[@Lisa-ow2sm]

I’ve always wanted to see the process behind the Valorant style, thank you for taking the time to record this!!

[@oniking7460]

Me too. Like they are so amazing.

[@noname-codm4590]

I felt like the conceptual art just goes straight to marketing art🤣

[@dilenued1963]

How did you make that

[@jikito3199]

This dude is so lucky. He has a wife recovering his files xDD

[@dilenued1963]

Hey man. Atleast he made art. The references are from a team not one person.

i wasnt decent at league but the art, music, designs and characters is what kept me going. i love league and the art so much. valorant is starting to become the same story, i suck at the game but i really love the art and the art team, i really want to get better so i can stay in touch. this video is great, thank you for sharing your process!

[@rafaelhanzen]

Hey, that is me

[@Crosemyheart]

DUDE THE REASON I PLAY VALORANT WAS BECAUSE OF REYNA'S ILLUSTRATION. This inspires me so much that I went back to drawing ! Thank you lmao that was out of nowhere but yea thanks!

[@amilustraciones9572]

Just downloaded the game and saw these AMAZING illustrations, gosh, he's great. Im gonna steal some stuff from him, hah.

[@nivelle420]

samee but with viper! I love their character design and concepts, plus some agents with their respective culture applied to their design too!

[@medul10alpha31]

I love their character design and i was looking for tutorial similar to this so thanks a lot.

[@jinniebaby]

honestly one of the reasons i got /still get very pumped abt valorant is bc of the branding / graphic design / art style riot's using for it. It's so cool and seeing ur process behind the character's official splasharts was so nice !! i love it sm !

[@brianbongbk]

I almost had a feeling it was a vector artwork. Im so thankful this was in my feed

[@marcocantoni8796]

I CANT BELIEVE U ARE ON YT OMG!!! I CANT TELL HOW MUCH I THANK YOU!.. Im looking forward on learn this style...

[@PeppermintGentleman]

The bluescreen!!! I groaned , knowing this feeling haha

[@iAmLukeeee]

thanks so much for showing your process with one of these, I'm obsessed with your character art for valorant! Seeing the process makes this level of art feel attainable, thank you!

[@glowingeyes5567]

As a Killjoy main, I thank you. Edit: Ctrl + Save As whenever I have big adjustments; I end up having 13 files or more but it's perfectly safe (and then i upload backup on gdrive just to be sure. Learned it the hard way.)

[@kkh7454]

Omfg he's so gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood! I really want to be like him and draw with fun and passionate attitude.

[@LaEuSei]

The first time I saw killjoys art i fell in love, im so glad i get to see how it was made. Thank you so much for recording it and explaining everything behind the process!

[@g-hmd]

awesome video, i have had art block for like 3 months and have barely drawn but i've got into valorant in the mean time and loveeee the character art. i'm going to draw the cool cat soon and want to be able to replicate the style a little bit so this video is pretty awesome to have as a reference. thank you!

[@peardraws]

I was going to draw killjoy when I came across this video. It was a pleasure to see the drawings of a master like you. I would appreciate if you make more videos like this.

[@Luuzy6]

It's so fascinating to see the process of that, I absolutely love the Valorant art style

[@marvelousanimal]

thank you, I always wanted to see how these splasharts were made!

[@kkuryoo]

It always feels so refreshing to listen to the background story nor process of these kind of ilustrations, like, I could've never imagined that you almost lost the drawing because you didn't saved it, and it could've been diferent for the better or worse. Anyway, I enjoyed this video, and now I'm probably going to think about it everytime I see Killjoy.

[@ianbarretoart]

Recently I saw another artist giving the advice about saving more than one file but he didn't explain why. Now I know. Also I was very curious about the process of painting a Valorant-stylized piece, thanks for sharing!

[@noxlotl_]

OMG YES!! i love the Valorant art and I really love the style so I've been staring at them trying to figure it out

[@badrel2770]

the art is nothing short of amazing, but watching you drawing in that FPS is eye soothing

[@EatSumMorChkin]

If you did viper can you please post the process for her painting, its one of my favorite designs

[@deborahv.3402]

Damn I strive to paint/draw like you one day Such an awesome work

[@anavrinmidia9735]

Omg I would sit and cry so badly for this blue screen moment! I always save in 3 differents files my work because I have a really bad PC and now after what you share with us, I will continue to do that with a better pc too x) You did an incridible work! mostly with what happen to you at the end, thank you for the video

[@frehesh.4386]

i absolutely love your artstyle

[@ZEBASS]

This is a gorgeous piece, and I liked your comments on it! Whenever I see something as cool as this I think " I SHOULD TRY USING LESS LINES, LESS BLENDING, MORE BOLD SHAPES!" but it's kinda a slow process for my brain to let it sink in. Gotta keep on pushing... thanks for the motivation!

