3/30 PBE Update: Program Soraka splash Art

https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bZ2Ly1GK3Ls/VvwdTjsqNqI/AAAAAAAA5Wo/S-pCDCk8l28TM64LNi4OiW_-TN7uKtv4A/s1600/Soraka_Splash_6.jpg so the program raka splash has finally been released and i love this skin so much(also program liss). one thing that seems a little off to me about the splash is how dark it is. there are a bunch of neon lights, explosions, and beams of energy in the background, but the lighting doesn't reflect it properly. for example here is some city street that shows what i'm talking about. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/9e/33/90/9e3390d6aec6027f3caf1034f71c15aa.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c9/9e/46/c99e46dd87fb437825d6739b021a26b1.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b8/3d/e8/b83de8abd01f0dac665d610210b642bf.jpg another factor is how blurred the background is. you could say its because you are looking from the perspective of someone who is injured and their vision is compromised, but raka would be blurred at least a little bit as well if this was the case. i can't wait for this skin to come out. this is the first raka skin that i want, so i will be picking it up. anyway, but these are my thoughts on the splash. the background lights should look a little more like rakas heads lights in how they contrast with the darkness behind her IMO. otherwise this is beautiful and might become my new favorite skin line.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! Its great to see players providing such clear communication and including reference :)

It was definitely challenging balancing the lights in the background with Soraka. A lot of the decisions I ended up making were to bring focus to Soraka's face, and so shrouding the background a bit and pushing the lighting to enhance the focal points was the path I ended up going down. I have a personal tendency to use vignetting and value contrast to lead the eye, so my compositions can become fairly dark. Thanks for calling me out xD I need to improve my versatility in composing.

Thanks for the thorough feedback- its very inspiring and motivating! I'll continue doing my best to bring the best I can for players.

Now that I have seen the Splash I really think that her model is too bulky in places.

She's in come kind of a techno laser battle. It's showing that she is a combat medic
