Sonic Approves

very rushed but there was an opportunity and I had to take it

Lately I've really gotten into drawing Stone in IbisPaint.

reference:

Peter Lukas: it's pride month. You know what that means!

Martin: what. Do you want me to- is. Is the extinction gay? What?

mutually assured destruction

he got that sass thrown back in his face in approximately 3 minutes (jayvik and the ugly fuck singed as sonic 3)

Stone, take care of him. His greed is sicking me

I wanted to get a concept that’s been rattling around in my brain for a while down. A headshot of Jonathan sims from TMA in his eldritch monster form!! I’ve always pictured it to be biblically accurate angel-like, bc if it’s one thing that they have a lot of it’s eyes !

jayce enduring a symbolic rendition of viktor's trauma is so painful and so, so clever.

being stricken down and immobilized through sheer accident or, in viktor's case, a cruelly random quirk that caused his disability.

then physically dragging himself from the lowest level of zaun to piltover, much like how viktor spent his youth reaching toward the promise piltover offered, but only if he could "pull himself up by the boot straps" and get there on his own. socioeconomic forces working against him be damned.

i appreciate arcane reminding us of viktor's origins - the reason he is so called to help people and, eventually, save himself - and putting jayce through the ringer - the contrast between he and viktor's lived experiences is front and center throughout season 1. the writers send jayce, and the audience, on a grueling journey to contemplate those experiences and how they've manifested in these intertwined characters.