[@matheusshigeo156]

I would love to watch more of your process in illustrations like this. This grafic style is amazing.

[@kirillsubbotin8380]

I am not good at art, and also didn’t finish this video, but put a like and freaking love this art style. But anyone know, the actual style name of such arts?

[@GeneScribbles]

🤗✨ this so awesome! Ill try that method! Doing black and white first before coloring it

[@StarvEgoFeedSoul]

DUUUUDE , GREAT WORK, TNX FOR SHARE

[@tacticslc4805]

It's super cool, those shapes, so clean style, so the secret is to use lasso techniques hmm

[@EL_Newman]

Awesoome!! I remember seeing your Valorant illustrations on the website. I loved it so much I wanted to see if had a KZbin channel with some speed paints or something. And you did! But you didn’t have any videos on your Valorant illustrations. I really wanted to see your process on them, because I also really love that graphic style. So I was so excited when I saw this video. With narration nonetheless. Thank you so much senpai!🙏🏼

[@tuananhle7009]

Your artwork is awesome. I just want to tell in CC 2017+, you can flip the canvas by View -> Flip, much faster than Edit ->Flip

[@julianojulio4096]

Thanks for sharing the process! Really amazing

[@jayllustrates7281]

Great video! Thank you 🥰🙏🏻

[@kei1340]

I just found you and OH MY GOD where have you been all my life?! You're amazing, I love the way you do environments, it's simple yet so interesting. You inspire me to get so much better!

[@ejay3k]

Love her, love you. I hope we get more of these :D

[@ElliotKwan]

Ooo. So you are the artist.!!! Love it

[@yooni5887]

Killjoy’s art and character design is my favorite 🥺 just so you know 💓

[@deityiconarts199]

love the videos, this one is my most favorite. Hope to see more videos

[@trudela5398]

How!!? you are dope at landscape and character art!!!

[@kevdavern]

I love your videos and your art style is there any chance that you could possibly do a bit of a more beginner tutorial on how you use layers on photoshop and the kind of brushes you use! Big fan love to see more

[@ahona691]

The blue screen at 9:48 hurt so much. I could feel his panic.

[@nicolaegirnet5175]

I just love your personality

[@littlecurrybread]

It's amazing we're seeing the process behind game art that is going to be seen around the world in Valorant's marketing. It's a front row seat to art and marketing at the same time, amazing.

[@zz-kn3nj]

Redrawing the lineart to read the shape correctly is a very useful tips I've ever found for a while! Thanks so much! And also, yeah always make another copy of your psd and consistently ctrl + s guys not gonna lie, I had several accidents like suddenly my laptop die etc and it cost me so much. Anyway very fun and interesting video! I really love to see your speedpaint with explanations like this further sir! Really love your works! Gonna try out the game soon xD

[@willblaisdell3888]

Can you please do a your analysis. The character looks so cool and well designed

[@nine-vi7rw]

Hope you keep posting more, your videos are soo good and helpful!! 💕💕

[@JM-vl3cy]

Man this is so good and clear. Would love to see breakdowns of other upcoming characters if you can. Instant sub.

[@Drstrange3000]

Incredible Job!! I save so often and make so many files for reasons like yours haha.

[@AmanaHB]

This is amazing thank you so much again for sharing your process and thoughts! The character reminds me a lot of TB Choi, did they design her by any chance?

[@rakasaputra2199]

this is really amazing, give a lot of insight for the process, love your works!

[@vadstart]

Another useful tip to prevent losing files is to keep your working file on a Dropbox synced folder. This way you have access to all the previous versions of it (a new one is created each time you save the file) and if the current version is corrupted you can easily rollback to your last save.

[@THEMAN12039]

Cool style super inspirational!

[@thenamesmango7235]

It would be amazing to see a real time tutorial from you!

[@chrx6089]

I was trying to emulate the Valorant style! Finally this video came to follow and fail miserably. Love your art dude! Bought your brushes and it became my favorite brush set

[@rashr591]

great work, really thank you for sharing your process!

[@tyra3264]

I'm a primarily a Leauge player but this makes me want to play Valorant :0

[@StarvEgoFeedSoul]

I'M A DOTA2 PLAYER BUT THIIS ART .... AHHHHHHH

[@miksdickinson]

Awesome! Thanks, Atey! It's cool to see/hear you analyze characters as opposed to environments.

