A famous 2D animator named John Pomeroy has recreated one of Genshin Impact‘s most popular characters, the Hydro Archon Furina. Genshin Impact‘s cel-shaded graphics give the game a very anime-like visual which often inspires fans to recreate their own artwork in different styles.
Lady Furina has been in the main spotlight throughout the Fontaine arc and many consider her story to be the best part of the Hydro nation’s lore. She was added back in Genshin Impact Version 4.2 along with the popular Fontaine journalist, the four-star Cryo catalyst user, Charlotte.

A Genshin Impact leak describes the new outfit for the Hydro user Nilou, which is expected to arrive in the upcoming Version 4.8.
A Reddit user named Rinzel- has shared an interesting video on Genshin Impact‘s main subreddit, featuring the famous 2D artist John Pomeroy recreating Furina in a classic art style. John Foster Pomeroy is an American animator, known for working for many major studios, such as Walt Disney Animation Studios and Sullivan Bluth Studios. His most popular animation films include Atlantis:The Lost Empire, The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, and many others. Currently, he also works as a tutor on Bilibili, where this video footage was taken from. Many fans in the comment section seemed to like the artist’s take on Furina as the post reached over 4.4k upvotes.
Many fans praise the contrast between Furina’s blue and white color palette with the red throne-like chair in the background. Some comments claim they would love to see the game’s most popular female characters redrawn as Disney princesses. According to Genshin Impact‘s recent announcements, Furina could soon make a return to the limited banner.
Genshin Impact Confirms Furina Re-run in 4.7
The recent livestream event for Genshin Impact Version 4.7 confirmed that she will finally get her first re-run. Furina will be placed on the second banner phase alongside another Hydro character, the new five-star bow user Sigewinne. While some fans praise HoYoverse for giving Furina her first re-run, others claim that she should’ve been featured in a different update, considering that 4.7 will feature two new five-star characters and a new four-star unit.
This means that most Travelers, especially free-to-play players, probably won’t be able to acquire all three limited five-star characters in Version 4.7. When it comes to her power on the field, Furina remains one of, if not the most powerful Hydro character in the Genshin Impact, thanks to a complex kit that can fit almost any team composition in the game. Her Pneuma and Ousia forms allow her to constantly swap between offensive and defensive playstyles.
