Clockwork Valentine
It's Orianna from League of Legends [link]
entry for Taiwan's LOL Valentine's Day contest.
I know it doesn't look like neither Orianna nor Valentine's Day. The first time I saw this contest I know I can't do it right, I never celebrate Valentine's Day, so I thought it will be fun to draw something for those who don't celebrate the day too.
Peoples in Taiwan says: "vehicle is man's concubine and valentine." that's the basic idea of this picture, I still remember first time I travel alone with my motorcycle when I was younger, it's a summer day, but an unexpected heavily rainstrom came, I'm all wet and cold in the mountain, only thing to accompany me is my bike and its warm engine. There is a very simple relationship between human and their own subject, you paid your love for company and they response, Orianna is a puppet to mimic human behavior, it's not alive inside, The sentence I put in the picture is her typical setting response "I wish I could be XXX, I will be a good XXX" from her League Judgement. I think We can just say: "this is my Ori, there are many like it, but this one is mine." only thing to make this relation unique is your love, nothing more, nothing less.
Of course I didn't get any prize in the contest XD
but I got what I want most: I paid my love in this picture, not a good pic, but it's fun to do something like this.
