thanks! ^_^

Ah, thanks for the tip!!

When it comes to my work, I tend to be a bit insecure about the stuff I create. I've been having increasing inner thoughts about if I'll ever make it in the industry. Stuff like, "This person found a flaw in my art. That means I'm horrible and not worthy of being a professional." "Not many people are liking this art post. That means I suck and won't find a wider audience." "I'll never get hired at this game company because I'll never be good enough. They've already rejected me three times." I've had to work to dissipate these insecurities. It's hard but regularly practicing and getting better at what I do helps a lot. The art world is brutal and filled with competition.

Happy bday meme boi! https://thumbs.gfycat.com/RareFilthyBrownbear-max-1mb.gif

This perfectly summarizes my thoughts on the rework's writing {{sticker:sg-ahri-2}}

It's not "SJW" it's basic character design logic.

Novellas!?!?! Consider me hyped as hell. Especially if they have illustrations/cool covers so they'll be well worth a physical purchase. {{sticker:sg-ahri-2}}

I want to be! :O

Ok! That's good to know. Hope to see more progression soon!

Interesting... hopefully you're right and her development will continue as we've seen!

Exactly, I thought the whole concept of the secret mages was clever, as it showed that there were certain Demacian officials who saw the benefits of magic but also wanted to keep it secretly controlled. It was overall a very good outlet for Lux to use her powers.

No idea, it's very strange. Would love to see some Riot clarification! {{sticker:sg-zephyr}}

I'm a girl and would have loved a more Argonian look for a female champ.

Amazing way of wording it!

Exactly! That's what I love about it. You guys put it in better words than I could.

Oh, gosh! I'm afraid I misspoke my question. I know about the multiple skin universes, my query was if Ahri was the first single champ to have two skins telling a story in the same universe.

Loving the Nami skin! For a champ that has so many fantasy type skins it's great to see a tech skin on her.

Definitely a viable idea! One does have to be careful with how much you deviate from the character's silhouette, as in game the character must remain fairly recognizable. having her with both shoulder wings and leaf tails might look great visually but may make her slightly less recognizable, which in a split-second reliant game like League may be an issue. Still, love the idea though I'd have to rework the concept a bit!

Yea, I modeled her hair after the head of a praying mantis, so it's not the most normal hairstyle XD Glad you like the skin!

I mean, it depends on what kind of bra she's wearing. Breasts don't always look the same size, my dude. Looks like her shirt is pretty tight fitting.

Kinda of agree, but I think it's part of League trying to have a more unique take on certain creatures, like how they made Willump look unique compared to a traditional yeti.

Thanks! You're right, they do have small elements of other animals, mostly their ears.

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

Yasuo is also in PROJECT and Jinx is in Star Guardian, so I don't think those universes could coincide with Odyssey/Gungoddess/DarkStar.

You can find my artwork here! https://www.artstation.com/inkroseinc Q; What's your favorite / least favorite part about what you do? My favorite thing by far is being able to design/create characters, creatures, and worlds! This goes hand in hand with being a writer, visual storytelling is a super important and amazing part of being an artist. I love making things that people love and can relate to. https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/012/164/873/large/anastasia-snyder-thunder-thighs-turnaround-by-inkrose98-dcj5uhy.jpg?1533373533 Worst? Probably the sheer amount of time and effort it takes to get to a professional level. Takes dedication! Q; How do you stay motivated? Listening to TONS of music and looking at a bunch of art! Seeing what other people are doing and trying to help yourself get to their level is a great motivator. https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/011/974/712/large/anastasia-snyder-kindred-surprise-by-inkrose98-dcgzc42.jpg?1532386758 Q; Where does your inspiration come from? League of Legends, Star Wars, Disney, Legend of Zelda, Bethesda Games, Blizzard, Fire emblem, Fantasy novels, etc etc... https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/008/977/623/large/anastasia-snyder-zoesmall.jpg?1516422725 Q; What was your favorite work?(song story animation drawing etc) Currently this one! It's a bit old but I can't help but to be very proud of it! https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/008/887/149/large/anastasia-snyder-urbosasmall.jpg?1515919930 Q; If you had your own team to help you produce something (story, music, animation, amusement park, anything) what would you make and what would it be about? Definitely a high-production value tv series based on the characters and world of my book, Dragon Queen: Scarlet Reign! I'm really dedicated to bringing that story to life. It's kinda my art/writing baby. https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/010/424/637/large/anastasia-snyder-fixed-small-aelwen.jpg?1524360400 Q; What place, person, piece of history, song, movie (etc) do you base your characters/art/music off of? (If any) Fantasy concepts that I think might be underutilized in a certain way are always great places to start working. I get a lot of inspiration from a lot of places, it's hard to name them all! https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/008/429/003/large/anastasia-snyder-aelwenredesignsmall.jpg?1512693644 Hope you enjoyed! https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/012/528/617/large/anastasia-snyder-spectral-lakes-poster-by-inkrose98-dcl1yvm.jpg?1535245930

But when watching overwatch shorts I feel like there are lots of moments where the expressions just aren't...there yet. Sometimes they get it right, but often times I feel like a lot of emotion is lost because the intensity in facial expression is lacking. The character doesn't have to be crazy to express dynamic expression, either. Even in my favorite short, "Dragons", one that makes me tear because of how beautiful it is, there are moments where I think "hmm, that could be pushed a bit further." > > And even with Jinx's crazy character, I think that Riot pushed it as far as it could go without it being too much. It's not just about being overly expressive, it's actually the very subtle details in her face, the small smirks, tilt of the head, slight widening of the eye, etc that really "wow" me more than anything else. Again, the character does not have to be super dynamic to express this and Blizzard just doesn't really have this subtle thing really going for them (with some exceptions). > > From an animation standpoint I still think this video shows that Riot has surpassed Blizzard. But I do think that Blizzard has an upper hand at storytelling. Definitely agree, sometimes it feels like the OW character's faces are made of smooth plastic in the cinematics.
