[Riot Creative Contest 2017] Kled, Soul Eater [FINAL]
polycounter lvl 3
Hello there !
I'm trying again the Riot Games creative contest illustration this year, since the previous one help me to improve some of my skills.
This year I choose Kled. I really like his personality because even if he is really funny he still a strong warrior.
Also his teammate Skaarl is very inspiring.
I decided to make a new skin for him.
I was thinking and searching about something more dark, between a ghost and a zombie but as a wandering knight.
For Skaarl, I just wanted to make something totaly new for him, it's why I decided to make a raptor following the same rule as Kled by making a something between the ghost and the zombie.

[ P2 ] Splash Art : Work Process
Coming soon...
Just one thing, If I could change something I would say that Kled's color was a little better in draft 1. With those colors, he looks more like an actual Soul Eater, because, the way it is right now, he looks a bit halloweenish and not so dark. It would also make him look a bit cooler, and more phantomish. I think you should keep the glowing orange in Skaarl though, it would contrast nicely in my opinion.
It's also why I decided to go with the orange tones, because it's not very common.
It might look a bit halloweenish because it's something that is very inspiring for me. It will not be a skin/splash dedicated to halloween but the mood of the background might have some similarity. :*

[ P2 ] Splash Art : Work Process
About the posing of Kled, I didn't want to make him as a regular horserider, so I decided to make him pose as a conqueror with his faithfull Skaarl.=> Everythings will more detailled with the painting and I'll have a lot to do with the perspective. I'm already thinking about adding some FX in order to merge every elements. :*
what do you think?
I agree with your vision. I've been working on their position and i'll reduce the "empty area" on the left.
I'll share with you soon the final painting.
Well done, really nice piece of art
Amazing work for real. If only Rito would use your project I'd buy this skin it in a heartbeat! I like the dinosaur idea for Skaarl it somewhat reminds me of "Baby T" from Crash Bandicoot 3.
Again fantastic work!
Btw. If you don't mind I'll use the splash art as my new wallpaper
