Riot Games League of Legends: Kayle & Morgana Art Blast
Hey, ArtStation community! We’re back for part two of the Riot Games League of Legends Champion team Art Blast.
With the recent release of our newest champion Sylas and an update to our beloved twin sister duo, Kayle and Morgana, 2019 is off to an amazing start.
Today, we’re looking at Kayle and Morgana–The Righteous and the Fallen. Kayle and Morgana are two of the oldest champions in League of Legends. What better way to celebrate their place in League history than with a new visual update?
Updating a champion can be challenging because we want to capture the original essence and charm of the champion but bring them into a more modern style. We really focused on the story of sisters on opposite sides of the spectrum, both dedicated to the Aspect of Justice, with one being ascended versus a dark enchantress. We looked for a way to tell their story through art.
With two champions and many skins, this project was massive in scope and required tremendous team collaboration to pull off. Thank you to the artists who gave these sisters a much deserved more modern look.
We are excited to share the passion, dedication and unique craftsmanship of the League of Legends’ champion art team with the Artstation community. We hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes of what it took to bring these two champions to our players.
