   So I have decided that I would like to do a recall animation. As a League Player I have always been a huge fan of how creative the Recall animations are! I think it has the most creative freedom and offers me the best choice to do something really fun and interesting! My next step will be thinking of a character and what…

   Because I am doing a Recall animation I decided to watch some compilations of the 'best' ones :) My Personal favourite is Miss Fortune's Star Guardian Recall because its one of my favourite skins to play as and it is reminiscent of Sailor Moon. Because I enjoy these magical types of Recall I though I would make my one in a…

   Hi wasabiiroll! I was looking at the star guardians twirling as well which was my base inspiration for this character. What I want to be careful of is making my character look too much like ones that already exist. Its an uphill battle for sure! thank you for the suggestion though :)

   I have decided to base my character off of a cute fairy type! One downside is that i haven't been able to get hold of a suitable rig for it! This means that i will be adapting an existing rig. I will be using the body mechanics rig Jill and will be giving her my own set of wings that im currently making out of a plane.

   I was thinking hard about how a fairy/flying creature would fly around the Rift to get from A to B. I decided to watch the champion Spotlight for the champion Kayle and it gave me some insight. One of the main things is that the champion has to be pretty upright in order to conduct their attacks more seamlessly as it…

   I now have my rig set up with two planes with a shader to create the effect of wings for my character. I will be starting with Movement cycle animation which, as she is a Fairy, will consist of more of a float/flutter.

   So I have started my Float cycle that my character uses to get across the rift! This is just two poses in a looped animation. I will keep updated as I add more movement and polish it up. https://vimeo.com/243869297 Float_cycle_Test WIP from Katie Bannock on Vimeo.

    I was finding that my flight cycle was looking more like an idle and needed some real finesse so that it was readable as flying without having to move her forward. I have begun to animate elements of her to give more of a feeling of wind rushing past and creating more drag on her limbs.
