After months of disappearance, I present to you another WIP featuring

Connor Kenway aka Ratonhnhaké:ton

Damn can't believe it's been 13 years since I first laid my eyes upon this man....and I'm STILL head over heels for him..... I remember preaching bout him in elementary like he was my grandfather or sumn-

Back to my assignments I go........ I have so much art wips.....

Got back into the Assassins Creed building again and so I decided to draw my favorite assassin within the franchise

[magniferaindicat]

“Connor is the worst assassin” Connor is the truest assassin, who fought and nearly died for people who he wanted to protect and also who couldn’t fight for their freedom. And in the end he returned to his village gone. The people he fought for, his home, taken away by people he trusted.

I mean sure he had the homestead and the assassins but he would not have left his village if he didn’t know their safety was at risk, and he lost them anyway. Say what you will of him but he is a good man who continued to fight even after losing everyone he cared for—his mother, his mentor, his best friend, his father. He may not show it easily and has a brutal combat style, but he is loving, kind, and gentle. He only wants what is best— he does what is right, no more, no less. I love you Ratonhnhaké:ton ☹️ I love you so much it hurts.

The Price of Liberty quick(ish) idea sketch

Blood from people who sought freedom, but died in battle, so now Ratonhnaké:ton carries them on his back, their blood trailed down slowly forming a shape like wings.

The concept looked epic in my head... Also was supposed to be a quick practice since I rarely draw backs and side views-

If William Miles has 100,000 haters I'm one of them. If he has 1 hater, it's me. If he has no haters then I'm dead.

Genuinely, this man pisses me off to no end. The way he treats desmond, like he's no more than a tool to be used, is grating. And he repeatedly goes on about Desmond's genetic lineage as if he's some sort of show pony.

Let's talk about how Mr. Billiam Wiles over here should have the same ability to activate the eye because he, too, is related to Altair and Ezio and Ratonhnhaké:ton.

It wouldn't surprise me if William and Desmonds mom weren't even in love (because honestly who could love William for his personality) and were just together for genetics purposes like some sort of fucked up dog breeding program.

Also being reduced down to who you're related to is something I relate to but not in the same way and seeing other people being compared to their relatives, no matter who they are, pisses me off to no end because excuse me that is a grown ass man with his own thoughts and personhood.

But anyway that's my William miles hate train for today. Brought to you by my replay of AC3

That Time When AC3 Flipped Indigenous Portrayal

I always liked that AC III flipped familiar tropes about Native Americans in media, particularly regarding the language barrier and cultural awareness. Ziio mocks Haytham for assuming she can’t speak English, subverting the usual narrative where the comedic effect of not knowing the 'language of the land' is on the indigenous.

It is also Haytham - not Ziio - who causes the bar commotion despite his rather arrogant and baseless assumption that her culture would make her more prone to violence despite only being in the country for roughly a couple days. This also highlights that she understands the land and its people far better than he does.

Redcoat: "Oi, where you goin’, cully?" Redcoat: "No. The other cock robin." Haytham: "Well, I uh… I WAS leaving." Redcoat: "Oh? And now?" Haytham: "Well, now… I’m going to feed you your teeth." Kaniehtí:io: "And you were worried I was going to be the problem."

This also extends to Connor, as he regularly defies expectations by displaying more morality and virtue than many of his colonial counterparts. He criticizes the manipulative nature of the media for countering lies with more lies.

Sequence 5: Stop the Presses (Transcript)

Samuel Adams: "So now you've had a chance to see how it all works. Untoward actions will upset the citizens and inevitably lead to the guards being called. Depending on the severity of your transgression, they may simply search a bit before giving up and returning to their posts. But should you offend them severely or repeatedly – they'll become much more aggressive in their pursuit. I've shown you three ways to turn the tide. Remove wanted posters, bribe town criers, or visit a printer to create your own propaganda." Connor: "This feels wrong. Why not just speak to someone and explain my innocence?" Adams: "You can't be serious?" Connor: "We counter one lie with another. Words on paper instantly taken as truth. And all of it without question."

Calls him out on his hypocrisy in fighting for freedom while owning slaves.

Sequence 6: On Johnson's Trail (Transcript)

Samuel Adams: "Of course. I'm headed to a meeting with some men who should be able to help. Why don't you come along? It's good to see the people finally taking a stand against injustice..." Connor: "Says the man who owns a slave." Samuel Adams: "Who, Surry? I practice what I preach, my friend. She's not a slave, but a freed woman... At least on paper. Men's minds are not so easily turned. It is a tragedy that for all our progress, still we cling to such barbarism." Connor: "Then speak out against it." Samuel Adams: "We must focus first on defending our rights. When this is done, we'll have the luxury of addressing these other matters." Connor: "You speak as though your condition is equal to that of the slaves. It is not." Samuel Adams: "Tell that to my neighbor—who was compelled to quarter British troops. Or to my friend who's store was closed because he displeased the Crown. The people here are no freer than Surry." Connor: "You offer excuses instead of solutions. All people should be equal and not in turns."

And even stops Israel Putnam from kicking a dead enemy’s body - emphasizing that even someone as ruthless as Hickey was still a man.

Sequence 8: Public Execution (Transcript)

Israel Putnam: "At ease, men! At ease! I said lower your goddamn guns! This man's a hero! The General can be so stubborn sometimes. Piffle, he said, when we warned him something like this would happen! Piffle!" *Israel Putnam kicked Thomas' body* Connor: "Stop." Israel Putnam: "He wanted to kill the Commander. Nearly killed you as well. He was a scoundrel." Connor: "But still a man." Israel Putnam: "Hmph. You're nothing, if not consistent."

Assassin’s Creed III challenged the traditional portrayal of Indigenous people as either savages or passive victims, instead presenting them as individuals with intelligence, morality, and deep cultural awareness. The narrative highlights their ability to navigate complex social and political landscapes while exposing the hypocrisy and shortcomings of colonial figures. Rather than being depicted as primitive or completely naive, characters like Ziio and Connor demonstrate a greater understanding of their environment and the moral contradictions of their time. The game doesn’t just critique the British - it questions the American revolutionaries, revealing how their rhetoric of freedom often excluded those who did not fit within their social order.

Through Ziio and Connor, AC3 asserts that Indigenous people were not merely bystanders in history but active participants who approached their world with wisdom and integrity.
