Atey ghailan and esben is also share a free video when he worked in riot! I learned color alot from atey, perspective from esben and also i learned emotion from chengwei pan too! And it all free! U can checked them on youtube too
@@kocendesigndiary7960 his nickname is panda... i forgot the last word behind but he only have a speed video! I learned from him cuz i have some friends artist in china who join his class so i asked them to send me some video to learn
Oh my god- not only for putting this out for free, you're a godsend for keeping your entire workspace too in the vid. Some don't even include layers/tools. Thank you so much! Also- if you ever see this and have time to respond: Approximately, how many layers did you end up using, and is that amount is normal for a splash art piece?
Glad you appreciate it! I dont really have any secret to hide with my process. Lol In terms of layering i might have used up 500 layers+ or so because i also made 6 thumbnails(cant show this unfortunately), 4 color variations before doing the actual painting render. The final PSD contains around 80 layers i think. Other splash artist use maybe half or 1/3rd than my layers haha... i probably use the most!
Thanks! That was a bug... total sinultaneous layer count while working is usually only around 100 then i reduced it to around less than 50 when finalized. 😁
@@deivcalviz oh thanks! that is so weird for me cause i have never seen anyone do it that way, even now i still cant fully wrap my head on it. the way you handle layers and all digital tools are just so new for me. i understand masking but never tried it the way you use it.
Yes! Here is the ideal layer grouping that I always use. Even if I use lots of layers, thr logic and arrangement is always the same. 1. Post processing 2. VFX, magic 3. Character 4. Some fog 5. Background people, elements, etc 6. Sky and far background
@@erichenrique8624 been taking it seriously for 10yrs already since graduating college when i realized i wanted to paint instead of video editing work. :)
The amount of times you remade the composition, the amount of times you repainted everything, that really shows how dedicated you are to your art, throughout the whole video i was like, yo this is finished inst it? then i looked into the time, 40 min left and im like what could you add more. I love the fact that you spend alot of time in the details. I'm sure this was like a week long project. Bravo really good work
@@deivcalviz you go over the same paiting throughout the whole month, we dont really get to know that, and thats shame, j think people would aprecciate splasharts more of they knew how much time its spent on them. Keep up with the good work
As a person who enjoys playing Xerath a lot this skin is a breath of fresh air. I almost cried the moment I saw the splash and now I stumble upon the ENTIRE painting process on youtube. This is so mindblowing as an aspiring artist myself. Thank you very much for your awesome work!
I love the ones artist at riot that upload their work, really thank you, this Is a tone of work, surely the videos you have to record to make this speedpaints are insanely big
Yup they take up a lot of space! It is also time consuming to edit these because I need to review them before posting. I literally watch every second... haha Hope I can keep this up!
@@deivcalviz Hopefully because I love seeing your art but if it takes too much time I'm fine looking at your work. Also may I ask what's your song playlist I love it a lot.
This is now one of my favorite splash arts in the game, I've always valued high detail without disrupting the image and I think that's something I struggle to balance. The fact that you managed to perfectly do it in this piece makes me admire it and your work way more now. There's so much I want to learn from this piece, I'm working on three concepts/illustrations on this skinline for my portfolio, and this piece is legit #goals Thank you so much for sharing your process, I'll be studying this video as much as possible!
Thanks! Glad you like it! Balancing details is all about maintaining the proper value structures. Like how the silhouette of the character is darker than the bg, so long as the values are clamped, the details will not be distracting. :)
@@penono I believe he's masking as a way to separate different pieces that were all in a single layer, so that he can focus on rendering each one of them in detail alone
OMG so its u who painted this splash art. I thought it's a work of a new artist in the department cuz the style looks different XD. This is one of my favorite splashes from Riot Game. I know everyone said this already but THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting these painting time lapse. It's every inspiring and helpful to learn from a pro like you.
Honestly, what I want more than anything think is a tutorial on how they render materials as well as they do. Like, they can take them to such detailed polish and I would love to see a slowed down process focused on just that. This one has been helpful though, slowing it down I can see the general Idea I think.
