A Genshin Impact fan has noticed a very unusual detail related to the recently revealed official art featuring the Pyro user Xiangling. Since they are in the main spotlight of each update, Genshin Impact often releases new promotional art pieces featuring many characters from the playable roster.
Genshin Impact's recent Special Program for Version 5.3 revealed that the second part of the update will be packed with content. It's anticipated to be one of the largest updates yet, featuring both an Archon's release and the return of the beloved Lantern Rite Festival. With all these events going on, it does not come as a big surprise that players have caught an interesting irregularity in one of the official promotional art pieces.
Interesting Genshin Impact Competition Results Reveal Fastest DPS Team Comp
A Genshin Impact fan reveals the results of a recently held DPS competition featuring older characters as the main damage dealers.
A Reddit user named Krimsel has shared an interesting post on the Genshin Impact subreddit, pointing out a detail about the recent Xiangling announcement. The post features official promotional art of Genshin Impact's Xiangling in her new outfit, where she appears to be missing an eyelash on her left eye. The post received a lot of attention in the community, with many fans jokingly criticizing Krimsel, claiming that it's now hard to unsee this detail. Even though there has been some speculation about whether this is an actual error in the whole design or just in the special artwork, many fans have confirmed that Xiangling is not missing any eyelashes in all the other promotional material.
Genshin Impact Fan Notices Unusual Detail About Xiangling's Official Art
A few comments suspect that something probably went wrong in the animation process, likely a layering error, as the artists probably used Xiangling's regular model as a base, which is where the inaccurate eye design comes from. Many fans claim that they don't mind this error and wouldn't mind if Xiangling's skin launched with that detail. Genshin Impact's Special Program event has confirmed that players will be able to get the skin for this four-star character for free in Version 5.3.
In order to get the skin, they will likely have to complete a few limited-time tasks before collecting rewards that will include this outfit. Even though players have been asking for more cosmetics over the years, HoYoverse continues to follow its pattern of releasing skins around the game's two major annual events: the Genshin Impact Summer event and the Lantern Rite.
Xiangling won't be the only character to receive a skin, as HoYoverse confirmed that Genshin Impact Pyro user Hu Tao will also get a new outfit. Unlike the Xiangling skin, Hu Tao's new costume is expected to be available only through the in-game shop. If HoYoverse continues its previous pattern of skin releases, Hu Tao's outfit will be offered at a discounted price for the duration of the update.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
