Glad To See I'm Not The Only One Thinking About Shifting To Arcane.

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking about shifting to arcane.

I just...bro...if I see a comfort character I will immediately 💀.

Literally have two different "people" to shift as because I couldn't choose if I wanted to be a firelight or your average Zauntie

🤩😍Awooga Sevika 😍🤩

Its been a hot minute since I’ve posted actual art on here lol

AMEN AMEN AMEN ✊🤧

I wanna see more of them in S2 bro

Ran and the homies playing pool 🙏🙏

Or Ran winning a fight

I wanna see them swords in true action baby!! >:∆

Ran is beautiful.

She lowkey has that Jamie Hewlett Art vibe and they deserve to be shipped with Sevika every now and then. Also, she uses double swords to fight. Someone do something with that information.

Feather minion appreciation bro I am in love 😫

Am I the only one who's curious about Silco's minions? Especially the ones that have been with him through the time skip and have been given more focus.

Like, it seems four survived the explosion, including Sevika, the only one with a name, because, I mean, she's Silco's right hand woman (I will not make a pun I will not make a pun).

Then we have, from left to right in the bottom picture, Goth Minion (aka Gender Envy), Mr. Unstable Vibes and Big Tat Guy (aka Gentle Giant Vibes).

Now, Big Tat Guy goes with Sevika and Jinx on the ship right after the time skip and he gets 1) shot by Jinx, 2) sent to jail without saying a word about Silco except that he's scary, 3) decked by Vi, making him the perfect bridge to connect Caitlyn and Vi and start the new chain of events. RIP Gentle Giant Vibes, we never saw you again (literally, because I can't find clips of his scene's post time-skip).

But then, when we get to the new The Last Drop, we see the other two thugs, years later.

Honestly, they are both quite changed, but Goth Minion is very striking to me for some reason.

And then we have Mr Unstable Vibes with one of the new minions, let's call her Feather Minion, just raving away.

What's best it's that later we see him again being the center of attention right before Vi walks into The Last Drop for her showdown with Sevika.

And guess what??

We get to see him with Feather Minion again! Sure, he was startled and scrambling as far away from Vi as possible, but it was in her direction and I like to imagine they are close, personally.

We also get to see the twins, also new, more than once. First at, what I assume, is their regular job inside the business, as bouncers.

And then we get to see them again when they accompany Silco to the bridge after the explosions, to protect him while he searchs for Jinx personally and they pick up her weapon. I got the the image limit, but the moments of them, enormous, flanking a smaller Silco, who is carrying is dying daughter through corpses and rumble... This show is so beautiful.

So yeah, I really like seeing Silco's employees.

But in any case I really, really liked that when Silco goes to threaten Marcus, you know, going to Piltover, which is hostile territory, to the fucking Sheriff's house, which is even more hostile territory inside of hostile territory, to the home of a guy who could get all of the Enforcers in the city to get them if things go south... Silco takes the two remaining henchmen he has left, aside form Sevika, from that night in which most of his people died. The ones who have stayed by his side the longest.

Look at this guy! There's zero (0) lights upstairs! I love him!

WOOOO

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.
