    I think ultimately going for a darker, more grimy theme/palette really helped solidify the series and set it apart from the League franchise and its competitors (think the brighter, commercial colours of Overwatch, etc.)

      Well the Series started as something that would be directly connected to the Games, so the way it looked like back in 2015 very much made sense.
      They changed it to be its own seperate thing only like 3 years into the entire production.
      So what we are seeing in the Test Animation, is basically the visualization of their 1st Major Theme.

      @@raylosman815 There are other games in its niche, Blizzard actually has one of its own (Heroes of the Storm.) However, if you were to describe the gameplay of League to someone, they wouldn't really be able to place any of the other games. It is technically dishonest to call Overwatch a competitor to LoL - they're two entirely different types off game (OW is a first person shooter, League is a top down MOBA)

      That is... a depressingly accurate point. There is a small but extremely vocal minority of people (mostly men) who deeply dislike seeing media depict varied body types on women, ESPECIALLY in video games.
      They think it's a sign of... I don't know... societal corruption? Secret agendas?
      Honestly, I think they're just afraid of accepting that videogames are mainstream now, and their 2010s boys-only club doesn't exist anymore.

    I love how despite this being done very early in the production it still had the same beautiful style that we got in the final product.

    I love how from the start, they wanted to combine 3d and 2d together to make something amazing

    You can see every little bit of prototype in this for what they included and improved on for the show, the camera, the FX animation, the detail of expression, the painterly style, all finessed and perfected for the final product. Love Arcane to pieces ❤️

    Funny enough, since my uncle used to work on League of Legends, he knew about how this show was being made and teased me that there were projects in the works, but he was legally obligated to not say.

      @@DavidRamirez-lq2co I think you misunderstood. He never told me about anything. He just said they were working on some interesting new projects. He knew about this and probably worked on it, but he never told me any details or even revealed there was gonna be a show.
