The figures of League of Legends champions

Chirika··10 votes·3,007 views

Good day, friends. I has been a while since I posted any images about my figure's project (it was just too long). Finally I can present you new figures as well as updated ones. http://i.imgur.com/7ZF4FyX.jpg If someone did not see my old thread where I shared my first figures - you can check images below.

Guqin Sona The Maven of Strings. http://imgur.com/a/HVxck

Sivir The Battle Mistress (old and new classic model). http://imgur.com/a/D4DBj

Ahri The Nine-Tailed Fox (two different models). http://imgur.com/a/TjUQg

We tried about best to improve Ahri’s figures so here we go. This is the list of changes: • Added fur tails so Ahri’s tails now look more realistic (tails can take any form and be different colors); • Improved details in Ahri’s clothes – size and patterns; • Put jewelry to Ahri’s clothes like she has in her splash-art; • Put improved orb in Ahri’s hand (orb can be very different - colors and picture inside of it); • Changed the color to more dark red (I don’t know if you can count this as improvement but I think it looks better). You can see photos below. http://imgur.com/a/qRaZe

And finally we finished the figure of Syndra The Dark Sovereign – you can check photos below. http://imgur.com/a/cGI94

All figures are fully handmade, material used – porcelain, wood (for a stand), acrylic dyes and different stuff (depends on figure). You can check out gallery on devianart – there are a lot of different stuff out there: http://lanasu57.deviantart.com/gallery/ We will be glad to hear any feedback you can provide. Thank you.

Damn. There are really nicely done -- Sivir and the new Ahri especially.

The only one I'm not sold on is Syndra. She stands a little rigid, I think, and it's a shame the balls have to be resting on the stand. The detail and paint job are still incredible though.

I'd love to see more! Of what, I'm not really particular: I just like seeing more art!

Thanks for comment. You know it was very hard to create Syndra because of her flying figure and orbs. Maybe in the future we will make different pose of hands and head but the problems with orbs remains. There is no place for it except stand but it does not look good (unfortunately). Be sure more are coming. We are thinking about Elementalist lux – all her 10 skins – this will be really cool collection.

You could consider using transparent plastic rods or sheets to allow for some more aggressive poses (floating Syndra with floating orbs, for example). It's a common technique used in things like superhero statues, and might work here.

Ok. Thank you for idea but can you provide any images so I can see it live?

Transparent pole holding up Superman.

Solid pole holding up another Superman.

I don't have a link to one using plastic sheeting though, as that was just an idea off the top of my head.

Basically, it DOES detract from the visuals a tiny bit -- bit it can more than make up for that if you can do more exciting poses that draw attention away from the support structure.

The problems is that figures made of porcelain and I am just afraid that this stick won’t survive the weight of the figure. I will discuss this matter with my friend maybe we can find solution and this will be one more step towards improvement.

Another solution would be to copy her recall pose, where she's crouched on the ground. If you need to put the balls on the ground, add some holes for them to rest in and details to the platform so that it looks like they cracked the ground by being pulled straight down.

You might want to check Anime figures and statues. There are hundreds of examples.

Pretty nice idea - i really should think about it. Thanks.

I mean, it's cool and all, however, they aren't proportional. The heads are either a tad small, or too big (in Syndra's case) and the faces are quite off. The necks are also unnaturally long.

I would recommend you go try to model the human figure properly -- it takes a TON of practice, especially on a small scale.

So yeah, the critique is accurate, but it's also pretty damn good work for someone who, I imagine, hasn't spend hundreds and thousands of hours perfecting the art of small-scale human sculpting. :P

So perfect? Nah. But it's still pretty fantastic fan work. :)

The Djinn (NA) - less than a minute ago I would recommend you go try to model the human figure properly -- it takes a TON of practice, especially on a small scale.

I'm trying to be constructive man... I'm only saying this because I am relatively experienced with "modeling a human figure properly". You can't really say what you did. :/

But I agree, it's good work.

My apologies! No offense was meant -- it's just been my experience that few people know exactly how hard it is to do human musculature and structure properly. I guess the intended light-hearted tone of my comment didn't convey well via text. Noted for future situations. :(

R181 votes

Ah I see. Looking back, my comment seemed a bit harsh. It's just that the faces take away from the rest of the figure.

Chirika1 votes

Thank you for a comment. You know there is always place to improve – perfection is our goal but you cannot reach it. I can say – we can improve figures indefinitely and still you always can find something you don’t like.

R181 votes

I never strive for perfection, but to improve bit by bit. The body and clothes of your Ahri model are good, but the pre-update face was better IMO.

TimX24968B1 votes

they look amazing, but the faces of some of them look a bit... "off"

Chirika2 votes

Yeah, I know about faces – I will discuss this matter with my friend because it should be improved.

TimX24968B1 votes

nice. None of the champions that I play would probably fall similar to the above champions (garen, tryndamere, darius, olaf, etc. just to name a few), so IDK if those would be a viable request. Thats really amazing that its all handmade with porcelain

Oelyk1 votes

Poses need to be more dynamic IMO, how would you imagine them posing(besides the Ahri ones, uh, idk.)

Otherwise I wish I had half your talent, how did you make them?

Chirika1 votes

Well, unfortunately the porcelain makes its own limitations (it is not plastic or clay which are more flexible). Since we already have models of Sivir, Sona, Ahri and Syndra – we can change their poses anytime soon. Of course it will take some time but it will be much easier than creating new champion’s figure. The process of creation is very long and hard. It will take me a couple of hours to describe full process so let me describe few steps:

  1. Creating clay model of future figure – creating body (also choosing pose) and face, when you finish with this you can put clothes and other details (mostly the hardest part);
  2. When you finished with model create first rough figure – improving its details, face and body so it will look the way you like (trying to find harmony – looking at it from different angels for very long time since it is figure and not just digital art);
  3. When you finally finished with model of figure and prepared form for future use you can try to create first figures (figures around 3-4 pieces – you cannot create only one because it can be damaged during baking);
  4. When figures baked you can start painting it and again all of them because you can ruin figure by your mistake during painting.
  5. When you finished painting you can put figure to stand and add some accessories – jewelry, weapons and etc.
  6. Here we go – your figure or figures is finished. All process takes around one month – to finish absolutely new figure.

Need more Taliyah

Chirika1 votes

You know there are very little good arts of Tailyah. To make figure you need very good material (models, faces, arts and etc.) of champion. Unfortunately I cannot find such things for Tailyah yet. Besides I never thought about her as character for figure – I cannot say I don’t like her just cannot fit her into figure.

That's fine. That work is incredible ######even without Taliyah

Fizz and Anivia

Chirika1 votes

You know my friend don’t like champions like fizz and I cannot change his mind yet (I wanted him to begin making xayah and rakan figure but I have to hold them). Anivia can be very good figure but she is on plan for future because we would like to finish priority characters.

XxDRAGONsAK47xX1 votes

Doesn't like fizz..? But... Everyone likes Fizz D:

And yeah, Anivia would be sick. Wish I had an Anivia figure. Or Fizz.
