Space Groove Blitz & Crank (Blitzcrank) - Painting Process - Splash Art League of Legends

- Space Groove BlitzCrank! I've been super lucky to be part of this groovy skin line! This is the most fun character design I've seen from LoL! Figuring out the thumbnails was a bit tricky because of the need to balance out the two cats and the robot body and to be able to fit them in the game portrait crop while keeping the whole splash dynamic enough. Instead of doing the typical hyperspace, I tried for a more graphical background with light and fun colors while keeping the retro vibe.
When rendering, Riot sent me a screenshot of their 3D model matched on top of my sketch. This made it a lot easier to figure out the details. I went all out with masks when rendering this to the point that I had tons of layers without names. This helped make the image look clean and crisp. It was needed because I wouldn't be able to hide anything with shadow or dust with this type of scene. High key splash art like these are very rare for LoL so it was a very fun experience!
Thanks again to everyone at Riot and West Studio!
...or if you wanna donate to me so I can continue doing this. :)

► A splash takes 4-5 weeks. 1st week for multiple sketches. 2nd week to figure out the colors. 3rd to 5th week to render and polish.
► I paint with the canvas size 8,000 x 4,500 px but it is shrunk down to 7,000 x 3938 for final.
► This video is 40x speed up. Do the math based on this video's time. Usually, the real time is around 40-80+ hours. (if the other thumbnails were added in). Actual work hours are more than 100+ hrs when you factor in the other thumbnails, research, and contemplating time.
► The toolbar at the left side is called Lazy Nezumi. It helps me get smoother lines and have perspective guides.
► To quickly color a grayscale, I use two methods.
GRAYSCALE COLORING 1ST METHOD:
• Layer on top: The grayscale set to multiply. Brighten it up and colorize depending on the mood you want. This Acts as an AO pass.
• Layer below: Use a solid brush to paint in the flat local colors.
GRAYSCALE COLORING 2ND METHOD: (Messier)
• Layer on top: Set this layer to softlight and add in your colors. This makes it a bit look dull on the highlights so you need to manually fix the highlight colors.
• Layer below: Grayscale here.
► Tip for revisions. You can use liquify on multiple layers. Right after you do it on one layer. You can press Alt+Ctrl+F to apply it again to a different layer. Make sure not to deselect your selection if you are doing this.
► I use color dodge and sometimes linear dodge blending mode to add in lighting layers.
► I group layers using this logic:
1. Post processing
2. VFX, magic
3. Character
4. Some fog
5. Background people, elements, etc
6. Sky and far background
► Here are my tools:
2008-2020:
• Wacom Intuos 3 6″x8″
• Samsung T190
• Intel Core i7 3.50GHz, 16GB RAM, Windows 7
• Photoshop CS6, DAZ 3D, Alchemy
2021:
• XP Pen Artist 24 PRO
• Dell UltraSharp
• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core, 32 GB RAM, Windows 10
• Force Series Gen.4 PCIe MP600 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD (this is important for faster everything)
• Photoshop CC, Daz 3D, Zbrush, Maya
► To open a second window of your artwork in Photoshop it is located in Window - Arrange - New Window.
► To temporarily convert your artwork into grayscale. Go to View - Proof Setup - Custom - Select Dot Gain 20%. Then Press Ctrl + Y to toggle this view.
► I am not going to upload longer or shorter versions of this because that takes too much of my personal time. I'm already giving this away for FREE.

I want to thank you for your additional effort doing this. I know how intense the work on splash arts are and to record them takes some of your freedom away. So I am realy glad you show us your process and for me its so so helpful to improve my own splashs :) Additionaly I would like some versions with audio commentary, tips, shortcuts ect. Not for free of course ;)
Thanks! Yeah there are some limitations when recording this like i cant open up other images in my screen, the pc will slightly be slower, some crashes in between, etc.
Im planning to do a splash art tutorial but it will take a while because im still busy with other priorities. For now, these will do. 😁
All the splash arts you draw for lol are insane!

