Seagull

Okay i give up on making second design in any foreseeable future so here is the first one at least

As (I think) I've mentioned before, in my alt!S2 Sevika works for Viktor after he flees to Zaun (they meet through Singed)

Guys sertanly do have a rather peculiar idea of ​​reconciliation

some quick meme while I have nothing else to post. I'm almost done with my Sevika redesign but in my alt!s2 she gets to have two different prosthetic arms one after another and I wanted to post them both but so far I've only designed the first one and still got almost no ideas about visualizing the second one. Im actually pretty bad at designing mechanical stuff even though I like it. I'll think about it some more, will probably post only the first version if I wont come up with anything soon enough

Photobashing Vi's ep9/epilogue design and Maddie's firelight undercover outfit for alt!S2

I wasn't even sure if I wanted to post Vi's outfit, but I decided to show it along with Maddie's outfit concepts because no one gaf about Maddie and posts with her alone won't be seen, and because i have nothing else to post now.

Anyway, what can I say here.

I know that Vi's S1 outfit is already based on her LoL outfit, but i'd say that was quite subtle if you ask me, and since I decided to more or less tie the ending of my rewriting to LoL canon, I though it might be worth showing the characters wearing something actually similar to their canon looks during the ep9, or at least in a short epilogue in its finale.

Not much to tell about Maddie though; I tried to keep her outfit simple and not too personalized. It also has red, blue, and green tones, hinting at her three roles as a Noxian agent, enforcer, and firelight.

In the ep8 of alt!S2 Dictator Kiramman lost the battle and nearly lost her girlfriend whom she took for granted, and suddenly remembered that hurting people is actually not good

(still better then Caitlyn in real season 2)

In my rewriting Maddie spied and influenced not only enforcers but also Firelights to fuel conflict between the two cities from both sides at the same time.

Viktor and Sky act2 Zaun designs for my alt!S2 fic

(Their emo phase lowkey)

(Quite an unexpected work for me, I was planning to design other characters, but somehow found myself here.)

After an accident and a conflict with Jayce at the end of act1, Viktor leaves Piltover and Sky follows him to support him and because she pretty much has nowhere else to go in her robotic body.

They collaborate with Singed and Sevika to continue their research and make a living, and settle down in a shimmer factory that was raided by Jayce and Vi in the first season.

As time passes, Sky's new artificial body is exposed to hexcore energy and becomes more magically organic than mechanical. She gets more human, but she feels worse, because what at first seemed like an improvement turns out to be a core slowly corrupting her body and soul.

Viktor, by contrast, looks healthier and full of life. He made a dramatic lifestyle change, curing his diseases with hexcore magic and moving to Zaun. It probably is the peak of his both physical and mental state, not counting his doubts about the illegal activities Singed and Sevika are pushing onto him and his devastating resentments against Jayce.

Not much to post lately, I've ran out of edits and redesigns and posting without them sucks

(But at least I've got a comment on my fic today. Cheers)

I think I could at least post some fan facts about my rewriting. Even year after i finished it there's still scenes and details that i sincerely enjoy about my own writing.

Or i could also tell something about Jayce. He's mostly pushed by decisions other charcters make and sadly isnt most interesying guy in altS2 fic in general, but he's in fact my favorite character in the whole show, by the way, so its even lowkey impolite of me to never mention him.

If anyone is in the mood to be generous they could ask me a question about a character or storyline in altS2

Nothing much better to post today, just a little old edit of young Sky i made once to make her look more like her adult version.

I do like her child design, its cute and funny, she's my babygirl, but it seems a bit off that she doesnt really look as much like her grown self as some other charcaters. I often hear that people who didnt pay enough attention didnt even recognise her (i think its mostly due to her tiny screentime but still)

So i edited her a bit.

Maybe one day I'll also do the opposite version and make an edit to make her adult version look more like a younger one, whether I post it or not depends on whether it'll turn out looking any good.

Young Sevika design concepts for a flasback in act3 of my rewriting and a word about her arc without major spoilers

She doesn't have much screen time (though way more than the real S2 anyway lol) but there are several themes that are raised here. One of them is the topic of her abdication of taking responsibility and fear of working alone.

After Silco's death, Zaun turns away from Sevika like from a fallen chembaron's right hand, but she still has some connections, strength, and other things she could have used to earn credibility and influence. But she doesn't do it.

Instead, she's trying to find a replacement for Silco, hoping to keep the life as before his death. She doesn't believe she can be more than an executor, that she can be a leader herself, and she's looking for someone to lead her. She doesn't want to. Refuses to.

The titles I gave to the episodes in my S2 rewriting and explanation

1. We had everything

2. Everything you do inspires me

3. In a pursuit of great

4. Heavy is the crown

5. You should pick a side

6. Dear friend across the river

7. We shared a vision

8. Our love

9. Breaking the cycle

Sevika meets Jinx but she knows Jinx killed Silco and she's not too happy about it (alternative season 2, act 1, episode 3, scene 4)

Jinx and Ekko team up to fight back against the enforcers in my alternative season 2 fic

(But mostly about Jinx now)

They don't have much screen time but its anyway much mire then canon bullshit.

Jinx has less screentime as her character arc was almost entirely completed in season1 imo: she fully became Jinx and rejected Powder, what else do we need? The only thing left for her to do is become less depressively-insane and more cheerfully-insane to become more like her LoL counterpart; and to interact with other characters and the consequences of her actions to avoid leaving a sense of ambiguity.

