Akali

Akali primarily based on the concept art by Jason Chan for League of Legend's Awaken trailer. Of course, I looked at the in-game models and splash art too :)

I tried making something a bit more stylized this time around. I've seen a lot of the stuff from YCF and others which I really liked, so wanted to do something more towards that and it was really fun! This kind of clashed with the concept and in-game model at times, like the tattoo, so I took the liberty to change it. Something great about taking a break from working on a project is that I forget how long it took to originally do something, which meant I can redo stuff without feeling much pain over it. Particularly difficult parts were the tattoo where I was debating whether to keep the original that didn't quite work or redesign it, and the rope around the waist being very bulky.

Anyways, hope you like it!
