[Riot Creative Contest 2017] Erica Thomas

Erica45

Hey guys! First time being here on poly count.
I am excited about this contest. 
I have some ideas on the turret and the den but have not decided what to go with.
So, I will post my concept/ideas soon  

Erica45

I used to play league of legends, and I loved playing ahri. I'm going to go organic/forest style in the environments. I also like glowing lights. For the den, there will be fireflies basing it off of ahri's world; Ionia. I am still deciding if I should do a turret or an inhibitor by using ahri style, I was thinking about using foxes around a glowing light.

The first style of the den: 
^this style I went for mountain look. I'm still making a forest den concept. 
The reference I used was near the river on the league game map.

I like the idea of the bright flowers on the trees in den 2, the blue and the pink work well!

I chose to do the inhibitor. Going with the same theme as the creep den. Some of the references of the inhibitor. I am thinking to have foxes sitting.

Hey! I'm texturing the rock for the middle piece in my den as well as my inhibitor.  These are variations of the texture I'm working on.

a little flatter texturing.

aww that's cute! I also though about doing sakura trees on mine to give it a romance feel, but they are too bright for league environments, you should pay attention to your values and try to put it into the scene now to compare  

Erica45

Thank you for the cc ill put it the scene to compare the values!

Your concepts are looking great. Remember to match the contrast of your textures with those from the game. It seems as though you are in the early stages still but I can say, from experience, that matching the game's style was one of the biggest challenges. Good luck!

Erica45

@brettmarshalltucker Thanks, yea matching the game's texture style is biggest challenges. I can agree  

Erica45

I enjoyed doing this contest.  I learned a lot in this. I faced many challenges such as getting the textures to the game's style.  Completed.
