Can I work for Riot Games as character artist remotely? (or some similar post) Well, not exactly me but my girlfriend has stunning skills with drawings and she really likes LoL.

Yes. A lot of concept art and splash illustration is done by contractors. Often, the contractors post their League work to Artstation! (Does your gf have a page?)

And not to be harsh. I'm at least half joking. Okay... maybe 45%. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Drawing professionally for a game is as much a craft as an art. We couldn't ship "Starry Night" as our next champion, though it's stunning AF, to create the most ridiculous example possible... If you said your gf has created concepts with great readability from in-game camera angles, clear thematic, etc., I think I would've spit out my Kool-aid, and then a bunch of $100 bills to hire her (and I'm just a writer, lol). There are very specific things we'd be looking for from concept artists in particular, skills that are sometimes as rare as broader artistic talent.

Anyway, if your gf has a page or sample work online lemme know, I'll pass it on!

Riot will outsource or commissions artists sometimes. With some artists they will frequently go back to work with them. But I think an actual job as a Riot artist would have you be literally an in house artist.

It would be cool to work for riot, for me it would be the narrative writer, now my writing is not the best and it could use improvements , but I found that I really like the lore of League and i even made a character from reading some of the lore. but then again it't could just be me
