A somewhat fresh face for the Arch-Mage of Winterhold: I'm actually really enjoying working with the original presets as a base.

For Savos I went with the "middle age" texture over the elderly, because he doesn't strike me as old as some of the elves I've covered so far. I wanted his appearance to reflect his heritage a bit more, so he has a special complexion with scars from Scarified Dunmer, gave him a new beard and hair combo, plus some chunky earrings (all of which feel very Dunmer to me.)

While it doesn't look like it in the before/after, I simply darkened and saturated his original skintone, something about Tempered Skins seems to add a lot of redness that makes dark elves look purple almost.

I actually didn't even realize his original design actually had white warpaint, so I gave him a new design to make him stand out a little more from the common warriors and bandits.

Favorite Media Music in no Particular Order Pt 1.

Inspiration: I just really wanted to do this lol. Music plays such a critical role in media (at least to me). When media has great music, it really enhances it for me. (I put part 1 because seriously I could do so many more of these lmao.)

Genre: Random List hehe.

TW: Me swearing? Otherwise a lot of these pieces don’t even have lyrics.

1. Counsel of Condemnation (Cyno Theme) - Genshin Impact

Listen this straight up slaps. I don’t even play Genshin Impact lmao! Though some of my lovely moots are into it, so I’ve been exposed through them. The song alone slaps and I need people to go watch his character demo. The General Mahamatra is not someone to be fucked with and his music expresses that really well! It’s ever so slightly sinister, but still up beat once things get going.

2. Viego, The Ruined King | Champion Theme - League of Legends

Riot managed to somehow completely encapsulate the arc and tragedy of Viego’s story in 4.5 minutes. From the death of his brother, putting him on the throne, the whirlwind fairytale of his romance with Isolde, and all the events leading to ruination. This piece manages to tug on my heartstrings in so many ways. Brilliantly done!

3. Taliyah, the Stoneweaver - League of Legends: Season 6

This piece is hopeful, beautiful, driving, and has little moments throughout the music that show Taliyah’s adventures across Runeterra. The build ups to the energetic points of the music are also just mesmerizing. To quote one of her voice lines: “Keep your eyes on the horizon and your feet on the ground.” (Love love love that she trained under Yasuo btw that’s such a good lore point.)

4. A Bicentennial (the Progress Day theme) - Arcane Episode 4.

When I say I literally gasped as the first peak of this song played when Heimerdinger opened the doors to show Jayce the majesty of Piltover post-timeskip, I fucking mean it. That moment left me breathless and it’s when I truly fell in love with the show (even though I really liked it before that point). But the low string leading into the HORNS. And the strings just do such an incredible job accompanying them as we’re shown around the new Piltover. The Piltover with HexTech. I also love the secondary swell as we see the sequence of the airship being sent to a different area of Runeterra via HexGate. It’s SO COOL.

5. Light of the Seven - Game of Thrones S6 Ep. 10

I distinctly remember watching this episode live one Sunday night with my parents and getting CHILLS as this song played over the introductory moments of the episode. The progression and rising intensity of the song fits the chaos as the viewer (and some of the characters) realize WTF is going on. And it’s incredible. Haunting.

6. Dragon Age Inquisition Theme - Dragon Age Inquisition

This song makes me feel like I can fly. (In fact I highly recommend listening to it as you’re taking off in an airplane. It’s great.) the transition from the slow intro into the drums is SO GOOD. And then the strings kick in again it’s just PERFECTION. Love this game and what an fantastic theme to go with it!

7. FAIRY TAIL Main Theme - Fairy Tail

One of the first anime I ever got into and from the moment I started watching I was like…YO THE MUSIC SLAPS. It’s so hopeful and epic! Every time the theme kicked in I was just like YESSSS HERE WE GOOOO.

8. He’s a Pirate - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

This one is SUCH a classic. One of my favorites to play in orchestra too. (Woot woot to any violists out there!) Just one of the most recognizable media themes and it’s phenomenal. There are so many moments from the scores of those films that I love.

9. Anakin vs. Obi-Wan - Star Wars Ep. III: Revenge of the Sith

The battle scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan on Mustafar is one of the scenes that defined my childhood. The incorporation of the “Imperial March” theme is perfect, showing that Anakin really has gone to the dark side at this point. This entire piece is emotional and at points, chaotic. Which it should be. The BRUTAL battle between master and apprentice. Also just knowing what’s happening to Padme and stuff. OOF MY HEART.

