No, this is an illustration! Concept art is designing. Riot does commission a lot of other people outside their studios for skins, and the going rate depends on the individual artist (usually 1-5k) and it’ll be done over a couple weeks with a thumbnail stage, etc. source: I’m a studying artist!
I'm an irelia main and this has been my wallpaper for so long, splash art has been a really beautiful aspect of the game and I'm so happy to find this keep it up!
@@nudgeone7927 look at her profile, her drawing is good enough, she will make it=). Also, if the illustrator in the video can draw like that then anyone could if they try
This is painful to watch. Because its just wayy to frickin good. I hope i can reach that level one day. And the fact that they haven't named the layers and still remember what is what is so dope
What gift man, my favorite skin from my favorite champion, always loved your work, been a fan of yours since that time you won the blizz contest with the white reaper. I'll watch this video more than once :D. Hope to be able to work with you guys at riot one day
I'm speechless. You're such an inspiration. After watching this I really want to get better at my coloring skills and push myself even further to reach all my goals! As I said you are one of my biggest inspirations and I'm so happy to finally find your account here❤
Not to downplay their work. Not at all, but when you have around the same talent and experience these people have it's actually pretty easy, and since this is a drawing it doesn't take a lot of time so one person is guaranteed to do it, animating is when things get complicated.
There is a process to this where a bunch of artists look at each others work and give critique, sometimes even painting swaps if someone is better at painting something specific than others, if you are interested Atey Ghailan is a former riot artist who also shows these time lapses with explanations of the process and how they operate on TH-cam. He now owns a art studio and still has riot as a client, basically a outsourcing studio for game art.
the farest i've gone with my art was ~50 layers ☠️✋ but oh my god for you to be working with more than 300 layers makes me realize how amazing people can be! Incredible art!!!
Number of layers has nothing to do with how good an artist is, it’s just them working in a way that makes them feel comfortable. There are some extremely talented artists who use one layer, and there are some who use 300. Using 50 doesn’t make you bad!
@@professoryeetus8955 oh ah i understand, im just really surprised at their number of layers and the way they manage and use them! You really motivated me! Thank you alot (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
I don't know how many times I watched this amazing speedart. At this point, this speedart video becomes my motivation fuel if I'm feeling down with my painting and also become my study point and actually learning from this nearly 1 hour speedart, it's so crazy. Thank you.
I accidentally stumbled upon this video while not being able to fall asleep at night. I watched the whole thing in utter fascination. It is absolutely unbelievable how much care and skill goes into creating something this beautiful. Watching this inspired me so much, and I hope that one day I'll become an artist who's capable of at least a fraction of what you can do. Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to watch your process, it's truly eye-opening and absolutely awe-inspiring. You are honestly my artistic idol from now on.
this is one of my favourite splash arts. there are 100s of champions, and loads of skins, imagine how much effort artists put into making the splash art of such high quality.
oh man, i'm just a budding artist but this is so mesmerizing, i thought you were almost done like 6 minutes in, but there's so much work that goes in fore the entire speedpaint... i hope i can draw like this in the future
This is utterly incredible. I cannot even begin to fathom how you accomplished this, I mean I'm literally watching how you did it and I'm still shocked and amazed!!
I always loved seeing the speed drawings of splash arts Riot posted. Always amazed. Even when some splash arts are more "lacking" than others (such as non action going on, tad of an empty space, nothing that bad rlly), they're still fucking gorgeous. Visual team always delivers.
It's amazing how quickly you nailed the anatomy and perspective. I've watched a few other splashskins now and in the first 30 minutes of the videos, a lot of other artists are often playing with the perspective and anatomy. I know it's not cheating to trace and use 3D models but you look like such a master (I mean because you are)
This is amazing, I think many people who are not connected with creativity do not understand how much work has been done. And you have a lot of patience, thank you for the video)))
i'm blown away! even if this is not the first time i see a " speed paint process" my brain simply cannot comprehend the skill level. and the (i bet) countless hours of studying & practicing.
This is a bit of an old video, but yesterday, I told my friends this was one of my favourite skins in the game, and I just came across this clip. You have so much talent. Thank you so much
I know that's not your first time here and probably won't be the last. So get yourself comfortable, drink water, get some snacks and enjoy this masterpiece one more time!

Absolutely agree with you! I Really miss art process vids...

post processing parts
rm to pause vid and use < > to see frame by frame as it goes by too fast
can use the mute/unmute button to make video to main screen again when you go do something else and dont want to press play/pause to return to video because 1 sec = alot of steps
48:26 no fx yet
48:30 adding fx
Colordodge, field blur
48:45 outer glow layer style
48:48 overlay push lights
& multiply to push envinoroment elements to be more dramatic contrast wise
48:55 noise for film grain & color balance to harmonize overall colors
48:57 making mask for blur, when drawing black will bring back the original paintings sharpness for areas he/she wants to bring back into focus
after this is just small back and forths = liquify, overlay ot change eye color slightly more blue, eyebrow slight paint over, etc
50:29 color pick nearby env where the body part he/she wants to push back is, and add atmosphere with low opacity soft round
50:30 color dodge get a glow effect had to use hue sat to adj the color to feel like it fit with the curretn glow around her
hard to tell what color it is when its so subtle towards the finished stage
50:33 adding rim light affecting outer hair strands to give purpose to the rim glows he added just before
50:38 gaussian blur the newly painted hairs to make it fit because already did post processing on the iamge before
50:40 turn of Red in RGB channel in layer style options to get that chromatic aberattion effect when slightly moving the image
50:40-56 is noodle heaven, very easy to just noodle at this point, everything looks great but sitting there for hours makes one very very sensitive to everything
50:56 adding noise to that outer glow from 50:30, it also in turn brings downthe opacity of the glow
50:59 overlay adding some more glow effects
51:02 outer glow layer style again
but this time to add sparkles
honestly the most annoying part about painting after doing post is that everything you paint again you gotta go and apply post to it afterwards
noise>blur> and maybe chromatic abb
51:36 chrom aberration to the top of the flowing scarf by using layer style again
51:45 color dodge on certain parts of dragon to push it a little more
but at this point its too small a change 99% of viewers will not notice, but such is the plight of art when sitting there for hours on end
THANK YOU
Great work thank you very much
amazing! thank you
Can u do this on more videos?
Thank you so much
0:30 - This is already the best picture I could have ever even dream of painting myself.
Amazing work.
Amazing right !
I thought they where almost done at 4:00 cause it looked so perfect, then realized this video is 50+ minutes💀
Even 0:30 is already great because of the dynamic pose!
3 minutes in out of 52 and it's already amazing WHAT
Ehehehehehhe that’s a Riot Games heavyweights artist
Im am insanely curious how much does it cost for riot to commission such detailed art. How do artists this profesional price themselves
I'm pretty sure the artists work at league, they aren't commissioned to do the work. Their salary (according to google) is an average of 95k
With similar level of expertise and details, I believe it would costs 2-3k

真的太厉害了，视频的前30分钟其实完成度已经很高了，中间一看进度还剩下不少，即便看过了原画依然想象不到下一步应该画在哪，但作者还是在不停的推敲打磨他脑海里的光影，把作品细化到了新的高度。这个MOBA游戏的光影和建模已经真的要配不上这些原画了，真心对这个行业的前辈感到敬佩，拳头他们后来出的皮肤的定价现在看来非常合理。
