>digitalcringe
i remember when they used to give boobas to woman, that is my optni0ng
>not animeSlop
>>7829555Amazing technically but pretty boring
>>7829555artstation slop
Extremely technically impressive for most of it, but some like pic related looks very ai "assisted". a lot of current splash art and from the past 2-3 years has been really shit.
>>7829930Most look kind of corny to me but think there are certain artists that are a cut above the rest that make some really cool ones.
I really like the earlier splashes from when Riot was still ironing out a coherent style but they became really shit as their AD took a turn for the worst with uninspired skin lines and that prevalent inoffensive, smoothed over aesthetic.We still do get really cool shit now and then however so I keep an eye on it.
>>7829960I like this oneBut the others have a kind of implacable flatness to them. They're very cheap and artificial looking.
>>7829966Tencent bought Riot and it was downhill ever since. Slowly started to wring the soul out of the game. Increased chat restrictions, more skin lines, more aggressive monetization, more FOMO, etc.
>>7829555Everything involving Riot is bad no matter what. Don't forget!
>>7829560I agree
first ruan jia now riot is in the slop buckets to you fags. just admit ai turned you all doomerfags hate everything digital post 2020
Slop. Always has been.
>>7830197Riot has always been slop.Next you're going to tell me Blizzard makes high art.
>it's bad because it's popular
>>7829555old ones were 40 times better, new gook aesthetic sucks ass
>>7829555Clearly competent work but doesn't speak to me that much. Some are cool like this one >>7829960 but in general I like Dota's artstyle and artwork better
>>7829564>slop, japan
>>7829555Cool but desu nowadays AIslop could fill the low effort shiny goonerslop market
>>7830530but couldn't AI fill any specific market
>>7829966Completely correct. I have a lot of opinions on this subject, Riot splashes awed me to the point of learning to draw better and I had IronStylus sign my hat at the Season 2 Worlds Championship. A lot of the new ones are chinky and too locked in to the house style but there really are some absolute bangers
>>7829555Shit and ugly digital crap
>>7829555Realistically most of them lack texture and this game forces all of the splash to be doing the same things like standing up front or side or sitting down front or side so a lot of the poses get recycled or even traced over time to time so it can get boring. There's also a lot of problems with the whole same face thing so some skins are really difficult to figure who it's supposed to be. Same with some disrespectful designs like human xerath or wukong abominations.
>>7829555good skills and great effort but overused and overrated. Amateur in idea/storytellingCharacter portraits/splash art should not be in shadow, but they just keep putting a great portion of the face and upper body part in shadow over and over again in multiple splash art that kills the importance of the character.
>>7830312good taste anonearly dota concept art and especially anything that Jim Murray touched is peak modern fantasy for me desu
>>7833300> Character portraits/splash art should not be in shadow, but they just keep putting a great portion of the face and upper body part in shadow over and over again in multiple splash artWhen I first saw kindred splash art I had no idea about wtf I was looking they’re really bad with that shit
>>7829555They all suck. I've never been impressed by any of them and don't play the game or find any of the character designs to be good. It looks like the most generic and derivative West Coast industry slop.Anyone I've seen praising it over the years is always blinded by their love of the franchise over objectively analyzing it.
>>7833874Sixmorevodka drawings were quite good to be honest and it fulfilled what it tried to set out to be which was just narrative/immersive story telling, however they were commissioned by riot and not made by rioters themselves.
>>7833874Even ignoring the feminist angle, always been horrible designs https://gomakemeasandwich.wordpress.com/2011/07/31/league-of-legends-so-much-character-design-fail/
>>7833874>if you like any of it you are blinded by your love of the franchise and THATS IT>no, of course i dont play the game or like the characters or engage with west coast art,why talk if you're not going to say anything? "im addicted to arguing online FUCK YOU WAHHHHHHH" is not something you need to share with others.
