Description
This is my final entry for the Riot art contest that was held over at the Polycount Forums. The goal was to recreate an existing League of Legends character or a new skin for an existing character. I choose to do a visual update for their character Taric. To keep with the style of the league of legends game all final renders are unlit with just pure Diffuse texture.And for those interested, you can see the whole process on how he was made here,Β www.polycount.com/forum/showthβ¦
Modeled in Maya/Zbrush
Textured with Photoshop

Definitely prefer this to his actual rework!

Thanks. I admit I find the official rework a bit lackluster. =/

Man, this is dope!
It'd really be great seeing Taric redesigned like this.

Thanks. I am sure Riot's redesign will be cool too, you know, when they make it 5 years from now.Β Β

It's not exactly 5 years from then, but they are gonna make it and really soon. And I hope it would be as good as yours, they could, and maybe even should, borrow some ideas from you.

Too much gold makes for a slightly too Garen-esque model but other than that this is pretty fucking fabulous.

This is both really good and needed, but with his colourscheme, it portais him as a Demacian wich Taric isn't.
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually, if you take a look at his lore, it stands that Taric's hometown is probably Demacia

Actually, he's from Mount Targon as of his new lore.Β

I have been talking about your concept for aaages! I'm trying not to get too attached to these amazing concept but at the same time, I'm just in love with how you re-imagined him! His facial structure is quite unique and he's so handsome! Rito please!

Thanks so much! Even though he didn't make the final cut I am glad I was still able to share him with so many people.
π: 0 β©: 1
Awww he didn't? That's seriously depressing, man

OH MY GOSH! I LOVE IT!
I love Taric, and the old Art is... old. This is AWESOME!

This sir, is truly Fabulous. It's extremely well done, and honestly looks good enough to have been done by Riot Games themselves and be in the game with very little touching up. The quality blows me away, I can definitely appreciate the amount of work you put into it. Keep up the good work and good luck in future projects! (Please Hire Rito!)Β
PS. Sorry for re-post, just thought I'd put this here as well as on the other picture.
PPS. How long did this project take and how long do projects like this take generally?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks I am glad you like it so much.
As for time spent, I did this piece in about 2.5 months on and off after work and on the weekends. If I was given this assignment at work with an already done concept I would have to bust him out in about 3-4 weeks depending on the amount of iteration and feedback given during the process.Β

Wow this is amazing no more mega-man feet great job man I can definitely see riot using this as Tarics official visual update.

i love it!!! that helmet or whatever it is looks a bit odd to me but in all it is a great art want to try it in game!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks, yeah I think the helmet/circlet thing was one of the harder pieces to come up with.Β

If Riot doesn't add this to the game, the majority of the League fanbase will be outraged I tell you, OUTRAGED!
But in all seriousness, this is a great peace of art and a very nice take on a very old champ, it just looks right.

They shall truly truly truly be outraged.Β Β

If Riot doesn't hire you based on this, and makes this the new Taric, they must be eating cocain with their cornflakes. That, right there, is the fucking shit! Like Release Xin Zhao and Release Poppy melted into one in terms of awesome.
Thumbs up, bred ymer, A+, 70G right in the face and all other kinds of awesome-bacon. I love it!

you turned Garen from Swag to... .well.... Β . . .. . Β . .. .. viable. o_O

I really thought I already commented on this beauty. Winning or not this has to be in the game it's by far the best visual update for Taric. He looks freaking awesome and dazzling at the same time. Also the in-game shots look frigging awesome! Love it!

Thank you very much!Β Β

I want Riot to use your concept. PLEASE RITO. PLS.

This remake is truly outrageous but I do think it looks a bit too Demacian.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks. It wasn't intentional for him to resemble Demacian colors, I just went with what worked the best composition wise, but it kinda works. When Riot does an official VU of him, I imagine they might rewrite some of his lore, him being mysteriously transported here from another world is a little out there, even for Riot. If they do rewrite it, I imagine he would most closely align with Demacia.
π: 0 β©: 1
the new lore says that is he now an inhabitant from demacia
so it will make sense if his vu will look like thisΒ
