some of my favorite closeups

thank you!! (and yes, bad omens!!!)

Jayce and Viktor in a rock band AU. Jayce is embracing Viktor and lifting him up, Viktor's legs straddling either side of Jayce's hips. They're looking into each other's eyes. Viktor is sporting a wolfcut, excessive silver face jewelry, a leather cropped sleeveless jacket, and leather pants with excessive laces and buckles. Jayce has an overgrown buzzcut with a rat tail, spikey silver ear accessories, a rosary around his neck, and a layered white tanktop with black cargo pants. Jayce is biting the blue pendant hanging from Viktor's neck. Viktor is loosely holding a microphone, its wire wrapping around the two. The background imitates the hexcore patterning.

Way down, would you say I'm worthy?

jayce and caitlyn would gallop together and play horses as kindred horsegirls

LITERALLY the first time he scammed jayce, the second time jayce is divorced and disheveled. jayce never had a chance to look like teacher-material to ekko hahahah

aaa thank you!!! i have so much fun coming up with what different artists/bands each character would listen to :3

Redraw/drawover of Jayce and Ekko from "Arcane" as Peter B. Parker and Miles Morales from "Spiderverse" during the burger scene.

"I think you're gonna be a baad teacher" 🕷️

FINALLY finished all the band member profiles after nearly a year.. it's very satisfying to see them all lined up next to each other though
#arcane

Mel from Arcane with her hair in a high ponytail, gold jewelry all over, a business casual beige/black outfit with the Medarda crest as her belt buckle. Behind her is a music player UI with "Your Best American Girl" by Mitski on screen. Her profile text reads as follows: MEL, Band Manager, Talent Scout. 31 years old, she/her/hers, 5'10", INTJ. Band manager of We Were Mages. Worked as a talent scout at Progress Records, was first to support Jayce's new band. Her mother created VMF Studios, a large music label that often mistreats their talent. Conflicted about poaching talent from Zaun to work for a Piltovian company. Eventually ends the contracts with We Were Mages, as requested by the band, and encourages Sevika to take in the leftover members for her new label. Plans to start her own label some day.

Sevika from Arcane with streaks of neon green in her hair, her hair pulled up into a high, small bun. She's wearing a sheer black cropped tank, and we can see her binding tape beneath. She has a modern prosthetic arm on the left side, and there is scarring across her torso coming from her left shoulder. She has an American traditional tattoo of a dagger on her right shoulder. She wears deep green skinny jeans and spiky black combat boots. Her prosthetic fingers hold her guitar case upright behind her, and the case is covered in patches and drawings. Her bass guitar is left handed and features many characteristics of her season 1 prosthetic arm. Her profile text reads as follows: SEVIKA, Retired Bassist, Manager. 38 years old, she/her, 6'2", ENTJ. Played bass and backing vocal while on The Fissures. Lost her arm by saving Silco from a falling support beam during rehearsal. Rendered unable to perform. Turned to music production and band management. After Vander and Silco lost their business, Sevika started her own small record label. Worked with Mel to start a new Zaunite label with leftover members from We Were Mages.

and last but not least, the managers!

mel was such a nice change of style from the others' profiles, and i had so much fun designing sevika's guitar :3

that's all the profiles! might get back to drawing them all doing band stuff together soon 🎸

UGH THEYRE SO BEAUTIFULLL.. the way you capture poses and specifically people embracing each other is so amazing

Aaaa thank you so much!! I'm so glad you related! There were a good few years where I stopped swimming and it sucked to lose that part of me because I couldn't ignore another part of myself. Thank you so much for watching my film 🫶

“Blue Again” is finally out! Thank you to everyone who helped me make this film 3 years ago. This was the first film I made after fully coming to terms with my gender identity. I hope it can resonate with others that have similar experiences. :)

Digital illustration of old, mage Viktor with early season 2 Jayce. They are at the edge of a river in the forest. Viktor is standing and solemnly looking away from Jayce, Jayce is sat on the forest floor with his feet in the water, gazing up at Viktor with a painful expression. In the reflection of the water, you can see the hints of Jayce and Viktor in their academy clothes and happier expressions.

Here's my artwork for "Memories bring back you" by @/darrengn (on twit/ao3) for the @jayvikbigbang.bsky.social !!

I'm so grateful to have collabed on yet another angsty painful fic :') go give it a read! link in the replies⬇️

A digital illustration of the bodies of Jayce Talis & Viktor from Arcane in an alternate post-apocalyptic universe. They sit against a wall under a boarded-up window with light spilling through, highlighting them. Surrounding them are lush vines and colorful arcane growth. Jayce takes on his husk appearance from season 2, while Viktor takes on a modern version of his commune appearance with long, wavy hair. Jayce sits behind Viktor’s dead but still not decomposed body. Jayce’s arms are wrapped tightly around him, and his head is resting on Viktor’s shoulder, with one leg up to support Viktor’s body and the other curled beneath. In Viktor’s lap is an open journal lying face down and next to them is a backpack. In front of them stands Jinx, with a rifle strapped against her back and her hand braced against the wall, peaking/walking into the room where their corpses are. The foreground suggests the room was once a kitchen with a shelf, a hanging pan, and an oven.
