Key visual for the Chroma Crash skin line in Wild Rift. During my time at Riot, this was my first key visual from scratch to final deliverable.iot. I would like to give a special thanks to my art director Ross Kurtis!

The background story of this skin line is fascinating. A group of rebels bring color and creativity to a parallel universe where everything is rigid, boring, and colorless. My goal was to showcase the beautiful designs of the champions while also conveying the story in the illustration. I enhanced the vibrancy and saturation of the overall image to bring out the colorfulness of the character designs, and emphasized the key concept of the background story - color.

It was a challenge to paint colorful characters on top of a colorful background. To solve this, I hid the buildings in shadow to limit the background color to a certain range, while enhancing the light cast on the characters. I also selected a dynamic moment (the characters' movements and paint) that contrasts with the stillness of the background. Thus, the characters stand out well against the background.
