Many of you have probably already seen those fancy avatar presets in Reddit Avatar Styler. There are several that are kind of a fantasy punk (steampunk?) style. When I first saw them I thought they look interesting and was wondering where there were inspired from. There was nothing mentioning anythings there in the styler.

Recently I accidentally stumbled upon an animation series called simply "Arcane". Art looked fascinating so I checked it out and was captivated by it. If you have not watched it yet and you have the opportunity, I would greatly recommend you this series. It has wonderful arts, great animation, awesome music and sound effects, strong character developments, extensive world building, and intriguing plot. It is overall very inspirational but also a bit sad so be prepared. I like that it kind of reflects on our problems in our real world societies.

I did some quick research on its origin. Apparently it was based on a video game called LoL. I always thought LoL means "Laughing out Loud", but as it seems the game's name is "Legacy Of Legends" (LoL). It is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena like the game DotA 2 that OpenAI Five tackled with machine learning. I played games like this before, maybe not LoL itself.

So I watched it all (9 episodes) and did not notice that this franchise was the inspiration to those cute Snoo avatars. Right now I just wanted to add a mask to my avatar and equip it with powerful musical "weapon" and suddenly released those avatar presets represent these characters from this work of fiction... My mind was blown and now it all made sense.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this with all of you if you also have wondered what those avatar presets are based on. I do no want to promote anything really, but I would like to recommend the mentioned series if you are looking for some great animation to enjoy over the holidays with family and friends or alone.
My personal favorite character is ~~Powder~~ >!Jinx!<. Which one is yours? Feel free to comment on anything, but please do not include blunt spoilers or at least use the spoiler emphasizes: >!spoiler!< >!spoiler!<