@@deivcalviz oh! I thought lazy nezumi only had pen stabilization, I didn't know they had one for perspective too. I'll check it out, thanks so much!! :) Also I've noticed how you reply to most comments with such thoughtful and earnest replies, that's really nice of you! 😊 The arcana line is such a gorgeous series and this xerath splash is now one of my faves next to coven morgana and blood moon aatrox! Really beautiful work, looking forward to your next! :)
@@ren8854 yup! It was a new feature from them. Its a bit complicated to setup but its worth it. Yeah, i try to reply to everyone whenever I can. Hopefully I can continue doing this or my FAQ section will just get bigger.. haha Also super glad people like this skinline. Riot really did a great job with this idea.
Such an amazing job! I wish I could draw like this in the future. This is my the biggest dream. When I'm watching this I get very inspired to create! Thank you so much for sharing this
thank you for posting this art process. i feel like just by looking at the splash art from far away, people usually never notice the little details you add onto the piece. the small scratches on the metal, the stains, the engraved patterns, theres just so many things to appreciate about this piece. the time and effort you spent definitely did not go to waste one bit, it just looks amazing :)
When I first saw this artwork on their game I instantly fall in love with it,even tho I don't play Xerath. I loved the character splash art that you really did a good take and nice job on it :) keep it up
Man thank you so much for this, this is awesome! Question: are you self taught artist or have you gone to school to learn what you do? Any recommendations for some online tutorials (for price or free)? Thank you, league art spotlights is what got me first interested in art back in early 2010s so to see this is just awesome! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I studied multimedia arts in college but that was mostly about using 3D and compositing programs and basic photoshop. I am mostly self taught when it comes to digital painting. I learned from tutorials and videos from artists like Dave Rapoza, Dan Luvisi, Stjepan Sejic when I was starting out. I believe they have some free tips or videos available online. Start from those and if you have some money, get small tutorials or enroll in cheap courses at an online school like Schoolism, etc. There are many ways to learn! Good luck!
Thank you so much for releasing this, even though I’m not the best artist the splash arts I see in League have always inspired me(+ I wanna learn digital painting) so getting to see the process is always great
Congratz man! Such a beautiful Art, i have buyed this Skin exclusively for the amazing splashart, so happy that i found the video of you making it! Thank you so much!
If you look at the last part of the video, they change his face to be more shuriman. When I wqs drawing this, i was just copying a concept art which did not look shuriman.
I watch the video up to the point where the picture looks perfect, then look out of curiosity how long the video has been going and it's just a quarter long ... Respect for the fact that you manage to hold out so long to be able to present such an unbelievably great work in the end!
Thank you so much for listening to all the feedback for the extended length this time, that includes ALL of the final refinement stage, rarely have I found any tutorial or process that goes from start to finish, for whatever reason they always cut off the refinement stage which takes it to that next level and you DID NOT THANK YOU SO MUCH this is amazing, will forever continue to support!
Thanks for watching! I try to include as much as I can. This is slightly slower than the older ones and it is also 60fps so slowing it down will still show what I am doing somehow. :)
Deiv Calviz yeah I can totally see the difference, spent the better part of today and I slowed it down to .10 and can really see a lot of the smaller steps like towards the end when I saw you adding details after refinement I was like what the! How’re you gonna do this over all the value changes of the clean metal work you did underneath But then saw you used color dodge so it take the values of the clean refinement work underneath and then on top of that, thanks to the extra frames was able to see the layer styles you used to get that extra bevel edge so you get free detailed refinement work, really awesome techniques thanks so much for the extra effort on your part, really appreciate it Deiv!
Also noticed the changes made by the Riot team were much more minimal this time just the facial structure and overall darkening of the skin I guess they wanted to showcase the character as being darker local value skin tone and maybe the heritage with the way they did the nose and chin too Either way it’s always cool to see that your work was 99% unchanged and on such a complex and beautiful piece too, congratulations man!
@@improvementTime10.3.17 Thats great to know you picked up some techniques! :) Yeah, I was lucky Riot only modified minor things. They are very particular with the face. I think I've never gotten the face the way they wanted it to be. XD
The design of this makes me want to do something like this. You have inspired me to get back into sketching and I thank you for it. You 100% a legend and hope you can create more like this.
