Before the banner ends: Nilou from Genshin Impact!
I regret somewhat that I didn't get this done for her launch, but I already had other work underway and the poll art the following week. Sadly, this seems to be kind of the theme for Nilou as she's also currently being overshadowed by upcoming banners within the game itself. :/
Whatever! Nilou is a very cute and very sweet character; I'm not worried about her finding a fan base despite her niche play style.
On the production end: I had originally planned to do dialogue on this but since I have not had time to play her personal story I didn't really feel strongly about a 'scenario' that would justify her girth.
Some ideas I played around with included 'the Dance Troop having been on hiatus because the Akademiya are a bunch'a jerks', 'This is the reason the troop isn't supposed to accept gifts', or just the fact that apparently the merchants in Sumeru always give her extra when she goes grocery shopping.
I feel like all had potential but few of them say anything interesting about her as a character, so I decided to just put that effort into some background flourishes instead. After all, you really shouldn't have to justify fun drawings of big girls. XD
