K'sante base splash painting process

[@littlecurrybread]

If anyone of you are reading this, you too can do what Bo does. Start small, paint still lifes, anyone can learn how to render metal or leather. It’s not magic, I promise you. The stuff that takes a little longer is learning figure drawing and composition but it can be learned. I wish you the best of luck on your journey 🛶

[@endhvi7360]

Thank you so much for this, it means a lot to me! As someone who's learning more about digital painting and splash art in particular, Bo is my biggest inspiration. And someday I'll be as good as him, and I'm gonna work for riot too

[@vakuuvoid1680]

A veces es necesario que te digan que tú puedes, gracias!

[@FrozenPrimordial]

I've been digitally drawing for about ~8 months, I'm on the brink of giving up since I've seen little improvements but I'm not going to since I enjoy doing this and giving up is the last thing I want to do. To everyone who reads this, we can do it! :)

[@oreoconsushi1848]

thank u :c

[@dasburstling]

the most impressive part of all of this is Bo somehow keeping track of his layers.

Hahahahh

"... Where did I put the skin layer..."

[@vin4216]

As a person who hates doing lineart, this is why I love Bo Chen's approach. It's loose and saves a lot of time. Thank you for showing us again the process of this amazing artwork. Not even gonna complain not having it in 1080p60. 😆

[@nonono9681]

6:36 but isnt this lineart?

[@vin4216]

@@nonono9681 that's a rough sketch. I'm talking about a clean one.

[@belxxx3045]

I use this method too, however I don't have fancy gadgets or a stylus or anything like that so it's harder for me to clean the sketch up since I do my art by finger om my phone, other than that love this technique though honestly

[@gjorne-4529]

Though this art is really fast, it requires alot of skill to push through with adjusting things should there be revisions :) but you are right, its one of the more fun ways of painting from explorations to finish.

“Wow, K’Sante’s splash is super good!” *Bo Chen posts* “Ohhhh, that’s why”

[@michkemaox4222]

I can feel the amount of time he has as experience in digital art to be at this level

[@3x1e]

Bo literally does all the skins that I like, dark cosmic Jhin, star guardian Akali and now this. Amazing. Great work bro.

[@Feorine]

When you keep repainting & adjusting it is so soothing Also I love seeing you so active with the skins and progress videos. Really motivates me to try and follow you and kinda study how you do stuff

[@bribleu]

Anyone else in awe at the painting of individual threads and fibers in this splash? 😵‍💫 the level of detail is so impressive

[@Tindel26]

NO AI CAN REPLACE THIS TALENT !!

[@snownoart4657]

I really like the sketching phase 😳

[@tmichsan8471]

[@danielmartart]

man i dont get bored of watching you paint, such an inspiration.

[@mosume6413]

this level of rendering is something else

[@neekomarina2782]

The mastery, the composition, his technique in how he renders and the knowledge he gained from painting over the years, I'm just in awe from watching his process. Painting truly feels like magic that can't replicate by a mere AI. I wish, nay, I WANT to be like him someday. He's my inspiration.

[@Purity65dos]

I love your work. It's really amazing to see your approach for the different designs, and your take on perspective. But the rendering is my favorite part. You're a true master of your craft.

[@OneTabbyYeiX]

Dang! Music is absorbed into the artwork, makes me wondering perfect theme of him. So inspirational.

[@limkorvey1929]

I looked up your art station and saw u did a lot of league splash arts and i really love it. Hope u keep on posting them as a speedpaint because i really really enjoy watching all of them.

[@canalbwp6412]

Que profissionalismo deslumbrante, parabéns pela obra !!

[@MatiasBenavides]

I’m really interested to know what was the decision making process in between picking the poses and arriving to the final product. You tried so many cool poses! Why moving to the next one? I would LOVE to know those decisions while watching this. Thanks for sharing!

[@Dogaojuiz]

you are without a doubt my favorite artist at riot, you are an inspiration to me

[@egemenbora]

I love it. I don't understand much about approach or style in this but the quality of the end product is amazing.

[@vincentliu8644]

Star guardian Akali and now K'Sante BO CHEN IS GOATED 🐐

[@ChungMyung0]

I want your drawing class and i finally found it from weibo , but its only for chinese i guess 😢 i hope someday it have eng version for international students ! Love u bo chen

[@haf.gallery]

My first time watching your video coz it appeared in my yt reccomendation. Just start to follow your art documentary, i’m learning this either and i’m stuck in it very often coz lack of skills and experiences. I learned digital illustration by self-taught watching tutorials here and there. Thank you, Dude.

[@ceramonemone]

40:13 about the greenish stroke: does anyone know what kind of settings I should look for in a textured brush to get that kind of look? (matte but visible "holes" in the pattern if that makes sense) I don't like the repetitive ribbon look on mine, it just feels very artifical to me. I'm looking for a more organic look? Thanks in advance!

Not familiar with his art work, but all I saw was the thumbnail and immediately assumed it was a new Cabrakan skin in Smite. Still cool though. But as a Smite fan, this fits perfectly as a Cabrakan skin.

This is awesome

[@moonchildsirius6187]

Just a litte question, what is the problem of Riot with battle cenes splasharts? The ones wich K'Sante is fighting are so good and more interesting than he simple looking a the Sun. Wharever, your art is beautifull anyway, such inspiring!

[@Drae_mon]

I'm thinking, did bo chen made the buildings/bg/animal designs on his own? Or did he have references on how they should look? Because splash arts give out a lot of info on lore so I'm not sure if they're official designs from Riot or Bo Chen made them on a whim and now they're official.

[@ハムハムおいしいですね]

Since this is pretty cultural, some references could have be used to make it have that… feeling idk
