oh yeah it is, just like konami with yu gi oh

What do you mean allows, this isn't a secret recipe

@@joaquincaceresguibovich3182 some companies do not allow the artists to even display the artwork in their portfolio and do not disclose their identity. I have a graphic designer friend he worked for huge companies and that was one of their conditions.

@@joaquincaceresguibovich3182 just to add something, the company basically own the artworks, so they have all right to do what they want

@@joaquincaceresguibovich3182 if you sold someone a car then you cannot just take it back without their permission because you created it. same with artwork.

Same

we all can learn to draw, but finding the concept is another story

@@ngegamesantai_ like I can understand drawing a single piece is tolerable but they have to do it over and over again until it gets approved. And yes finding concepts and inspiration is also rlly hard to do. And their piece aren't just pure sketch too they actually color and render half way just for it to be rejected by the company, so much time and effort will be wasted

Pretty easy on the difficulty scale. Some people are firefighters, some have people's lives in their hands, others are soldiers... and then are these guys that paint xD

@@astico5456 no job is easy, it may seem like it because they literally just sit and draw. Remember this, everyone in the world can paint but there's just a few who got the patience to do a piece over and over and over again. And I doubt that even less can be qualified for the job because this actually takes a lot of time, motivation, not everyone can sit in front of a tablet and draw a whole day, because these actually have a deadline. And after they finish a project there's always a next one, they almost have no time to rest. There's no easy job in the world, if there is then everyone would choose that job, no brainer. Firefighters are on a different scale, some people find it easy because they're actually built for firefighting, it may sound hard but for people who got a fit and strong body + with years of training it's not that bad. It's just the same with being an artist, people just get the misconception that it's easy because they never experienced to be an artist in the first place.

right? I was NOT expecting the first one to be closed out like that, especially with how far it’s already gotten. At least it’s still here so that we can see and appreciate it

Its not that far considering how much time is spent on the actual splash

I rly liked the first one aswell :0

They weren't iterations, they were thumbnails - Riot demands a bunch of thumbnails they can pick from before you start the lengthy work on the final splash. A lot of artists do multiple thumbnails on the same canvas, this artist just preferred to fill the canvas with them instead.

@@SoundlessFantasy They don't pursue perfection, it is their job to make art like this. If they had to make lower quality art (like emotes), they would do that normally.

I mean, there's that, but riot usually requires multiple versions and they choose one out :D

@@Tokkiix The Art lead or director chooses correct. Its the usual process in the industry.

Gotta love conspiracy.

he has probably drawn so many hands that he just knows by heart what they look like and doesn't need to look at a picture. practice my friend

@@aizuni I know lol

Me too! I would love to know if there is at least a course you can recommend me from a riot artist? How to polish and render, using these values and lights?

@@somethingelse928 I would like to share the twitch channel that is made up of riot contractors called “wildbluestudios” that’s the twitch channel, they do free portfolio reviews every Wednesday and they literally tell you how to go from normal artist to riot level artist.I REALLY recommend it especially as the head is ex riot. The biggest thing they’ve said is rendering is not as important as the fundamentals which you can learn at home if you’re disciplined or of course from a school.

well if you knew the result would be as good as this i don't think you'd give up

@@aizuni for me it depends on the media. like I'd stop v early when watercoloring, but it's a habit i drag to digital painting 😭😭😭

hahaha I like the story, but oh man Bo, what have you done? :P Nah, as much as I hate playing vs Akali, I always guessed that they were kind of cool people IRL, who really just want to play honest champs but league is ... league so they switch to have more fun.
