This one was fun to do as I always work with colour palettes, but I usually limit the palette to at least 4-5 colours. I'm glad I'm able experiment with a wide palette this time!
hi! idk if youre still doing the character ask thingy but 12 and 15 for amy/viola if youre cool with it!
12: I’ve got a couple headcanons to share!
Between Soulcaliburs II and III, Amy and Raphael switched the main colors of their outfits: Amy went from wearing green to wearing purple, and Raph went from wearing purple to wearing green. So I like to think this was a result of their fashion senses rubbing off on one another.
Also on the subject of color: Viola and Ivy have the same purplish-silver hair. In Ivy’s case, that’s generally assumed to have been inherited from Cervantes, but my theory is that it’s actually a result of using alchemy, and that Viola’s orb is therefore alchemical in the same way as Ivy’s sword. That would explain why they both wear metal claws on one hand—that’s probably a way to safely handle alchemical materials.
And here’s a bonus headcanon that has more to do with Raph than Amy. We know from Talim’s Soul Chronicle that vampiric monsters are a thing in the Soulcalibur universe, and if you believe the Tekken / Soulcalibur shared universe theory, Eliza proves the existence of traditional vampires. So my theory is that one of Ralph’s ancestors was a vampire, and Souledge activated his latent vampire genes or whatever, which is why his Malfestation is so different from most.
15: I don’t really have any ships for Amy, but once she’s Viola, I ship her with Z.W.E.I.. We don’t see much of their dynamic, but I like the idea of two outcasts who rely on each other when the whole world seems to be against them.
Umm this is something 🤣. I tried the slider on the far right of the editer and it made it see through idk if that's coming through here though, it's supposed to look like her orb 😅.
i have to know what your thoughts are on the "amy isnt viola"/"viola is amys sister"/"viola is amys clone"/etc theories. i thought they would have died out by now but there are still people clinging to those theories for dear life
To be honest, I was late to the party on those. That's usually the kind of stuff I have to dig for. I want to say I've read one person bring up the "Amy isn't Viola" theory in a tweet thread from as late as 2019, but... uh, too bad about searching Twitter without an account anymore. I'm not even sure I'm remembering the year on the timestamp correctly.
Anyway, every time I've found fanart or fics that run with any of those theories, they just make me think Yep, that's dated. And typically, they are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Amy from the Soul Calibur series just some times after she woke up with white hair, amnesia and with her mysterious magical orb. I tried to give her Amy's younger traits while she also cut her naturally uncurled hair and wears some other clothes. So she is now a young Viola wondering who she is while being completely lost. But she hopes that tonight the stars will shine and help her.
wrote down wich tekken character has a possible soul calibur counterpart, funnily enough i cant find a character really that represents a mishima but maybe im missing out on details?
some are a "guess" also, im sometimes not 100% sure this is why there is a question mark, its just for fun, u can correct me if i you wanna
anna - ivy (valeria also fits)
any of the mishimas could be mitsurugi but im not sure
kunimitsu - taki
lee - raphael
michelle/julia - seong mi-na
nina - setsuka
yoshimitsu (well he has been around in sc too so)
alex - lizardman
angel - elysium
jun - sophitia
hwoarang - hwang
mokujin - olcadan
xiaoyu - xianghua
asuka - cassandra
dragunov - voldo (?)
raven - zasalamel (?)
alisa - pyrrha/pyrrha Ω
lars - patroklos. siegfried or grøh i cant decide
miguel - cervantes(?)
zafina - viola
claudio - maxi
josie - talim
kunimitsu II - natsu
lidia - hilde
lucky chloe - dampierre (?) lmao i could see lynette fit here too ngl as oddly specific as that sounds
i feel like no matter how many times i look at the relationships charts, i will always find something new or my attention will always shift to something that it never did before
first of all, i love the worldbuilding that established the medicis and cervantes as business partners and pits them against vercci LOL
this whole interaction is never expanded upon anywhere, not even in the artbook. we have absolutely no idea who the "mysterious supporter" or who the "unidentified servant" are
and lastly, i have to wonder if them listing viola as having made patroklos her pawn is a remenant of the scrapped story they didnt actually tell us. i can only assume that she maybe wanted to use pat to get close to dumas once she started to suspect that he had something to do with her past but like other than that, i have no idea what this is in reference to

Soulcalibur V is a 3D historical-fantasy weapon-based fighting game developed by Project Soul and published by Namco Bandai for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on January 31, 2012. The sixth main entry in the Soul series, Soulcalibur V takes place seventeen years after the events of Soulcalibur IV and features the children of prominent series heroine Sophitia Alexandra as the main protagonists (Patroklos and Pyrrha). Along with descendants and students of some of the retired fighters from the series (such as Taki's protege Natsu and Xianghua's daughter Leixia), the game introduces new fighters (including fortune teller Viola and mysterious werewolf Z.W.E.I.). Like most of the previous games in the series, Soulcalibur V includes a non-canonical guest fighter. For this entry, the guest is Ezio Auditore da Firenze from the Assassin's Creed series. Players can also unlock the moveset of Devil Jin from the Tekken series for use in the character creation system.
