Since the Chinese/Lunar New Year is coming, I thought that I’d like to create a piece which depicted a very old and traditional story about how the Chinese Zodiac came to be. For those unaware, this is what determines what animal every new year is centered around. For instance, this year is the “Year of the Dog”, and last…
Hi there! My name's Yemi, but I go by OraMagi on most online platforms. I'm heavily into creative writing, world-building and lore-writing so when I saw this contest go live, I jumped at the opportunity to put myself on Riot's radar! It's definitely somewhere I've wanted to work for the longest time and I can certainly see…
Hello everyone! This is my WIP post for the cs-go skin contest. So firstly, the skin is inspired by the movies "Back to Future" (1985) and "Tron" (1982). The first idea was to have the handle in pink, to give it a crazy look. In the final product, I chose to remove all pink parts and to make those part into a bluish color.…
"Known issues: I know my character isn't great, say, her arms are too thin. Whether I can fix it is down to my ability." No. It lies down to you measuring the diameter of a good reference model, and thickening yours appropriately. You can do that. Forget the myth of the artist feeling/improvising things.

Many games inspired me to go into my career. but these are the ones that made it easy for me to test out stuff in :D Excite Bike was one of the few games that let you make your own tracks and I loved it when I was a kid. Metroid I did not edit in any form but I drew tons of drawings of levels with repeated tile sets on…
I think a lot of us got into the industry with equal parts luck, determination, and networking. There is often a "right time/right place" aspect to landing your first industry job. Q: How did you start out? A: Attended art school. Utilized my time at college by spending nearly every day (open-close) at the campus, working…
My Opinion: You are a CS rep... pretty much entry level there at your day job. Sounds like they know you are even trying to make more of yourself too. They have told you that you need more professional examples before they could consider you. Now that does not translate into a "go get a contract gig". I suspect they mean,…
Well I forgot to create a thread at the start when i decided to try and make some skins for the competition, so il post my journey of where I started and how I've come to the point i'm at. Still open for peoples contribution on what they like, don't like and what changes you think you look the best for the project. (PS. I…

First of all, my last post disappeared when I tried to edit it so apologies if there's a double post. Since the Chinese/Lunar New Year is coming, I thought that I’d like to create a piece which depicts a very old and traditional story about how the Chinese Zodiac came to be. For those unaware, this is what determines what…
