Fabled Leviathan
I know this guy’s meant to be a king or some other sorta ruler type guy, but his design always immediately reads to me as “jester.” I think it’s his silly pointed armor shoes, but his color scheme of red, black, and gold does not help, especially where his ultra bright red hair is concerned. Colors aside, his armor design is cool and fancy, and I particularly enjoy his blue waist cape and its shading that makes it look like swirling smoke as it blends into his throne. Something about the way Leviathan is sitting makes it look like his throne is undergoing a weird, twisting motion along its length. Or maybe it’s just the shift in focus from the sides at the bottom to the middle at the top or even its whole placement in the art, but it’s a bizarre optical illusion regardless. Definitely fits with the dark, demonic void he’s in! The fact that he has the cool S on the armrest parts is funny as hell though. I can only assume it stands for “skull.” And of course, as a Fabled card, we get our fun little imp friends making an appearance. I only just realized they have names of their own, being: Vio (purple), Heresy (green), and Breach (yellow). They’re always cute and add a bit of whimsy here, particularly Heresy perching on Leviathan’s shoulder (the glowing outline means they don’t mesh well with Leviathan’s shoulder spikes, but the pose is cute anyway).
