querulousArtisan @ Zines

I know I just shared, but if you have purchased the zine, how cool would it be to get the cover upgraded? Share and help us reach the goal!

A picture with the headline "Share Goal" Below that is the cover mock-up. The front cover features a gear with the zine title "Tuned to You" on it. On top, we can see Jayce and Viktor int their Arcane outfits during Season 1, their foreheads touching. Separated by the gear, is an upside down view of Jayce Giopara and the Machine Herald, Jayce working on Viktor's. The back cover shows Giopara and the Machine Herald locked into battle, Viktor's hands at Jayce's throat. Below that, again upside down are Jayce and Viktor in their Season 2 looks, Viktor as the Arcane Herald, his fingers in Astral Jayce's forehead. In the lower left corner it reads: "Share this post across social media before 7 Mar. for a zine upgrade!" Next to it is a graphic showing 100 shares

With the end of preorders coming closer and closer we have one more surprise for you!
If we hit 100 shares on this post across all social medias, our wonderful cover will receive an upgrade!
So go ahead and spread the word!

Look at this stunning work of art! You know you want to get this Jayvik and VikJayce zine to have this art on your shelf!

S2 Commune Viktor holding his head in his hands, no blanket, with a small smile and tears. His hands and head are disconnected from the rest of his body, and the stumps have the same patterning as when his chest was blasted open. His chest also has a blast hole, with the start of a sketch of s1 Viktor curled within. The text is the lyrics from Sections by God Module and reads: Take off your head and let me in, so I can understand you Take of your hands so I can feel if there is anything left inside you Remember to smile while I cut what's bad inside of you Remember to cry, to pretend you're alive while I hide inside of you

WIPWed art edition! CW For possible gore (Hands and head are disconnected from body, and the blast hole in Viktor's chest)

Mixing Viktor with industrial music again! This time inspired by the lyrics of Sections by God Module! (Lyrics can be found in Alt text!) #jayvik

"Did… did I say anything… strange?" he wasn't sure he wanted to know the answer, but he needed to know if it was his mind. Or if it was something trying to take over it. "You weren't making much sense." Ximena admitted. "But that's not unheard of." Viktor swallowed the growing lump in his throat. "What… what was I saying?" Ximena was contemplative for a moment, as if she was trying to figure out the best course of action in handling a skittish creature in her care. "You were speaking of a commune, talking about how everyone could be of one mind without pain." Viktor's heart felt like it stopped, the cold sense of dread washing over him. "You don't need to answer me." again, her voice was gentle and understanding. "Did you flee from a cult?" Viktor closed his eyes, trying to stop the tears that were threatening to fall. "Something like that." he said, voice a quiet whisper.

WIPwednesday, fic edition! Still working on chapter 3 of post canon modern! It's been slow going, this chapter has been a fight.

Have some very understanding neighbor Ximena and Viktor trying to process his dissociative episodes

Y'all, it's me! You absolutely want to buy this zine because the story I did spot art for is so gosh darn fluffy!!

Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl and his insistence on the thousands years long Qvo project to bring Freidisch back from the dead is honestly has the same energy as Jayvik with Jayce bringing Viktor back from the dead.

That man IS the warning tbh. Especially if I am putting him into a fic.

And ahh, thank you! Admitedly I probably won't fully start this until one of my other WIPS are done, but the idea of this au has me in it's grasp again, especially now that I know which direction I want to go in with it!

Jayce watched as Viktor fell to his knees, the support of the strangely armored guards gone as they let go of the man they had just dragged back to the small room they found themselves trapped in. He couldn't help but to wince, seeing the twist in Viktor's leg once more causing him to be unstable enough to fall onto a floor of hardened steel. Still, Viktor didn't flinch. He kept his once more golden eyes trained beyond the door, defiant as he straightened himself out. Jayce rushed over, nearly tripping over the chain attached to the shackle around his ankle, taking more care to kneel next to his partner, a hand sprawling over thin shoulders. He wanted to speak, but his eyes caught movement of someone walking into the room past the guards. The man was lanky and tall, taller than Jayce, a coat of stark white wrapped around his frame as he held his hands behind his back. Embroidery was etched into the coat, indicating that this man was "Dr. Corin Reveck". His face was angular, sharper than even Viktor's, hair brown and receding betraying the man's age. His eyes, dark and beady, stared down, trained on Viktor's burning gold ones. "Who are you?" Jayce demanded as he tried to move between Viktor and this stranger, but Viktor held out a hand to stop him. Jayce looked over in shock, and he couldn't help but to notice the recognition he saw on Viktor's face. "I know you are far more intelligent than you are trying to lead on." Corin said, his voice even and calm. "No one can hide a brilliance like the one you have in your eyes. So I ask you again— help us discover the secrets you know." Viktor's face twisted into one of frustrated anger, a look Jayce wasn't sure he had ever seen on the man. Not even when he had said his cruelties on the bridge in what felt like a lifetime ago.

