[RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017] Character Art - Kayn -

Hello everyone!
I heard about this contest a little late, last week, and was super bummed out its near its end. I thought it was too late to enter and that I wouldn't have enough time to create a skin in this short amount of time. After kicking myself everyday for the past week and nonstop brainstorming of what I could make, I decided to really test myself and try to pump out a skin for this competition. I'm a huge fan of League and always wanted to make a skin, so with the fuel of ambition I hope I'll be able to deliver a skin by the deadline.

This is my first idea. Being a fan of the game, I've noticed a wide arrange of historical and cultural influence on some of the characters and skins in League. After much brainstorming I found the Native american style would be a great addition to League of Legends. This is my first concept

Getting proportions down for the sculpt took longer than expected, but i think its a solid start for adding detail next.
