As far as the Rengar rig goes, it wasn't officially released but ripped by someone so I wouldn't use it. The rules state the model/rig doesn't matter so don't get hung up on using in-game models.
It´s just that I am close to done with the animation and I don´t whan´t to start over just because they change the rules in the middle of the contest :P
I am done with my ulti attack witch I used Rengar for. But the cycle will be with another character ( not a game model :P ).
Hope it wont be any problems. If I have the time I will enter with a whole new set of ulti and cycle, but I hope my first entry wont be disqualified.
Would be nice to hear something from Riot games just to be sure.
My goal is it to create a SiFi skin for Miss Fortune. Most of my work for this contest is free style in case of time, regular work bla bla....
Luckily i recognized during my working prozess that MF's red hair i made is similar to Samus Aran her Red helmet. So i played around... put her green sunglasses on, put two bubbles on her shoulder and she got the shape of Samus Aran. A look a like feeling.
I know that we are not allowed to use pre existing concepts in case of teamwork.
In my case i dont use a pre existing concept. I appriciate that my work is original. Comming from my head done by my self. But i like this Metroid Suite similarity and i think its something cool for MF. She will still has her two handguns and not a blaster arm at the end. I only want to archiv this "she reminds me to Samus Aran" effect, like the first Olaf skin did this with the Teckno Viking. Or Ziggs as Witchdoctor. Thats also a pre existing concept with the goal to archiv a look a like feeling.
First of all, can I make some compositing stuff? Colour correction for example.
Another thing I was thinking is about presentation specific skill. For example I want to do Ziggs ult and for me I should add little hand which will throw a bomb. Or if i want to make Graves ult, should I make his gun?

So does this mean we can base our animations off of a champion that already exist but we are free to do what ever we please? We can pretty much come up with our own champion and animate their own unique walk/run and unique attack/ability?
Hello,
I have a question on character guidelines. If we make a 2 part character set, for instance Annie and Tibbers, do they both need to occupy one texture sheet or can they each have a unique texture sheet?
Thanks!
Hi I have a question regarding what Riot is looking for. I'm going to make a character piece.
Questions:
-Are they looking for a piece they might actually use? Do they want the artstyle to be as close to the League of Legends artwork as possible or do they actually like it if you have a different take on a character more?
Thanks
We are looking for assets that fit the general art direction of LoL. We are not going to use the asset but we are judging the asset fitting the overall style.
Hello, I have two questions about contest rules.
1 I'm entering environment category of the contest. I have concept for turret, and inhibitor already. New rules are I have to create Turret OR Inhibitor, AND a Creep Den ? Is it possible to make Turret and Inhibitor, and ignore jungle camp? If i make three models, one will be ignored ?
You can create all 3 if you like and we will evaluate the creep and the best of your 2 other assets.
2 My friend wants to enter animation category. I know that work should be individual, groups are not allowed. Is it ok if he animates my scenes from environment and we both send it for diffrent categories ? We dont want our work getting rejected because of that. He will not help me with modeling and texturing and I got no idea about animation.
The animation contest is animating a character and not an environment.
I am thinking of doing the character Zed. I noticed there is a rendition of Zed created by an artist by the name of Eoin Colgan, I was hoping to mix his rendition in with the regular skin style. Is this applicable for the contest?
Eoin was the concept artist for Zed That is completely fine.
Hi,
Regarding the location of the Creep's Den. Can I use any pictures taken from the update Summoner's Rift to "build in" the Den I make or only those pictures are at my disposal what we can find as reference images in category rules section of the contest main page? Thanks
Exactly. Where can we find and download reference images in full resolution for environment ? For example i need to use Dragon camp. Cant find it over the internet in a good quality.
The images are on the rules page. You can click the thumbnails to see the high rez images.
hi just a quick question, do i have to have a LOL account to join this contest? i did have an account long ago but i dont play the game anymore tho i did play a little 2 years ago with miss fortune...
Yes. Creating an account is free. One of the prizes (RP) requires an account.
Not sure if any questions are being answered but I had one for the character entries. I am doing annie and tibbers and have put both of them on one sheet. I wanted to do a modeled fire effect for annie for presentation purposes. Can I just put that on a 64x64 sheet on its own? Or do I need to squeeze that onto my base 2048 as well?
Hey, I had a question about this "You can use official concept art. You are not allowed to use fan art that has already been created. This is in essence working as a team. Official or your own designs only.."
But the other way around and I guess its the same rule, can I do an entry for the illustration section using someones entry for the character art section?
I have a question about the illustration. Is the display of small amounts of blood allowed ? Or is it potentially hurting my chances if there is a spurt of blood in my illustration ?
Hello, sorry if this question has been done before and for my english.
About the ENVIRONMENT ART, you say that you want a "Texture Sheets showing a good demonstration of economical UV space"; usually i use a single material for each kind of item (one material for the rock, one for the wood etc.) and so i will have different UV layout, each one with different texture (one sheet for the rock, one for the wood etc.).
Do you want a single sheet for all the item or it's ok if i send to you multiple texture sheet?
Try and use one sheet for each of the assets if you can. Efficiency is king here.
A good idea is counting more than a simple ordinary one?Or it's heavily based technical stuff like topology/uvs etc. and the feel of design doesn't matter at all?
Hello, sorry for this question, but its better to be sure. For Character art, its necessary to create just one 2048 texture sheet right?? one that includes weapon, armour, skin ...
Thanks!
In the illustration category,my friend want to know is traditional art allowed?He say he wants to enter but thinks he doesn't stand a chance since he only draws on paper.
As long as he follows the rules, traditional pieces are allowed.
So I just submitted my entry for the illustration category and only realized afterward that I was also supposed to put any sketches and reference in the zip folder. Is it okay for the entry zip to only contain the finished illustration, since the process, sketches, and reference are shown on our WIP forum post?
Hi, i dont have permission to start a Thread for the Contest. I made this account a while ago but was still at a job that had to be done. When i created the account it says something like i have to Post somewhere first to get the permission to start a Thread, but i forgot what exactly it said.
Hi, i don't get the difference in the registration between summoner name, and Lol account name either, thanks in advance.
I know this one.
LoL Account name is the name you use along with your password, to log in with. Summon name is seen in game, and what your friends use to add you to their friends list.
Hello, I am running into the animation challenge, and a lot of people, like me, created animations for invented characters. I am a concerned about this point of the FAQ that I just read today :
"I have an idea for a new champion. Can I use this for this competition?
No. This is a fan art competition. You can either recreate a champion/skin with your own take on it or create your own original skin for one of our established champions. We are not judging your idea but the final execution. Be sure that if you are designing your own skin that we can still tell who the champion is."
Does that mean a lot of us are out of subject ?
Animation is different and we did not supply any rigs or models to animate. We are going to be judging the quality of the animations and if they follow the animation principles and style of LoL.
Hello, I am currently working on the VFX portion of the art contest and I was wondering if a grid background is considered a textured background? I currently have distortion in the effect and it's hard to see it's affect without some sort of information. The grid is just a greyscale checkered texture.
What's the difference between my Summoner Name and my LOL account name? (This is on the submission sheet)
Will I be able to request detailed feedback on my work from the disciplinary team of the category I entered? (their feedback would be extremely valuable)
They are the same. Unfortunately, we will not be able to give detailed feedback for every entree due to the volume.
i got problem to submit my masterpiece...

