Hello everyone!

So my approach on the contest started with a simple question: Which character is most deserving of a legendary skin? After a couple days of reflexion, it seemed pretty obvious that my only choice was to give some love to the outrageous... the dazzling, the FABULOUS TARIC.

What you see here is a basic "moodboard" of where I want to go and a little facial expression chart to get me into character. So here's the goal: I'm going to animate how I would see Fabulous Taric move and interact in-game, the way a legendary skin most of the time gets his own unique animation kit. Taric was really the first character I played extensively when I started League of Legends so I'm happy to go forward with this, I really want to bring alive the internet fame the character developed over the years!

Here are some rough doodles of my initial pose research. I will be keeping the thread up to date and will try to comment as much as I can on my workflow when I approach developing an "animation kit", paper planning being the first and longest part.
