[RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017] Varus the Arrow of Retribution

omen47 · Nov 2017

Hello polycounters, I will be going with a classic Varus model. I believe his in-game version looks a bit older than the new "updated" looking champions, mainly his texture so it seemed like a reasonable pick to "re-make"
Good luck everyone

first wip, head/face blockout, torso and hair are placeholders

Riot just recently released a new splash art for Varus based on his new updated lore and comic, so I figured I'd share it here with you if you haven't seen it yet.

You're sculpt is looking great so far. I can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks for the headsup Howling! I was about to wrap up the hair, but seeing this new haircut makes me want to remake it again from scratch

glad they updated him, I wonder if rito is planning on releasing a VU of his model anytime soon? Would be funny. Glad they kept the rest of his design intact

Howling Carnage · Dec 2017

I don't think they have any immediate plans to update his visuals, but I believe I saw Rioters talk about the possibility of a Texture and Voice- Over Update sometime next year though on the boards.

omen47 · Dec 2017

Yeah his current textures are quite outdated, I really like his classic design though hope they dont change it. Last wip this weekend, will try to squeeze some hours during the week. Tweaked his face a bit, added few details and started the main hair blob

body blockout wip + quick notes on what to fix. mainly comparing it with the newer varus skins, trying to get similar proportions etc

Getting there...

I am also almost done with his bow, I made a "base" like my initial sketch and then tweaked it with deformers to see if I can come up with some cool shapes. Ill probably just go with "D"
