In common Salty fashion, here I go answering an ask from over a year ago. My apologies for the severe hiatus and delays. College has been a disaster for my schedule, but hopefully, I can become more active during my downtime! For the absence, have TWO Clags in dresses. The first picture is Clag wearing a frilly summer dress while the other is drawn over an old art trend on Twitter. Clag doesn't strike me to be against feminine fashion styles despite being masculine but he does get a little flustered when asked to wear things such as dresses though it would be a lie to say he WOULDN'T look good. Anyways, enjoy!
🌼 Hello everybody, I apologize for my sudden leave and hiatus, but college life has been taking up the majority of my time, and I have found myself indulging in different interests besides Arcane and Claggor. Though my love will always be there for him, I'll try my best to keep up with this blog even if it isn't as popular as it once was thanks to natural public interest dwindling all together relating to s2 but anyways, here are some of the artworks and WIPs I have of Claggor and Xalas :). Hope you all enjoy it! 🌼
OUGHHHHH, GUYS, ELLE POSTED AGAIN, LOOK AT MY SWEET BEAUITFUL PRINCE HE'S SOOOOO CUTE. ELLE, YOU CONTINUE BEING THE BEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THIS IS AMAZING WIDNASAODNAODNAKDN!!!!!!

Contains: Mentions of self harm
Note: Most of these are headcanons inspired by friends I’ve made in this fandom. The Pitfighter Claggor AU has lingered in the back of my mind ever since I first read @claggorluvrgurl’s post about Claggor mourning Vi’s death, which made me wonder how the family coped with that loss in the AU. More recently, @chickennuggets08’s post about Pitfighter Claggor reignited that idea and pushed me to finally explore it. If you’re looking for more angst Claggor content, definitely check out their blogs! They have many cool headcanons. :>
‧₊˚ ⋅ ❥ After Vi's death, Claggor mourned in silence. He had always been someone who kept things to himself, not wanting to bother anyone with his troubles. For a while, he believed he was handling it better than the others. Powder had it worse, no question, and Mylo, who was always the whiniest among them, suddenly had nothing to say. You would think he would blame Powder- he wanted to, but he couldn't. Not after seeing her cry with Vi's lifeless body in her arms.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ❥ In that moment, when Powder broke down crying, there eventually came a point when her emotions simply shut off. It was like that strange calm after tears, when you can't cry anymore and the silence feels heavier than the sobs. Afterward, she became difficult to reach. Conversations with her felt like she was only half there. And over time, her family began to see signs of schizophrenia, and when her psychosis struck, it was terrifying. Mylo saw it firsthand. He blamed himself for not recognizing how fragile she really was, for being too hard on her and for not realizing what Vi's death would do to her. Some nights he told himself that if only he had admitted he was too scared to go on that mission, if only he had stood with Claggor when he told Vi that going to Piltover for a heist was a bad idea, things would be different. He unknowingly blamed himself for everything, but he refused to face it. Instead of lashing out, he withdrew and became distant.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ❥ Seeing both Powder and Mylo unravel, Claggor had no choice but to pull himself together. As second to Vi being the oldest, the responsibility of holding the family together was suddenly thrust upon him. He didn't even get the chance to mourn Vi properly because he was too busy trying to keep the others from falling apart. He wore a strong facade, setting aside his own grief because someone had to. But taking care of a schizophrenic sister lost in psychosis and a brother who had become a stranger was more than anyone should bear. And while everyone thought he was handling it well, the truth was that he was breaking under the weight of it.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ❥ Vander never saw it, or maybe he didn't want to, as he was also trying to keep a strong facade. Vander might not have told Claggor directly to step into Vi's shoes, but the pressure was there all the same.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ❥ What finally broke Claggor was the realization that Powder had caused the explosion. It didn't come to him in a sudden flash of intuition- Claggor wasn't that kind of person. His memory was too sharp and it worked against him like a curse. At first, the thought lingered faintly at the back of his mind. The way the blast in the apartment had sparked blue, the way Powder had clutched strange crystals in her hands afterward. He hadn't registered them then- he couldn't, not with Vi's body lying still before them. When he saw the crystals again at Powder's hideout, the memories clicked into place with brutal clarity. The devastation hit him like a blow. He was furious, but he couldn't take it out on her. So the anger turned inward, and he searched for outlets anywhere else. That was the beginning of the spiral.