[Riot Creative Contest 2017] - WIP - Joao Dias

Hey all!!
It's my first time on the contest
I'm a 3D character animator from Portugal currently working in a feature film animation pilot.

So for the contest I decided to do a run and a recall.

For the Champion I'll use the Skiscrapper rig from Ianimet.net, I'll do some changes on the skin latter on.


I designed and modelled and rigged this weapon for the champion, It's based on a Cup mixed with an axe and a spear!




I also designed a shield inspired on a medal but I think that's to much props for the guy! What do you think?

Overall my champion is very cocky and full of him self!

Here's my rough blocking

Hey Guys, 
Here is another blocking pass, I set up the timing, refine some poses, and I think I set up the LOL 3/4 view, with a angle of 55 and a FOV of 40.
What I did was, camera rotate X = 55 and the angle of view (FOV)= 40 is this right?

here's my almost final version

Hi @joaoalexdias

I do really like where your going with that, but I feel like you could do some more work on the over body. Specially the hand that is holding the axe does not feel like it is carrying any weight. Look at Tryndamares run cycle as an example.

Your doing good work, just think a step further and you will be golden

Hi @Rambo4you


Thanks for the tip, I loved the reference in the link you send me.
I'm  not quite happy with the result, in fact I'm thinking in changing the rig and add more "personality" to the run!

I'll be posting news soon!

Best regards

I wasn't quite happy with the result, I wanted something funny and diferente, that could show more character personality, I also didn't like the shape of the character.
My new character will be a George Mod that I once used in a Ianimate assignment.( colors are not decided yet)


The mood is the same as I planned, and here's the rough blocking




during the skip he will play around with his axe/cup!