She fights Sevika because the latter knows Jinx killed Silco and isn't happy about it (plan to fully wright and post part of this scene and some others); she also fights Vi; and interacts with Viktor in one scene; and her fans from real S2 are still around but they're not here to show her as some heroic martyr, they simply act as one of the manifestations of the chaos unfolding in Zaun and participate in a couple of important battles including the finale.

Jinx also slowly attempts to mend fences with Ekko, eventually temporarily teaming up with him and the other Firelights.

Her rapprochement with him begins in ep4, when she meets him while he's returning to Zaun from Piltover where he spent most of the act1 for reasons. She learns he's alive and expresses her intention to stop the feud since she no longer works for Silco (well cause he's dead). This echoes the beginning of the same episode which also includes my interpretation of the cut flashback scene from S1 where Ekko failed to rescue Jinx from Silco.

And this may surprise some, but I included some songs in my altS2 retelling, including a description of the visuals and their plot implications. I wanted to match with the series. Of course, I won't be able to leave it like this if I want to rewrite this concept into a full-fledged fiction text. I'll need to replace them with normal scenes or exposition paragraphs with a similar meaning, but that sounds like a future me problem so lets settle for what we have now.

Now, if we're talking about Jinx and development of her relationships with Ekko, I can mention that the Hellfire song at the beginning of ep5 and that one french timebomb song that i put in ep6 demonstrate the fact that Jinx and the firelights (mainly Ekko himself) notice each other's contributions to the fight against the enforcers terror and sometimes even cooperate in this, which is the main reason for their attempts at rapprochement.

Also, returning to the regular scenes without clips, at the end of ep5 Jinx and the firelights accidentally engage in the same battle with enforcers and Ekko and Jinx help each other during this battle.

In ep7, Jinx supports Ekko (in a way) after a conflict that left him at a disadvantage, and in ep8, there's a crucial battle at the Firelights hideout, which could have been lost if not for the involvement of Jinx and her fans.

By the ep9 I had to push them apart a lil because they don't seem very close in LoL qnd i wanted to match, but they still fought together in the final battle.

Finished (it seems) Vi's civilian casual outfit design for my alternative season 2 fanfic

The color palette and pants design are based on the clothes she wore when she was younger, because that outfit is the only one she chose freely and willingly (whatever half-naked deadinside gachalife emo demon oc abomination they made her wear in season 2 doesn't even count).

My goal was to make the outfit reminiscent of Zaun but still more or less appropriate to wear in Piltover, where she spends most of her time in this fic.

The most challenging part was the top under the jacket; I changed it the most compared to the earlier draft. I also changed the jacket itself a lot, but that was relatively easy.

Instead of fixing and denying caitvi's toxicity, I went all-in and unleashed it to its full unromanticised potential

They weren't perfect in season1 and I had no particular attachment to that ship, so I wasn't that surprised when they got all fucked up in season2. Thouh, I was pretty damn surprised when the creators ignored all that dark abusive crap and pretended that what we witnessed was a happily ever after. But let's pretend for a second that we live in a better world where there's no real season2, okay?

I kept the plotline about Caitlyn terrorizing Zaun. Was it inevitable? Could I have come up with something else? Perhaps. But I wrote the entire plot outline in just a few months, or even less if you don't count the time I spent daydreaming and procrastinating, with my only motivation being my hatred of the real S2, so I wasn't that picky about it and went with the easiest way to develop the conflict between the cities. Also, the strike team members are hot and I wanted to include them but i didnt tell you that.

In my version Caitlyn isn't throwing hands at least but she can still hurt you in other ways. Her dictatorship arc begins later (active raids with the Grey and all that only start in ep5) and slowly wraps up by ep9. At first, Ambessa influences her, but Caitlyn quickly rejects her (and Ambessa can't do a shit about it at that point because she's just a rich chick from Noxus and has neither the authority nor a compelling reason to invade Piltover).

Vi doesn't have a pitfighter arc and stays by Caitlyn's side the entire time (and let me tell you, that's just as much if not even more suffering than fighting random people and getting drunk to death).

Vi's arc is about personality suppression, loneliness, finding your place in this world and finding the worst one possible. As much as I'd want to give her the good ending she deserves, I decided I wanted to make the ending of my fic more or less faithful to LoL canon (I don't even like it, i dont play it, but answer me this: why is arcane even connected to the game if it ends up non-canon for it? what was the point if it? make it make sense)

The season 2 disproved my theory that cringe is better than nothing. I'd rather nothing that what we've got. How much better would it be if arcane died a good show?

design of robotic Sky for my alternative season 2 fic

I won't lie that I wasn't biased when I wrote her storyline, I love Sky and I love skyvik. But I'm just as sure that the decisions I made were necessary for the plot progression.

Viktor does not become obsessed raisin with an ugly bob and inappropriate religious references without his own will, instead, the finale of his arc is becoming the classic pre-rework Machine Herald, and this is a consequence of his own decisions and actions.

And Sky going back to life was what it took. Her death shocked and completely demoralized him, he lost the desire to continue studying hextech and even fight for his life. Sky's resurrection reverses that effect and even gives way more. The further charcater development and Viktor turning into the Machine Herald become inevitable when he escapes his guilt, realizes that even death is reversible with the help of hextech and machines, and temporarily finds a companion that supports his ideas and aspirations.

Fr. We were robbed so bad there's no words to describe it. When I see screenshots and footage from the season 2 we got it feels like a physical slap, its very existence is devastating. But I have to see them when I look for pictures to edit.
