Vito.
Oh, what to say about Vito.
Vito is a scummy little man from the Undercity who’s quite adept at fixing a variety deals and somehow managing to keep it quiet that he’s the one that benefits the most from every arrangement he orchestrates. Sure, he may have lost a few toes to someone who grew wise, but by Zaun standards that may as well be a badge of honor indicating how slippery this bastard really is.
Those most well-acquainted with him know that his specialty isn’t scheming or intel - it’s his mastery of manipulation. He never quite lies, but carefully weaves clever half-truths that convince nearly everyone that he’s one of the “better” denizens of the Undercity. He’s skillfully lulled most of the people around him into believing that he is no threat to them - simply a means to an end. And that is a mistake on their part.
He’s no master of combat, but Vito does practice concealed carrying. His cane was built to double as a firearm, and underneath the brim of his hat, an array of throwing knives is nestled, waiting to be chosen by his hand.
This man is one of Miraig’s most staunch Undercity associates. A poor decision? Most likely. But if Vito were to give you an honest answer, he would admit he has a soft spot for her, as do his children. Too bad no one will ever know when it is he’s not turning lying into an unparalleled artform. On Miraig’s side, she does have some sort of twisted faith in him, however misplaced that may be. Luckily, even Vito has some measure of standards for himself, having openly admitted once that he may be a bastard, but would have drawn the line at selling out folks like Vander or Benzo to the likes of Silco.
The bar may be in Hell, but at least it exists.
My FFXIV character, Eyma Ronde.
This poor girl has been inactive since I finished “Endwalker”, bless her. 😔
Caprice, a Zaunite who sold herself into indentured servitude in order to escape the Undercity and live topside. She’s also willing to sell out anyone who threatens her current sense of stability working as Academy Security…at least, during “Arcane”.
Afterward you’ll see her trying to curry favor with Camille of Clan Ferros.
Miraig portrait studies.
I’m so proud of this child.
I gave her the gift of humanity this year.
Old canon Elined after Miraig and Viktor didn’t do the one thing she asked (( look out for each other )).
A high-effort shitpost. It’s just a screencap redraw from “The Road to El Dorado”—
Attempt a painting Miraig in the “Arcane” style, after the near-destruction of Piltover.
Even though their circumstances have led them to settle in the Fissures, they still come up topside once a year to observe the anniversary of everything that happened.
Had quite the run with MHA for a while.
Have some Sadzawa hours.
I love him but it seems like the universe just wants him to be miserable.
Have some “League” Miraig!
The first one is “old” canon now, as she in LoL lore was initially meant to essentially have been an enabler to her partner, Viktor.
And then there’s High Noon Miraig. She’s an ex-coal miner turned magic-wielding undertaker. She joined Viktor in this AU as well, believing that the only peace left to be found in the world was in creating a new end. And so, she developed her magic in a way that allows her to rob her victims of sentience, leaving them in a quiet haze, unaware of their own existence. This is how she deals with the risen dead - and the few who dare cross her. She’s been nicknamed “The Unmaker” because of this magic. She robs souls of the humanity that once defined them.
Some of my OCs featured in the style of “Xenogears”.
Mila, Kathe, Eula, and Bedwyr.
One thing I noticed about MHA is that no one talks about what Mic must be going through.
Including him.
Repressing those feelings can’t be healthy…
The designs for two protagonists for my current visual novel project, “Deathbed Dreaming”.
The main character, Kess, and her wife Quinn.