10. It’s Over Isn’t It? | Steven Universe

Yo Steven Universe has SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC it’s amazing. But this song specifically makes me SOB. DeeDee Magno Hall puts so much emotion into Pearl’s vocals. So much so the show even reanimated that part of the episode to better match her vocals. You truly feel Pearl’s unresolved grief here.

11. Test Drive - How to Train Your Dragon

This is such a magical piece! Accompanying Hiccup flying on Toothless, this song makes me happy. And the main thematic elements are just so beautifully grand. And the part when Hiccup just goes like “fuck the manual” and trusts his gut? That with the majesty of the music gives me chills and makes me smile EVERY TIME.

12. Trust Each Other - Game of Thrones S6 Episode 9.

Damn the music from this show is so good, but especially S6. This plays during the “Battle of the Bastards” (Jon Snow vs Ramsey Bolton). This music plays at a very critical point in the episode and it’s perfect for capturing the energy there. Also I love how it has the GOT opening motif throughout, though it’s adjusted to fit the situation in the north.

13. Duel of the Fates - Star Wars Ep. I: The Phantom Menace

The TENSION IN THIS SONG. One of my favorite pieces from the Star Wars universe. The urgency and stakes are conveyed SO WELL through the music. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul is such an AMAZING fight scene with incredible music.

14. Kingdom Dance - Tangled

THe second half of this piece makes me want to get out my flower crowns and Renn Faire attire and go dance in a field of wildflowers. Bonus points if it’s in the rain! What a beautiful and fun piece that helps to show off Rapunzel’s first festival experience! Also the way the music helps build up the cute moments between her and Flynn Rider!! Listen as a fanfic writer, this scene is something I live for and the music is a big part why.

15. Rewrite the Stars - The Greatest Showman

Listen the lyrics to this song are fucking phenomenal angsty fanfic fuel. Like come on now. Also I love a good romance-related song in a musical. Like god damn I really have been a romantic for a long-ass time 😂. But also this song is just really good! The harmonies for the bridge and final chorus are truly EXCELLENT.

This is such a random list I decided to post just because! But I hope you enjoy! And I’d love to hear your favorite media-based music! 💙

"So, are you enjoying this classic Piltovian weather?" Caitlyn asked as she sat beside Taliyah, trapped from the thunderstorm.

The stoneweaver's usually airy and buoyant hair hung heavy around her face, dripping, framing a smile that grew as her friend approached. She shuffled aside on the staircase, making space.

The view was incredible. The glistening, brass-lined rooftops were like the scales of a sea monster basking in the violet onslaught of rain and the darkening evening. Every so often, a bright flash painted it all white, and a tremoring, booming crackle followed, like the thunder was a mallet striking a gong.

" You found me! The storm caught me on my way back to your house. "

For the past days, the investigator had been the stone mage's unlikeliest friend and host in this strange city of Piltover. Taliyah felt her luck keenly, sitting there beside such a wonderful new friend, looking forward to another evening spent in her lively house, in merry conversation and playing jolly games that taught her to be more crass ( for laughs only! )

" This is common weather here? That's lucky. I always missed the rain in the desert. "

The mage's gaze was again drawn to the darkly magnificent view. " Before I traveled to Noxus and Ionia, I didn't know to miss it. I didn't know what rain could be like. "

A thunder suddenly split the sky. Taliyah jolted, bumping against her friend. For a moment she stared at Caitlyn, golden brown eyes wide -- and broke into a laughter. @piltover-sharpshooter

I TOLD YOU I WOULD MAKE MORE!!!

Stoneweaver, an animus who created the heart crystal, the source of warmth and light in the hollowwing kingdom.

[sea-chief]

Know the loom. Be the stone.

Haven’t posted in a while, my life kinda went to hell for a while :/

But anyway I apologize for leagueposting but I have a strong love for Taliyah. I care her. This is also sorta a followup to my Jhin set and hey I might make more

[ID: four versions of the same drawing of Taliyah from League Of Legends. She is a slender young woman, with brown skin. Her hair is dark brown, tied back with red ribbon. She is wearing a long sleeved blue tunic with gold detailing along the edges, brown pants, and a long red coat with more gold thread detailing. The collar of the coat, as well as the edges of the sleeves, are all stone, and she has stone bracelets around her wrists. She is looking upwards with a wondrous expression, one hand raised, and the other stretched out behind her.

There are two stone pillars, one on each side of her, with an archway above. All look to be somewhat crumbling. Between the pillars, the background is orange, with gold lines running through, and a gold ringed blue circle, with a golden compass above it, which resembles the sun. Several rocks float around her. There is a banner at the bottom, stylized like a tapestry, which reads “THE STONEWEAVER” in gold.

