Marauder Kalista - Splash Art Painting Process League of Legends 60fps
NOW 60FPS so you can slow it down and still see the details!!
Marauder Kalista! Really had fun figuring this out because I'm a huge fan of the dark fantasy genre. The goal here was to showcase Kalista as the ultimate Marauder warrior. She's supposed to be really big like 10ft tall.
The tricky parts of this splash were all the intersecting elements like the spears behind her, her hair, her arm in front of her vs the loin cloth. It was hard balancing how to separate her front arm in terms of values. We redrew the hands like 4 times in total. Also, I had trouble figuring out Xin Zhao in the left corner. At first he was supposed to be made of pure red energy since he is still being summoned but in the end it got too distracting so he was colored back with his local colors.
Thanks again to everyone at Riot and West Studio!
Thanks for watching!

► A splash takes 4-5 weeks. 1st week for multiple sketches. 2nd week to figure out the colors. 3rd to 5th week to render and polish.
► I paint with the canvas size 8,000 x 4,500 px but it is shrunk down to 7,000 x 3938 for final.
► This video is 50x speed up. Do the math based on this video's time. Usually, the real time is around 40-80+ hours. (if the other thumbnails were added in). Actual work hours are more than 100+ hrs when you factor in the other thumbnails, research, and contemplating time.
► The toolbar at the left side is called Lazy Nezumi. It helps me get smoother lines and have perspective guides.
► To quickly color a grayscale, I use two methods.
GRAYSCALE COLORING 1ST METHOD:
• Layer on top: The grayscale set to multiply. Brighten it up and colorize depending on the mood you want. This Acts as an AO pass.
• Layer below: Use a solid brush to paint in the flat local colors.
GRAYSCALE COLORING 2ND METHOD: (Messier)
• Layer on top: Set this layer to softlight and add in your colors. This makes it a bit look dull on the highlights so you need to manually fix the highlight colors.
• Layer below: Grayscale here.
► Tip for revisions. You can use liquify on multiple layers. Right after you do it on one layer. You can press Alt+Ctrl+F to apply it again to a different layer. Make sure not to deselect your selection if you are doing this.
► I use color dodge and sometimes linear dodge blending mode to add in lighting layers.
► I group layers using this logic:
1. Post processing
2. VFX, magic
3. Character
4. Some fog
5. Background people, elements, etc
6. Sky and far background
► Here are my tools:
2008-2020:
• Wacom Intuos 3 6″x8″
• Samsung T190
• Intel Core i7 3.50GHz, 16GB RAM, Windows 7
• Photoshop CS6, DAZ 3D, Alchemy
2021:
• XP Pen Artist 24 PRO
• Dell UltraSharp
• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core, 32 GB RAM, Windows 10
• Force Series Gen.4 PCIe MP600 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD (this is important for faster everything)
• Photoshop CC, Daz 3D, Zbrush, Maya
► To open a second window of your artwork in Photoshop it is located in Window - Arrange - New Window.
► To temporarily convert your artwork into grayscale. Go to View - Proof Setup - Custom - Select Dot Gain 20%. Then Press Ctrl + Y to toggle this view.
► I am not going to upload longer or shorter versions of this because that takes too much of my personal time. I'm already giving this away for FREE.

Glad you like it! I get feedback just like any other freelance job. I usually get written feedback. I've done enough splashes to understand most of what they want. Sometimes, I get a paintover when they request something more specific or if I don't understand it. The goal is to get as less feedback as possible and to achieve this goal, I always put my work side by side to other splash artwork to see if it matches.

Yup material studies help a lot but what is more important is to understand the scene as a whole. Like for example, in this scene, the whole bg is clamped into midtone while the character contains all the super dark and super light values. There are other possible combinations for illustrations and this is just one of the standard ones. :)
