Artist's commentary
League of Legends - Pool Party!
This just dropped as The League of Legends login screen! Go play the game and check it out, it's LIVE right now beta.na.leagueoflegends.com/!!! It has actually been animated by the art team at Riot games but if you're not a LoL player (you should be, it's awesome and free) you can check out the youtube vid here: youtu.be/agvfjk8eH_0
Had a blast working on this piece with the very talented RiotTeaTime twitter.com/RiotTeaTime, she's a super awesome artist and you should go follow her!
For this particular piece I really wanted to push the perspective and foreshortening, mostly due to the circumstances being that it had to fit a 16:9 letterbox. This made choosing a panoramic fisheye lens ideal for showcasing the number of characters within this piece. I felt a pool party wouldn't be a pool party without a healthy dose of women, so I put quite a few extra in there! Originally it was strictly Leona, but can you identify the rest!? Also everyone seems to be asking who the one with the tattooed arm is, and to be completely honest I'm not sure either! Heh! ;) (Wink)
Hope you like it y'all! :) (Smile)
