[Riot Art Contest] - Quinn

Strategisto

Hey Folks. Here's my WIP on Quinn.

Current state



First rough sketch.


And a bit more dramatic one:)

Strategisto

More dynamic angle.

Strategisto

Few tweaks in composition.

Isaiah Sherman

Most recent comp is definitely the strongest so far. Keep it up!

Skyerzz

YAY another Quinn and Valor!. I'm doing her for the character art category. This looks super bad ass dude! *Subbed*

I honestly feel like post #2 has a stronger more aggressive angle. Post #3's feels too relaxed.

Post #2 just needs to be frame better. In #3 you don't have her head cropped off and she fits more in the shot, but the line of art is too passive for me and feels more like she is posing to look cool. Post #2 has a more aggressive line of action and feels more like she is attacking. SO just pull the camera further out to fit her in the shot comfortably

Jesus there's so much movement and action in that composition I feel like I don't wanna move a muscle anymore. That's how much it overwhelmed me. O_O

Strategisto

Isaiah Sherman Thanks, mate! I've liked last composition, but as i'm trying to represent the Skystrike ability of Quinn i'm going for the previous sketch.

Skyerzz Yeah! I'm thinking in the same way now. Thank you!


MugenMcFugen Wow! Thank you, mate! You just gave me some energy to keep going:)

Little update

JimmyRustler

that is so freakin' cool....

Dzaka

the position is really dynamic, it's great!

Skyerzz

Hey looking good, I'm happy you went with this one. I am a fan of a nice butt though i think you went a tad bit too far with it and it creates a tangent with her leg armor. But reduce the curve a bit. It also looks like you got a little shy about the foreshortening, which I totally understand, I don't draw to much these days but that gave me a lots of trouble back then. If you could I'd try to keep it because it really made the illustration dynamic.

*I tried to do a quick "paint over" I hope you don't mind and I hope it helps
-I reduced her bum, put her right shoulder in and her right arm away from her chest to create a nice negative space and dynamic line of action. I raised up her right leg cause it was too thick/too low and looked broken. I also angled her arm down to keep that aggressive feel

Strategisto

JimmyRustler Thanks!

Dzaka Thank you! I think it's more LoL-ish right now:)

Skyerzz Yeah, drawing hand at this angle is a pain in the ass. But i'm going to keep it. Your overpaint is really helpful as your overall feedback, thank you! Gonna make some tweeks later on.

Meanwhile...

Shading test

Dzaka

I agree with Skyerzz for the thigh and his right arm, but for you I will leave the weapon like that. I like this angle there.

Strategisto

Dzaka I'm going for something in-between. I think that her shoulder is too close to her chin on the last picture.

Small update


Mirrored version. IMO it looks more pleasant for the eye.

Zerolemons

Composition is beautifully dynamic! Keep it up!

Nebulo

Man, I'm jealous. This is my favorite illustration for this contest so far. I just wish I could be as good lol =C

Nik

DAAANG, super nice composition and values. Keep going!

hmmm my only thought might be that her chest and ribcage dont quite line up. Maybe lift up the right side of her rib cage so it aligns just a bit more with the angle of her chest and shoulders? or lower change the angle of her chest? I dont know, it looks great.

Dzaka

it's really more like it

Jelligeth

Ah she's looking super x3

If you look at all of LoL's newer character splashes, the character/focal point is practically always on the right hand side like you have her now, so I'd say it's safe to assume that keeping her on the right is :thumbup:

MaoAkari

Its unreal!
U are mad painter, man!
I like it so much!
This one is my favourite work in contest for now

RoadKill2222

looooove this! Ace work man

Skyerzz

Dude your painting skills are off the chain. I would love to see more of your work! Link Please Along with that I'd love to hear from a fellow Quinn artist what you thought of what I'm doing with her.

Personally I'm on fan of having her on the left side, for reasons I've mentioned before. *BUT based on how Riot positions most of their splash pages having her on the left is the smarter place to have her for the contest.
* Just noticed, if u flip the image and have her on screen Right, then her armor and gun arm are wrong... I'm not sure if that matters to the judges.

But whats going on with her other eye? You gotta put it in there PLEASE!

I agree with Nik on this.(Refering to Quinn on screen right image) I think it would me easier and nicer approach for you would be to make the "angle change angle" (her right side/ squashing side or torso) lower. I did a quick drawing so go Op1 because Op2 makes her torso too long on the stretching side.

JasperSandner

Looks great dude, lots of attitude in the piece. I don't think specific anatomy is too important, as long as the muscles/bones look like they work together in an anatomical sense, which they do here, I think it's fine. Stylized anatomy and proportions are what Riot is about! I don't see much else to crit yet, let's see how the piece progresses!

Longsempei

omg nice pose

xday11

Love this, like all the roughs you started out. Can't wait to see this one done

Strategisto

Thank for the support, guys! It's hard to find time to paint, but I'll try to finish this piece *_*
