[Riot Art Contest] - Ode to Malzahar

Pierson3d · Oct 2014

I love malzahar and I play him more than any other champ. The classic guy who floats across the ground thing has always come off as very badass and I also like the nontraditional wizard play that he gets out of people. Q is OP!

I did some really rough poses to start and I'm gonna start digging in after this, will post again tonight sometime.

I am a noob and don't know how people are getting these nice preview images embedded. How do I do that? Somebody please show me some love.

Awesome! I considered Mal too because his splash is wonderful but not the most dynamic. I would get some cool "camera" angels in there to make something really great!

instead of attaching a thumbnail, add an image via a url. (I use tinypic)

the elbow on the left arm is a little thin, as well as the wrist on the right side is a little too long and thin. I'd also recommend pumping up the volume on the curve of the hat where the back of the head is. It's making him look a little squashed.

The perspective on the left hand is also off a bit. try looking at your own hand or some pictures of hands online for reference. Maybe even just import a picture of a hand that's in the shape you want and trace over it if you're still having trouble with it.

Yuo might also want to check the layout.
You basicall cut the image in half and left the right side empty.

RedDawnWalker · Oct 2014

I don't think half the image being empty is a bad thing. Most of the splash art on LoL is that way. i thought i read that it was a good thing, in the rules, if it looked like splash art. If it's not then I'm boned too since I did the same thing.

thanks for the feedback fellas all noted, I did honestly do the sorta 2/3 1/3 split intentionally but once I start filling space with flowing energy I feel like it will be fine
