Hello, sunnykoda. I've just watched your work, and it's amazing. Just, I would want to design characters as well as you do, but I'm far away from where you are. What do you counsel me to do? Have you any particular methodes or tips?
Goodbye

There are an infinite number of online tutorials with various methods and breakdowns, but more than that my advice is discipline, patience and honesty:
Draw every day, study the work of artists you admire, study the work of artists you want to be like, decide what kind of artist you want to be and work backwards from there to figure out how you're going to achieve that goal. Understand that you'll improve over time but don't look for shortcuts or easy answers, instead just enjoy what you're doing and know that when you do look back you'll be surprised by how far you've come. Be realistic about your work and where you are at and don't lie to yourself or let others lie to you about your progress - you're not great, you'll never be the best, you probably aren't even where you think you are BUT THAT IS OKAY!
If you have those three things then it's just a matter of time before you're an awesome artist, but I find the best artists I've ever met will never accept that they've 'made it'.

Do you take suggestions/requests? Me and some of my League friends love to bat around joking ideas for skins, but I had just a couple that I'd love to actually see drawn one day. I'd love to let you add them to a "maybe someday" idea list if I could

My main char is lissandra i really like herr plz make a skin that FITS herr

I have in the past tried to come up with some champion designs but nothing too solid. Probably my favourite was a Zaun ADC that is on my webpage - www.sunny-koda.com
Lissandra still has just one skin so I'm sure there'll be another one in the works soon, and if I get to work on it I'll make sure it doesn't disappoint!

Nice work Sunny - long time no hear from you.

I know it's a tad silly to ask, but will you do at least one skin for EVERY champion of League? XD I know I wouldn't be able to do it myself but I also know a lot of champions on League deserve more skins!

I will do as many skin designs as Riot request and if I get hired full time then absolutely I will make it my goal in life! Even Poppy!!!

oh man so cool so cool! Chris Angel Malzahar hehe with the levitation and everything. Mindfreak! I'd love to know which artist painted that and pick their brain, clearly a big Malz fan (as am I).

ok thank you, i'll see that

Love your lol stuff sooo good. Any chance at prints??
π: 0 β©: 1
Glad you dig it that's flattering! A lot of my work is Fan Art because a) I'm a huge nerd and b) I'm still working on my skills but if I paint something original I think is worth printing then I might.
If there's something in particular you like send me a pm and I can give you a high res version.

Thanks dude, looks like some people like them. It's crazy how passionate people are about skins - every champion in LoL has a core fanbase that absolutely love the champ.
