generous but not wary inner character.
