Hi all, long time no see. :)

I'll get to the point:
Riven character design has been slightly altered; however, my goal was to keep her as recognizable as much as I can.

My main focus on it was to practice anatomy and to get overall feeling of its design. Nothing more or less. I had fun doing it though.

It seems like I have more and more patience to work on a piece longer amount of time. Higher endurance I guess? :D

Might do other LoL fanart on other champion. :D

love the colors, love the lighting. However I would add that her sword is a HUGE part of her personality, and feels a little wrong someow in this pic. Could just be the missing right hand glove. overall exceptional. kudos

I love this piece as well. Great lighting and overall feel, but the sword ruined it for me.

Her blade is the most iconic thing about her and it does feel wrong. She's holding it too gingerly IMO. When Riven's blade is reforged she carries it like it's something heavy but here it look like she's holding a dagger. Her effort in lifting the massive weapon isn't seen. Maybe you used a pose reference with the arm like that.

Just my two cents. Great work though!

Its because of the orientation of her hand. Her palm is very visible, which would imply that the blade should be going out to the side. Also, you do not see any of the forward face of the hilt (the one that directly touches the blade if it were real). However, the blade ends up pointing forward, making it appear to our eyes that it is bent like a j.

Still really nice!

Yeah, the artist seemed to have trouble with foreshortening on the sword.

Wow this is excellent. The pose and the costume as well as the weapon design is so cool.

Aw thank you, I can't take the credit for the design though. It's a fan art of the champion, Riven, from League of Legends game.
