Mind of the Virtuoso

Ok if we ignore the ones who are spooky spooks And seperate it between full masks, Half masks and full helms (Which ironically, J4 and Panth and such arn't proper full helms sure they cover most of the face but its not akin to say the Medevil helms) we have

3 Full masks (Bard, Shaco, Kindred) 9 Half masks (Malz, Kass, Singed, Swain, Akali, Zed, Shen, Kennen, Yorik) 2 full face helm (Naut Azir) 6 Helms covering most of their face (In regards to armour thickness and how much of the face you can see) (J4 (only just), Tryn, Panth, mord (Very debatable) Olaf, Kayle, 6 Helms covering part of the face (The Armour is much slimmer and typically doesn't have as thick jaw gaurds) (Kalista, Sej, Nami (or is that a Tiara?) Shyv, Syndra, Voli 4 Eye pieces (Jax, Yi, Heimer, Corki) 2 with a bit of the helm covering their top half (Aatrox (?) Liss)

Viktors is kinda up in the air, on one hand its placed over his head but at the same time it's cybernetcis soooo, add 1 more if you are that person Nocturne is ignored cause...erm.....is he pure darkness or does darkness wear clothes? Urgot is Urgot which makes it hard to deside (I mean can it be called a mask if it's basically grafted onto his face?) and Spookies ignored because its debatable if it's their clothing or them as a being, except maybe mord and Karthus And no mention of hoods cause...they're hoods

Also excuse my poor spelling and grammer, I'm a lazy idiot

the day you almost caught, kaptain jhin sparrow.

The weapons are too different. Actually, Lucian's weapons are not even guns but stones which can focus light beams in different shapes and power which got modeled in a comfortable way to be used which resemble what we call a gun.

By what we can get from the champion sneak peek he sounds like some1 who has an obsession for his art and how he envisions it, so the actual gun he wields might be his own creation too.

Oh yeah? Well what's mine?

Hey,

Sorry to rain on your parade. It does take months to develop a champ. It does take weeks to produce a video such as this one. No, we can't produce champs in less than a week. I think you're a little misinformed on game development.

It takes YOU weeks to produce a video. It doesn't take weeks to produce a video. Like- it took my neighbor a year to finish putting up his siding, but I could do it in less than a week. But, it's not only this. I've posted handfuls of discussions in Concepts, only for the ideas to be salvaged from like a junkyard. Had you already been thinking about employing these ideas, you would have said something to that degree- yet Riot remains silent in the Concepts page- that is, unless someone has the software to make a decent visual.

Savage. 10/10 Rioter, putting this guy in his place

So, I love that you're on the forums, and I love that you're commenting, and I love that you stepped in to correct this guy. But there's one thing that does make me sad: you're on the red tracker. And because this is early in the thread's lifespan, and because it's currently the most popular Mind of the Virtuoso thread, that means this thread is going to continue to get the most attention and most upvotes, and so will this particular comment chain. So basically, your comment has doomed most of the discussion in this thread to be about champion development, instead of about the video itself, which is kind of sad.

But wait -- all is not lost! If you, or other Rioters comment elsewhere in the thread, you'll bring eyes, and upvotes, there, too! You can help shape the thread back on topic.

I see you're a composer. Did you work on this piece? (the music is amazing). Any cool stories about how it came to be? Don't reply to me here, because it's in the same comment chain as the guy above, but I'd love to hear more from you. (Suggestion: in reply to the original post).

Cheers, Hyrum

Not just game development... Development in general.

Its true that these two may seem similar, but Jhin doesn't relate to any of his champs selected, there's only two images of plants, and he made a girl while this is a dude with a mask (who was said to be very creepy).

As someone who's dabbled in animation and in making games, I understand that this video alone took a lot of time to make.

First: exhibit A is the amount of texture put into each random person (as they didn't use Garen, Sona, Zed, or Vi). Not only their designs but their bodies.

Second, after taking up drawing, it takes a good number of hours just to draw and color lips as realistic as the ones seen. On top of that, they were animated (with smoke coming out).

Third, nothing seems recycled from anything I've previously seen which means that although theirs barely motion happening, there was a lot of work done just to make the characters.

Fourth, even if live actors were used to make this, the amount of VFX (visual effects) and scenes are enough to be about two and half to maybe even three weeks of work.

I could go on, but there is no possible way, that his post could had been read and within about even two months would a champion like this be made, tested, approved, and then get teasers.
