I'm Tom! Secretly Princess Zelda in disguise. Lead Concept Artist @ Riot Games League of Legends - Riot Hylia Thoughts and opinions posted are my own. He/Him
My final in game and turnaround concepts for Caitlyn's updated base look! This was an absolute dream to get to work on, and I'm so honored to be a part of bringing Caitlyn into the future and contextualizing her within our modern vision of Piltover and Runeterra on the whole!
An early direction lock concept for Taliyah! I wanted Taliyah's pinks to be a bit more pastel than other Pink Guardians, a fledgling Guardian who could one day mature into a leader in her own right. I wanted her Gem to resemble Rose Quartz, stone of self love & understanding 🥰
Final concept I worked on for Broken Covenant Miss Fortune!! I took this across the finish line after the incredible
@anhdangerous
and
@juliandel_rey
got her kicked off. Was a super fun thematic to work on!!
Irelia wearing karma’s base headpiece in her sentinel skin was a conscious design decision, I pictured her wearing it as a token to remind herself of the land and the woman she was fighting to save, to rescue Darha and restore the spirit of Ionia.
Ahh she’s been like REVEALED revealed now 💖💫🌙 I was the concept artist on Star Guardian Taliyah! She was such a joy and privilege to work on, I can’t wait to show y’all more!
Contributing concepts for Ruined Karma was an absolute BLAST. Was so fun reimagining these champs under the influence of Viego and the Black Mist. Here are a few concepts I put together before moving into the final topdown!
This was the first pass iteration at the direction that eventually became the final concept for Elderwood Xayah! Explored a few different directions before settling on this one
my final in game concepts for Spirit Blossom Syndra!! Was such a joy to get the chance to contribute to this skinline again, and the team did such an amazing job bringing the cast of spirits to life!
My final concepts for Space Groove Lissandra!! We made some tweaks to her in production, but I was really excited about the potential of the lava lamp and the team did an amazing job realizing it in game!!
The 5.0 wild rift preview was so exciting!! I got to do some super early sketch ideation for Syndra’s refreshed look before she was taken across the finish line, super excited to take her for a spin in Wild Rift!
Spirit Blossom Syndra means a lot to me and I’m so excited to see the response to her! 💖🦋 I was really excited to envision a mythical sort of potential for syndra free from the shackles of expectation and fear imposed on her by society because of the power she was born with
Hey everyone! Thanks so much for your feedback on Dawnbringer Nidalee! The team's taken a look at the response to her hair color and has toned down the saturation to a more muted, natural ashen blonde! This should be reflected in a PBE cycle very soon!