I mean yes chad move on this guy's part. But also am I the only one that just realized that wasn't battle wear on the pauldrons? Because now whenever I look at it I think of the ripped skinny jeans fad. Even if that's not what it is. Edit for clarity and grammar.
as a young amateur artist, this is so inspiring to me. just seeing that whole workflow makes me want to get my tablet and just do art. I really wish in a few years my paintings will be just a tiny bit as wonderful as yours are. your rendering and sketching process is just mindblowing!! I aspire to be somewhat on your level one day. you are a great inspiration to me, thank you for uploading your whole work process for free!! I love this so much (also excuse my english)
This kind of process is invaluable to someone trying to get into the industry. Thankyou, I'm learning/learnt a lot from this and other splash arts!! From posing to the actual render is awesome work to see it constructed!
Hello your work on this skin is amazing!! But can I just ask what tarot card this skin is inspired from? And what the process of doing this work with Riot? Did they advise you what Tarot card it is and you just made it? Thank you.
How did you get rid of the sketch lines so well? I’ve tried a painting style but I can’t seem to paint the edges with a value that gives an illusion of delicate linework. Beautiful art by the way, I love it! Sadly I don’t think I have as much stamina as you do so I can’t work on a piece this long. I aspire to create beautiful work like yours one day, though! :)
I'm so in love with your artwork, it shows alot: patience, passion, details, all of them are amazing! I learnt so much and get inspired from this. Thank you for upload process of your splash art!
Do you have a course or video where you can see in real time how you do a drawing process, I want to improve my level but in the video it is at a lot of speed and it is difficult for me to understand.
I got noticed through artstation. If you look at all my older works, i have been doing many other personal and commissioned splash art for random people. I think west studio loved my overwatch fanart the most!
this is a great work! do you by any chance know what type of art style(?) the background is? I've been trying to get a background for my wallpaper that looks something exactly like the background in this splash art.
Not sure if you're still active on this vid, but I had a question. Around 17:30 You have some different lighting options, then it jump cuts to a rough version with a lot of changes. Did you do those changes in collaboration with someone? or did someone do all those edits then send it back to you? Just curious how the workflow goes. Amazing art! Thanks for sharing the process
Sorry for commenting late😭I love this art so much. I’ve been talked about it with my friends since Arcana Xerath was released🥰🥺He makes my everyday🥺omg how adorable he is🤤I LOVE the way he’s details were depicted🤤What an adorable Shuriman young man🥵
My words really can't appreciate your hardwork, i mean even the music you choose is soo soothing and entertaining, specially in this one at the end, wow, how may i worship you??
what gear do you use for this? (pc specs and pen display ) ? Im looking to start working on Digital Art outside of my Ipad and would like to know what does the pro uses.
I used a basic Intuos 3 for my older splash art until Twisted Fate. Then switched to an XP Pen Artist 24 pro. My PC uses an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, 32gb ram, Nvidia GTX 1660, force mp600, windows 10
Just realized the architecture in the background is so fitting for the composition because those kinds of churches always had you look up to the sky, towards gods, as you walk around. In this one you’re looking up at Xerath as his presence sucks you in! Ahhh
Deiv, first of all, congratulations! Your work is incredibly amazing. I am passionated about art in general and splash arts like the ones you do are my dream job. I have a lot of conflicts about this, because I don't feel that I am good enough to follow this path and I’ve always faced the dilemma of "talent x hard work". So, I would like your sincere opinion on this. To get to a level like yours I know you need constant dedication and extreme effort, but, do you think that anyone who truly dedicate themselves can reach a level like yours? Or do you think that some people, even with maximum dedication, reach a limit and can not go any further?
A splash art video like this usually costs around $20 on Artstation and this man gave it away for free xD Give him a medal!
Glad you appreciate the effort!
I still plan to do more paid tutorials in the future though! For now, people can enjoy these. :)

I didn't know that it takes weeks to make these. I always rush my art, so i guess it's time for me to slow down a bit..
Here we go with another banger. I really appreciate these lengthy process videos
Glad you like it! Feel free to share with your friends 😁
Great work as always. Btw, how do you get rid of your lineart?
