Sylas the Unchained

Finally getting around to posting the Yung Sylas!

As always, a pleasure collaborating with the Champions Team on one of the most exciting antiheroes League has ever seen. Special shoutouts to Sunny Pandita, with whom I had innumerable talks about Sylas' backstory and personality, Elena Bespalova (Helstern) who inspired me with her promo images for the Sylas campaign and provided 3D assets + excellent paintovers during the splash, Josh Smith & Jess Oyhenart who did a lot of early legwork for the comp we ended up going with, my splash homies for painting help, and Hunter Gage for 3D support as well. Splash takes a village!

I think this piece looks more unfinished than my usual work, but I was really exhausted at the end of last year ^^; I noticed all the splashes I did in that year are hunched over, not a coincidence... Still, I am really proud of the portrait and the anime baddie vibe I was shooting for! Thanks for looking!
