I understand it is supposed to be artistic kinda like a movie poster but they shoulda went further with that theme. There's too much empty space in this splash art and it's really awkward. Fizz is so separate and gets half the splash art to his self while the rest share the fire. It's too late now to change it though, they already invested so much into the art so they can't go back. The music is nice though.

Here are some war movie posters, note how they use the space they got:

The art was actually painted as a movie poster! This is a landscape conversion done for the login (hence the space) but in the original fizz is below the others and the layout is amazing.

i believe you, but still the spacing here is awkward. If you say the poster version is amazing maybe you should have just gone with it with a filler to the sides.

Like, cmon, Twitch's tail has MORE show than Veigar!

I agree. As a solid splash it looks great! but as a animated login, it actually hurts my head to look at (I am incredibly prone to migraines). Something about the layering and I don't even know what's going on between Trist, Viegar, and Twitch... it took me a little bit of searching to figure out what the tail was ('why is there a knife on a rope...? oh, it's twitch's tail').

Also the tilt of the poster/login anims actually pulls VERY HEAVY to the lower left. It feels like it's about to slide apart, and my eyes can't find anything on that far side to really look at.

My eyes first hit trist, then twitch. After that, they get lost on the far left. I can't really appreciate the right half simply because my eyes can't complete a full rotation of the picture without having to force it.

TL;DR: It is a good piece..... but it needs a little bit of work on layering, weight, and movement.

That's exactly what I mean by movement, you have to force yourself to look for veigar and fizz (even though fizz is easy to find, we still have to force our eyes against the movement of the piece and look right).

It looks great! And BTW, will there be any Omega Squad skins in the future,if so could you consider rumble,lulu, or ziggs. This login screen looks really good, but I didn't like Veigar's and Trist. Fizz was cool but he already has a lot of high quality skins.

If they prove popular I hope we can do more for the other yordles. Omega Squad was the most fun to work on and I had rough concepts for a lot of them.

xScarfyJul 17, 20171 votes

Yes pls! We need one for every Yordle, just look at these concepts: Heimerdinger, Kennen and Ziggs: https://m.imgur.com/er1mias Kled: http://img14.deviantart.net/9637/i/2016/315/4/6/omega_squad_kled_by_aznok-dao3sfo.png Lulu: http://apollo-na-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1429324621386/aaa.jpg

What. I was really hoping for an Urgot login screen. They could've done something awesome with that.

SukishooJul 15, 20177 votes

There will most likely be one of those too. They generally have them on champion updates, new champions and then various skin types. They will probably switch between the two as they usually do. Urgot's will be first (they just haven't pushed it out yet) then when the skins come out this Login will be up.

Eternal791Jul 15, 20171 votes

Oh, ok. I sure hope so. I've been looking forward to the Urgod's theme song for while.

Wrong franchise.

I feel very strong "the rock" movie vibes from the score, was that an inspiration by any chance? One of my favorite login screens

Thanks for listening!

"The Rock" is a little different in what it says musically. This is more a nod towards David Arnold, Alan Silvestri and Basil Poledouris (at least as far as the orchestral stuff is concerned), and the great work they've produced in the 90ies.

The synth stuff is a mixed bag: there's some Miami Vice vibes in there, some more modern things as well.

That said, from a mix standpoint the overall sound of the piece is closer to Zimmerland than it is to the work of the composers I referenced above.

Cheers!

This theme to me sounds pretty heroic...so the Omega Squad are supposed to be the good guys, right?

JackMcSnipeyzJul 16, 20171 votes

Wow, didnt expect a reply, really awesome seeing insight from inside. I really think this is one of the your scores better works, it gets you right into the mood and it replicates the action movie vibe perfectly
