A shot of Jinx from the final episode of Arcane: League of Legends. Note the extra colorful lines and sharp angles: while the show has a consistent art style, certain characters impact the visuals with their presence, and none more than Jinx. The coloring of each frame is also well thought out and meaningful: here, Jinx's signature light blue (the color of chaos in the show) is broken up with purple (the color of duty usually associated with Caitlyn), and she is surrounded by splotches of pink and green, which shows that she is feeling connected to Ekko (whose color is green) and her sister Vi (pink).
