I had been playing around with the au concept of Piltoven Powder/Jinx, and most commonly is that Viktor is the one to find her. But while playing with this set up, a surprise meeting came in the form of Sky who I think would be an excellent mother figure to a very troubled Powder after the botched rescue.
My headcanon is that since Viktor would take pity for Powder as a fellow Zaunite he'd still need a hand in trying to manage this child who has been through a lot. Sky being half a Piltoven half Zaunite orphan who was aged out of the system would understand a great deal about kids and their various troubles. Particularly after suffering the loss of family or abandonment issues.
Viktor would give Powder encouragement to improve her skills to do great things. However the pressure to do great might get to her head and make her overwhelmed. But Sky's emotional support could help a lot in regards to feeling like someone actually believes in her and isn't a screw up.... Or in this case a Jinx.
Powder, you are about to learn something very interesting (when she sees silco in person she will deny that he could ever look so cute)

The #sugarisnotacondiment AU is pretty much a modern one and I was like... The chances that Powder is just nickname are very high, so I came up with the idea that Felicia and Connol wanted to name their kid after his grandma, or something. π€£βοΈ
It happen I have a base for a matryoshka doll, so I decided to turn it into Jinx/Powder doll, similar to the arts I drawn.
I made some design for it (it has more layers then the art), I'll be posting the process of work here.
I was thinking about how Act 1 Powder was a similar age to Vi in the opening scene, and from Act 2 onward Jinx was a similar age to Act 1, maybe only a little older
It would be wrong to financially support competition when all you need is a distraction to drink for free.
oh Vi you are so much stronger than me β¦ βΉοΈπ
THIS IS FOR YOU, VI LOVERS!!! π«Ά
Shoutout to Arcane editors for fuelling me for so long
Hear ye hear ye... zaun Viktor!
I saw this post by @misforvendetta , which inspired me to work on something I already had in mind. This of course is a personal interpretation, I like every zaun Viktor designs I come across. This was so fun to draw, I might do more in the future.
The general concept is that he works at Benzo's shop and finds Jayce there, who is trying to buy cheaper products for his research. Hence why his crutch and brace stay the same, Jayce still builds them for him. I am well aware he used a cane when Powder was still a child, I just added her later bc I thought it was cute (she deserves a cool uncle she can make inventions with) and didn't have enough energy to fix the whole thing, my hand was hurting like a bitch.
Here are two close ups:
