HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHhaahahahahaaaaaa man same me, I was like wtf did he just flip the picture and I didn't notice any bullshit ????
Riot Games artists helped re-inspire me to start drawing again after being on and off with it over the few years. I've stuck to it this time and I've improved a lot. The me from a few years ago wouldnt've believed that I would reach the level of skill I have now. I've realised that talent isn't what makes a good artist. It's dedication. I have huge respect for the artists.
@@tanmaykumar4561 yes like if you interviewed a chef and were like "hey at the end of the interview could you make me a delicious meal? I paid you for the interview" Or what about a movie director "hey could you direct my movie idea because I paid you for this 10 minute interview?"
@@jduyker The work isn't seperate but part of the interview. So that movie director will turn you down if your movie idea will take more than 10 minutes of his time
@@tanmaykumar4561 wow you're objectively wrong. The interview money buys you the interview, that's it. It's not like you get more if it's easy for them to do it or doesn't take time.
The artwork of League of Legends is beyond incredible, I hate it when people generalise the game as trash and overlook all the amazing artwork. Splash arts/illustrations and cinematics are all some of League of Legends most under appreciated elements, the game itself has nothing on all the creativity and skill that goes into it.
They do get noticed though. Many people appreciate the art of LOL even though they don't know the artist. It makes sense because Riot doesn't have to give credit because they own the right for that artwork. The good news is, Riot knows that many people appreciate those illustrators splash art that's why they keep on hiring them.
Chengwei Pan is frickin amazing, Jesus Christ. In fact, all the Riot artists are. Their splash arts are some of the most beautiful art pieces I've ever seen. The level of quality and detail required in each one is insane.
Not a concept drawing. He's creating compositional pieces. Not nearly enough to be a finished piece, just enough to show the complete composition. Several will be made and one will be greenlit to be made into the characters final splash art, which can take up to a month to complete.
rawr Oh damn so splash color pieces like this take a long time huh? My heart almost sunk because I thought those because were complete like, within a day/week or so.
The thumbnails are necessary when making compositional pieces, especially if you're hired for the job - the idea you like the most may not be the one your employer likes most. I assume greenlit phase would be about showing the employer your basic ideas and only after one of them is picked you'd start actually rending it. Saves time and sanity
Interviewer: "As a challenge... I would like you to.... draw me. In the League of Legends style." Artist: "OH. HAHAHA-" Interviewer: "As a hero. With a sword. A good guy. A good guy hero with a sword please." Rlly couldn't help but cringe at that one, every artist is tired of hearing about it already.
@@yonnah6477 Maybe, but 1000? I get that their job probably comes with a lot of changes they have to incorporate, so having the layers to make those minor changes in size, shape, etc. is good. But goddamn that's gotta be a nightmare to navigate! haha
This is one of the reasons I cannot take my eye off the loading screen before the game. The splash arts. As an artist myself I've always admired the artists for league, I aim to be as good as you guys. :') Kudos to everyone.
Yeah, you can do it Drae! I aim to be that good also. Have you got any art on your channel. I'm about to go look. If not post some stuff. I'm just starting out, so it'd be cool to have an artists crew to encourage, and be an audience for each other.
I think that in fact you can learn more by just watching those pros do their work without any explanation than by watching some artist just talking gliberish on youtube
@@jeremylam6060 100% agree! I've learned shading tips and lighting a lot better by just watching people draw, rather than by the step by step tutorials for them. Kinda helps you by showing and not telling.
a lot of young artist see these beautiful art and then try it on their own and get frustrated at their work. One thing they don't realized is that you don't get there overnight, it takes years to achieve that level. Practice your fundamentals don't jump straight into detailing.
8:17 layer mode for light experiment Need to translate it, not sure what it is 9:07 color balance to get some more warmth into shadows It’s like less control ver of rgb curves in matte painting workflow Thus also seems to be how he mainly gets that unique blue to purplish mood he typically has, it’s not just blue but has something else to it= color balance helps to establish that as a main bg mood in thumbnail will bled over during refinement stage 9:30 he uses blur and then mask to get camera focus effect 9:51 seems to have a list of different filter effects for post processing like with camera photography or film It’s a trick he says that riot does often to get that splash art look Another way to think of it is like filters for Instagram pics, By doing this you treat it as a photo/film screen cap rather than just a painting and that’s potentially adding that cinematic camera look to the splash art look 10:52 he does something to get the color edge burn effect, not entirely sure what it is, I believe Steve Corman explains it too 11:05 so basically after doing all this then he can just focus on render, essentially big pic stuff is done for the most part But I think the additional lights added during render makes it more impactful so I dint actually think big oic stuff is necessarily over
I'm sure you will! You just gotta do it in your own pace and be patient. At the start of my study I wanted to become a programmer but ended up as an artist and learned things I could never imagine. You'll get there for sure!
