[Riot Art Contest] - Sea Witch Nami

Silvarspark · Oct 2014

A while ago I made a fan skin for Nami and
now I'm going to make a splash art based on my design.
The image below is an overpaint I did on a concept art I found online.

Silvarspark · Oct 2014

Here's a quick inspiration sheet.
You can think your part on this one.

Silvarspark · Oct 2014

And Bunch of thumbnails
No.1 is nice, but I like no.5 better layout-wise. I'll do a color thumb for 5 next.

Gobliness · Oct 2014

Number 4 or 5 does have a better composition, can't wait to see this unfold!

Really great idea for a Nami skin.

LeoJr · Oct 2014

I like #1 and #5 a lot. Really cool idea!

Rosendorn · Oct 2014

Wow awesome idea, when I was small I was always so scared of Ursula...

The weapon looks great...and sketch number 5 is my favorite! Really excited to see more! I would definitely buy this skin instantly!

AlexandraVo · Oct 2014

I really love this idea! It would be really difficult to model and animate if they ever put it in the game though XD. But I can't wait to see your illustration for it! I'd suggest doing a few more thumbnails where her tentacles are more visible since it's such a key part of your design.

Silvarspark · Oct 2014

More tumbs
I'm not quite happy yet.

Silvarspark · Oct 2014

I dont know why I didnt see this earlier, but this piece CLEARLY needed color and more contrast!
I overall like thuis thumbnail, but I'll still try a few others as well.

I want to see if I can show more of her face or the tentacles.
Some more dynamic pose or movement would be nice...maybe a view from outside the water, looking at her beeing under water and looking back ?

Lokii288 · Oct 2014

Can't wait to see where this goes. I'd buy this skin so fast XD

Silvarspark · Oct 2014

More thumbs...this looks more interesting.

Rayph · Oct 2014

This is super fun cant wait to see it develop.

Darknavigator · Oct 2014

I really like you concept! I think there is someone trying to use your paint over as their concept. karytsukino might be worth looking at. He originally had your image in his post, but removed your art after the community mentioned you can not use other peoples concepts.

Anoif · Oct 2014

Cool concept! I can't wait to see more!

Thanks, he asked me about it beforehand and I told him the same.
I wouldnt take the risk, but if he wants to do it for fun I'm ok with it.

Sui Nakigai · Oct 2014

nice

good idea, nice colour sceme, very different form what we currently have.

dr_wafu · Oct 2014

I'm loving the designs and the palette. Will edit this post once I see the thumbs. Can't see it now because I need to post in a thread first!

Great stuff!

Silvarspark · Oct 2014

I think I'll go with the last one.
Maybe a bit more finetuning, but overall I like it best.

Lokii288 · Oct 2014

My eye goes straight to the last one, so I agree

I can't wait for this!

Silvarspark · Nov 2014

The last thumb is where I am now and I will definetely stick with this one.

Foreground/Background Dynamic: check
Action: check
Lighting: check

Maybe I add something in the background, but it wont be much.
Needs a bit more color tweeking, though.

Lai · Nov 2014

nice one, i just saw your thumbs, its too small to see exactly what it is but i like whats on the background of the thumb 28...very soft and discrete.
good luck!

MGrecke · Nov 2014

Really nice thumbnails! I think 24 is the best so far!

Lokii288 · Nov 2014

I'm feeling partial to 21 at the moment

Silvarspark · Nov 2014

@Lai: Thx, that is a shipwreck in the background or rather the silhouette of it.

@MGrecke: Thx, yea as a picture it looks ok, but for a LoL splash art it feels too static to me.

@Lokii288: Thx, 21 is nice on first look, but I see too many problems in it.

Rezuri88 · Nov 2014

Amazing!~ I like 24, 29, it has nice plans, dynamic, all cool stuff!

Silvarspark · Nov 2014

I'm going with this one.
Background and little details are still open but overall I'm happy with it.

Silvarspark · Nov 2014

It's coming along.

Lokii288 · Nov 2014

Can't wait!

Silvarspark · Nov 2014

Lokii288 · Nov 2014

Oooooooooh I REALLY like this so far. Maybe try putting some more emotion in the face? She looks a bit like deer in headlights right now.

Silvarspark · Nov 2014

Thanks, I'll see what I can do.

byting · Nov 2014

This is super cool! I really like the value design in this

Kind of wishing the front tentacle was turned a bit more towards us, like twisting a bit more. Also the ships could be a bit more prominent. Looking forward to see some prosess! Picked Nami myself, but there's no similarities to this, heheh

giselleukardi · Nov 2014

looking really great!

Silvarspark · Nov 2014

I tend to call this finished, but I'll look at it again some time later, with a fresh eye.

Nebulo · Nov 2014

As a Nami main, I would love this skin lol

yakonusuke · Nov 2014

Great lighting, pose, depth and lighting!

mechbunnies · Nov 2014

Whoa I love the final version of this!! This would be an awesome Nami skin! *~*

Silvarspark · Nov 2014

Thanks guys.
I'm still meddling a bit with this. Especially the water and the foreground effects.
I'm not quite happy with it yet. Nami is fine though.

littlet · Nov 2014

really nice work + skin idea! it seems like you could go one step further with the lighting - maybe the glow from her spell cast could illuminate her face/upper chest more? her hair and your overall color composition is really beautiful.

sirenslayer · Nov 2014

It looks great! I'd say it's pretty much done, but if you wanted you could try making it more League of Legends style by softening some edges. Try blending the outline of the glowing hand or places where the rim light is sharp.

RMassarani · Nov 2014

That looks amazing! I love it.

Silvarspark · Dec 2014

Worked a bit more on it.

Artitch · Dec 2014

wow! This looks incredible!

If I was gonna say anything, perhaps the rim light on her raised arm could be blended a little, and given an reverse glow sort of effect? at the moment it looks a little flat in comparison to the rest of the image. But just an idea, keep going, this is amazing!

Silvarspark · Dec 2014

You have a point with the arm looking flat. I'll work on that.

Silvarspark · Dec 2014

DONE!

Lokii288 · Dec 2014

beautiful

bloecher · Dec 2014

yeaaa!

Artitch · Dec 2014

Yep! This is amazing! That definitely rounded off the piece, I love it!

marcsteinmann · Dec 2014

Very nice man! Awesome!

Chantel-sky · Dec 2014

Amazing work!
I just saw your entry show up in my feed on facebook because of leaguecraft, not sure if you also go by Shockowaffel as that's who they said it's done by. (just a heads up incase someone is stealing your work)

Good luck with your entry!

Nikola · Dec 2014

I hope you will win this contest, you are awesome