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ❥ At first, it was alcohol. He didn't drink the same way Vi did. Never in excess, never openly. But he slipped drinks while bartending at The Last Drop. That lasted a year or two, until the drinking wasn't enough. Then came other ways of hurting himself, quiet self-destruction hidden behind the mask of being "the strong one." Eventually, he stumbled across pitfighting, and in its violence he found the release he couldn't find anywhere else. The fights left him battered, his right arm especially took the most damage. Later, he began wearing the orange sleeve to cover the scars.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ❥ His spiral stretched across years. After Vi's death, the first two or three years had been nothing but suffering. The next two or three were a slow, painful healing. The years that followed were them as a family, learning, step by step, how to stand again. And maybe- just maybe, Silco would end up being part of that healing.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ❥ By the time Claggor enrolled at the Academy, nearly seven years had passed since Vi's death. He started later than most, which only fueled the pressure he carried into his first year. That was why he threw himself into his work with such determination. The Innovator's Competition he participated in wasn't just simply ambition- it was survival, proof that he still had something to offer, and a chance to carve out a place for himself despite the years he had lost. It was his leverage, the only way he could advance quickly enough to catch up at the academy. But more than that, it gave him a new purpose. For the first time since Vi's death, he wasn't just trying to keep himself or his family together.
As thanks for reading til the end of my post, here's a bonus content for you!
Pitfighter Claggor drawing without the post prod thingy dramatic lighting stuff.
It's a shame that most details I made became barely visible after adding the dramatic lighting so I need to find an excuse to post this version. And do you see his hairstyle better now? What do you think of the wolf cut? I tried my best to make it look good on him 😭
Every sibling must have at least one moment when they had a weird haircut... Mylo you are next.
Aaand before you move on here's a quick shameless plug LOL-
There's a discord server dedicated to our boy Claggor! If you're a Claggor fan and want to discuss more headcanons with other fans or just hang out, we would totally love to have you there :3 Also you will get to see more Claggor content like some of my WIPs and other cool artists' too! Invite link is at the pinned post of Claggor Lovers Tumblr Community.
🌼🌼🌼 OOMFIE POSTED PEAK AGAIN, GUYS THIS IS THE MOST CANONICAL PITFIGHTER CLAGGOR HEADCANONS OF ALL TIME. MY SWEET SON DESERVES EVERYTHING NICE IN LIFE :((( (PLEASE SHOW MY BELOVED ELLE SUPPORT BECAUSE HER ART IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ONCE AGAIN!!!!) 🌼🌼🌼
🌼 First post where I'm not answering an ask for a while. Figured I might as well post this... very unserious Claggor shitpost for all of you to enjoy? More answers to asks are coming soon!!! 🌼
It's always Mylo and Vi, Claggor and Powder, Mylo and Claggor and Mylo and Powder but never Vi and Claggor so i gotta ask: how do you personally believe/think Claggor and Vi's dynamic was like? ('m sorry i have to clarify this BUT I MEAN ALL OF THIS PLATONICALLY IN CASE SOMEONE GETS CONFUSED/DOESN'T UNDERSTANDS WHAT I MEAN)
🌼🩷 Vi and Claggor's sibling Dynamic 🩷🌼
Hmm... well, sadly, the writers never bothered giving much of a relationship with Vi and Claggor in particular which has always bummed me out in regards to the other family members Vi got to interact with a lot more. BUT here's how I personally headcanon their dynamic to be like!
• Claggor is Vi's second in command for the most part. He is the second oldest one of the kids, and definitely a lot like Vander in the sense that he is a lot more calm, rational, and capable of taking charge of stressful situations if he really has to.
• Claggor also served as Vi's voice of reason constantly in the time we did have of them interacting together in season 1. He again is cautious and rather thinks things through, but he isn't nowhere near as rebellious and determined as Vi. He was specifically the team's sensible, pragmatic guy who always made sure to ask Vi if what they were doing would be worth their time and the danger.
