Ruined Diana

Hello! Here is a League Of Legends fan art I've been working on lately.

I wanted to try the Ruined skin theme on a champion that wasn't involved yet - I started working on it when none of the sentinels skins were announced. I got lucky Diana became a sentinel, so I still had the fun to keep working on this one and show what she could look like if she were on the Ruined King's side instead.

I started from scratch, concepting rough sketches based on the ruination theme, the other skins, and Diana's design. I went back and forth from 2D to 3D, then paintovers, rough sculpts... and kept iterating until it worked. Then cleaned the sculpt, did a low poly and started painting over a few baked maps to get base lighting info. I also rigged, skinned, posed her, using RapidRig in Maya. Texture was mainly done in 3DCoat. Rendered in TB3

Big thanks to some of my friends and their good eyes, for their help and feedback to help me push this one as far as I could.

Background images are screenshots and illustrations from Riot Games I combined and modified.

I really enjoyed doing this one even if the concept part was very challenging and lots of additionnal work for me, I'll probably do other skins fanart in the future, so fun to do!
