Ehehe 100% self indulgent alt Varic x Mell art.

I really have to write down all my ship headcannons at some point, I keep thinking about them constantly <3

Art Rambles below

I actually finished 90% of this a week ago but I couldn't decide if I wanted to add Novabots or not. I'm glad I did, they added the extra details that this piece needed.

I tried a new shading technique, not only was much quicker than my usual method, it m think it doesn't look half bad! I used two gradient maps, one set to multiply and the other to color dodge. I think I'll try to practice this technique during the Art fight, see if I can get used to it.

#the last horizon #the last horizon series #will wight #varic vallenar #mell #my art #the last horizon fanart #Mell x Varic Vallenar #Spellbinder x Doctor Nova #i feel like i should clarify that I absolutely love alt Varic x Mell but not the current Varic x Mell.#funny how alt Varic x Mell is my OTP but I genuinely hope that current Varic x Mell never happens #Too much of a weird power dynamic #usually that isn't a turn off for me but its just extra weird and awkward between them #Shipping Varic with any of the crew has that power dynamic just because of what Varic is #but for Mell especially I just can't see her being able or willing to work past that #Unlike say Sola and Raion who both are shown to actively try to get to know Varic more personally and even the scales #And a lot of why Spellbinder x Doctor Nova worked so well in the alt life just doesn't apply to them in Varic's current life #In that alt life Varic and Mell started with no one but themselves #they both abandoned their pasts and had no one to rely on when they met #I'd like to think that Mell taught Varic a lot about living as an adult #things that Varic never learned bc he grew up rich and things Mell had to learn bc why would the labs teach her to be independent?#They bonded over making a new life for themselves free from their past and also stealing from the Advocates #They bonded over shared secrets that Varic already knows in this life so there is no room for Mell to really feel connected to him.#What makes Spellbinder x Doctor Nova so great just never occurs in this life.#can't see current Varic x Mell working unless its in a polycule where everyones working together to make it work #Which is adorable and hilarious but even then their dynamic will never be the same.
