I am so excited about this contest!
The last one was 2 or 3 years ago, I think, and at that time I was just starting to create spheres in Maya...
So now I am a bit more experienced and doing 3D characters is my job and passion so I really want to give it a try!
Last time I wanted to create something for Lux, because she was my first champion, my first main and my first love
( btw I gave Riot a serious amount of money with all her skins... well deserved! ) anyway this time again, I chose her. I'm not quite sure yet about what I will do, I thought about a redesign because her standard skin really needs some love right now, or a championship skin.
I really hope you will enjoy my thread, I'll try to keep the news coming!

As you can see the actual model is quite old and I think it would be interesting to improve it to go along with the recents skins.
I think the colors, tones and feeling of the championship Ashe are noble and reflect the background of Lux being a light noble lady. Though I want to keep her childish attitude and not so serious spirit!
Here is a sketch I made, I am the kind of person that sticks around an early idea and go for it, so I didn't do a lot of research.
- I wanted to enhance the flow with a cloak, because cloaks are cool let's be honest.
- I also want her to have bigger spaulders with glowing effects so it is eye catching on her upper body.
- She'll have the same blue suit she already has.
- The weapon will be kinda similar to her actual one, just bigger and with shiny crystals.
- I'm still hesitating with the hair, but I like the braid, I'll see if it's readable in 3D.
- For the style I want to be closer to her recent skins, or closer to the Jinx kind of style (skinny/long, big eyes...
I think I'll go for this design, still not sure if it fits a "standard skin" or "championship skin".I'll surely tweak her hair and armor design because it is still rough of course, but the idea is here!
I hope you'll enjoy it !
yararstss : thank you! I totally forgot Captain MF, and yet I have the skin... :') but I don't play that much anymore
I am trying to find the time to do a clean concept, like Zeronis, in order to have a clean and good start. I'll try to have something to show this weekend.
Thanks again for your support guys and girls, it really is stimulating!
can't wait to see more.
I had some time to draw the front concept for my Lux visual update!
I think I'll push the concept a little bit more, it is still rough, but here is where I am and I think I can start with that. I'll do a quick back view in order to be sure it's coherent from the back!
What do you think ? Is she still Lux for you ? I do hope you like her!
Cheers!
It's me again, just a quick one to show you the back version of the concept.
It's even rougher than the front one, but I don't want to get exhausted just in the concept phase :')
I think I'm gonna start the 3D rough really soon!
This is the link of my work if you have time and look at it, i will be happy.

I started with the face in Zbrush, I let you see some WIP, it will change a lot obviously, anatomy is still not on point. But I think I like the proportions. I'm going for something "Disneyish" if I could say.
What do you guys think ?
I don't have enough time to allow for the contest aarrgh so frustrating! I wish I could do more but it will be a long journey till I finish her!
Quick edit because I made some retakes on the head on photoshop, I think it's better this way:
She seems less angry like this :')
Thanks everyone for your kind words
I am so confused about de face right now, and I am doing it all over again and again x)
But i had time to do the body and the hair.
I hope you'll enjoy it !
And here is a close-up to see the hair better :
I didn't have so much time to work on Lux recently, with christmas and chill time... But I still managed to start a rough armor and coloring in Zbrush !
I changed the armor a lot because the pieces of armor around her waist were kinda strange, it looked like she would have a bad time moving, running and demaciaing with that in the rift !
I changed the colors so it look more like a championship skin, something more "noble" with the purple and the not too saturated colors.
I hope you still enjoy her. I still have so much to do, I don't even know where to start :')
Thanks again everyone, and see ya
Slowly but surely (well huh... we'll see!) I continue to work on Lux !
Last time I finally decided it was a championship skin I wanted to represent, so I continue with the ornaments and gold and stuff !
There is a strong "world of warcraft" vibe in the design of the armor, but I kinda like it that way
Thanks all for your feedbacks !
