I’m surprised how much I love his design

u/Junior-Contest-6844 Jul 31 '26
Right ? Found it pretty in trailer but wasn't particularly planning to pull. Now I have doubts with this exceptionally beautiful 3D model
45
u/bellahafra Jul 31 '26
Me too. I was like ‘meh’ when watching the first trailer, now he’s actually one of my faves from the Shneznaya cast. Makes me a bit less mad about the situation with Valeriy.

u/MDBO50 Jul 31 '26
Same case here, now that I saw his 3d model, he looks gorgeous!
Maybe because we only saw a smaller snippets of his design compared to the rest

u/Katicflis1 Jul 31 '26
Guys -- is the face shape different from usual short male model? He looks a bit different from the usual model to me.
181
u/aerawrhero ❌✅ Jul 31 '26
He seems a bit taller, so maybe Skirk situation?

28
u/Ifooboo Jul 31 '26
Or could just be like Odette.
Same height as the others, but no bobble head so they look taller without a reference.

What was up with skirk?

u/GinJoestarR Hydro is the most versatile element Jul 31 '26
Her model (right) when she first appeared in 4.2 was medium female (Lumine, Hu Tao).
But they adjusted it when she became playable in 5.7 (left & center). It's still shorter than tall female model though.

u/Happy-Little-Photons Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26
Oh, I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought this! Something definitely looks different to me. Maybe the chin and jaw a bit more elongated and tapered with slightly more defined cheekbones than the usual short male model?
I still can't tell though maybe it's that his neck is more open than usual so just makes it seem a little different or something though.

u/BillysTown Jul 31 '26
Hopefully we need varying heights of the existing models like ZZZ

u/Main_coorp Jul 31 '26
We already have some with Skirk (between tall and medium) obv Varka, Flins and Itto taller than regular tall (like Zhongli or Ororon)

u/BillysTown Jul 31 '26
Skirk back in Natlan was one but since then its only 2 recents (Flins/Varka) , I was hoping all of them from Natlan which would be cool

u/rantottvizilo Zhongli's pillar (the taller one) Aug 05 '26
I guess because of the new twink model, he and Lohen are taller and have thinner (or smaller?) face

He has [The Hand] motif on his coat, he might like The Herta quite a bit

Fingers crossed, if he gets a skin at some point, they'll give him a higher quality model like that. 🤞 The devs know how to cook good ones, so whenever it'll be his turn, we should be in for a good treat.

u/Toletres Jul 31 '26
I know they'll give Albedo a better model, but only if they decide to give him a skin lmao

There is something about him that makes me think he is gonna be very important in the story.
He has one of my favorite designs along with Odette and Noy.

At least one leaker has said hes a big deal. Also based off a small 7.0 spoiler seems to have a big presence in patch 1 even though he aint roadmapped till later. Hoyo typocally saves the big heavy/early appearence for important characters.

u/Whilyam Jul 31 '26
Isn't he basically wearing the world recalculating formula maguffin Sandrone used? Either that or a constellation of a snake 😂

He actually looks better! And idk why but he doesn't even strike me as short. He looks in between short and tall. O:

u/rotten_riot Pyro Boy = Best Boy Jul 31 '26
I think they didn't make his head so big like normal short models. Odette is the same, compare her head with Nilou's lol

u/Embarrassed-Week-977 Jul 31 '26
He looks tall tbh, notice how the table barely reaches his legs
15
u/Ahuranni Jul 31 '26
Maybe he's got a modified model kinda like Skirk. Skirk is kind of an in-between of medium and tall, even though her model is clearly based on a medium skeleton.

“He has that sadness in his eyes that you only see in eastern european [redacted]”
One of the best designs and i’m really curious about the mark on his hair
He also gives sort of alchemist vibes? And in the livestream they said that now alchemy is banned in Snezhnaya, so definitely could be interesting
73
u/sugarheartrevo Jul 31 '26
His model looks very good honestly, it mogs his 2D art from the PV. His proportions look a lot slimmer than the usual short boy model, so it makes him look taller/older
13
u/KokoTheeFabulous Jul 31 '26
Agree with this fully, I actually thought his 2D art looked really boring and weak, the 3D model is landslides better and more interesting to look at.

Damn, i was really hoping Valeriy would be like a flins for the region (5 star tall main dps). But maybe his kit would be interesting

his face proportion look smaller than other males of the same model. which is perfect bc it always bothered me how they have the baby face with big cheeks especially for serious looking characters. tho it did make his eyes look bigger now but i like it so no problem for me.
