Beauty in Splash Art 3

League of Legends splash art is, on the face of it, perhaps an odd place to go looking for beauty. These are JPGs whose first and primary function is to hawk video game cosmetics for a free-to-play game, it's not exactly the sort of thing you expect artists to particularly flex their creativity for.

And true enough, a lot of splash art is fairly rote. Here's a character, wow look at their cool pose, don't you want to spend dollars to own this, and so on.

But sometimes, one of the artists working at Riot, or at their outsourcing studios, seems to get a bee in their bonnet, or maybe they just get excited about an opportunity to practise craft, and you get splash art that tries to do something more than simply sell the product, or artwork which displays a real flex of technical skill, often in ways which are functionally invisible at any of the common resolutions that the art will ever be displayed at.

There is genuine reward to be found in those pieces, in zooming in close and marveling at the level of effort spent. So let's spend about an hour doing that!

There is really something going on at Riot with Father Daughter relation theme.

They heard - Is there anything so undoing as a daughter - once and decided to totaly run with that.

There is a lot of Dads in League

Tf2 Characters If They Were In League Of Legends [part 1/?]

a list of mercenary headcanons and the regions of Runeterra they might belong to:

Offense classes:

•Scout is from Zaun

•Soldier is from Noxus

•Pyro is from Ixtal

I also have a headcanon about Scout as a mercenary working for Silco so consequently he also works for Jinx. Soldier is a Noxian mercenary like Samira, Pyro is a fire elemental (wow how much imagination...)

Defense classes:

•Demoman is from Bilgewater

•Heavy is from Freljord

•Engineer is from Piltover

My headcanons: Demoman lost his eye after making a deal with Tahm Kench, Heavy is part of the Winter's Claw so he's allied with Sejuani (but I can see him being good with Ashe too, let me know what you think) and Engineer studied at the same Academy where Jayce and Viktor studied and knows Heimerdinger

Support classes:

•Medic was born in Piltover but moved to Zaun

•Sniper was born in Bilgewater but lived in Ixtal

•Spy was born in Demacia but moved to Piltover

Medic went to Zaun for obvious reasons (uncontrolled experiments). Sniper I actually imagine is a Vastaya but I'll make another post about my headcanons (maybe). Spy is a mage and escaped from Demacia

"You can't leave without letting me hug you first" for Morgana, Kai'sa and Sejuani, please?

Of course of course!

Would be delighted to. Hope this is fine!

YOU CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT LETTING ME HUG YOU FIRST

Morning came too fast and soon you both would leave the bed;the warm furry covers and the body of your lover. Sejuani was the first to leave the bed, leaving a trail of cold from the moved covers. She was fast on her feet, despite the temperature. She wore her clothes and tied  her hair. You watched her for a brief moment, admiring the strong physique of the woman of your heart before leaving the bed yourself. She was ready to leave when your voice halted her step. -You can't leave without letting me hug you first- You opened your arms. -Heh, you sure are a softie- Sejuani embraced you before leaving to take care of Bristle.

A smooth,motherly like voice stopped you from leaving the cave Morgana was resting in. The lady opened her arms with a small smile on her face. -You can't leave without letting me hug you first- Your heart melted and turned back to her. She wrapped her arms around you. Her wings followed after;not too tight around you to let you breathe. Her scent was soothing and now you didn't want to leave the hug anytime soon. -I'll be back shortly, I promise you- You begrudgingly left her arms. -Have a safe journey- You waved at her;stepping out into the morning sun.

-You can't leave without letting me hug you first- You said to her as she looked down to a corridor opened by a void creature. -You talk like I'm about to die- Kai'sa tried to ease the tension between you too;sighing when she felt her suit react at the vicinity to the corridor. -What if you do.What if you never come back- The woman frowned. You were about to give up when she hugged you tightly;resting her head on your shoulder briefly. -It's not the first time I venture there. I'll come back to you- Your arms held her close just a little bit longer before she could step out. The two of you exchanged a last affectionate look before she let herself fall. You watched her descend with hope in your heart.

Can I request Sejuani, Jinx and Zeri (all from PROJECT verse) with sniper S/O?

Sure can 🩷

Zeri

She's so hyped to have you

She may be too eager to get in everyone's faces during battle

So having a cute sniper covering her back makes her feel safe

After you're done fighting will kiss you all over your face

Loves you so much she starts short circuiting everytime you return her kisses

Sejuani

(there's no GIFs for PROJECT Sejuani I'm sorry)

No matter how away you are, she's always keeping an eye on you

An enemy is too close to you?

