Making the Ultimate Lux Login

A look at how artists created League's first animated portrait.
Elementalist Lux'southward story is one of internal struggle, and each of her ten forms was deliberately crafted to embody a item emotion. Trying to capture the subtlety of sentiments in a typical login blitheness presented a challenge. In past login screens, champ'southward were often portrayed from a distance, making it difficult to read their facial expressions. To better communicate Lux's emotional journey, artists created League'south get-go portrait-way login animation.
Await, IS THAT LUX?
When looking at a champ's silhouette, there are visual clues that help distinguish one from the other. An oversized pair of gauntlets lets you spot the Piltover Enforcer at a distance, simply every bit a lamp post indicates you're looking at someone who lacks a existent weapon. Without these iconic characteristics, information technology might exist difficult to differentiate, say, Poppy from Tristana at offset glance.
Artist Suke 'hugehugesword' Su set up out to capture Lux's essence in a still-frame without relying on her complete effigy or iconic wand—core components of her recognizable silhouette. After creating an rough version, he approached other Rioters with a question: Does this look like a League of Legends champion, and if so, who? For the first few rounds of drawings, people sporadically identified the Demacian mage, but many felt she was missing what fabricated Lux feel like Lux: a bubbly, amicable persona.
Armed with this feedback, Suke revisited the artwork, highlighting the lights in her optics and the smile on her face. When he showed people the new drawings, they saw more than a but beautiful face up. They saw Lux. In each image of Elementalist Lux, Suke wanted to portray a specific feeling. Her light grade is an embodiment of hope, seen in the effulgence in her eyes and light dancing on her face. Fire was built on fury, with dramatic, contrasting colors in her hair and an angular face shape to subconsciously convey harshness. Tranquility guided water grade, seen in Lux's restful expression and the cool, calming color scheme.
When an illustration is finished, it's separate into layers that motion graphics creative person can individually control. For instance, Lux's pilus can catch in a breeze without her shoulders and face likewise being affected by the movement. Some underpainting betwixt layers is often needed so things can motion freely without revealing unillustrated areas.
Lux's eyes were created in their entirety to avoid seams from actualization as her gaze shifted. When Suke went back to blueprint Lux's eyeballs, he was amused by the overlay and sent an image to his squad—an internal meme was born.
MAKING MORE Past DOING LESS
When motion graphics artists Adam 'AdamKadamon' Oliveira and Timothy 'BumsAreCool' Weiser began working with Suke to add movement to the artwork, they weren't certain how to bring Lux to life without detracting from the portrait'south intimacy. The previous approach to animating login screens past calculation dramatic animation to a ready-to-brawl poses wouldn't piece of work. The focus was shifted to subtle facial animations, groundwork movements, and transitions.

It wasn't an easy adjustment. In the showtime attempts at adding movement, Lux'southward eyes seemed to browse the room rather lock onto the viewer. "People consistently gave this feedback, 'I nigh wish she didn't move at all,'" Adam says. The movements were so dramatic that it didn't experience like she was maintaining eye contact. Giving her eyes more subtle, natural twitches re-established the connection between Lux and onlookers while still calculation life to her face up.
Lux's Middle Movements: Work-in-Progress and Final
Tim and Adam likewise used motility to amplify the emotions captured in each epitome. Ripples of light softly reverberate on to Lux's face in water form, while lava cascades dramatically through her pilus in burn class. Magnifying hope in light form was a trickier, but Tim was still excited. "I don't have many opportunities to exist like, 'Make this cute equally hell!" Tim says. "Light blooms, rainbow stuff, glitter in her pilus—I was going ham on information technology."
WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER
Combining iii unique images into one coherent, looping blitheness was tough. "We wanted the transitions to look like they're a part of Suke'due south art, similar they're merely changing information technology over time," Tim says. Early versions of these transitions, especially for fire form, featured drastically contrasting colors in an aggressive overlay. Information technology was definitely burn down, but information technology didn't lucifer with the more abstruse, soft art style of the original. The transition felt natural in one case it mirrored the original color saturation levels and focal signal.
Transition to Fire Form: Work-in-Progress and Final
Also literally connecting three disparate images, the transitions intensified the emotions embodied by each form. The heat of burn down is so intense, for example, that the transitional overlay is powerful and dramatic, while the serenity of water warrants a smooth, rippling effect.
The instant Lux shifts from feeling the fury of fire to the placidity of water can exist seen in her optics. Adam says, "There's this moment, less than a 2nd, in fire class where Lux aggressively closes her optics, like, 'ARGHH!' Then, she lets go and finds peace." Similarly, when Lux opens her eyes later on leaving h2o class, information technology's to literally let in the lite. This terminal addition made the transitions feel more than than logistic: they represented Lux's ongoing search for her true nature.
The login's video was created at the aforementioned time every bit the music, yet the transitions still aligned with the beat. "Information technology was meant to be," Tim jokes.
