[RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017] | Noxus Riven | Jsy16
null
Hey I'm Jonathan, aka Jsy16, I'm a 2nd year student studying 3D for movies. I am mostly a lurking in the Polycount forums, stealing everyone's knowledge. 
I am a long standing fan of League of Legends, and Riven in particular, as she was the sole reason I started playing in the first place.
The skin idea I'm working with (after some consideration on my part) is Noxus Riven, basically her before she has her battle on the fields of death against the Ionian army. After deciding on what my idea was, I gather some base references:
I have more similar references on a Pintrest board.
I grabbed as many Riven splash arts, character sheets and model sheets as possible, along with some cosplay photos and character models.
Along side that, I grabbed some environment art pieces that I associate with Noxus.
I also got some references of Darius, seeing as him and Pre Exile Riven held similar positions in the Noxus Army and that would lead to their outfits being similar. Pre Exiled Riven was ambitious, ruthless and efficient, which also rings true for Darius, so I feel like he is going to play a big portion in how I'm going to be design her skin as I go forward.
I am super excited about this contest and I am sure I can grow significantly as an artist during the coming months.
Feel free to critique my work at anytime during this process, I am always open to new ideas and suggestions.