So good. This kind of video is still not common enough, ones without fluff, meandering commentary. Thanks Insider and Chengwei for making it, hope Insider makes more videos like this.
this is basically another step for fulfilling my dream of actually working for the artistic department of Riot and illustrate some of the champions from LoL and characters from valorant. I really liked a lot this video, it explained a lot of necessary things and basics before going in depth, but i would love to see one of those Riot artist twitch streaming their work from home so i could try and learn more about this art style. More about brushes, etc.
Wow, 🎉this was so much fun to watch and I learned a lot! Thanks Harry for all the hard work to make this interview happen. His art is insanely good! I love the stylization of the characters in Legends! Esp the music video Legends Never Die! 💪Keep up the great content! I love how confident the artist is! I wish I could watch him do a detailed process of a final piece.
Thanks a lot for the video. I think this format should be applied up to all tutorials. One guy asking, and the other is replying while drawing. Thats perfect
god iv been yearning for some insight on the art process for the splash and stuff for so long. You can find alot of them on art station but seeing them work on a piece like that in real time is so interesting. The best part of league is the splash arts yo.
I feel that artists are really under paid and under-appreciated. Artists bring new realities to our world through visuals and entertainments, yet our starting pay is lower than a fastfood employee.
Same! I promise myself to get better and someday work at a giant video game company to make artworks as pretty as the pros (preferably riot games to make artworks for valorant and league of legends)
That's so amazing. I'm always amazed by people who can just nail those loose expressive strokes and build figures before details. That's a constant struggle for me and some people just have it down! Hopefully I'll get there
I love Proco's videos they are super entertaining and educational. Every single video helped me in some kind of way with my art career bUT I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE TO HEAR THE SOUND AT 14:30
Riot haven't missed with their skins and splashes for a very long time now. Absolutely elite work. I wish the skins were this good back in 2012 when I was spending money.
I lack discipline. Every time I draw something I resort to sculpting out the scapes rather than making a sketch first. This leads to crazy proportions and a lack of detail.
My friends, siblings, and I loved League because of the art that they have. We love watching the cinematics and reading most of the lore related stuff before we play a casual game together.
Most people overlooked commercial art as actual art and not those you could hang in galleries. Yet it is the one that caught most people attention, there are people behind this giving it their 100%

@@GinkgoBee he gets paid for that by working at Riot. he put very minimal effort into that sketch and it is probably never going to be found anywhere outside of this episode. the interviewer was pretty selfish to ask for a self portrait when he could've asked for a live sample of something else but it's literally not even 10 minutes of time. what would he have charged for that, like $5?
@@booplet woah woah there $5? Even that's low. Artists are taught that when they're selling their work, to never underpay themselves, even if it's a sketch. Your work matters, no matter how small.
Really liked to hear that pen display is not a necessity. I find using a pen tablet rather difficult and seeing it here used so perfectly gives me the motivation to keep practicing.
That would have taken me so long holy shit. And then when he said, “As soon as your done with the thumbnail stage-“ and I was all like “THUMBNAIL STAGE?!”
Love the in-depth analysis of the pipeline. would have loved to see the english version of Photoshop, since I can't really make out most of the settings/tools used

I guessed Chengwei Pan was a good artist, but drawing Insider THAT good in only 10 MINUTES is just amazing!
8:17 layer mode for light experiment
Need to translate it, not sure what it is
9:07 color balance to get some more warmth into shadows
It’s like less control ver of rgb curves in matte painting workflow
Thus also seems to be how he mainly gets that unique blue to purplish mood he typically has, it’s not just blue but has something else to it= color balance helps to establish that as a main bg mood in thumbnail will bled over during refinement stage
9:30 he uses blur and then mask to get camera focus effect
9:51 seems to have a list of different filter effects for post processing like with camera photography or film
It’s a trick he says that riot does often to get that splash art look
Another way to think of it is like filters for Instagram pics,
By doing this you treat it as a photo/film screen cap
rather than just a painting
and that’s potentially adding that cinematic camera look to the splash art look
10:52 he does something to get the color edge burn effect, not entirely sure what it is, I believe Steve Corman explains it too
11:05 so basically after doing all this then he can just focus on render, essentially big pic stuff is done for the most part
But I think the additional lights added during render makes it more impactful so I dint actually think big oic stuff is necessarily over
That list of filters is the 'color lookup', you can find it in the adjusts menu
10:00 it’s his version of thumbnailing color options
Instagram filter idea
What is the app he use
"can you draw me?"
"sure"
*starts drawing a cockroach*
Lol thats a nice roast
This artist is actually a legend. This is my first time to see Chengwei and seeing how humble he looks is amazing.
The interviewer was great, he immediately asked the question that I wanted an answer for
"can you draw me?"
I REALLY LOVE TO LEARN HOW TO DRAW SPLASH ART JUST LIKE THIS.
I really want this as my future job, I hope I'll be good enough soon to be one. Watching stuff like this just gives me inspiration
I hope you can do it someday :D
Hi paula
Just remember that concept art pays less than splash art
