Description
Vel'Koz, was such an honor to work on, the champion team really came together for this. It all started with a simple marker sketch of a squid. The concept went through many different iterations before reaching this point.Β

Hey! I really love Vel'Koz. You did a great job and he's one of my favourite champs to play

So do i need to put my textures in league to ultra rapid HIGH to get this Vel'Koz ?

I like this texture a lot, they re-textured him poorly just so people would buy his 1350 skin.

Why this version is not in the game? It looks better then the one used.

Because Riot isn't a super realistic company, they are more of a cartoony one, just look at other concepts and you will see how AMAZING this game would look if they went with the much more realistic versions.

agreed theyre kinda going for a cartoony look somewhat reminds me of borderlands

I so wish they went with what you had here instead of the revealed model and color scheme.....I really love this concept so much

out of curiosity: when your designing things like champs, skins, etc etc
do you put into consideration things like budget in 3d modeling, re using existing resources (textures, models, coding etc) and what not?
p.s theres always trolls/ppl that take offense to everything and anything, im just curious....

Not at first, no, but I do always design with camera angle in mind always. Sometimes blue sky ideation and a concept push can break new barriers within league current engine constrains. Example the team had to Β came up with new turn tech and animations tweaks to make his tentacles move properly.

Th art you've drawn here looks better than the in-game model, I love the sleekness rather than more bulkiness of the actual body of Vel'Koz, it suits the tentacles better if you know what I mean?

P.S: Am I blind or is it a fourth upper eye on the left sided final concept? (Not the big one, but 4 upper eyes instead of the 3 upper eyes he has in live)
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, at one point he had four eyes, we had to change it to improve readability in game.

So this is the guy hidden at the Creator Viktor's splash background?

Im more hyped for Vel'Koz than i was for Jinx.

So Β basically The big sphere is the real vel'koz and the "body" is just a suit or something like that? it looks that way.
π: 0 β©: 1
It is. However, even though the rest is the body, the armor where his eye is hidden, is almost solid, but when he talks, then it's moving a bit apart. You can see it in some videos on youtube.

A truly beautiful Voidborn and champion. Well done.
