Painting Project Sylas - League of Legends Splash Art Timelapse

- Timelapse of how I painted Project Sylas.
The older Project splashes were one of my inspirations early on in my career so it surreal to be able to contribute to this. The idea here was to show Sylas fighting some robots. My main reference was Sylas in the Warriors MV. I also looked at some anime reference to help me get that moment before the big punch. His chain design changed during production as you can see here but most of the things remained the same.
Rendering sci-fi is super hard. I only had a top down concept art to base on and it was difficult to figure out the different angles. I used Maya to make a block mesh of his weapons. I also imported a model from Daz3D as a reference. Using 3D like this is mostly just to start things in proper perspective. In the end, I will still adjust things as I see fit. Rendering the bg was also a pain because of the details. I got carried away with the lights so good things I got a Paint over from Alex Flores to tone things down. Really like the end result!

► A splash takes 4-5 weeks. 1st week for multiple sketches. 2nd week to figure out the colors. 3rd to 5th week to render and polish.
► I paint with the canvas size 8,000 x 4,500 px but it is shrunk down to 7,000 x 3938 for final.
► This video is 40x speed up. Do the math based on this video's time. Usually, the real time is around 40-80+ hours. (if the other thumbnails were added in). Actual work hours are more than 100+ hrs when you factor in the other thumbnails, research, and contemplating time.
► The toolbar at the left side is called Lazy Nezumi. It helps me get smoother lines and have perspective guides.
► To quickly color a grayscale, I use two methods.
GRAYSCALE COLORING 1ST METHOD:
• Layer on top: The grayscale set to multiply. Brighten it up and colorize depending on the mood you want. This Acts as an AO pass.
• Layer below: Use a solid brush to paint in the flat local colors.
GRAYSCALE COLORING 2ND METHOD: (Messier)
• Layer on top: Set this layer to softlight and add in your colors. This makes it a bit look dull on the highlights so you need to manually fix the highlight colors.
• Layer below: Grayscale here.
► Tip for revisions. You can use liquify on multiple layers. Right after you do it on one layer. You can press Alt+Ctrl+F to apply it again to a different layer. Make sure not to deselect your selection if you are doing this.
► I use color dodge and sometimes linear dodge blending mode to add in lighting layers.
► I group layers using this logic:
1. Post processing
2. VFX, magic
3. Character
4. Some fog
5. Background people, elements, etc
6. Sky and far background
► Here are my tools:
2008-2020:
• Wacom Intuos 3 6″x8″
• Samsung T190
• Intel Core i7 3.50GHz, 16GB RAM, Windows 7
• Photoshop CS6, DAZ 3D, Alchemy
2021:
• XP Pen Artist 24 PRO
• Dell UltraSharp
• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core, 32 GB RAM, Windows 10
• Force Series Gen.4 PCIe MP600 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD (this is important for faster everything)
• Photoshop CC, Daz 3D, Zbrush, Maya
► To open a second window of your artwork in Photoshop it is located in Window - Arrange - New Window.
► To temporarily convert your artwork into grayscale. Go to View - Proof Setup - Custom - Select Dot Gain 20%. Then Press Ctrl + Y to toggle this view.
► I am not going to upload longer or shorter versions of this because that takes too much of my personal time. I'm already giving this away for FREE.
I feel kind of blessed being able to watch this for free
A long time ago Riot used to post their timelapse videos, I think the first I watched was the one when they created Fiora
Facts
@@abrakadaver_ rip artspotlights....
literally...
Me too fr
Such a good showing of how important is adding multi-tools in a well rounded artist’s arsenal. This video teaches more than every other “step by step tutorial” you can find out there. It kinda is a step by step tutorial, but unravels how the artist thinks, how he faces problems and how he solves them by disassembling every one of them in many much smaller pieces. From the initial composition brainstorming, till the end of the piece, there‘s so much to learn. Just wow. This is awesome.
Yup, it is important to learn many tools! Glad you totally get it!
Just like how traditional oil painters do maquettes to help them, I use 3D to help my painting. It's important to know that each problem has many possible solutions and for us artists to try different approaches to figure out the best possible outcome. :)
6 55 5eêrrrrrrrrrrrr
A great example in the 80/20 rule: 80 percent of the job (idea, initial concepts, sketching, first versions) is done in the first 20 percent of the video, and detailing and actually finishing the piece takes 80% of the time. Absolutely amazing work, thanks for sharing it.
Interesting concept. It's so true. 😮
I really love the process, using 3D to figure out the perspective of the armor is so smart, thanks for sharing the painting of this with us, it helps a lot for us artists.
