Kind of amazing that I knew exactly who I was with only your lines. Considering this fella was the exact point I stopped playing for a long long time. Not his fault! Just happened that way. The design is so cool & recognizable even if I still find myself wondering what his jam is. Magic? Some kinda fighter man??? It is a mystery. What is for certain is that you communicate shapes so doggone well!! Wrow. 🧡

Loving the squint, this fella's a malder.

yessss im so delighted to hear... being able to get his design down with basic shapes to be recognizable was my goal... giddy......
he used to be like.. a living aspect of war who would mysteriously appear and turn tides of war. he also waxed poetic a lot about bloodshed and war and shit. broody boy.
he is........ find him perched on a cliff speaking of the woes of combat

Ooh Riot made a Phobos OC. Neat. That makes a lot of sense, actually. I guess there's something kinda voidy or demonic in the visual design but who even knows what the mythology of Runeterra even looks like anymore.
... I love him, I wish to hear cantos of carnage

the darkin were kindove implied demonic before they retconned it into a shuriman thing??? i havnt read or kept up with the current changes cause i dont like it lol
he literally quotes the poem Do not go gentle into that good night by dylan thomas (before rework anyways). nerd

There is something freaky beautiful in the will to live, no matter what it costs
Anathema to my beliefs of what is really beautiful about harmony & the finer, gentler things in life
No denying that it's a facet of civilization, that as civilized as any dare to fashion themselves, violence seems unavoidable across history
a fine thing to explore in fairy tales & fantasy

i think fantasy is the best place to play with those concepts indeed, like adding salt to cake mix.. the contrast of the sorrow and pain makes the peace and love much sweeter :)
an icon of war who specifically turns the tide in favor of those failing too, i love that kind of thing for storytelling