• Also, due to Vander's constant pressure he placed upon Vi to essentially become a second parent to all her siblings, Claggor is the shoulder to lean on for Vi when she needs to let out her frustration about her siblings or expectations she's trying to fulfill. Claggor would also know how that feels thanks to being Vander's "errand" boy and the one SUPPOSED to be the most reasonable. The only times the two would really have time to bond as siblings would be during the late nights when the two aren't able to sleep and they rather listen to each other rant and vent. Claggor definitely had a huge spot in Vi's heart as all of her family but again.. the show never bothered acknowledging the fact Vi even had a family outside of Vander and Jinx, which is something I'll never NOT feel upset about.
Anyways, thank you for your ask and for wanting to hear my perspective on the two! I know the fandom probably already figured out the dynamic of these two pretty easily so my headcanons are by no means revolutionary or anything but yeah these 2 are my absolute favs and they mean the world to me :(( (ALSO SALTY IS BACK ANSWERING ASKS WITH ART YEAHHH WE'RE SO BACK)
You can email me at [email protected] or use Tumblr DMs (not advisable). Additionally, you can contact me through Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok (all platforms use the same username!)
HELLOO EVERYBODY, IM BACK FROM THE DEAD AND FROM MY HIATUS!!! I am sorry to all my claggor fans (literally all my followers) for not coming back with something you guys should expect. I want to deeply apologize for my sudden quietness for the past few months and lack of postings. I have now graduated and have been busy looking for jobs and preparing how to live in the real world but at the time being I have been able to finally announce that my commisions are open for any fan that wishes to personally commission me for anything!
As for any Claggor art updates, I will now start answering the asks that have been left to rot for a few months. I hope you can all forgive me for my absence and unintentional starvation from Claggor content, hopefully at some point I can also branch out and post some of my art from other hyperfixations or fandoms, even my own original OCs but we'll have to see how that goes. Thank you so much for supporting me and being patient, it really does mean the world to me :( 💜💜💜
Claggor being in love with benzos adoptive daughter since they were young and always having cute little moments when they'd sneak out to the rooftops to look at the moon and stars and just talk.
He's always awkward around her and stuttering not being able to keep his composure even into adulthood he's all jittery around her and blushing. But still no confession. Until one at a invention convention Benzo and Powder plot.
Benzo pushes his daughter, while powder shoves Claggor making them bump into one another. The contact sends sparks through one another. Claggors a stuttering mess of course unable to form words.
"Hi Clags"
He freezes at the nickname she's given him since their youth him face flush and mouth at a thin line
"Hi y/n"
"Dance with me?"
He looks to her hand then grabs it. His hand completely covering hers as she pulls him along. He's nervous. Unable to look at her as they get into position to sway to the music. His brain turning to mush as her hands are placed on his shoulders and his on her hips.
"Are you really going to make me have to make the first move after all these years clags?"
He looks to her finally confused, but she quickly pulls him down by the back of his head into a soft kiss that he returns tenfold.
*Benzo and powder smile from the distance finally seeing what was supposed to be some years ago"
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you anon for feeding my delusions 🙏
Helloo! I'm back again after a month of disappearance 😭 Just had a very stressful month...
Anyway this has been sitting on my inbox since March. Idk who the OP was and I hope you're still here. I'm so sorry it took me this long to post your hc. When this was sent to me, I'm not really sure how to respond so I thought about making a visualizer instead. Also, I have no clue what your OC looks like so I hope you don't mind if I added my shameless self-insert instead.
To make it up, I made a version of just AU Claggor so my fellow Claggor fans can add their own OC or self-insert to the picture :3 (PLEASE I NEED TO SEE YOUR OCS AND SELF-INSERTS. I CAN'T BE THE ONLY DELUSIONAL CLAGGOR FAN OUT HERE </3 )
If you guys have an OC/self-insert that's taller than AU Claggor, you can use this version of him that is slightly looking up:
Also, a few reminders if you guys decide to use my drawings:
1. Please do not remove my watermark or alter my drawing of Claggor in any way. You can add your signature next to mine so it's understandable that it's a collab piece.
2. If you plan to post it online, please tag me (either on this account @unveiledelle or my main account @fiongbonto) and link this post.