[@teathomas]

I don’t remember subscribing to you or what video I encountered of yours, but I am SO glad I did. I saw this illustration online earlier today and loved it so much, and then I find in my sub box I get to see and hear how it was done! So impressed, love your work!

[@nuvodraws3007]

This was such a great video man! I think im gonna stick to black and white till i feel more confident.

[@carlostano]

Man, is there anything you can't paint? Your enviroments are awesome, so are your characters..... Great stuff!!

[@collazoconcepts2765]

Super Helpful video as always!

[@mrwhitey2027]

So.. Play with shapes on shadows and forms, cool cuz i love this coloring style and lasso tool do you have any other tips

[@AlexNinniku]

GIANT thanks for the video! I wanna try this pipeline by myself.

[@ezbecilla4791]

You know when drawing an oc in Neon character design I got blue screen too and i got depressed So many progress just to come back at the head part....after many days I got back at it again and finished it tho Lovely video really helped me in creating valo art style too :3 THANK YOUUUU~

[@THERMAN_BLACK]

i love your painting! please show the process for reyna too!!!

[@philippruizlozano]

OMG the crash was so unfortunate tho 😨. But luckily you just resolved it. It ended up looking amazing. Thank for sharing your process! 🙏

[@b0fa968]

love your work, ive also been noticing your name come up a lot since i started to follow you, like in the patch notes where you selected your favourite fanart! i thought that was really cool and hope to see it continued, maybe i will even get a chance on there eventually LOL (unlikely)

[@runakanishi]

Feels bad for the blue screen, man! I find it a bit difficult to paint in a graphical way like Valorant style, but at the same time I still have a lot to learn hAhahah Anyway, you did a wonderful job with the character!!

[@MSDigitalForge]

Hey, great art and style thank you for sharing! As an professional artist you should consider version and revision control for your local files that way you always have a backup if something happens and you can also revisit your earlier versions. I recomend Tortoise Svn since it's more easy to use and all you need is a server to stash your files on.

[@rhodelucas]

Oh boy, that BSOD has gotten before me as well, SMH microsoft

[@supermaxg]

lol that BSOD had me screaming like it happened to me...

[@Sean-pv1nw]

This style inspired my personal style so much, if you ever read this comment I'd be curious as to what your favorite character to paint was?

[@zchrissu]

Awesome I really like the style from valorant art 👍

[@ainajohn4099]

Very nice tutorial and lively video 😊

[@e.wardeeen]

this is so awesome! learned a lot by watching this!

[@bai7875]

loved watching your process and hearing your insights on the project! instant sub!! :)

[@ev5530]

OMG its just amazing! I think i will start using lasso too!

[@Helkeii]

I love your art and i loving the game

[@amilustraciones9572]

Love it!

[@imjustruhi]

I love your style! Thank you for continuing to be amazing and inspiring!

[@wmd2556]

Yes finally, your process for valorant work!

[@aaronjohndeguia8610]

Thank you so much for this! this helped me a lot!

[@twat3323]

damn i was wondering who made the art bc it was so fuckin cool :000000

[@chopthatpanda]

awesome work, i had just started some fanart of her, this design might beat vipers as my favourite

[@canoners]

My suggestion is to put your PSD inside DropBox and work on that file. Cause DropBox saves your file history, so if anything bad happens, you can just roll back to a previous save (provided that it uploaded).

[@okcyr7037]

Love your work ! Really ! So fresh and dynamic ! ! Just, there is a place where we can the full video or something ?

[@jir7371]

AMAZING! Excuse me how much time did you spend painting all that illustration?

[@rathodmukendra8924]

Just subscribed you.thanks for process.

[@Dianasck8042]

Amazing!

[@tylerpratt1269]

I'm so sorry your file got corrupted!!! That same thing happened to me about a month ago when I was preparing art for a challenge and it is an awful feeling to lose several days work. Killjoy turned out amazing though!

[@Alvillion]

Thanks for sharing sir❤️

[@shaggybro4551]

That was amazing and very helpful! Also I never met an artist who said they love drawing backgrounds till now 😭😂💗💗💗

[@belomettinavyy1068]

Omg you actually did it! I was hoping for a behind the scenes of Valorant characters!

[@Jwhit00]

I liked the video but I would like to see the entire video. What I mean by the entire video is the jump cut from 3:22 to 3:23 within the video. In real-time, you did a lot more work on the piece and I would like to see it. Love your artwork and keep it up.

[@juliettenavarrete4127]

Momento paint 😎

[@noxlotl_]

I hope youll also record the future agents
