[Riot Art Contest] - Yasuo

Rosolino

Hi there!
A bit late but no problem
Super excited with this opportunity! who doesnt, right?
I picked the champion Yasuo!! I started studying very quickly how those illustrations from Riotgames works, and after that I made this 3 thumbnails, they are very simple but I guess is working, at least for me haha!

Anyway, hope in the next hours I can bring more progress!

@NiGHtMa1rZz: Thank you

I tried more thumbnails but they didn't worked so well, so I decided to go with the number 3! Hope tomorrow I can reach the color pallet o/

I just hit the grayscale stage :v (got to get better on values hehe)

dont know if 'hit' is the right word haha

Finally I could put some colors directly from the grayscale!! I used the gradient map for the first time and it works! I'm super happy that i learned this... I know isn't the best color or result, but its good to know another way of coloring besides the color layer!

hey, cool stuff so far! the thumbnail reads very well. i'm just not sure with the sword, in the last version it really looks like a light saber if you dont know him. maybe just metal shading and some nice highlights from the moonlight?
