1st Ix, except it's my Skiold AU and he's Uno reversing you. ✨(And Gefion didn't braid his hair today)

Drawn for @withinthemirrage from a few prompts given except...only vaguely because I have a single braincell lol I'm so sorry. 😂

Concepts for my "Everyone Lives" Rays AU that I've had since 1st Ix's debut chapter. Gefion and Skiold!

Skiold being my AU name for 1st Ix due to how perfectly it fits him, mythology-wise. Skioldr is Gefion's husband in mythology! And he died as well. More on my reasoning and concepts below the cut.

In the event 1st Ix lived, I figure he'd rename himself to avoid the Ix confusion, and follow along with Gefion and Nevan in differentiating themselves. Skiold feels like a way to write his name akin to how Gefion was translated.

My very first concepts were to give Gefion and 1st Ix proper sprites (It was before we first saw Gefion's face) so that I could draw them without confusion in an imaginary post-ending sandbox scenario where they're both fine. A lot of my doodles were made after the first concept, so you'll see that one mostly. But I really feel like I'm getting close to where I want to be in the most recent 3rd concept!

A heartwarming moment. They're very happy for them. 💜

Despite all the bravado, Biro does care about his mirrist of course. He's a good boi deep down.

The "ai" (an interestingly strong word for "love" to just casually use) is a reference to 1st Ix's speech habits. 1st has the chillest speech. Haha.

Bakouple.

The last sketch is technically a separate piece altogether, but it does fit in pretty well here. Haha.

I slipped it in here because it was originally supposed to go along with another sketch, but I hate the other sketch, so.
