Diana League Of Legends - Blog Posts

One of my favorite character details about Irelia is the implication she has this specific brand of impoliteness where she sees someone she likes and she will unabashedly comment on them about it. like that one interaction where she basically calls Fiora pretty but then asks her why'd she changed her hair. Or how in this one Grace Kim concept art for Rise of the Sentinels she's blatantly staring at Diana's ass (or maybe tits) like bruh

It's so funny and gay but also rude. But it feels legitimate cause yeah the war vet who was orphaned at 12 (ie puberty) and has been fighting since likely is unfamiliar with the concept of being subtle or simply trying not to be obvious as to not offend people.

My contribution to Leodia Week this year: Crossover AU with Elden Ring 🌞 🌚

For people who know a little bit about ER it should be obvious who they are stand-ins for in the original lore haha. Anyways lore dump for this AU below the cut

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As an infant, Diana was found orphaned by the Knights of Leyndell, Royal Capital. They took her in among their ranks and, once she came of age, allowed her to train with the other initiates, hoping to mold her into a loyal servant of the Golden Order.

During that time she befriended Leona, a fellow knight initiate of mysterious origin with fiery red locks and an even fierier spirit in battle.

However, while Leona remained fully devout to the Erdtree's cause, over the years Diana saw her own faith in the Golden Order begin to waver, especially once she discovered their treatment of non-human races such as the Albinaurics and Misbegotten. She frequently challenged the will of her superiors, becoming a thorn in the side to the Royal Capital.

This tension reached breaking point when as a late teen, Diana was revealed to be an Empyrean, someone capable of forming a connection with an Outer God. And so, Diana's very existence became a threat to the reigning Goddess and the Greater Will. Knowing the schematics of the Golden Order and fearing for her life, Diana fled the Capital.

Leona was heartbroken, for as far as she knew, her friend disappeared overnight. In truth, Diana went on to Liurnia, where she discovered the Full Moon and eventually came to lead the Raya Lucaria Academy.

Years later, Leona, now a Champion of the Golden Order, was tasked to lead the golden host and conquer Leyndell's surrounding territories in the name of the Greater Will. Her aggressive campaign lead her to Liurnia and the front steps of the Raya Lucaria Academy.

She did not expect to see her old friend, now a fully fledged Queen of Caria, standing on the battlefield and single-handedly repelling the Leyndell army's assault, aided by the majesty of the night sky she conjured.

A bunch of black and white sketches of League ladies that I posted on Twitter

For Leodia Week Day 5: Reunion

Gonna share my entries for Leodia Week here :D

This one was a combination of Day 1's "Acolyte" prompt and Day 2's "Ascension" prompt.

Screaming at the walls of fire They're closing in on me I hunger for the vertigo, the silver moonlight It's where I wanna be

Screaming at the walls of fire But I'm still running free In the silver moonlight I can breathe

Leona and Diana from League of Legends, based on a frame from this animated short (check out the original for a bittersweet sun and moon romance).

Anyways I was nervous as hell while working on this because oh my god physical affection embarrassing, but I am so proud of myself for finishing it. This is a big landmark for me, both in terms of technique and being comfortable with drawing what makes me happy.
