  • Hey everyone, super excited to share how i went about to create the splash for Qiyana the newest champion in league of legends.
    As always i could not have made it without the incredible Qiyana pod and splash team who supported me and gave me feedback along the way,
    Are you excited to try her out? let me know in the comments below!

    • @gareths
      @gareths 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      @Diego CJ Nah that's way too many if you're not merging them part way through, he's only at 400+ because photoshop looks at the last layer named "Layer #" and just adds 1 to the number, so when he last merged it just took the name of a layer in the 400's

    • @flafcodes
      @flafcodes 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      He doesn't use the 400+ layers simultaneously, its just a technique to avoid an infinity of ctrl + Z
      Instead of undo, you create a new layer, do your microchanges then merge it. And sometimes there are "inceptions": a change within a change, or a change within a change within a change.

    1:40 concept is so wonderful.. actually all 5 of those thumbs just after are staggering. I hope they utilize some further refined versions in tandem with future lore reveals around qiyana and her background
    Top right and middle left would have had so much community support on its release I think, compared to the lukewarm to negative reception "she looks like a smite charavter"

      it's true, but the essence of Qiyana is just the cockiness and the sassiness of her and i think the pose he settled for in the end captures that perfectly, she's holding the blade so lightly while she gives smirk and a sassy pose to the camera because she just doesn't give a fuck. i loooooove it.

    Qiyana is my favorite champion! Seeing how her splash art was made got me to realize how much an image can portray the character with their body language alone. But every part of the splash art is all Qiyana! Her nonchalant attitude with the explosion behind her, the hand on her hips and the gorgeous shine of her crown just screams greatness and power!

    So you’re the man behind my favorite splash art of all time! I love all of the details in her splash, the focus being on her and each element on her ohmlat. It’s a simple pose, but it really does capture her essence better than an action pose. The way she lightly holds her weapon, the hand in her hip, the glare. It all says that conquering is easy for her. She is confident, like she feels she is destined to rule the world, and it is your duty to bow to her. Such an amazing drawing, so glad you shared your process!!!

I\m still really new at drawing and painting (still grasping a lot of fundamentals like key values, proportions, anatomy, perspective etc) and a lot of the time when i render stuff with brushes it ends up looking muddy, I'd be really interested in seeing how you render smaller details like eyes, nose, etc. I'd really love to become as good as you years from now