Glad it helped! Learning 3D is crucial for illustrators. Other than 3D, I also use clay sometimes to figure out things faster. It's important to use as much tools as we can to speed things up. :)
@@deivcalviz Watching those process videos helps so much, really thankful for it! I loove leagues splash art, and I always wonder how much of it is painted from imaginanion. Do you usually paint the pose and all the anatomy from imagination, or do you use reference for it? And is there also reference used for other parts?
@@tyaap1681 It starts with the idea then I do the rough doodles. I gather more reference maybe from movies or animation, etc to get more ideas. Then when I get a pose locked down, I try to take photos of myself. If that doesnt work, I use a toy to pose it. Then once the drawing is done and it is polishing time, this is the time I sometimes bring in 3d to correct my mistakes. So many references! Haha
@@deivcalviz Thank's so much for your answer!
It's nice to see that some artists assume to use 3D as references (lights&pers). In a pro context it saves a lot of time and it's silly to do without it.
Yup! Saves time and gives an accurate reference. I still try to keep as much energy as I can from the initial sketch even if it means not following the 3D whenever the situation needs it. 😁
Thank you so much for all the information in the description. It's super useful to know how much time it takes to produce splash art on a professional level. And I always love watching how a painting is done from start to finish :)
So early to coment anything yet but let me say thnx again for saring the process of this amazing art Deiv
When they say artists spend hundreds of hours on their art that's not a lie :0
That character model is going to haunt my dreams
I find the artist have been frustrated and pained throughout the whole process. Such a pain to look at how the artist tried to figure out all kind of complicated light sources for the background. x.x Your patience must be god. I hope you would find a best solution and efficient ways to reduce your progress.
That's why its called "pain-ting" lol..
I really just wanna thank you for all the amazing art youve put out and the fact that you let everyone see your process! I hope i can be just as good as you someday!
Always cool to see the full process of work like this. Thanks for sharing it! 🙌
This is divine, absolutely amazing work!
Deiv you’re amazing , bless you for uploading these, I am forever grateful
This painting is so badass! Thank you for showing your process
ah man this piece is FLUFFING epic!!!!!!! amazing work man, Thanks so much for uploading the process!
This process is really inspiring and beyond helpful to see thankyou so much for the upload!
seeing the process and time it takes to create such pieces is so motivating as a beginner artist :)
i've seen your art back couple years and its still incredibly so amazing oh my god, all the details oh my god it seems so much work. but i feel so happy seeing the process of the speedpaint so cool!
This is just amazing, I can't believe that someone is at this level
i am very happy to see someone uploads splash arts progress
>w< thanks alot keep it up
Dude, you art skills are godly. The amount of years of work you must've put into learning all this is probably unimaginable. I started watching this and after 15 minutes looked at the play time and my jaw dropped when I saw there was over an hour to go. Honestly, I am just in awe dude. Thanks for sharing your work!
The amount of detail and work that goes in just one splash art is so crazy! I would never pull this off.
It's amazing to see the progress of the painting but also the explanation of the time management. I've always seen splash art and tried to recreate what I see in about two days and that's just not possible. It's really enlightening.
I always love to see the process behind amazing art like this! Plus these videos are always my go to when I’m kinda stressed with my own art and need to take a short break to calm down
Thats great to hear my videos help you in that way. :)
It's so awesome that you're posting these amazing splash processes for free! I'll be sure to buy any future tutorials you release ^u^
Thank you for the support! Id love to do more but my schedule is packed!
the GOAT deiv back at it again with another piece of art
Absolutely incredible. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!
You've worked on a lot of Splash Art, that's so cool to see riot trust in you. Great Job !
Thanks! Hopefully I can keep doing this. Gotta thank both Riot and West Studio for trusting me! 😁
absolutely amazing, i'm so grateful to see it to help me progress in my drawing
dude this is amazing, the 3d model was so clever xD gj man
There are so much work behind this image and it turns out so great!
The whole video is in fast forward yet it still reaches to about 2 hrs that is the text book definition of dedication in mastery
WTF!!!!!! THIS is so freaking awesome!!!!!!! DUDE, thanks for this!! Nice job!
God of Art, thank you so much for sharing the process
This is more than enough content that you give away for free especially when you started uploading longer process videos. I really appreciate these vids so thanks a lot my friend. I would like to do splash art one day so I'm tryna get like you
Glad it was helpful! Keep making art! 😁
Beautiful. Absolutely phenominal.
ive rewatched this 10 times while eating breakfast everyday... so fascinating there are tools your using in photoshop or rather processes that I have never thought about so awesome that you post this
Thats great to know you picked up some stuff. Although I must admit my process is more complex that most other artists. 😆
I feel like your work is always the best skin of the line, great work !
Thanks for the kind words!
I cant believe how much info you just gave away for free, and this is the first video Ive watched from you. Thus begins my binge watch of all your vids! Man thank you so much. Cant believe Ive never thought of liquifying multiple layers before!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for creating so great splash art
Thank you for sharing the process!!
