Description Karma, League of Legends (Riot Games). My take on the splash art, with a slight stylistic difference and change (and less extreme pose); and yes, please note, this is basically the same as the official art, but creating it from scratch to finish has been really great practice.

I never noticed she's warding off the evil eye in the official art. Wonder why I didn't see it til now. Good job though, I like your work!

I really like this pose better. Gives the same effect of power and balance I think riot was trying to create, but with less of the painful back-breaking.

Also there is one thing. The left side of her face looks kinda outlined, making her face look unrealistically cartoonish while the rest of her body isn't. Otherwise, awesome job! Couldn't have done better myself!

Thanks. I understand Riot wants to go with the really stylized and dynamic poses, but unfortunately, sometimes it backfires. And no problem, you're right, it looks cartoonish!

I do see a lot of exaggerating in Riot's splash art. Sometimes they take it too far to the point where it looks as if they dislocated their spines and limbs. x-x
I really like this take.

VegaColors In reply to Incueye [2014-04-15 01:57:41 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'm all for exaggeration and dynamic poses, but not to the point it seems...out of place and broken.

Do you think you could make one with traditional Karma??? Im the only one i know who has it....

VegaColors In reply to Qwerty-V2 [2014-02-07 07:33:56 +0000 UTC]

At the moment I'm a bit too busy. Karma's splashes (traditional and skins) could definitely use a makeover though.

Oh my god. I'm looking through your stuff right now and all I have to say is... Thank you!! I love the "fixes" you do, I feel like I'm looking at a real woman and not some kind of objetified girl to sell more skins. Thank you for doing this.

VegaColors In reply to sophiehayes [2013-08-13 20:01:39 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot! And no problem!


I wouldn't say Riot's version is objectified, but more that it's one of the examples of taking the body's anatomy too far to make an image dynamic (mainly Karma's back and spine). Exaggeration can be great to create a more active or epic presence, but in this sense, Karma's figure seems too distorted.

this should be karma's splash instead.

sh3bang [2013-08-11 15:30:50 +0000 UTC]

Great job! I really like the addition of the spine. I guess I don't mind action-packed, no-spine poses on some of the girls but the Karma one pushed me over the line somehow.

VegaColors In reply to sh3bang [2013-08-11 17:49:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, happy to hear this worked! Exaggeration can be really cool, but then other times, it can make me cringe D:

I actually thought this was the official art from the thumbnail. I particularly like your take on her facial expression and overall attitude. It really embodies who Karma is as a champion and represents her peaceful mindset. c:

Way past cool. It's even cooler that you're finally gaining the recognition you deserve from others, instead of just close friends all the time. Great details as usual add up to a vastly supreme character rendition art.

Keep it up!
