Art Spotlight: Lumberjack Darius

Yara Rocha created this Darius character from League of Legends in Blender. See how she did it!

Hello, my name is Yara Rocha, I am 22 years old and I currently live in Belo Horizonte – Brazil. I am a 3D artist and I love to draw on my free time. I graduated from Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais in Digital Game Design. During the course of studies my focus was character design and 3D modeling, but in general I had contact with the whole process of game development from concept to animation. Today I will show you a little of the my process, what I’ve learned.

This 3D model was made for the “Riot Creative Contest 2017” on polycount.com in the Character Art category. I had the idea to create a skin for Darius, a character in the game “League of Legends” whilst sharing the whole process. With the help of a friend I chose the Lumberjack skin line. It was a simpler concept than I initially intended to do, but it contained elements that I knew I needed to practice, such as the male anatomy and stylized proportions.