Bristle's already trampling over them

Will protect you at all costs

After battle will check you for injuries

And let you come back to the base on Bristle if you're tired

Jinx

(same with Jinx)

You just wanna stay far away? Lameee

But she still loves you

No matter how lame you are

So will shoot anyone withing a five foot radius

Loves cuddling with you after fighting

Will say that you're a cutie

Just to make you blush

[blacksunemiku]

i just realized one of the the reason they probably made arcane about piltover and zaun is because piltover & zaun had the worst lore of all the regions lowkey like if you asked me anything about the lore of that place before arcane, i remember absolutely nothing about it outside of jinx lmao because ionia’s lore alone kinda blows everyone else out of the water

which is why i’m looking forward to what riot has in store and i’m glad they decided to do only 1 more season of arcane as someone who lived through both voltron and she-ra and is currently witnessing whatever the fuck is going on with miraculous ladybug

they could have easily milked the show with a shit ton of seasons and i am questioning how they’re going to end it atm BUT i’d rather a show be good and short than to be long winded and terrible lol

[voyaagers]

sacrificing those you love most for the greater good just for them to be reborn to haunt you…the romance of it all

[league-of-starlight]

Sejuani should have an interaction with an allied Udyr that's something like "I do not need you constantly watching over me. But... it is appreciated."

Maybe, I don't know.

Project Sejuani (1 of 3) - Marie Magny

[ohnoitstbskyen]

So: for LoL, which storyline is your favorite? And if you were to decide, what direction would you take it?

I mean, my favourite story set in any League of Legends thing by far is Arcane, but I suspect that's not quite what you mean.

Second to that is Ashe and Sejuani, specifically as their relationship is told in the Ashe: Warmother comic. It's a comic about the ways in which their relationships with their mothers shape them into the people they become - both of them consciously rejecting their mothers' legacies, and yet both of them utterly reflective of them.

Like, Ashe's mother Grena is this unflinching visionary, utterly possessed by a dream of ancient legacies, who is at once incredibly powerful and willing to sacrifice any number of lives for her vision, but also vulnerable, flawed and terrified of what her leadership will do both to her tribe and to her daughter.

And you see those qualities emerge in Ashe as she determines to become the protector of the weak in the Freljord, the champion of the Hearthbound and the vulnerable. She inherits Grena's steel-edged will and dedication to a vision of the future, even as she tries over and over again to reject her mother's obsession with ancient glories and mystical names.

Sejuani on the other hand is raised by... well, by a bitter, abusive drunk who sees her as nothing but a signifier of her own regrets and failures, and who projects all her own insecurities and weaknesses onto her child.

And Sejuani grows up both resentfully rejecting all the insecurity and pain her mother has been beating into her, but also inherits her mother's brutality and willingness to see the human beings under her command as disposable objects whose worth is measured in utility.

They are two reflections, two shadows of their mothers, and of the relationship they had to them, sisters by mutual choice and love, who are brought into conflict because their traumas have shaped them in irreconcilably different ways.

It is ENORMOUSLY compelling as a narrative about siblings, and as a framing device for the conflict in the Freljord - especially with Lissandra spooking around in the background as a universal mother-figure for the region, who in turn has her own traumas about being alienated from her sisters in ways that are similar to how Ashe and Sejuani were split apart.

The Freljord sometimes runs the risk of devolving into pop culture viking stereotypes and high fantasy pagan god nonsense (/affectionate, I love Ornn so much), but Ashe and Sejuani and their estrangement, especially as presented in Warmother, brings the thematic core of the region back down to some extremely fundamental questions about how to survive in an abusive environment - whether it be a harsh winter, or a broken family.

Warmother is a fantastic comic, everyone should read it (the art by Nina Vakueva absolutely fucks, and the approach to character design is strong as hell), and it breaks my heart that Riot's management couldn't keep their shit together with Marvel for long enough for it to get any kind of a sequel.

where league of legends girls place in the girlboss-wetcat spectrum

[deadn30n]

i know i'm not quite back to writing yet but i picked up tanking & jungling in League of Legends because i also really love tanking in FFXIV and who would've thought this'd be the hidden secret to me winning games
