twenty something, any pronoun, spoilers for all xenoblade games + dlc

Xb2 definitive edition where they give malos 3 outfits: 1. Ttgc era full power indol-type war outfit 2. Post ttgc hiding as a human outfit (canon outfit) 3. Post chapter 7 merge of the two prior outfits (jin chest plate thing is non-optional)

so i played “hades” for the first time recently (10/10 game, one of the best) and saw a lot of similarities between two of the characters and jinmalos, and i’ve been breaking out of my recent art block, soooo here’s malos and jin as zagreus and thanatos respectively

malos as zagreus from “hades,” standing like zagreus does in text boxes. he is wearing a tunic that exposes half of his chest and his core; a skull belt; two arm bands on each arm; and a olive laurel. he has one leg partially raised, as if he is ready to start moving at any moment. there are three larger skulls sitting on his left shoulder; from left to right, they resemble the heads of his gargoyle, his blade sever, and ophion. the background is three overlapping ovals, with the purple coloring darkening as they intersectjin as thanatos from “hades,” standing like thanatos does in text boxes. he is wearing a hooded one-shoulder tunic/cloak; a neck brace of sorts (similar to ones worn in ancient egypt); three wings on his right shoulder; and a draped cloak hanging from his arms. he wields a scythe that is behind him and held in his right arm, and jin’s canonical xb2 blade is at his left side. the background is the same as malos’ but inverted.
