[Riot 2017 Art Contest] Ziggs bomber from above Illustration

Jonesoda

Hey! Excited for this contest, I want to hopefully get around to multiple entries. so many awesome characters to choose from to paint, first that came to mind though was Ziggs. Started some rough thumbnails to explore, so far I like the long canvas sketch the best.

Little progress on the previous sketch and a mood sketch. Gotta bring back the gesture in the one.

Revised comp and a color comp

good stuff, i would say that there is a good point of attention with that vertical lighting and the constrast done by the bomb but at the same time it doesen't fell he is jumping from is ability anymore , it have a really werid feeling of a bomb explosion  that it is still intact or a random explision , so keep an eye on that . but aside that good work and original concept and approach , keep goign !!

Jonesoda

@madeamedafunk Thanks for the advice! I'll try fixing it, I'm exaggerating the explosion with the nuke like affect a bit compared to the in game version. 

Little bit of an update, foreshortening isn't looking quite right on the figure atm.

Jonesoda

Here's another update, nearly locking in the comp. Then I can get to building this thing up.

Here's another update! 



Also here's my twitch stream, I've been streaming the majority of the process.

splash in a vertical format? cool rendering so far, dig the upward lighting, makes ziggs look crazy which is good. I think a stronger composition could be found though, just does'nt have the punch it could. good luck and i look forward to seeing more. Ill ass ya on twitch 

Jonesoda

Thanks Man! I read this awhile ago but totally forgot to keep this thread updated, got carried away with issues on the image -_-

Finally done, it changed a lot through the process.

I like how you changed the explosion. You know it's rolling in on itself more as it expands (As explosions do  ). Nice
