Riot games

The League of Legends World Championship is one of the biggest esports events, where top teams compete for the title and a massive prize pool. For Worlds 2021, I worked on the design and animation for the branded intro of the opening ceremony, crafting dynamic variations of Riot’s logo inspired by their games and Arcane, their first Netflix series. This also included designing the Worlds ’21 Championship and LoL Esports logos. The goal was to create a dark, cinematic feel while capturing Arcane's signature painted style. While 3D materials established the foundation, adding brush details in compositing brought the final look to life. The result was a high-energy blend of illustration, graphics, and 3D animation that set the stage for the event’s first full-length trailer.
