HOUNDS OF IRON | Naafiri Cinematic - League of Legends
We Are Royale
This project was a HUGE team effort. Each chapter was led by different artists, but everyone on the team contributed to each one. We blended 2D, 2.5D, Cell, and 3D techniques to create the final product. My role was as the 3D lead for the tombs transformation scene. While the core elements of the scene were in 3D with hand illustrated textures, we integrated cell animations on top of the 3D to blur the lines of what the viewer was seeing.
