I’ve been messing with this digital painting for actual years at this point. I think it’s at a place where I’m almost completely happy with it. So here, a splash art for my League of Legends OC Cora Baker in her Star Guardians skin. Background is a lil messy but it’s so intricate at this point I don’t know what to add or take away. Her familiar is a three headed raven that splits into three starlight ravens that can become her various tools and weapons, and their names are Rook, Jay, and Crow. She’s a bit of a detective, investigating the origins of the void monsters and their leader, Morgana.

Beauty in Splash Art 3

League of Legends splash art is, on the face of it, perhaps an odd place to go looking for beauty. These are JPGs whose first and primary function is to hawk video game cosmetics for a free-to-play game, it's not exactly the sort of thing you expect artists to particularly flex their creativity for.

And true enough, a lot of splash art is fairly rote. Here's a character, wow look at their cool pose, don't you want to spend dollars to own this, and so on.

But sometimes, one of the artists working at Riot, or at their outsourcing studios, seems to get a bee in their bonnet, or maybe they just get excited about an opportunity to practise craft, and you get splash art that tries to do something more than simply sell the product, or artwork which displays a real flex of technical skill, often in ways which are functionally invisible at any of the common resolutions that the art will ever be displayed at.

There is genuine reward to be found in those pieces, in zooming in close and marveling at the level of effort spent. So let's spend about an hour doing that!
