[Riot Art Contest] - Ao Shin

Design isn't a strong point for me, but I feel it's a tad silly to just re-make an existing champion as-is. At least with Ao Shin, he hasn't been released yet.



I am a Technical Director and haven't done any modeling/texturing in a very long time. Being an avid League player, this seems like the perfect project to start chiseling away at the rust!

Since he hasn't been released yet, there may be some conflict using him to model. I think they want existing champs, or skins/new skins for existing champs. Kind of a grey area since he isn't your original design, but at the same time hasn't been released either.

That is a good point but the concept art is from riot and this excerpt from the contest rules make me think that I can do it:

Can I use a concept art from a friend or that I found online?
No. You can only use your own concept or any concept from Riot.

In the end I don't expect to be winning anything here though, so I doubt it will be a big deal

Ao Shin is my pick too. I had the same concerns so I asked in the FAQ thread and they said that it's fine to use unreleased heroes as long as the concept is from Riot.

Oh man, maybe I want to change my character too

Anyway, can't wait to see what you do with him!

Nice that you warm up with something simple like a crazy armoured, hairy, lightning dragon thing