This was most excellent to see. Most people would have thought the picture was in a finished state about 25% of the way through this video. You really took it that extra mile. It was especially good to see you play around with ideas, change your mind, undo significant amounts of work and change things.
Thats all part of the process. Glad you appreciate it! :)
Thank you soooo much for the Process! It is so freakin amazing!
Muchas gracias por mostrarnos el proceso completo! se agradece muchísimo
Your splash arts are just another level 😮😮😮 😍😍
thank you so much. I really like all your amazing art
thank you for sharing your process 🙏❤️
This level of art skill is amazing!! This inspired me to draw more, when I grow up, I'm going to become a splash artist. :DD
Omg thx U do much for sharing this , it's lovely to see your process
i'm litteraly watching this as a reference for the process of a vex fan splash art than i'm trying to do. x) I have the whole concept art done, the pose for the splash art, but i have no idea where to start for the coloring, thanks for posting this, it really helped. :)
Thank you sm for sharing the process!! That helps a lot
Blessed omf, thank you so much for showing the process.
Amazing, I love your work.
Incredible as usual
Thank you for sharing your work, very helpful.
This opened my eyes in a lot of ways. Goes to show how much work is being put into this, any professional work really. At 28:10 it would've been good enough but you went far and beyond to refine and make it even more incredible. And even though it's quick/time-lapse, just watching this video made me realize that there are processes and tools that I didn't know existed within Photoshop and other programs. Love the shortcuts too.
This is great! Thank you so much!! seriously.
Really glad you like it! Yup, if this was a personal piece, I would have stopped earlier. This is what makes splash art stand out from other types of illustration.
Sinceramente no me explicó cómo pueden ser tan buenos, su trabajo inspiran a muchos jovenes
My favorite so far!
Love he new thumbnailss!
Incredible work!
Another fire piece!!! Keep going!!
Yo this is amazing, thx for share it with us!
Amazing work. Thanks for sharing.
DUDE YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
Thanks for sharing man, i was looking for this splash these days
I dread to think how many years of hard work it takes to be able to do something like this
OMFG! It's a colossal work, everything is so detailed. After this video, I don't even want to open Photoshop and draw something xD. At one moment of watching the video, my brain turned off and began to perceive everything as pure magic. Thanks for such a useful and entertaining material, it deserves much more views and likes. Like!
Thank you! I can imagine it being too overload of information. I hope I can do a detailed tutorial soon.
i will need 4 lives to illustrate like that....just jawdrope work!
OMG this is an awesome drawing skill !!! O_O
Thank you for showing ths for free and the splash faq in the description!
i love you and your art 😭 goddamnit
this is sick
amazing work!
he deserve more attention my new idol
Great work !
As a student of digital painting since last year, coming from tradtional painting,i thought that digital painting was only based on the actual ''action of painting''(i hope i'm making myself clear). League's artworks have shown me that in order to create a professional artwork you must understand deeply PS and so your pictorial quality can't do all the work alone. That's why this kind of works blow me every time. I hope there's a way to learn this process, it would improve my art a lot. Amazing piece, congrats!
Yup it is hard work! Hope i can do my tutorial soon! XD
Nah, different gravy. this guy is amazing.
Amazing 😳💛
Bless you
This is godly!
Thanks for sharing your process.. dont skip ads for appreciation ..thanks man
Glad you like it! Thanks for that. It’s gonna be my first time to earn some extra money from youtube next week! 😁
thanks for sharing your process :)
I really was waiting for this video ! the moment I saw your name in the the artist who worked in this skin set
OMG , perfect skill ....!
fantastic!
lo unico que se puede sentir por este picante, es admiración, muy bueno dibujando, pedazo de picaron
very impressive! love the usage of 3d softwares, must have saved a lot of time. keep up and thank you for the amazing content 👊🏻
So good !!! tankyou
Awesome
Dope skills. And music. The way that music drops @. 5:26. I really enjoyed watching this painting.
Thanks! Glad you like the music choice. Its all from the free youtube audio library. I recommend using Shazam app to get the titles if you want.
Napakahusay nito. Congrats deiv!
Uyy lhadz! Salamat!
Iam honored
this is crazy
Oh wow 😱
amount of details like droplets in rain
Fire
So much effort. So much talent. Are artists well compensated for the work they do?
After seeing this video I feel a void in my heart that wants me to be able to do it but is afraid if I can keep going.
This is great motivation and seeing how it went from a simple sketch to a masterpiece brings me joy.
Feels kinda weird to see your exact thoughts and feelings on someone else's comment man -
Splash art work pay the highest in my experience of doing freelance. But splash is also the most time consuming.
genius idea to use Maya with a 3d model I can't believe I didn't think of doing that lol.
I will save this video to improve my skills
