Artist & Illustrator
Introduction
くろがわシオン
黒河始恩・ Kurogawa Shion
Hi, I'm Shion!
I'm a cat-like person with a straight face and many surnames, but you can call me Nashi ( or Geo-kun for Genshin ).I used to be a mangaka assistant, but I've since levelled up to become a freelance artist and an official content creator for Genshin Impact since the end of 2021.
⊷ About me
When not creating art, I enjoy writing stories or RPGs, while drinking boba milk or coffee.
If you're interested in my work, please feel free to browse my portfolio! I'm always open to collaborations or commissions from those who appreciate a good sense of humour and a touch of elegance in their art.
⊷ Overview of my work
As an artist specializing in comics and illustrations, I bring a diverse range of original characters, but also fan art focused on the world of Genshin Impact.Drawing inspiration from mythology, languages and other subjects, I infuse my art with rich references, aiming to create stories that transcend the pages.
Deep meanings and a range of emotions are at the core of my work, resonating with those who appreciate thought-provoking storytelling.Additionally, I have a profound fascination with the inner child in all of us, reflected in characters who embody both seriousness and a playful, youthful spirit. This unique blend of maturity and innocence creates compelling and relatable stories that leave a lasting impact on those who experience them.
Fandoms
Genshin Impact
Honkai Star Rail
Touken Ranbu
Fire Emblem
Regarding Genshin Impact content, I mainly draw Aether because of my personal experience with the character. However, I don't limit myself and enjoy trying different things. So, as long as I love something, I will draw it.
For more information, read the Stories and be aware of it before browsing my content on social media.
Thank you for taking the time to visit.
We hope to see you again soon!
Stories
Original story
I have been writing my original story for many years now, and I plan to update and release it soon. I aim to publish it to an official platform. Thank you!
"When the moon plummeted to Earth, the world was thrust into chaos. The celestial balance was shattered, and Pandora, a enigmatic figure with an unknown past, emerged from the aftermath.
Saved by two Titan brothers, Pandora now resides with them, yearning to recover fragments of his forgotten memories. Yet, their peaceful existence is endangered as factions covet Pandora's presence, prompting a hasty escape to protect their fragile sanctuary.
The journey unfolds as Pandora's destiny intertwines with the fate of a fractured world, where battles for power and the pursuit of truth loom on the horizon."
Genshin Impact
I'm sharing with you all our experiences as Genshin players based on our own feelings and impressions of the game. Since this content comes from our co-op plays and the stories we created by interacting with each other as players, you will see all sorts of relationships in my creations.We all have our preferences concerning characters, so I hope you'll find something you like in this family. It's possible that you may not be able to relate to my stories, but please be tolerant and respectful of others.
"Our journey on that day was stopped, when from this unknown goddess both were separated.
From a sudden tear, thus suffering, we both had to get up and progress near new people and from disparate backgrounds. Rich in new sharing… still inhabited by an inner emptiness that would follow us from then on for eternity.
Our steps pursued two dissimilar paths. One thrives under the glare of Liyue's sun and the protective wings of Archon Geo; the other flourishing in the twists and turns of Inazuma's darkness and instances of Archon Cryo.
Can we, my dear sister, meet again?
Do we both have, for Teyvat, the same purpose ?
Bruised, we will be.
Unscathed, never.
But brother and sister, we will be everlastingly."

Characters
Pandora
race : unknown
"Pandora is a captivating enigma, brimming with childlike wonder and an insatiable curiosity. With a warm and kind-hearted nature, he draws others towards him effortlessly. Accompanied by his spirited chicken companion, Lulu, Pandora's journey is a testament to resilience and the joy of embracing the unknown."
Kemuros
race : Titan
"Kemuros is a stoic and introspective individual, with a mysterious aura that surrounds him. Despite his reserved nature, he possesses a deep sense of loyalty and unwavering dedication to those he holds dear. Through his gruff exterior, there lies a compassionate soul who offers guidance and protection to those in need."

Genshin Impact context
Main story
Aether
Geo-kun
Surname: Nashi in this world ( 梨 - pear ).
He is calm and approachable, and his benevolence and outward warmth attract others. Although he is generous in this sense, he is relatively difficult to understand, and he remains cold and distant when people try to learn more about his true thoughts.
Lumine
Electro-chan
Surname: Ringo in this world. ( 林檎 - apple ) -
At first sight, the latter may seem more difficult to approach due to a more distant attitude, but this is misleading. In reality, she is actually quite close to others, shows more warmth, and develops deeper bonds with the people around her than her brother.
Character's used by each sibling ( update 2023 ):⊷ Aether :
Main ship: Zhongli, Alhaitham, Dainsleif
Alongside comrades: Zhongli, Kaeya, Arataki Itto, Chongyun, Mona, Ningguang, Lisa, Gorou, Yun Jin, Xinyan, Alhaitham, Cyno, Wanderer (Genji), Kirara, Faruzan, Dehya, Kuki Shinobu.⊷ Lumine:

Short comics
Sora
Surname: Ritsu in this world ( 律 - semitone ).
Playful and spontaneous, he is the one who expresses his joy more explicitly. He also exposes himself more easily to danger by following the example of Nashi, without really measuring the consequences. He evolved most of the time alongside this one.
Sora
Surname: Setsu in this world ( 節 - melody or verse ).
Playful and spontaneous, he is the one who expresses his joy more explicitly. He also exposes himself more easily to danger by following the example of Nashi, without really measuring the consequences. He evolved most of the time alongside this one.
These two are our friends, and we're playing co-op with them. So when they appear in the story, it feels like I'm mixing the co-op experience with the game's storyline.Character's used by each sibling ( update 2023 ):⊷ Ritsu :
