Wip of a post Verso ending scene.

I went with his ending as it seemed like a logical one at the time but the more i think about it the more I realize i relate to Maellicia more in this story...

To think she got another chance at life where she got to find her people and make her own choices in life, only for it to be ripped away from her too fast, and now she has two lives and two brothers to grief.

'She can always repaint them later' except i don't think she can, maybe because she lacks the skills as a painter, or her burned hands are harder to move with precision. But also because it'd need extreme detailing to paint everyone back from nothingness, a whole new canvas. All while the memories from both her lives fade and merge as time goes on.

As disabled artist i understand too well the frustration of not getting it right and feeling like you never will, like you're running out of time, especially when your disability gets in the way and achieving your goal can start feeling impossible...

I love this game and how complex it is, I hope Maellicia gets to find something to love in this life she didn't want.

Xilonen redesign

I absolutely don't get what hoyo wanted to do with this character... She's a blacksmith? She's a DJ? She has rollerblades??? I don't get it.

Don't get me wrong, I really like her, she's one of my main, I love her design, confident women vibes and all... But it's like they combined 3 character in one ??? And the DJ part is mostly irreverent lore wise ???

So here's a redesign. I kept some references to her original design I liked, but overall I really wanted her to look like a blacksmith. Kept the confident vibe and the colorpalette, gave her slight muscles and darker skin and a freaking HAMMER

What do you think?

I did it. After a lifetime of using light mode on all my devices, I switched to dark mode. My eyes just can’t take it anymore, and after a few days of using it, I decided dark mode was actually kind of cozy and nice. So it was time to update my light mode art with a new version!

Even the public know that X can't function without sugar (his streams are basically him giving his favorite sweet street food spots to the viewers)
