I'm proud to present the biggest project I've been involved with! This was the most collaborative illustration I have done so far!
Figuring out a composition with 5 very distinct characters was such a challenge! Mingchen and I jammed back and forth to pitch various thumbnails. Then, somewhere in the middle of the process, we got a big help for the poses from Gerald Parel and Riot Games. We shifted from night into a morning scene for better clarity of the champions. Rendering was super challenging since each layer had to be clean and each character complete. Mingchen tackled rendering Ekko and Tristana at first then I handled the rest of the characters and the background. 3D was used for Morgana's chains for speed and accuracy. I also had lots of help from Mingchen in bringing in those appealing brush strokes, color, value groupings, and overall final touching.
Really proud of what we have accomplished! Thanks again to West Studio and Riot Games for the opportunity!

► The price of splashes is under NDA but I recommend searching for Karla Ortiz's art rates to give you an idea of industry rates.
► 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 onwards:
• 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.
Is this my graduation gift? Oh and welcome back deiv, this is awesome!!
I'm waiting 😍
Time for me to grab my pen!!! Feeling inspired!❤thank you for this piece!
I admire how skillfully chiaroscuro is depicted on Malphite. He looks lively and still retains style. Excellent.
I just really wanted to thank you for uploading such vids and also adding some context below the video itself, such as ways to do greyscale and so on, for free. Thank you! :)
What a stunning work!! Congrats Deiv!!
Working with multiple characters in an image while trying to maintain an appealing look and readability must be incredibly difficult! It's really cool to separate the characters for rendering like at 36:08.
By the way, how do you do that? Is it a feature in Photoshop or just a separate file with the layers you had created?
Thanks a ton! Its just a separate PSD. You can duplicate layer or group in PS by right clicking it then duplicate and select new document.
I don’t get it. How do you add colours? Overlay blending mode layer? Adjustments - Hue/contrast? Something else? I am in the middle of finding and creating my method of creating illustrations and I am trying to you know do this part like this artist, do that part similarly to that artists, do the third thing in my own way or like something close to a third artist. I watched a lot of your videos on league of legends and still kinda miss it every time. So that’s why am asking 😅 I would appreciate it if you could share this knowledge with me 😅
OMG!! So happy to see a new video from you. I kept an eye out for your stuff and I got so excited when I saw that you will have another video out! Thank you!
youre alive!! lol! i love this piece but i wonder how big the speedpaint size video is. must be so big
Around 8gb.. 50+ hrs maybe... lots of painting were not included since mingchen painted ekko and tristana and final touches.
I've been learning to draw by watching your painting videos since 2021, and I've learned so much. It's rare to find someone who selflessly shares their process for working on top projects. You're truly my teacher! Please keep sharing!
i need this typa art style
Your workflow is so smooth it's insane. Clearly shows your amount of experience 👉👈🥺
I was wondering, why do you not use "Color" blend mode on a new layer on top of greyscale to color greyscale in? Why instead Multiply/Soft light? (Color doesnt change the values)
Because Color mode results in ugly, unnatural, metallic look. Try for yourself to understand it better. If you use color, the dark parts will be super saturated and the highlights will be desaturated.. its very unappealing.
Color mode is very hard to predict and control
Thx u for your arts and videos!!! You are beatifull !!!
I watch this pic everytime i enter the game bro, proud of you!
Whats resolution final? 🥺
Não acredito que você voltou😮😮🙉🙉🇧🇷🇧🇷
Welcome deiv
You’ve grown a lot, man. Keep it up! These are looking awesome.
Mad respect to all the artists behind all league of legends art💜💜💜

Im just curious how much does such an artwork actually take without the speedup
Nvm saw description thats crazy los of rendering
Happy to see your Art piece past 12 months - here's to more of these ❤❤❤❤
More to come! But not as often as before.
🫡😱😱🫡

I dont have splash specific tutorials yet but I can recommend the lineart to realism tutorial on my gumroad for now since its the same process.
Yeaa oohk , can I know in which company you got your 1st job and current salary just rough estimate don't tell exact amount, asking because it will really help me to grow and how to grow in this field because I'm really pationate about it also completed my 1st year in college with this course .@@deivcalviz
Why are you so cool?

Nah man this is too clean😍
Its been a while deiv, hope you doing well, thanks for this btw :D
Amazing as always, you are my biggest mentor, Deiv!
Hermoso 😍
❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are amazing! thank you for the video!
Although I had to abandon my dream of becoming a splash artist, you always inspired me when you shared your process. Keep doing it, and thank you for doing it
Aww sending lots of love!!💜
I always see this splash art everytime I open the game (I forgot to press that sign in check button lol). I love how dynimic it is that I didn't log in just so I can analyze it.
What blending mode do you use for the light source of the models, and the overall ambience of the scene? I'm trying to study ambience...
Usually linear dodge and color dodge to set the lighting.
oh it's so nice to see your beautiful artworks again!!
I love this so much Deiv, I want to see as many splash artist as I can
I love seeing uploads from u
Oh you made this 10/10 dude
Just want to clarify that this is a collab. I only did maybe 60%+. The rest was Mingchen, Gerald Parel, and Riot Games.
doing 60% hell just working on one of the most impressive and arguable most iconic league arts is still incredible dude@@deivcalviz
@@deivcalviz You, Marie Magny and Mingchen Shen are my favourite artists! Keep up the good work, every splash art you've made has been absolutely stunning!
Ansioso para ver esse processo 😂😂😂😂
Such good rendering
you are the GOAT
amazing!!!
Wow
❤
Omg I was just rewatching your old speed paints 🫶🏽 happy to see you upload again
Hope :3
