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.
