ORIGINAL POST:

Hello everyone,

I am Antoine Dupuis, currently 3D game art student at ESIAJ (Belgium). I have been playing LoL for some years now, and I love hand-painted textures in games.
This is a great opportunity to challenge myself and improve my skills in this style. At the time I am posting this, I have already seen a lot of stunning concepts/props from other artists, this contest is gonna be tons of eye candy in the end.

Here is the first concept I worked on, after doodling for some time on a sheet of paper, for an inhibitor. I tried to keep the color scheme of the actual inhibitor while doing the shape and Idea I wanted to.

I am looking forward to any critique, tips and suggestions to improve what I do.

Ooouh, good start! *_*
Can't wait to see your future updates!

Perzik

Niiice !!

Bonne chance, voisin Belge

Thanks guys. (°L°)

Alright, I wanted to block the basic shapes in Maya for the inhibitor before starting concepting the Creep Den.

I will use this as a basis for the sculpting phase.

GravityBwlast

Hi guys.

I managed to find some time to continue working on my entry.
I did a few rough concepts for the creep den:

I don't know yet which one I prefer, I'll think about it and try to improve it in terms of shapes and placement.

Don't hesitate to criticize and tell me which one you think is the best.

Sirhaian

The third! Looks more natural than the others.
I really love the feel the third one gives. Yeah, more natural, that's the only word that comes to my mind.
A mix between the third and the first one would be really awesome, though. Maybe add some trees/leaves and some nice mushrooms to the third.

GravityBwlast

Thanks Sirhaian
I have an idea at the moment, in combining parts I like in concept 3 and 4 mainly.
Will surely post it tomorrow if I get it the way I want.

Here is what I get as a "final" concept for the creep den:

I'm still eager to get criticism or suggestions to improve the idea. :x

Looking good, i think three is the strongest out of them at the moment. However your other ideas have some nice height variation going on... Especially number 2. But might be worthwhile tring to incorporate that somehow? Not sure maybe like a totem or something? Might be a bit distracting though?

GravityBwlast

Thanks Sharvo.

Well, I will be sculpting while keeping in mind of showing these height variations !

Hey guys, I did some doodling and even more rough colored concept I had in mind for the creep den.

Perspective is messed up and some angles seem they were made on drugs. (they were not !) but I'm just throwing ideas, I don't have time for clean concepts.


I personnally really like IX and XIII and I prefer the red-buff-side colors.

Tell me what you guys think !

Bhelir

So nice, can't wait to see your work!

Btw, the "rock wall" from the XI look nice in my opinion and don't hesitate to add more mossy.

Give us more update!

GravityBwlast

Hi guys !

I had few spare time today to work on my entry, and I mixed the ideas I prefered in those last concepts for the den, and mixed them into my final thing.

Here it is:

Again, don't hesitate to comment and give criticism.
I will go with sculpting, starting with the inhibitor as soon as I get some spare time.

looks awesome, quite jelly

GravityBwlast

Thanks, r4ptur3, your words mean a lot to me !

Sirhaian

Owaaaa! You nailed it! Awesome work! *^*

GravityBwlast

Thanks !
I feel like I should have worked the inhibitor concept a bit further so it's the same quality as this one, but I am already short on time, so I will just go 3D now !
