I had the honour of working as a Character and Props Lead Artist /modelling/texturing/shading/ between 2019 and 2022 on an animated series for Riot Games’ League of Legends, during my long years at Axis. I led a team of exceptional artists in bringing a richly hand-painted world to life—what later became widely recognised as the “Arcane style.”
Throughout this time, I had the privilege of working on many of the characters, refining their final look through hand-painted textures, as well as completing and shading them.
One of the greatest joys of this experience was mentoring younger artists and giving them the opportunity to work on characters they had long dreamed of contributing to.
You, as a Supervisor or a Lead, have the opportunity to take what is under your fingertips and to say, in the end, “This is mine, I did it.”
I believe true leaders give rather than take.
The greatest reward is not taking for yourself, but a smiling face and the words:
“Thank you, Kat. I will never forget this.”
Everything mentioned above was part of a collective effort.
Assets characters/props/groom: Tamas Sarffi, Xabier Urrutia, Carlo Kasongo, Sofia Hansson, Csaba Baity, Miki Bencz, Elena Distefano, Hamish Mitchel, Jonas Bergholm.
I will update the post later with all the artists' names if I am missing someone.
