AHHHHHHHGGGG FINALLYYYYY

[overthinkingtaleblr]

Here’s how the League of Legends AU thoughts are going I’m drawing ✨Cosmetics✨ for no reason

That sounds bitter but I’m actually having so much fun. Based on how the story works. he Should be getting hit with the Ruined cosmetic from the pirate cosmetic, but I’m trying to properly define his style and general design bible before I do anything like that. I guess it’s kind of like voicing a character who is making an impression of another character: you need a good understanding of both before you do that.

Yellow guy in first picture is Light Zeron bc i like thinking about that time someone said they should be friends… honestly if any of my character designs needs a design bible its him because I promise he has distinct characteristics it’s just kinda hard to notice when i don’t use color and chose to say he has a variety of things he wears and uses hair dye and stuff— but I promise there is Some method Somewhere in the madness ^^

For people who missed my initial post here’s an explanation of the skins:

The pirate skins take place in a place called Bilgewater— its where the pirates all are— and at some point there’s a whole event that takes place there, where a bunch of characters across the map go ooh being a pirate sounds fun and get funky new styles and a story to boot. Gavin, specifically, would be going to Bilgewater with Light because the duo are traveling together as friends from the same region (Piltover/Zaun) and probably because they’re wanted for Some crimes. Gavin has powers over something called the Harrowing from Piltovians playing god, and Light follows Janna, a wind spirit who protects Zaun’s harbors from pollution, and has managed to get some powers over the wind from it. Together, they realize they’d be valuable to have on a ship that needs to go past the Black Mist— dark clouds surrounding what was formerly known as the Blessed Isles that contain very murderous souls (the Harrowing is an event where the clouds periodically expand over usually Bilgewater, since its closest, and it wreaks Havoc). Together they get on the good graces of a captain and get a job on her ship using paths through the black mist to get merchants and travelers to places faster than others, with light at the helm and Gavin at the front of the ship.

At some point not too long after they start, the spirits within the mist get restless and suddenly lashes out against the ship. Some manage to escape, but being so close to the front of the ship and being highkey completely exposed, Gavin is not one of them. The dude who basically acts as the leader of the black mist, Viego, realizes how useful of an asset someone who can control the Black Mist would be, considering Viego has a goal to basically conquer the entire map. So, Gavin becomes the first “Ruined” character of the Ruined King/Sentinels of Light event, where the black mist inexplicably spreads across the entire map— leading to several characters getting borderline possessed by Viego. Genuinely, I don’t think any explanation was given as to why the mist was suddenly able to expand across the entire map, so being able to add a character who retroactively explains that part of the story works for me. Plus, the Ruined skins has themes with royalty, which I think is fun for Gavin :] Everyone in this skinline Should have an equal and opposite in the Sentinels skinline from a similar place, but my style ideas for Light doesn’t work with the Sentinals theme. Ideas include Toast, leading to brotherly reconciliation, and Poppy, who I have as the captain of the ship who was able to escape because she is immune to the Black Mist.

That’s everything I find important to say for now? But these are the design sketches and I like them.
