i like arctic.
but no, he was not a good person. no, he was not justified. i like him because he's a well written, complex character.
because believe it or not there's a line between liking a character for how they're written and liking a character to justify their actions.
liking a problematic character doesn't make you an asshole or ignorant of their obvious flaws.

Also I totally agree with you. I think Tui wrote him extremely well. I really like Darkstalker because he was so complex. I don't think he himself was evil, he just was totally ignorant of his soul. Arctic was definitely a bitch but I would've loved to see more of him, just because it was fun to read about him. Also do you take commissions for this style? Or an art trade? Here's a couple examples of my latest wips >x<
What I find interesting is that a lot of artists will add a disclaimer in their Arctic pieces saying 'I like him but he was bad, etc etc"
But do people do this with Darkstalker? Nooooooot very often. Which is pretty silly if you ask me, since Darkstalker was a much worse person then Arctic, and yet it's more acceptable to like Darkie. *shrug*
(I did kinda like arctic tbh)
same thing with Albatross. I don't like him for his actions, I love him for his complex character background.
This is a really cool picture (no pun intended XD)
