I keep seeing complaints about how the Hexgate/Anomaly polluting the undercity, specifically poisoning the Firelight tree, subplot and Ekko and Jayce’s conflict over it, never got any payoff or resolution.

But…uh…yes it absolutely did: Ekko got to blow up the two guys who built the Hexgate, using a miniature replica of the anomaly to do it.

The guy who saw firsthand how much better things would have been (specifically for the undercity) without Hextech got to literally throw their magical bullshit back in their faces. And the fact that the device he used to do it had a design reference to Powder’s monkey bomb is just *chef’s kiss*

Honestly, for me, that was actually the most satisfying “Zaun takes vengeance on Piltover” moment in the entire show.

guhhh…. could you maybe give some pointers on how you render I adore it

thank you so much 🥹! it’s important to note I use procreate and mainly use the mercury brush for my rendering. buuuttttt we’re doing this on ibis paint on my phone because I don’t have my ipad with me, but the process remains mostly the same!

this is a bit lengthy so read more under the cut :3

1. rough sketch

this is just a base sketch and can look rough as possible or even just be a few lines, what matters is that we get something down on the canvas to make better later!

2. line art!…sorta

I don’t typically do the traditional lining as I’m awful and shaky with lines, so I often just clean up the sketch or make messy lines and render them up later! any way works though, the point here is you just want a cleaner sketch or lined form!

3. flats and shading or other doohickeys you may add

I do my flats with a big brush and lasso tool it all, I may also do minimal shading here.

4. merge those bad boys (layers) together

this is where the magic happens. I grab my lasso tool and begin to make shapes and highlight along with bigger blocks of shading. I like rendering this way because my brain doesn’t have to do too much work and can easily make new forms with just shapes.

5. color changes (can be done at any point in the coloring process)

one thing about me is I am indecisive as FUCK. I may like how one set of colors looks but then prefer another color, color balance is your friend! feel free to play or mess around with different hues or warm or cold colors to get the colors you want, I’m more partial to saturated colors.

6. final rendering touches along with cleanup, as well as going over lines and adding more flair

this is where I add a lot of triangles or hatching, decided to just do hatching here. this is where most cleaning happens.

and with that we’re done! I hope this was easy to understand I apologize if not I am terrible at explaining things 😭 but I hope this helps anyone who’s getting more into rendering or learning how to! this is just my process and isn’t the end all be all, feel free to switch around steps or just do things your own way, that’s the beauty of art we all do it differently!!

here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some 🏴‍☠️ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too

sex is fine but have you ever thought about all the ways you’d rewrite a flawed piece of media that shaped your life and holds a special place in your heart despite its unfulfilled potential
