Professional Portfolio Building - RiotGames Based Design - Trendar, The Nomad Merchant Day1

in #art7 years ago (edited)

Hi Everybody !

As the title says, the main purpose of this project is to create an original character for portfolio based on Riot Games style, universe and lore. I will be following the whole pipeline and workflow of a professional concept designer and, hopefully soon, maybe even work for my fellow Riot.

This will be a Journey through thinking processes and techniques I often use for solving design problems. I will reveal all my ideas behind what i am doing and slowly but sure we will get to the final result which (hopefully) will be amazing!

Join me in this daily blog and if you can, and you want, give me ideas, tell me when it seems I took the wrong path and let's make some cool stuff together!

This is the very first day and for now I just developed the main idea. You will see how everything starts taking shape and ideas start appearing all around.

Say no more! Let me introduce you the story and description!


Trendar, The Nomad Merchant

Trendar_1.jpg

Trendar is an amphibious yordle. He escaped from the underwater realm who saw him born way before his nephew Fizz been conceived. Obsessed with the relics of Runeterra he traveled through the world as a nomad merchant just with the company of his pet, a small and funny crab called Mistby.

One by one Trendar gathered the relics and learned to use their magic.

After finding the first of them he tried to activate it. But failed. The spell released and found its host on Mistby, Trendar's little friend. The result was his crab being the host of a powerful magic that makes him enormous and strong as a dragon when the words “Mistby Kendra” are shouted out.


So as you can guess, this will be a yordle, a small creature, not taller than 1m. It will be an old, grumpy and wise merchant that hates his own race and feels cursed due that he can't feel the joy that his fellow other yordles do.

He has a crab (or many) as pet, and an arsenal of magic relics. Which means a lot of weird spells that I will probably relate to his nature as amphibious creature.

As you could imagine already I was also thinking about using the curse of his crab as his ulti, still gotta think about it because it would be too similar to Fizz.

Aaaanyway, I think it is too soon for thinking about any ulti :D

That's all for now! a great introduction with nice lore to start, tomorrow some images shall already be made.

By the way !

If you want to see my actual portfolio (which i honestly hope to update soon) you can see it Right Here.
