¡Hola a todos! Quería compartir mi escultura de Vander.

Mi objetivo era darle un look un poquito más realista, pero sin perder la esencia y la identidad del personaje original.

Te dejo un link a mi ArtStation por si te gustaría ver más capturas. ¡Salud!

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my sculpture of Vander.

My goal was to give him a slightly more realistic look while still preserving the essence and identity of the original character.

I’ll leave a link to my ArtStation in case you’d like to see more screenshots.

Cheers!

I build a LEGO Arcane- the Bridge set and posted it at LEGO Ideas. So you can Support it for free, for a Chance to become a real LEGO set.

There's Something So Poetic About a Musician Going to War

There's something strangely poetic about seeing someone whose life is connected to music suddenly stepping into the battlefield.

Music is supposed to be about expression, emotion, and beauty, while war is almost the complete opposite. Seeing those two sides exist in the same person makes the character feel even more tragic and human.

Arcane really knows how to make these small contrasts hit hard.

She's Absolutely Stunning. ⭐

I was so honored to showcase my full Jinx cosplay complete with her full arsenal of weapons at Boston Fan Expo and the cosplay contest.Although I didn’t get a physical trophy, I enjoyed being with other crafters talking about how we made our cosplays. I love forming a community around amazing people with my props and I hope to build on my skills as a cosplayer and potentially win a major award as Jinx. (Or until someone physically stops me lol).

Here’s my cosplay contest statement:
As a celebration of her most favorite cosplay, she decided to improve all aspects of the cosplay from the outfit, props and hair. She expanded her repertoire skills including sewing, foam work, 3d-printing, and electronics. Her most prized aspect of her cosplay is her multi-functional props. The fishbones launcher is a three in one and lights up, acts as a personal storage bag, and can shoot bubbles. The pow-Pow gun spins VIA with a DC motor. The chomper grenades are made of wind-up teeth An approximately 300+ hours went into making this cosplay accessible and accurate both artistically, and in-character.

I was always getting comments about how I was the most accurate Jinx cosplayer they saw which means a lot to me because I’m not the appearance, race, or weight of the character especially because she’s also very popular I thought I would get a lot of hate in person and online. However I love showing people my cosplay and the dedication to the character and I love when people say I’m the real Jinx. Also side note I saw my therapist there and a person joked “Good for Jinx she has a therapist “.also my pow pow broke in one of the photos lol.

This thing took me almost 20 hours dawg (ig: xx._karii

Part of a larger comic series 🦋 You can read the full 1MHE series for free on AO3. (post-canon comic)

fanart by me! ]insert caption] bc idk what else to say........... caitvi ily............

Their legs are. So long.

Its no secret that Jinx has a tendency to be in high places. She's constantly in the rafters, and her workshop is right in the middle of a bottomless pit. I've grabbed what I think are all the examples of her being in a high place. Brackets with numbers refer to that picture number (5,8) = picture 5 & 8

What's interesting is that it contrasts younger Powder's relationship with heights. Powder notably is very nervous making the jump in Ep 1, Sleeps on the bottom bunk, and while she is in the rafters in Ep 2, she's not at all confident being up there (1,2,3). While AU Powder has the same hideout location as Jinx, the guard rails are a massive difference (6,12,14).

I'm gonna try dissect why. And I think I've found 4 reasons why - and I easily think it is multiple of these.

1 - Its obviously a safe place for her. She feels more comfortable being out of sight and able to spy in on others (5,7,9,13). I'd argue the workshop being isolated and elevated is an extension of that (6). This is confirmed with her in the arcade instinctively retreating into the rafters when the enforcers arrived (10). However, this is contrasted by her lighting the flare and standing on the pillar in the Vi vs Jinx fight (8,11), given that she is in a high place, and actively drawing attention to herself. I think the flare scene represents stepping out of her comfort zone to reach out to Vi, and I think the pillar represents her indifference to dying. She wouldn't complain if she was shot, but she'd go out swinging to try take Vi out for her betrayal. I love that she actively brings her workshop - her safe place - to the final fight (16), and that that becomes the symbol that the Zaunites fight behind - implying maybe that Zaun as a whole is now her safe place.

2 - She's still mentally stuck in the ep 3 explosion (4). I don't think I have to justify this one lol. But I do find it quite interesting that she becomes almost fascinated with being in high places only after this explosion where she was notably falling from the blast. The only contradiction to this is that she doesn't really change in this regard when she begins moving on from this trauma in S2A2 (12,13) - but ig its an 'old habits die hard' kind of thing, or its because she's accepted that these things have happened to her, its part of who she is but she won't let it weigh her down anymore. (I think her having all her personal items in the workshop blimp confirms this)

I do wanna say that I love that she has the only elevated house in Viktor's commune. Its like it was made for her.

3 - Part of it, I think, is that she's trying to mentally distance herself from Powder. Powder was weak and scared of heights and that's why Vi abandoned her, so Jinx cannot be weak or scared of heights because Silco or someone else will abandon her. I think this is highlighted by the contrast between her in the rafters as Powder and as Jinx (3,5). She also distances herself because Powder slept in the bottom bunk (2), and therefore Jinx must be high up. On top of this, she gets rescued from falling by Vi (1,17). This first time was because she was weak and afraid (and mostly young) and the second time she's grown since. She isn't weak and afraid anymore, but she's still being rescued by Vi - which I think is symbolic of her growth during S2 - given that at this point she's internally a mixture of Jinx and Powder. This is contradicted by earlier in S2 where isn't mentally distancing herself from Powder anymore - but I think Jinx projects Powder onto Isha (even though I see Isha as a little Vi instead) and so she's still not Powder so doesn't have to worry about Powder's struggles.

Btw while writing that paragraph I realised that (1,4) parallel each other and symbolically foreshadow the ending of S1E3. During the explosion, Vi isn't there to rescue Powder while she's falling, and so Powder falls indeed

4 - I partly think her workshop is a nod to her indifference to dying in S1. I don't think she'd complain if she accidentally fell off. I mean she dangles her legs off the edge (6) and she seems to be looking for the right time and place to die (end of Jinx vs Ekko and Jinx vs Vi). This is confirmed by AU Powder having guard rails around the workshop (14) preventing something like this happening. I think this is also confirmed by her actually trying to take her life this way (15) showing us she's known about this and has probably has thought about it in the past. The only issue with this is that her workshop still has the falling risk in S2E4, but I think this is 'old habits die hard' and procrastination. I can totally see myself putting off installing a safety railing for months because survivorship bias.

I do think its a mixture of all 4, but do tell me what you think, or if there's another reason why this might be the case. I am all for infinitely dissecting Arcane because I just can't get enough of it. Its been 4 months now and its still all I think about (not that I'm complaining lol, I dedicate so much time to rewatching and reading fanfics, and I've gotten all of my friends through S1 now - just waiting till uni break to continue with S2)

I cannot believe I haven't seen this show yet.

I'm about halfway through the first season, and I'm already blown away!

It really reminds me of the world of *Dishonored*. The art style, the music, and the story... it's just *chef's kiss*. 🤌

I might be late to the party...but oh my god am I gona rewatch this many times...

I just finished the first 2 acts for like the 5th time i dread to think how many times i’m gonna watch this its so good.