Amazing art works ! As a freelance artist, May I know how you get noticed by riot?
I got noticed through artstation. If you look at all my older works, i have been doing many other personal and commissioned splash art for random people. I think west studio loved my overwatch fanart the most!
Your Gwen splash art was still my fav lmao XD
What is the name of the song at 9:19?, couldn't find it in the description
amazing!! but im so frustrated he has no border.
Thanks! What border do you mean? This has a border design like the others.
@@deivcalviz i meant, loading screen borders 🥲
@@heyaaa3506 ahhh i get it!.. yeah it would have been nice. This theme was perfect for a nice border.
holy shit man, an hour and 30 minutes to sit through. this is really nice
U r a god in art i cant believe if i can become like you one day
I love you and all this! Thank you so so much
this is a great work! do you by any chance know what type of art style(?) the background is? I've been trying to get a background for my wallpaper that looks something exactly like the background in this splash art.
Its a bit inspired by art deco and also some rune circles.
Not sure if you're still active on this vid, but I had a question. Around 17:30 You have some different lighting options, then it jump cuts to a rough version with a lot of changes. Did you do those changes in collaboration with someone? or did someone do all those edits then send it back to you? Just curious how the workflow goes. Amazing art! Thanks for sharing the process
Yup! Exactly. Sometimes Riot wants something specific and they give us paint overs to speed things up.
Mi favorite splashart ! amazing!!!!!!
Sorry for commenting late😭I love this art so much. I’ve been talked about it with my friends since Arcana Xerath was released🥰🥺He makes my everyday🥺omg how adorable he is🤤I LOVE the way he’s details were depicted🤤What an adorable Shuriman young man🥵
i blinked and the initial lineart phase was over
Wish the best for you and your family sir....
Have a nice day sir...
Thanks a lot for sharing this sir.... ❣️❣️
xerath looks soooo handsome in your hand!
I instantly bought this skin because of the splash art....thank you YT for bringing me here :'))))
What is the canvas size you use? I alway have the struggle, even If I use 4k sizes, I think it's too small.. x-x
8,000 x 4,500 pixels baaically 16:9 ratio... could be smaller but i like that size.
My words really can't appreciate your hardwork, i mean even the music you choose is soo soothing and entertaining, specially in this one at the end, wow, how may i worship you??
Lol thanks so much for the support. :)
Do you have tutorials for making digital painting like this? And how much? I'm willing to pay i wanna learn.
Yup i recommend getting my Lineart to Hyperrralism tutorial! Check my linksnin the description.
U plan on doing commentary anytime??
Hi nice work. may i know your detail canvas size? because the detail not pixelated when you zoomin. thank you
Hi! Please read the FAQ in the description. Thanks!
what gear do you use for this? (pc specs and pen display ) ? Im looking to start working on Digital Art outside of my Ipad and would like to know what does the pro uses.
I used a basic Intuos 3 for my older splash art until Twisted Fate. Then switched to an XP Pen Artist 24 pro.
My PC uses an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, 32gb ram, Nvidia GTX 1660, force mp600, windows 10
Thank you so much for sharing this !
Just realized the architecture in the background is so fitting for the composition because those kinds of churches always had you look up to the sky, towards gods, as you walk around. In this one you’re looking up at Xerath as his presence sucks you in! Ahhh
Wow, not even putting monetisation in here??
I praise your artwork and run that goes.. Fasinating for me as a begginer in arts. Thank you :D
Thanks! Actually there are ads. I can make a few cents if you see any add here. :D
eboy xerath living in my mind rent free
Deiv, first of all, congratulations! Your work is incredibly amazing. I am passionated about art in general and splash arts like the ones you do are my dream job. I have a lot of conflicts about this, because I don't feel that I am good enough to follow this path and I’ve always faced the dilemma of "talent x hard work". So, I would like your sincere opinion on this. To get to a level like yours I know you need constant dedication and extreme effort, but, do you think that anyone who truly dedicate themselves can reach a level like yours? Or do you think that some people, even with maximum dedication, reach a limit and can not go any further?
i wish the nose was the same as in the game skin..