Not sure what is happening here. It seems like you are experiencing some internet connection issues on your end. I would try and submit on someone else's machine or call your ISP.
I've sent a wrong archive (one of the unfinished steps), can I submit the final piece of the illustration with the same name and you will consider the last archive I send?
Just resubmit your entry and we will see both of your entries and determine what date is the latest version.

This are also good examples:

So is it or is it not allowed to orientate on existing characters, themes to get a look a like style/skin feeling with an own design?
That is fine. Being inspired is one thing. Copying a concept is another.

You will be judged on the actual effects.

That is a polycount question. Either way, it will not factor into the judging.
Eoin was the concept artist for Zed That is completely fine.
Thank you
Hand painted.

The texture for both Annie and Tibbers should be in single 2048 diffuse sheet or need to separate?
Seperate.
Yes. Creating an account is free. One of the prizes (RP) requires an account.
Thanks!
Separate sheets. Squeeze in the fire.
But the other way around and I guess its the same rule, can I do an entry for the illustration section using someones entry for the character art section?
No. You can use official illustrations.
Does it have to be a biped character?
No.
It will not hurt your chances.
must be create a vfx about LoL?
The style should match the art direction of LoL.

We are as well!
I do not understand your questions.
Do you send any email or personal massage?
We will look at all the entries on the 20th after the contest closes to begin the judging process. We will try and confirm receipt of the entry.

ANIMATION SUBMISSION QUESTION
- Separate videos in one zipfile ok? or should I edit all animations in 1 Quicktime vid?
thx
Either works.
I would assume individual QT's for ease of looping, but I would like to know what is preferred. Thanks.
Separate is preferred but it will not disqualify you.
Yes
Sure
I know this one.
LoL Account name is the name you use along with your password, to log in with.
Summon name is seen in game, and what your friends use to add you to their friends list.
Hope this helps.
