Marauder Kalista - Splash Art Painting Process League of Legends 60fps

[@jiojji2000]

may i ask what technique did you use to remove the lineart? its so good i cant- 😭😭😭

[@deivcalviz]

I basically colored the lineart to whatever color is underneath then reduce it's opacity and merge it to solid layer underneath.. I have a tutorial about that specific technique if you are interested www.artstation.com/a/1142981

[@rodolflum3444]

hour worth for free.. soo underated you need to have amillion view for a serious art like this.

[@bakuhakudraws5603]

I think the most impressive/daunting thing about watching these to me is glancing over at your layer palette and seeing something labeled 'layer 2376'

[@deivcalviz]

Lol dont worry about that. Its a bug. The real layer count sits at 100-200 layers.. still a lot haha. I think the bug happens when i duplicate PSDs many times.

Another gem from Sir Deiv! Thank you for posting these long videos sir. It really helps a lot.

[@pheo1299]

Oh yay more length video!

[@TheMihig]

Either this is like 100 hours of work, or you're an absolute madlad David.

[@deivcalviz]

IT IS 100 hours of work! That is the typical amount of time to do a splash art. It takes lots of research and lots of versions and revisions. A personal artwork can take just 1/4 of that time.. XD

[@TheMihig]

@@deivcalviz and probably also decades of art experience. Did you go to art university or are you self taught? I'm an art newb, being doing it for only about 3 years, i have dreams of doing it professionaly one day, and i'm wondering if one can reach professional level by being completely self taught.

[@deivcalviz]

@@TheMihig I'm mostly self taught. I started learning from tutorials in Deviantart then eventually started watching youtube videos. I also started reading books like Color and Light and Andrew Loomis, etc. Until now I'm still studying other people's art to improve. Just keep studying and you will get there!

[@Anonacho5459]

Incredible work! How did you learn to render so well?

[@deivcalviz]

It's a mix of training yourself to be observant, using lots of references, learning how to visualize things in 3D, and lots of practice. :)

[@radughiordunescu6650]

How do you became an ilustrator to Riot Games? Do you apply to take the job or there is another way to do it?

I got lucky because I was contacted by West Studio to help them do art for LoL. I was already trying to copy the LoL style years before I got hired. It showed in my portfolio which they saw.

[@kisha9466]

what pixel size does the finished painting have? I'm impressed by your work btw looking forawrd to draw like this someday

[@anryzez622]

how you can change the color into grayscale and keep picking color on top of them 49.01

[@anryzez622]

49:01

[@deivcalviz]

Good Question. Just click here View>Proof Setup>Custom>Dot Gain 20% That is just a temporary grayscale and colors are still there. Press that again to disable it or Ctrl + Y

[@Jase_arts]

how do u know what kind of values to put. Is it just due to material studies? Pls enlighten me.

[@deivcalviz]

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. :)

[@metylsalicylat]

Wow it's so awesome! Where are you from bro?

[@deivcalviz]

Thanks! I'm from the Philippines but living in Sweden now.

[@maxendregiraudeau8625]

I really love your process videos ! How do you receive feedback without being in the L.A. Riot studio ? Is it more complicated?

[@deivcalviz]

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.

[@zerostatic1209]

Can I ask can you just draw character's without any reference like in here 0:34 you even know the dimension of shape it's crazy I envy ya in a good way xD..

[@deivcalviz]

I still use references but its still important to keep doing studies so you memorize the poses. Actually poses repeat again and again in different splash art if you pay attention

[@ivan-ie2gl]

do you always used smudge in blending and what type of brush in smudge? tnx...

[@deivcalviz]

If you download my brushes it is called Blender by Nebezial. It's in the main.abr file I either use this to blend or just a normal soft round brush

i have a small question because i dont use photoshop nad got a bit confused. Do you do the rendering all in one layer for the whole body?

Not sure.. maybe league of legends invented the term. Maybe they called it like that because it feels like splashing out of the screen? I dunno... It's actually called a marketing illustration because it is designed to sell something.