3. Ask for my permission first if you plan to repost it on platforms other than tumblr, twitter, bluesky, and instagram. My DMs are open, please don't be shy to message me :)
GUYS ELLE MADE A COLLAB FOR ALL CLAGGOR FANS TO DRAW THEIR OCS WITH!!! MAKE SURE TO PARTICIPATE THOSE WHO WISH TO DO SO. WE'RE STARVING AND ELLE IS PROVIDING. WE BETTER THANK HER WITH COLLABORATING PLEASEEEEE!!!!!!
OI love your art so much! Are you okay? You haven't posted in weeks!💔💔
Salty comes back for one post before leaving again, part 230!!!
Jokes aside, I appreciate the concern, if I have worried any of you guy's with my sudden absence I'm deeply sorry :((( my final year of classes is about to conclude and I've been busy with end of the year arrangements and finals which excuses my sudden disappearance. Don't worry, though! Once I graduate, I'll begin working on all my asks as soon as possible because now I'll actually have some free time. Just wait for me, guys. I'm getting there. As compensation, have a High School AU! Claggor has been getting his ass beat by finals bc he chose all AP (advanced placement) science classes 😭😭😭
GUYS GUYS GAIDNAKDNAKDNAKD GUYYYYSSSS AIDNAODNAKDNAJDN MY FAMILY, MY DEAR FAMILY IS HERE LOOK AT THEM!!!! JELLYBEAN, I LOVE YOU. I LOVEEEEE YOU AND YOUR ART AORNWKDNN IM SO HAPPY EVERYONE GO GO GO SUPPORT GO MY SCARABS, I EXPECT 100+ NOTES ASAP!!!!!
can i politely ask for more claggor content riot is slow
...If Riot is slow then I am slower 😭
Anyway... the long wait is over because I finally managed to finish one drawing! (I'm hopeless)
I think I've said this a million times across many platforms, but I apologize for my sudden inactiveness. I have an excuse for it this time! Please bear with me 😭
The reason why I suddenly stopped posting art is because I've ran out of alcohol markers while I'm rendering some of my sketches. I waited weeks for copic to restock their refill inks to no avail until I realized I'm going to need to force myself to learn how to draw digitally or else I'll never be able to produce fully rendered art again.
"Elle. You can just use any other traditional medium. I thought you knew how to watercolor-" I ran out of some of my watercolors too 🥹💔
I can just post my sketches and be done with it but I know the Claggor fan club are starved and I'm a slow artist by default so I want to start giving you guys quality content to make up for it.
By the way, I have seen the messages some of you have sent me on my inbox and I'll be responding to them with art soon. Some are sent like a month ago so I want to reiterate through this post that I'm not ignoring you guys. I just need... more time to respond to them.
But why do I keep getting anonymous asks though? Literally I only have one message on my inbox that isn't anonymous. I want to know who are sending me their silly thoughts, headcanons and short stories. I want to talk to you guys. Y'all better start revealing yourselves to me or else! /lh
THE TUMBLR BOTS GOT OOMF GUYS. I NEED YOU ALL TO GO SUPPORT HER BEAUTIFUL MOST AMAZING AND STUNNING CLAGGOR PIECE I HAVE EVER SEEN. The soft, calm, comforting expression, the pose, the BEAUTIFUL LIGHTING!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE PABLO PICASSO OF THE CLAGGOR COMMUNITY COMES BACK AND THIS POST ONLY HAS 35 NOTES!!! THAT'S A CRIME!!! GO COMMENT AND LIKE NOW!!!! My beautiful amazing king.... too good for this world...
just wanna say i rlly love ur artstyle and drawings!! It’s so nice to see ppl love Claggor bc he’s such a sweetheart 🫶
Just like my last post, this isn't an ask, but THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! There's a bit of paranoia in me that you all will eventually tire of my monochromatic artstyle (I suck at colors and color theory) thanks to its repetiveness. But it brightens my day whenever I have you guys just coming into my inbox, so say nice things. Here, for that, you all get a mini Claggor sticker! Might make some more in the future, but ehhh, I gotta think about it!
