[Riot art contest] Riven

Kaninja · Oct 2014

Hello there~

I want to make a post apocalyptic skin for Riven

So this is my reference board so far:

Kaninja · Oct 2014

I started a little art and style test

What do you think?
The next step will be to create outfits and thumbnails for my illustration.

Bishop313 · Oct 2014

I'm looking forward to this. Go go go Kaninja!!

Kaninja · Oct 2014

Thank you Bishop313! I'll try my best

I have to add more references. Superbabe (character by Raphaelle Roux)! She's so hot

And Sarah

thanks that I'm allowed to use your face and your hairstyle.

Kaninja · Oct 2014

And here are my first two concepts so far. I think I'm gonna make a third one

What do you think?

JessyB · Oct 2014

The second one really remind me Riven, but the first look like Vi ^^

and I pref the outfit of the second concept too

So I think you can go with the second concept ^^

Lokii288 · Oct 2014

I agree with Jessy. Not to say they aren't both great but the second just gives me more of a Riven vibe.

blue_skies · Oct 2014

I actually was gonna say I like the first one more... but the two commenters above me may be right. But you HAVE to keep the hair and hoodie thing from the first.. muhh.

Lokii288 · Oct 2014

I do like the hair and hoodie of the first one.

MGrecke · Oct 2014

This looks really promising! I also like the first one actually! would be cool to have the goggles on her as well!

shotgun_becky · Oct 2014

Loving the lineart and details already!!! I like the hair and the hoody from the first concept as well as the scarf and the coat from the second

Kaninja · Nov 2014

Thanks for your feedback everyone!

I'm currently working on different outfit concepts and try to combine the things you prefered on my first try. Meanwhile, I was thinking about her sword and how it could work.
I had the idea that she is connected to her sword via wires.

shotgun_becky · Nov 2014

Oh, I love the idea with the plug-ins

AlfheimProductions · Nov 2014

I absolutely love this concept 1 because Riven is my favorite champ, 2 because I really adore your art style

Kaninja · Nov 2014

@ shotgun_becky thank you!

@AlfheimProductions Oh thank you so much!

I already learned a lot with this contest. I never did such concepts before.

Here are some new sword thumbnails and the refined skin concept lineart.
Which one do you like the most?

Kaninja · Nov 2014

Okay I started to create some thumbs for my illustration

My favorite is the right one in the second row. What do you think?

JasperSandner · Nov 2014

Love the lineart sketches, I like the hairstyle on the one on the right the most! You can tell which thumbnail was your favorite, you've put the most rendering into it :P I'd say go with that one especially if you like it. Maybe do a couple more refined thumbs of that same pose/idea, adding in some torso twist, playing with position of arms, etc. just for the sake of a little more exploration and finding the best comp. Good luck!

TeddyDxC · Nov 2014

Cool design! I like it!

Kaninja · Nov 2014

@JasperSandner I'm still not sure which hairstyle I should choose.
But I sketched out my three thumbnail favs a bit. And I'm also not sure which one I should take xD argh!

bloecher · Nov 2014

i like the first one most. like how it is closer to her, since you cut the legs off.

Kaninja · Nov 2014

small update: I decided to go with the first one

But I'll plan to make the third one as well after the contest.

I'm sorry that it looks so crappy and chaotic at this state. And the sword is a super cheap placeholder xD

Kaninja · Nov 2014

Another little update ^^
I didn't touch her hand and her sword so they are still crappy xD
