[Riot Art Contest] Riven -Blood Legion-

Ira

Heya! So! Alright here's my WIP post for the contest. The idea is that this is 1 in a series of at least 2 if not 3.


The idea is that the Blood Legion fighters are Riven's Rebellion force, trying to take back Noxus from Swain and reestablish the proper Noxian ideals. Katarina and possibly Talon have also taken up arms alongside Riven by joining the Blood Legion for one reason or another (I'd elaborate but meh)

Blood legion is named for the blood of those who have perished under Swain's command unjustly or during his rise to power (example Fury Company or General Du'Couteau) as well as to counter act the Bioforge Soldiers. Blood is natural. The Blood Legion specializes in a person's natural strength, skill and wit where as Bioforge seeks to gain said power through chemical/unnatural means.

That's the summary/justification of it for now. I'll update this with the progression eventually

Ira

WIP update. UGH SO LITTLE PROGRESS THANKS TO WORK but meh

Ira

Some progress for today. this is only part of the picture obv

blue_skies

Looking nice so far. You might try giving her hair a bit of volume though if you weren't already planning to - right now it looks very slicked against her skull. Keep it up!

Ira

oh thank you! I might not have caught that if you hadnt said anything! You're wonderful lol!

chewie105

looks kinda like a male version of riven.

Ira

do you say it looks like a 'male version' of riven because she's not showing skin, doesn't have a boob plate and is built like an actual woman who wields a 6 foot long sword that probably weighs more than 3 guys? OR are you saying that because i havent had a chance to thin her chin up a little? Lol!

Ira

Updating, even tho i havent made THAT much progress.

Things to do: thin the chin, finish lineart, start color.

elotta

Looks nice so far:) While I like how you made her look like a real warrior woman in functional armour it is much more manly looking than the usual Riot over sexualized style so I guess you should be prepared to have people call her a bit manly:)
Also to me the foreshortening on her left arm looks a bit off.

Ira

tyvm for tellin' me! and yeah, i really should expect that huh? XD Armor has never /really/ been very flattering for a female figure lmao!

Alexprrk

I agree with elotta, I think that it would be far better and easier to get your way if you make her face a bit more stylish and feminine, I'd make her eyes bigger and her chin and nose a bit more triangular than that squared shape you got there (pardon english is not my first language)

Ira

Oh for sure! I'll def tweak her face especially once I get all of the basic lines done. I haven't had a chance to work on it much the passed couple days because of work but hopefully I'll have an update done sometime tomorrow. Dont worry, her face wont be staying the same hardly at all, I just had to put /something/ there so I remember what I'm planning out lol!

GuanAndOnly

I don't think Chewie had any bad intentions, haha. At that progress stage, I could see the body being feminine, but the face was looking pretty masculine. Nice progress though!
