Galio, the Colossus

"Majestic, is that what I'm supposed to be?"

The long-awaited character rework of Galio (courtesy of Gem Lim) that incorporates the phenomenal work and design language our foundations team has been working on (check out Demacian concepts by Joon Ahn). Shoutouts to Brian King for providing really useful 3d assets to speed up the process! Looking forward to integrating more 3d into my pipeline when appropriate, especially elaborate/tedious hard-surface weapons and armor.

I had a blast populating the world in this splash (happy little trees/clouds/villagers etc), but this was a rocky splash for me (hehe). Luckily, I received incredible support from my teammates to carry it through to final, in particular Josh Smith who spent his time and energy problemsolving with me, and Jess Oyhenart with the clutch ref and tutorials!

Hope you guys enjoy!
