[Riot Creative Contest 2017] - Blood Moon Xayah and Rakan
polycounter lvl 3
Hello everyone! My name is Alex and I'm a 2D Concept Artist and Illustrator. This will be my second Riot Art contest entry.
I've learned a lot over the past few years so I'm excited to see how this works out in comparison to last time.
I'm a little late to the forums because I was contemplating about what to do for a week and half (I wasn't certain if I could change the title of the post). Originally I was working towards making a Xayah Soulstealer skin, but as my Xayah playing friend had mentioned..."what about Rakan? They should be together."
She was right. NOW I'm adding Rakan and scrapping the Soulstealer idea. I thought about making my own original skin designs, but alas I got too wrapped around the idea of the Blood Moon skins.
Wish me luck! This will be a lot of work. As per the rules, I will be posting WIPs and references.

SPLASH SKETCH BASE: This is fairly rough and I'm seeing a lot of flaws, but I'll iron them out as I go. The effects will change. Xayah's feathers will be kunais.
I'm just not that sure about Rakan's hair it looks a bit too much like its a Shaco skin (cant remember the name) I'd consider to shorten it (maybe a bit spiky?)
I wouldnt change too much it reall does look good! I'm really digging it.
When u go for Rakan I wouldnt go for long hair tbh it doesnt rly look like him but you did very well with Xayahs hair keeping that ponytail on the shoulder!
One doesn't work because of where Rakan's sleeve will be. Two and three may cover too much of Rakan.
Rakan and Xayah are two of my favorite characters, and the blood moon skins are so cool (your designs are great!)
Thank you!
One small advice: Both of their hands near us are almost the same size, but the hands that are close together, Xaya's is too small and Rakan's is too big, I suggest make xaya's a bit bigger and rakan's a bit smaller
I should have this done by the deadline on Wednesday.
I think it's finished BUT I'm not going to submit it just yet. I want to let this simmer.
Good luck!