Claggor, as a character and a person, brings a huge comfort to me thanks to him falling into the archetype of big people who have gentle hearts. Gentle giants, basically. Not only that but he's so shrouded in mystery and tragedy due to the fact he's a side character in arcane and since Riot/Fortiche can barely care to give him and Mylo any damn attention I might as well do it myself. Sorry, Mylo fans, I'm GETTING there 😭😭😭
I love the little flowers in all your draws, I've always loved those little details🩷🩷🩷
This isn't even an ask, but I greatly appreciate the kind words!!! I'm glad my art can bring comfort to all my followers through the soft, monochromatic schemes and shapes!!! Every arcane character is assigned a shape, and Claggor is flowers (Survivor! Claggor is gears as an inverse!) Anyways, I don't really have anything eventful to say other than THANK YOUUUU!!! It's dangerous to go alone! Take these 2 Claggors!!! (By the by, my last post was labeled as mature content when it's arguably the most wholesome thing I've posted. The Claggor tit drawing is RIGHT there, yet it is untouched. Tumblr bots are so stupid, so I apologize for that! It's still under review, I fear 😮💨).
I made up an AU in my head now I can't help but think about it even more... PUPPY CLAGGOR!! RAHH
That sounds adorable!!! I tried my own hand at drawing puppy Claggor, but I wasn't quite sure if you wished for an actual dog, an anthro form, or just Claggor with dog ears and tail, so... here, I'm sorry if it isn't to your liking, but I'd LOVE to hear about the AU so I could get a better idea of what the vision is! Also, if I were to associate Claggor with ANY kind of dog breed, it would be St.Bernards thanks to their big, fluffy, imposing build allowing them to serve as good guard dogs but also function as great rescue dogs! Not only that, they're gentle giants who are relatively friendly, calm, and patient, though they can have a tendency to be stubborn and that just SCREAMS Claggor to me. I'd love to heat everyone else's headcanons, though!!!
I love how some of my asks aren't even questions, just people wanting to show me stuff sigh.. I love the Claggor community. Though it's definitely dying because there's ZERO content no more (people lose interest very quickly nowadays) but here, as the Claggor artist (I only know how to draw him) you all get a Modern AU! Claggor in pajamas :333!!! This also counts as anatomy practice, I suppose! (Deadass, I think we should make a Claggor discord server or something because the Fandom is ACTUALLY dying 😭😭😭)
hi I come to you with a silly headcanon……… Claggor’s VA is a birdwatcher/photographer so what if Claggor was as well? fits in with his whole nature/flower vibe, plus I love the mental image of Claggor surrounded by birds like a Disney princess
I LOVE ROGER CRAIG SMITH SO MUCH DUDE HE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE VOICE ACTORS EVER :((( Claggor would ABSOLUTELY let himself relax by taking pictures of beautiful scenery or bird watching for hours! It's obvious his things are plants, but that definitely doesn't mean he isn't a huge animal lover, too! After all in one of his concept arts he was drawn with a literal squirrel just for shits and giggles, which I'm sure is another way for the concept artists to say "Yeah he's an animal lover and stuff". He wouldn't have access to the best cameras, of course, but he would try his damn best to take at least presentable pictures of birds and attempt to do some environmental research on them. Anyways, here you go, guys. I guess this counts as a Modern AU! College Claggor, I hope you all enjoy him! I'm slowly but steadily answering all my asks, so if I haven't gotten to you, don't worry! I'm getting there!!!
Sooo... when are you going to draw me holding AU Claggor's man boobs? 👉👈
I knew this insanity was inevitable with asks. Hey, HEY, DON'T look at me. Look at @fiongbonto !!! They're the one who asked me to do this 💀💀💀 All jokes aside, these kind of batshit insane asks are hilarious, and I genuinely don't mind them much. My reputation as the wholesome Claggor artist is gone, but at least I took care of this ask so I can focus on the more wholesome ones again.. sighh... here you go chat....
(The amazing rendering in this piece low-key pisses me off, like, this is a SHITPOST HELLLOOOOO??? Guys, idk if I should even post this, but I'm just gonna say this, don't be surprised when I post SOME suggestive stuff once in a blue moon. Hopefully, I don't get weird looks 😭)
