重绘思路

这张图的 2025 版是当时一系列旧图重绘的一部分。我对以下问题进行了针对性的调整：

• 头部按照我目前对人体结构的理解进行了重构，特别是脸部调整得更为讨喜。
• 重新设计了机械细节，运用厚度和多层嵌套手法，突显白云的机器人特性，并明确运用云纹，影调调整为冷灰。
• 加入双手以丰富表情，让构图变得不那么单调。

但是考虑到白云所处时代的条件，我还是考虑在正式设定中不把浮空式手臂作为常态，而是准备一套折叠在浮空手臂内部的物理上臂，在不需要浮空时连接到躯干，以减少不必要的能耗。

设计展望

新版的表现力和旧版有着天渊之别，但这并非经过深思熟虑的设计，而是为了提升画面效果的临场发挥。具体设计细节可能在日后的正式设计中有所变化。

白云的前臂为浮空式，能在离本体数米内的球状空间中独立飞行，因此我没有设计上臂。但考虑到永夜时代的科技条件限制，我计划在正式设定中不将浮空手臂作为常态，而是在前臂中包含一个可折叠的上臂，在前臂不需浮空时连接躯干，以减少能耗。

Redrawing

The 2025 version was part of a series of re-drawings of old pictures. I made specific adjustments to the following issues:

• The head has been restructured based on my current understanding of anatomy, especially the face has been adjusted to be more appealing.
• Mechanical details were redesigned. I emphasized Cloud’s robotic nature through thickness and multi-layer nesting, incorporating the traditional Chinese “cloud” pattern. The shading was adjusted to a cool grey.
• Adding both hands to enrich expression and make the composition look less monotonous.

Looking forward

The new version is a significant improvement over the old one, but it came from quick improvisation for better visuals rather than thoughtful design. Cloud’s design details may evolve in the future.

Cloud has floating arms that can fly independently within a few meters of his torso, so I didn’t design upper arms. However, due to technological limitations in the Evernight Era, I plan to make floating arms non-standard. Instead, foldable upper arms will be integrated into the large forearms. When not needed for flight, they can connect to the torso to conserve energy.
