I'm in love with this Shyvana VGU concept. I really REALLY hope this is the direction Riot chooses to iterate on. Look at those a r m s

It's officially been a whole year since Udyr's VGU released on live servers, so I made a silly collage of stuff I've worked on in the past year, new cosmetics and all that 🐻💕

Jayce and Viktor: Short Story and Biographs Archive

Hello everyone! I compiled both Jayce and Viktor's current biographs and short stories into a google drive this morning.

I love my boys and in the upcoming face of Arcane s2, I fear the entire nuking on their old lore by Riot. So, I decided to make an easy-access archive where anyone can read their biography and short stories in full.

Google Drive Link!

This is just an archive of their bios and short stories, I would HIGHLY suggest checking out @vikjaycecodex which has a plethora of archived material relating to Viktor and Jayce (no Arcane!)

BigBadBear, a league of legends leaks and news account, apparently confirmed Viktor is the vgu 👀

He has been pretty spot on in the past sooo

I have a love/hate relationship with this news. Do I think his League look is a little outdated and could use an update? Yes. But do I want his look to disappear entirely? Definitely not. I like how dweeby he looks. I like the armor, and the cosplayer in me likes that it is relatively simple/easy to build (by easy I just mean that those individual armor pieces are easy to make, not that building a full MH would be remotely easy). And like a lot of players (even though I’m not one of them) I like his BDE strut. That walk is everything. It’s made for the catwalk. Walk, walk, fashion baby. So I don’t want his walk to change either. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—it would be nice if his current look is kept as an option, like a legacy skin. Cuz there is already an unnecessary contention between League Viktor enjoyers and Arcane Viktor enjoyers, and we don’t need one more reason for discourse in the fandoms.

Cons aside, I am immensely excited to see what the VGU is gunna look like. It’s pretty much a given that it’s gunna align with his Arcane look, and just from that glimpse of his arm in Bridging the Rift, I feel like it’s gunna be kick ass. Exposed wiring, see-through limbs, gears that you can see moving within him??? Hnagdndahafa that would be incredible. Also, maybe an update to his voice lines?? More lines with/about Jayce??? So many possibilities!!!!

Just keep his whore walk plz Riot.

Was messing around with what I'd want from a Shyvana VGU a while ago because I LOVE her. The art is kinda messy, oldish and I'd probably change her look a lot if I drew her again but I thought i'd post this anyway before anything is properly revealed. Nothing too groundbreaking here but my notes are under the cut so it's easier to read (I thought her name was spelled with two n's oops):

Note for her hair: -An attempt to groom, some struggle implied.

Note for her body: -Diagonal scars to represent that she is in between worlds

Note for her horns: -Files her horns (to appear more human specifically)

Extra Notes:

-Shyvana tries to look more fem/human than she is. It pains her, but the community/acceptence makes her happy.

-Armour colour palette purposefully conflicts with her organic colours.

Extra notes not feature in image:

-I wanted to really focus on the dichotomy between the two sides of her and the idea that as much as she may try, she is always apart of both worlds.

-I reference her old design a lot her mainly because I actually really like it despite it's many flaws and just tried to make her more refined to fit in with modern league.

-I really want to design her Demacian armour at some point because that will really help to sell the whole idea, I think.

-I specifically made her very monsterous but not to the point where she'd be too inhuman. Snaggled tooth, ridged ears, large horns and her deep purple skintone (you can't see in the image but she has partially clawed feet, as well).

-Even though it's not a choice I'd usually make I think the eye colours I picked feel very league-y even if it's not entirely appealing to me and I'm pretty happy about that.

-I'm honestly really unsatisfied with her face, it really doesn't feel right. Maybe it's too smooth or something but I'd probably completely change it in the future.

Finally got my old Orianna VGU concept finished! With Arcane season 2 coming out now I had to get her finished before it finishes dropping just in case she makes a surprise appearance.

Reference sheet + reference photo! Also apologies to Ball. I had no ideas for Ball.

i have so many thoughts about arcane but I'm so tired because it's 5 in the morning and I'm starving because i didn't eat and my brain is functioning at about 2% and all of my insides feel like mush.

Honestly fuck riot games for screwing over their employees like they are nothing. Lore has been the one thing that kept me interested in this game, why i decided to even master some of my favorite champions. Season 2024 dev blog gave me hope for the future of this universe, but right now? This is just one big pile of bullshit. Lor is on life support, Riot Forge is dead, no color stories, no universe map. Laying off some of their most talented writers and artists and ruining their lifes. It's truly baffling how one thing that keeps me away from actually playing league of legends is a fucking Riot company. And you know what, maybe i should finally listen to them. Well, i am mainly invested in lore and now Arcane seems to be the only source of lore we have. Fantastic deal, perfect for me. I can spend less of my time on shitty moba rather than having false hopes that shit will get better. Fuck you riot, sincerly.

Dia de Los Muertos is over but with the incoming VGU we gotta pay respects to the death of this little guy's appearance... I'll miss you angry looking robot Viktor, I'll miss you forever

//You known, I just noticed that the Arcane version of Singed fits his name much more than the current league version?

Like, clearly his name is a pun right? It implies he got his scars by getting 'Singed', but in league he didn't get those scars by burning, he got them by getting clawed on by Warwick.

Meanwhile in Arcane he got them after his lab exploded, hell it might not even be what his original name was, maybe it's something he named himself after the accident. In the pursuit of science he became Singed.
