League of Legends Arcane cosplayer reinvents the Hextech wheel as Viktor Netflix: Arcane, Instagram: geheichouRiot Games\u2019 League of Legends-inspired Netflix show, Arcane, has taken over the latter half of 2021, and one cosplayer\u2019s rendition of LoL fans\u2019 beloved Viktor has stolen the Hextech spotlight. If there\u2019s one show that has become the talk of the gaming universe in 2021, it\u2019s Riot Games\u2019 League of Legends-inspired animated Netflix series, Arcane. With a cast of colorful characters and a musical score that you\u2019ll likely have saved on Spotify already, a whole host of cosplayers have already brought characters such as Jinx, Jayce, and Mel to life. However, we\u2019ve never seen anything quite like Gehe\u2019s work. The Spanish artist has brought LoL mid-lane champ turned Arcane heartthrob Viktor to life in a cosplay that has us looking like that little heart eyes emoji. Spectacular League of Legends Arcane Viktor cosplay Telling Dexerto that he has \u201cbeen playing League for over six years now,\u201d he was \u201cwas really excited when announced an animated series based on it!\u201d Selecting Viktor as his muse of choice as he was \u201cthe one most physically similar to [him]self,\u201d he confesses that, while the cosplay itself was \u201cnothing intricate really,\u201d he\u2019s \u201cnot used to having to do heavy makeup characterization for other cosplays since most characters from anime and video games don\u2019t have such detailed and realistic features. So, that was definitely a challenge.\u201d Taking a total of five hours to pull together the look and photoshoot, in comparison to \u201cother cosplay projects that have taken me over 5 months, it was an easy one!\u201d Despite all of this, this outfit truly takes out breath away. Sporting the Zaun scientist\u2019s messy brown hair and iconic silver waistcoat, it\u2019s the makeup that truly transforms Gehe into Viktor. Hooded eyes stare off into the distance, with the darkness contrasting perfectly against his pale skin and gaunt cheekbones. View this post on Instagram A huge part of creating these stunning images was capturing the moody, hopeless atmosphere of both Arcane as a whole, and Viktor\u2019s ongoing struggle with a life-threatening illness. \u201cIt was also important to set up the photo studio with fitting lighting to imitate the colors on Arcane,\u201d he told Dexerto. \u201cI used the lighting in specific angles to enhance my facial features and make them more similar to Viktor\u2019s.\u201d View this post on Instagram With the next chapter of the Arcane story lurking on the horizon, will we see Gehe reprise his Viktor cosplay? Or will we get something new? \u201cArcane has me very hyped to make more League cosplays for sure. But besides that, I\u2019m also a concept artist and character designer myself, so watching such a creative and rich series has given me a lot of inspiration to draw, and I can\u2019t wait for the next season to be out!\u201d Whether it\u2019s more League characters (Gehe has also created Ezreal, Yone, Aphelios and Gnar cosplays), or a creation of his own, we can\u2019t wait to see what this mad scientist turned artist extraordinaire does next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
