Genshin Impact – Zhongli: Heart of Bedrock Fan Art Competition and Cosplay

Genshin Impact is one of the most played games in the world. It follows the rules and traditions of anime, in one sense, and at the same time gives a really good gaming experience. This time around Genshin Impact is hosting a competition for fan art and cosplays.

The Fanart of Genshin Impact Characters

What is fanart? For those who might be new to the term, fanart is a portrayal of something or someone that you like or adore. For example, you might like Asuna from SAO, so you might draw your ultimate waifu in supreme design. But, leaving all that aside, for Genshin Impact, the event is called “Zhongli: Heart of Bedrock”.

How Do I Participate In This Genshin Impact Event?

For all those participating, you have until the 19^th of this month, May 2021 to submit your drawings, it can be anything, from almost-like illustrations to chibi art, it’s up to your imagination. The judging process will start on 20^th May 2021, and the result will be announced by the first week of June 2021.

Granted, you will have to have a Twitter account to participate. The process for submission is simple, post your work on Twitter, and along with the post add hashtags – #Zhongli and #HeartofBedrock.

Zhongli, pondering his past.

I was inspired by how diligently Zhongli guarded Liyue for thousands of years, and his tragic past in regards to his fallen comrade, Guizhong.

Criteria for the fan art:

Everyone is eligible for the contest, but for the artwork to also be eligible, you must follow some guidelines. Here are the guidelines:

• As the name of the event might suggest, you will have to draw Zhongli, meaning that Zhongli is the subject of the matter. The artwork can be based on anything, from creative, to the game, or on the Genshin Impact Lore.
• The artwork must be in color.
• Participants must make a record of their drafts and sketches. This measure is to prevent plagiarism.
• The artist must sign at any one of the four corners of the artwork.
• No text other than the signature is to be put on the artwork.
• The artist must mention the inspiration for the artwork, what they meant by the artwork, and how long it took to complete.
