My OC Sveta (ref sheet for art fight)

She's very sweet and caring, but that doesn't mean she's a pushover! One of her hobbies is woodworking because she likes to see the wood color pop when the varnish is applied.

She is part of my own fictional universe, which I am working on making into a comic

Had some fun thinking up a college arcane au with my friends. We have decided that Jinx is a mechanical engineering major and Vi is working odd jobs (pictured here as a construction worker). I really liked drawing the cunty high-vis jacket :)

Finally got the motivation to fully finish a piece. Here ya go, it's FULL of symbolism like every single element is there for a reason. Have fun with making up theories I'd love to read them :)

I PRESENT MY THEORY

ok I wanna point out some details I picked up on (apologies if this sounds janky Idk how to properly string my thoughts together):

1. we see jayce next to his hammer, reaching out to viktor. the hammer can have multiple meanings, but this pretty plainly implies he is choosing viktor over everything else in his life, as what was seen in the finale ( i.e “now all i want is my partner back” ).

Id also like to point out that jayce is considerably smaller than viktor, as if viktor is a deity to him, his entire world. (the halo behind viktor adds to that)

2. jayce is completely gold, and there are some sort of golden strings come out of viktors eyes. I think this is a way of referencing to viktors appearance during the whole jayvik finale, and I would like to mention that those strings are supposed to represent kintsugi— a japanese art of repairing broken pottery by filling the cracks with gold. kintsugi can be seen as a metaphor for life, that imperfections and brokenness can be beautiful. ( wow, that sure sounds like someone’s speech, I wonder who!! )

I’ll also mention that viktors body has holes and gashes in it, like hes broken pottery, and jayce being solid gold is a way of showing that he is sort of the “gold” that holds viktor together. he is the one showing viktor that there was nothing wrong with him, that he was worthy of love, and that jayce would always accept him for his flaws.

one more thing I’d like to point out is viktor having some roots of brown still in hair— signifying that while even in his godly form, he’s still there. that inspite of all of the hardships he endures, the acts he will take, no matter how far he gets from his humanity, he’s still viktor.

also just wanna say this piece is absolutely gorgeous, I can’t even begin on how much I adore it !! it’s so well rendered, the details and textures are bloody exquisite !!!!! thank u for feeding jayvik nation

[1eftsock]

That's a very nice interpretation! I'm very happy you picked up on his unbleached roots because that part took so long to do I almost gave up.

I would like to add that the "hole" that jayce is "filling" (besides the innuendo) is shaped like a heart. Well, as much as it can look like a heart :P

The strings coming out of his eyes were originally tears as I thought his interest in helping others stems from his own suffering. His sorrow is linking him to the people he helps. But I really like the kintsugi theory, I think it also suits him very much.

Another fun tidbit is that while the anomaly is "sharp" around jayce and is going after him, viktor is engulfed by it. It was very intriguing that despite being touched by the arcane, jayce wasn't really affected by it while viktor became... whatever that thing was! I mean jayce was pretty against it so maybe the transformation is affected by willpower?

OH and a very last thing, the sparkles on the golden boy are not random :)

Again, thank you for sharing your theories, I loved reading them, and I'm very happy you liked my work! Maybe in the future there will be another piece involving a certain golden lady...

Color study I did with some crayons

The very interesting thing about going back to traditional art is finding out just how much texture you can create so effortlessly. I'm surprised that with me putting colors where I want and not where "they're supposed to be" results in a much more interesting artwork. I also think that the fact that it was made as a sketch with cheap supplies removed the anxiety of trying new things. I was going for more dramatic lighting, but I guess this just goes to show how much I still have to learn about color! Also, fun fact: my signature is actually engraved in the crayon layer and not written on top it's kinda crazy how that worked!

Good points:

creative use of color

good overall perspective

cohesive color scheme

Suggestions:

use more contrast for shadows to emphasize

plan out more interesting composition

pay greater attention to perspective details

A little Phos sketch. I've got other stuff for land of the lustrous but I gotta scan it so I'll maybe do it later.

Some dark souls and elden ring art I've done a little while ago. The Malenia looking one is technically someone's OC that I drew but I included it for the ✨vibes✨

If you dissociate enough, you can feel nostalgia for things that are currently happening
