[Riot Art Contest] - Sion - Fall of Demacia

Goldglim

Hey everyone, lets get this started.

My idea is to illustrate Sion basically defeating the champions of Demacia at its doorsteps after he was revived.

I was playing around with some compositions and layouts and for now I go into this direction.

Stewart

damn! this is one of my favorite works!

Goldglim

Thanks, glad you like it so far.

Here the color sketch.

Oh yeah, get that Jarvin!

Goldglim

I was going back and forth with different layouts but none seemed to really work.
Holding Jarvan like that was a really stiff element I wanted to remove, Sions pose wasnt that dynamic too.

For now I went with a more Frazetta like layout.
And so far I like where it is going, the problem is that its not a typical splash art if thats what they are looking for.

Goldglim

And a ref/inspiration board

That's pretty good man ! hope to see the end ! Maybe try to detach more the character to the environment but i like it

I am definitely digging the Frazetta layout. Just because, Frazetta is awesome Plus it really gives Sion this conquering mood.

Goldglim

Working through it.

AndyFisher

Really liking the palette on this one. Look forward to seeing your progress.

Goldglim

Working on the background.
Its coming together but need some more adjustments.

Goldglim

Took me longer then I hoped thanks to other works and the fact that I had to redo some parts because of a mistake during saving. --°

I will look overf it again later but for now I would say its as good as finnished.

Goldglim

As good as finnished. Maybe some minor tweaks but nothing major.

Goldglim

Redoing the legs and chest so that they dont face us direcly, looked boring before.