ME ENCANTAAAAAA
i have a ton of knowledge now about photoshop!............... yet i have to wait to grow up to get a drawing tablet xD btw riot will never regret hiring you to do this
I hope you get a tablet soon!
@@deivcalviz I will probably! Just trust God, is it okay if I ask some questions? Not a bunch but here it is! I really wanted to know what brushes you use to do highlights and shadows etc. I'm using your free brushes bout to buy the tutorials soon! I just wanted to know what is the name of the brush you use, and if your free can you tell me what are those brushes are for?
@@pheo1299 i’ll include a small guide to my free brush pack soon when i get the time!
당신은 너무나도 멋지게 잘그립니다.
Amazing as always, Im trying to figure out what you did between 3:58 to 4:15 lol How'd you bring the shading back to the image like that?
Using layers allows you to do that...
I have a tutorial for that specific technique artstn.co/m/o0MD
Thx for the nice video! These help me a lot during my painting process. But how did you open the second monochrome window in PS? I can't find it and it'd be really useful to use.
Frist Press: Window >Arrange>New window for "your filename"
Now that there are two windows.. press this: View>Proof setup >Custom>Dot gain 20%
One will be gray and one has color and both will update at the same time.
@@deivcalviz Thank you very much! :D
Awesome piece like always what can i say, btw i would like to know what layer mode do you use on the grayscale as i tryed to get it on 0.25 speed but i dont get to see it rigth, i would like to try that coloring method. Thnxxxx, this piece is fire
This may be late, but they say their colouring method at the bottom of the description! :D
@@Shwib yeye i know but i dont get it very clearly but thnx anyways😁
@@ivanxlx3919 I’m sorry I wish I could explain it but I also don’t get it 🥲
@@Shwib xd thnx it makes me feel less stupid
Very cool art!
What is the plug-in that you are using in photoshop? The menu bar on the left with all the icons?
Its called Lazy Nezumi to smoothen my lines a little bit. :)
@@deivcalviz ooohh, unfortunately I’m working on MacOS so it’s not available for me :(
amazaing!!!! what pluggin did you use for te arm machine
you did that splashart?! :0 It's fckin awesome!!
Hello again! So i want to ask what tablet you use xD
I use XP pen arrist pro 24 for this piece. For the splashes older than Kalista, i used wacom intuos 3. So that shows its not really about the tools too much. 😁
I have a Question, Why did you use those shapes at the minute 36:00 , I'm kinda confused lol
Marry me pls, you're a total inspiration 4 me. Greetings from Mexico!
How did you made that red tone shine up like that at 4:00, is it just a red coat with low opacity over the grayscale finnish ?
Its a curves layer with specular highlights painted as masks on top of the flat colors.
@@deivcalviz awesome. That was new to me 👍
Where can i find the greyscale small window that shows my work in black and white
View>Proof Setup>Custom>Device to Simulate>Dot Gain 20% Then press Ctrl+Y To switch it on and off.
The small window is just Window >Arrange>New window
idk if youll respond but why and how do you do the monochrome thing while your colouring?
View>Proof Setup>Custom>Device to Simulate>Dot Gain 20% Then press Ctrl+Y To switch it on and off.
@@deivcalviz tysm ur a life saver 💕💕
Hello sir,i have a question.If i want to be a professional illustrator working with game studios,should i be mainly using photoshop?.I've heard a lot of people saying that i should use photoshop as it is the industry standard.But what if i am experienced with other programs like CSP?
Hi Bang! CSP is also good. Any software is actually good! You should focus more on the output.
Some professionals even use procreate with ipad for work. It doesnt really matter so long as you are able to do the work in a high quality.
The reason people use photoshop more is simple because it was one of the first available painting software out there. Also, photoshop has cool editing features that some might not have but I think CSP is almost as good as PS so dont worry about it!
@@deivcalviz thanks for the detailed reply.Love your works
DO YOU HAVE SOME BOOKS TO INDICATE FOR WHO WANTS TO LEARN SPLASH ART?
I'm making a splash art tutorial within the year! Keep an eye out in the next months ...... XD
@@deivcalviz can't wait! uwu
@@deivcalviz please do real time ...
@@gamewt4204 Yes it will have real time. ;)
Does Riot give you a brief on what they want? Or do they say, your doing this skin have fun?
Yes to Both! They say have fun while figuring out this specific moment in the story. In this case, traveling through hyperspace. We are usually given 1-3 story ideas to sketch then they choose the best one for the champ.
@@deivcalviz nice thanks
How do you have the colored one and the greyscaled one ?
First Press: Window >Arrange>New window for "your filename"
Now that there are two windows.. press this: View>Proof setup >Custom>Dot gain 20%
One will be gray and one has color and both will update at the same time.
How long did you start learning to draw?
I took drawing seriously after college maybe 10yrs ago.
13:40 essa vai pro xracing
não é bem assim pada, essa ja foi pro xracing
Hehe
I kind wish this was canon Blitz Crank... ^///^
Can you get this kinda quality just using procreate on ipad?
Id say it is possible but not as crisp as this because of the layer limitations.
Thank you sir!
another tutorials please.. hehe thanks
how much time did u paint this?
Check the description at the last part
Is it usual to use 700 layers when making a splash art?
No, it is not usual. The usual is around 100-200 layers. The end product usually has less than 100 layers when things are merged. Other artists use far less layers.
I don't think the 700 number is accurate. Sometimes photoshop adds on the number of layers when I am mixing different PSDs together. Might be a bug or something. There was even a time when layer numbers jumped to 2000 which was strange.. XD
@@deivcalviz i was definitely shocked when i got to the end of the vid and saw so many layers lmao, good to know tho.
Very educational vid btw, keep up the good work, hope to see more of your splash arts in league!
@@rawenj7448 Thanks! Glad you like it! More videos soon! :)
Do you use a lot off references?
Yes! I use maybe 20-100 references for each splash art. I usually look at other splash art, material reference, anatomy photos, game or movie screenshots, comics, etc.
People should normalize using reference more and not think of it as "cheating". All the pros use lots of ref.
@@deivcalviz thanks for the reply
Incredible...
I'm a noob compared to this...
Heyy, so I'm an 11 year old artist who aspires to draw for Riot Games! I would also like to ask for advice with art since I'm still new to digital art, thanks in advance
Study a lot, anatomy, lighting, shapes, etc.

Congrats for being first! haha XD

An art school specialized in this can help.
