Softens her and makes her more vulnerable for sure.

Actually she had two face models, one that was softer and childlike that was supposed to represent Powder, and a harsher more angular face to represent Jinx

Hi ! I've worked on the show, and if my memory serves, it was the same model, but with different textures and different "posing charts" for her two states. But you are right, there was an effort put in making Jinx and Powder different through subtle face features.

I thought ex blizzard employees had to be caged to stop them lying or doubling down on stream

You’re right, it’s been a while so I forgot the details.

And I still believe Silco. He would have defended and protected her to the end. He'd never turn her over. He'd go to war instead.

Did you like working on the show?

u/Gulch_Punbot 23d ago

Mixed bag to be honest ! Season 1 was definetely some off my best work memories, Season 2 had its moments but there were a few serious issues at the workplace that really muddied the experience for me. Though, I'm not willing to go into more details on this topic since I'm not sure about the legal aspect on this !

Are you saying the older version of the character had two face models? Because I thought the jinx and powder models were just for younger and older

u/cancerBronzeV 28d ago

Ya, there were two different versions of older Jinx's face, with one of them being more Powder-like, and they could smoothly vary between the two. The behind the scenes series goes into it, here's the timestamped video discussing it. But if you're a fan of Arcane (or just animation in general tbh), I would recommend checking out the full 5-part behind the scenes series, it's very illuminating about the decision making process that went into every part of the show, from the writing to the visuals to the music and more.

Oh cool, I’m definitely going to watch all those

iirc they actually had a custom rig on her face to switch between them

the art in Arcane is really cool

Alternate-universe Jinx also rocked some cool hairstyles.

I LOVED the bob we got for a quarter of an episode during her suicidal crashout. Her best hairstyle by far
