Unfortunately, I did not find Silco, butt booty naked and tied up, under my Christmas Tree with a pink bow in his hair looking up at me like a kicked puppy. Expect a crash out accordingly.

May we know more on your arcane oc you posted recently ? Everything about the design is so good 👀

Yes!! Thank you and absolutely!

So! His name is Sebastian and he's a mage. He lives in Piltover and leads a double life, one being a student at the academy to learn more about the arcane, and the other being in the Undercity, trying to find a way to fix the pollution in the fissures. His main goal is basically just to help the Undercity as much as he can.

He's lost his memories of most of his childhood and believes that he was originally from the Undercity, however nobody there recognises him. And while he's lucky to have made it as a student in Piltover so far, he has to hide his identity as a mage due to their reputation as warmongers.

Alongside that hes also trying to figure out his own arcane talents, since he doesn't really know how they work yet and why he has them in the first place. It's all a bit mumbo jumbo right now, but I promise I'll make it make sense somehow lol

I took inspiration from the arcane art book, especially with Powder/Jinx's little doodles. They were so fun to do!

If this gets received well I'm planning on maybe even drawing some short comics to share some more about him and his lore!

Dark Details of Arcane Season 1

Five of some of the darker, more morbid details you might not notice watching for the first time.

1. Silco's Shadow

In s1e6, when Marcus opens the door to his daughter's bedroom, Silco leans forward to place cards on the house he and Ren are building. For a brief moment, however, his shadow appears to be strangling Marcus' daughter.

This eery juxtaposition of course foreshadows the threat Silco will soon make to Marcus and the hidden danger he poses to Ren. It is also ironic considering what happened to Silco.

2. Jinx's Voices Trying to Convince Her

In s1e9, during the dinner party scene, you can hear a voice whisper something to Jinx after Caitlyn points pow-pow towards her. It is difficult to make out, but listening closely you can hear:

"It's time to leave them."

This prompts Jinx to whip her pistol out towards Caitlyn, who is already aiming towards Jinx, nearly getting killed in the process.

Supposedly you can hear this phrase during some other scenes involving her psychosis, however this is the only scene in which it appears in Netflix's subtitles.

Earlier in the scene Vi tells Jinx that:

"We can just go... we'll leave and never come back!"

This triggers Jinx's psychosis. She asks where they would go, looks over to Mylo, and says,

"No... no, no, she's not saying that..."

3. Message to Silco

If you look closely at the table in the dinner party, you can see that Jinx, furious and hurt after overhearing Silco's apparent plans to "betray" her, wrote "DIE" on the table in front of him.

After accidently killing him, Jinx looks down emotionlessly at the table, exactly where she wrote that word.

4. Painting Parallel

The scene of Silco cradling Jinx on the bridge is likely meant to be a visual reference to the 1880s painting Ivan the Terrible and his Son by Russian artist Ilya Repin. The story behind the painting parallels a different scene.

The painting depicts Ivan cradling his dying son after he struck him on the head in a fit of rage. Ivan is horrified and grief-stricken at what he has done, placing his hand over his son's wound in a hopeless attempt to take it back.

This foreshadows Jinx killing Silco when she is no longer in the right state of mind, as well as her immediate shock and regret. She even begins to place her hands over his wound before realizing there is nothing she can do.

5. Aftermath of the Bridge Explosion

In episode 8 when Jayce visits the bridge, we get a brief shot of the aftermath of Jinx's explosion, and looking more closely one can see just how gruesome it is.

Blood splattered everywhere, intestines spilling out, blown off limbs, and even brain matter can be made out in this graphic scene. The rest of the shot, however, is very beautiful.

Arcane was originally going to be even bloodier. In the storyboards Jinx punches the arcade so hard her knuckles bleed all over it.

In the original layout animation, blood sprays on the camera when she bashes a firelight with Pow-Pow, and she even smiles with glee.