In the first version of the drawing, Taliyah is fully colored and shaded, with a black line art. In the second, it is the same shaded version, but without the line art. In the third, it is flat, slightly desaturated coloring, with black line art. And in the last, the outer background is a burgundy tone, and the line art is gold instead of black. END ID]

If you saw my earlier Wylandriah remake from months ago... pretend like you didn't, lol.

Like Dravynea, I started with her actual preset and just tweaked the new sliders to give her less-standard facial features while keeping the broad strokes of her look.

She has new eyes, custom horns, glasses, and ink smudges on her face she hasn't noticed yet, whoops!

I tried my best to find an even vaguely messy style, to suit her somewhat scatterbrained demeanor.

Umm... what were we talking about?

I'm using Hedge Mage Armor (with the colors addon) and I whipped up the lowered hood mesh just today for her btw XD

Happy Saturday Monday! Kynesgrove? :D

Kynesgrove - What's your favorite non-major city/town/settlement?

winterh—(i am hit with a comically large hammer)—whichever little mining town dravynea the stoneweaver is from. found the concept of a company of miners hiring an alteration mage to shape the earth and protect them from cave-ins intriguing and memorable

Why You Should Vote For Taliyah In The Pink Mahou Poll

I present to you: my daughter

For those who weren't there to put up with my incessant Star Guardian posting during the Star Guardian event of 2022, Taliyah is a League of Legends character who has a skin in the Star Guardian skin line, which is a magical girl au. Regular Taliyah and Star Guardian Taliyah are characters in different universes, but regular Taliyah is the base character so context about her is important!

Taliyah was released in 2016, and she was a unique addition to the champion roster as one of the very few female characters to have distinct facial features. She's a mage with the title of 'stoneweaver' as her powers allow her to essentially be an earthbender (to my understanding, I've never watched ATLA) and she makes rocky waves which she surfs along! She's a kind and caring person who values community and protecting those you call family. She's a teenager in the game and her lore on release, but by the time of the most recent story she's been in, she's in her early twenties.

The writers and artists at Riot who designed Taliyah originally intended for her to be trans. But this was before Riot started allowing their characters to be canonically queer (they've got a handful of gay champs now but still no trans champions), so it did not happen. Since then, there's been a lot of little hints here and there for queer people to pick up on, and she feels very trans coded.

Which Brings me to Star Guardian Taliyah! Star Guardians are a skin line in the game that was popular enough to get some story content.

I have a long comprehensive guide to Star Guardian media here that I made during the most recent Star Guardian event! Read it if you might have an interest in Star Guardians, but it's not needed to appreciate Taliyah.

Taliyah in this universe is a teenage magical girl who is shy and meek at school, but when transformed she finds confidence within herself. She feels more like herself in her magical outfit than she does without it, and her storyline is about finding how to discover and express her true self.

She's also a nerd who likes going to maid cafes and is a very competitive gamer!

During the event, Riot released a playlist in collaboration with various artists, with Star Guardian Taliyah being the face of it. Put it on in the background sometime if you like chill, cute study music and that sort of stuff. More Importantly, Taliyah is animated through the whole video (along with Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks) and she does a cute little dance. Please look at her dance.

In conclusion:

Pros of voting for Taliyah:

Every vote for Taliyah is a vote for trans rights

She is literally the cutest

It would make me very happy if she made it through even a single round <3

Cons of voting for Taliyah:

League of Legends sucks - yeah I can't argue with that, but consider that she is too good to be confined by the toxic game, and the actual artists behind her creation care a whole lot about her!

Shurima Family in Pixel Art

So I’ve been playing the Mageseekers and I’ve been imagining what a similar game about Shurima would look like.

It’d probably be called The Stoneweaver and star Taliyah, because she makes a better and more positive protagonist than Azir, and with the purpose of – like the Mageseeker – rectifying the portrayal of oppression of canon LoL lore, she’s the one that needs to be followed, not the stuffy idiot who treats emancipation like a fun surprise for a friend.

Left to right: Azir as an emperor, Azir after his indenture, Taliyah, Nasus, Xerath, Renekton, Akshan, Sivir, K’Sante and Samira.

The fact that Xerath looks like the Collector is a coincidence but one that’s filled with metaphor.

edit: I remade Sivir to fit with her new splash-art

edit again: I remade Nasus and Renekton with new designs I like better
