Happy first anniversary Honkai Star Rail!
Version without text, close ups and notes below the cut
Wowie so it’s been a whole year since I first started playing this game, and it went from a side game I play when Genshin had its slow patches, to my main game and now current fixation and main fandom.
Anyway here’s my reasoning for why I chose to draw each character.
Astral Express Crew
They’re the core of the game’s story, of course I had to include them.
Belobog duo - Luka and Seele
I realised far too late I could’ve drawn Bronya and Seele but as they say, hindsight is 20/20. Anyway Seele was the first limited five star in the game, so that was a major factor, but I chose these two specifically because of the English VAs.
Molly Zhang (Seele) and Howard Wang (Luka) do lighthearted bickering during most of the streams they’re on together. Molly is also a very core part of the HSR English VAs in my eyes, as she’s been organising group streams and creating extremely clippable moments this past year.
Herta Space Station/Genius Society Duo - Ruan Mei and Herta
Ruan Mei is a character I had been waiting for since the first time I discovered her simulated universe occurrence. As for Herta, she’s just a bit silly :)
Xianzhou Luofu duo - Luocha and Jingliu
These two were characters I saved for and as of late, got their signature light cones. In other words, I am insane about them. You would not believe how happy I was when it was revealed that they were working together.
Luocha was the original blond man I was unreasonably fixated on, and he’s carried me ever since. As for Jingliu, I was in desperate need of an ice type character and a five star DPS. I saw her in Yanqing’s quest and immediately decided I needed her.
Penacony Duo - Aventurine and Dr. Ratio
Technically they’re only barely related to Penacony but shhhh.
I have been an Aventurine fan since day one, when we heard his voice in 1.4 at the end of Topaz’s quest. As for Dr. Ratio, I initially disliked him but after playing through 1.6, he grew on me. Learning that these two would be ‘working’ together on Penacony was insanely funny and their dynamic is something I desperately hope we see more of.
I may have forgotten about the Stellaron Hunters and other factions (such as the Galaxy Ranger and Knights of Beauty) but drawing this was already painful enough so they’ll have to wait for next anniversary.