"I will not." Viktor hissed, his lip a snarl. "I told you, you have no clue what you are trying to seek. I will not let another world to be condemned because a fool sought to control forces he didn't understand!" Another world. Jayce wasn't sure if Viktor meant the home he had been thrown from, or the futures seen when the memories of the mage flooded their minds. "I'm not asking." the doctor said simply. "I simply hoped you would comply easily. Maybe a show of how cruel I can be will get you to understand you have no power here." He raised his hand, a signal, giving a simple nod to one of the guards as they stepped forward. Viktor watch, first with that same intense defiance that he had kept since he had returned, but it was quickly being replaced with horrified realization as the guard stepped behind Jayce. Dread began to well in Jayce's gut, as he tried to crane his neck to see what was going on, eyes going wide as the barrel of the guards gun trained on the back of his skull. His heart began to hammer. He knew he couldn't move. Even if he dodged in time, it would simply put Viktor into the trajectory of the bullet. Jayce could never allow that to happen. The guards finger curled around the trigger, and with grim acceptance, Jayce knew what was about to come. He looked back at Viktor, whispering the words "I'm sorry" to his partner. Sorry for everything he had done. For the hurt he had caused Viktor. For not protecting him when he should. At least Jayce could take solace in the fact that the last thing he would see would be Viktor, human and alive once more, even if he had been scarred by the arcane as he waited for the bullet to enter his skull. Everything moved too quickly. The moment he had expected never came. Instead, thin arms wrapped around him quickly, deceptively strong as Viktor quickly curled around him. Viktor's voice was a howl, screaming "Don't shoot!" the words a desperate plea as Viktor tried to place himself between Jayce and the gun.

Jayce could hear the sobs being wrenched from Viktor's heaving chest, could feel the rabbit-fast pulse where Viktor's wrist pressed into his cheek, listened to how Viktor's breaths came out in near hyper-ventilation. "Don't shoot! Please, don't shoot! I'll do it!" Viktor begged again, and try as Jayce might, he couldn't break the protective grasp Viktor held. "Viktor, please," he whispered. "Don't do this." Viktor wasn't listening, only chanting "I can't lose you. I can't lose you." over and over. Viktor wasn't willing to condemn the world, save for one thing. Jayce's own life. "Don't shoot. Please, just let him go. I'll comply." Viktor begged through sobs. Jayce saw, from the corner of his eye, the slight smirk on Corin's face as he signaled the guard to stand down, and rage curdled in his gut. The man never had any intention to have him killed. "Then let us not waste any more time." Corin stepped aside as an aid brought in a wheel chair. Jayce could see the straps, and he felt sick. He tried to hold tight onto Viktor, but before his arms could wrap around Viktor, his partner was being ripped away from him once more out of his reach, watching as Viktor allowed the straps to be wrapped around his ankles and wrist to ensure he would not try to escape. Jayce's eyes met Viktor's, seeing the terror and the grief in them as Viktor whispered "I'm sorry." back to him. The aid wheeled Viktor out of the room, the guards following behind, and Jayce tried to rush, only to be reminded of the shackle around his ankle as he fell back to the floor once more. Corin looked down at him, a hint of amusement etched on his face. "You've proven to be quite useful." he said, unbothered by the wrath on Jayce's face as he realized the doctor had only brought Viktor back to use Jayce as bait. "You fucking bastard." Jayce snarled. "I have been called worse." was Corin's only reply before he slipped out of the cell, leaving Jayce on the floor as the steel door locked shut.

I know it's not WIPWednesday, but I AU'ed again with another PostCanon modern, only this one is a bit darker than the other one.

An AU where they are in another world, only to be captured by an agency looking to recreate magic, using Viktor.

CW for cohersion, kidnapping, and Singed.

He must stay contained for his crimes 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Y'all don't understand. When I saw the art for the selkie Jayvik charm I KNEW I needed it! Can we make it to the standee?

Remember, all proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders!

I know it seems like art from me has slowed down, but I promise it hasn't! Most of the art I have been doing has been for zine and fan projects, so I have been unable to share it!

I know I am sharing this a little late, but this is the last day! If you are on the fence about getting the zine, but want the pins, now is your last chance!

Listen, I need so many standees. We gotta reach the goal!

Y'alll let's gooooo! You all know you wanna unlock the next goal!

I might have to adjust my prices on VGen for emergency commissions. I probably won't have a job tomorrow...

Ahhh thank you! I am so excited to get this done!

sketched out scene of a hospital wall, the one usually found behind a hospital bed

WIP Art edition! Taking a moment to take a break from Zine work to work on a #Jayvik standee!

As the Medical Angst CEO, this one is definitely self indulgent, with the scene being Jayce vising Viktor in the hospital, but I promise there will be no DNR wristbands here!

You know you want the buttons!

Look at this absolutely adorable bookmark by @marndraws.bsky.social!

Let's keep the momentum going, Jayvik Nation!

Again, all proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders!

I did NOT spend over a year drawing almost every day, working towards improving myself so I could finally be accepted to juried fan projects, just to be fucking accused of using AI.

I am SO beyond insulted right now.

I did want to make sure people were aware of the scammer. That said, if you are going to do a Heated Rivalry style Jayvik au- PARALYMPIC HOCKEY IS A THING. Please, don't erase character's disabilities. Do some research on what may be available to a disabled character!

AHHHH I am so excited you got them! I hope you enjoy the geese Jayvik!

❗❗SCAMMER ALERT ❗❗

Ok time to put some order into chaos.

@ihaveahangnail (also know as Gigi) has been going around commissioning jayvik x heated rivalry screen redraw to multiple artists, only to dispute the payment later.

Proofs in thread 🧵

I see no purple/dnr wristband. There for I am going live with the idea Viktor is going to live and you cannot convince me otherwise!

Y'all loooook! You know you want to get yourself these items!

FINALLY. FINALLY POSTED THIS CORRECTLY

Look at this amazing project that I got to be a part of as a spot artist! I am honored to have been a part of such an amazing group! You absolutely should check it out, as pre-orders are now open and all proceeds go to Doctors without Borders!

-And she absolutely would have simply said "I just did what I felt needed to be done." especially since, as she is a neighbor, she has essentially adopted these two as her own, especially when she recognized just how traumatized they both are, even if she doesn't know the why.

He did accidentally call her mom when he first met her in chapter two, but Viktor was able to explain it away as him having just lost his mother and her looking just like his mom. He knows she isn't a mother, but he still would have told her "you would have been a great mom." -
