Last October, Polycount, a foreign website, announced to hold a creative design competition with the theme of League of Heroes. The competition projects include animation production, illustration design, animation special effects, character design, environment design, sound effect design and plot design.
These projects are open to creative people around the world. In just three months, illustration design alone has received more than 600 works. After summary and selection, the organizers recently announced the winners of various projects, including some of the most impressive works, some even comparable to the design of the game itself.
Illustration Design
First place: Roman Tishenin - Bron
Roman Tishenin designed Bron's commonly used shield as a guillotine, which made this illustration very innovative. Originally, Bloem looked very scary under the gloomy moonlight, but people could not be afraid of the Polaroid under the guillotine.
Second place: Nikita Volobuev - matchless sword lady
The inspiration for this illustration of Wushuangjian Ji comes from the light cavalry. The author shared the process of painting this work in the forum. From the draft to the finished product, the picture effect is constantly improving.
award-winning work

Inspired by light cavalry Third place: Taylor Jansen - Caracas
If you don't say it's Kogas, it may be hard for you to guess which hero he is. Based on the original shape of Kogas, the author remakes it into a more ferocious void monster.

Corgas head design process Character design
First place: Adrien Debos, the girl killer Bud
The skin of Bud borrows from Aon's jungle style. The weapon in his hand is replaced by a mushroom, and the small ball of wood around him becomes a more lovely chicken. Even the tunnel skill has a picture of a cute chicken. Just so, the name of this skin is "Girl Killer".
Second place: Michael Tarwater -- Leona, the beast hunter
This work continues the style of the skin of the "wild animal hunter" series officially launched before. After comparing the skin of this series, the author combines some characteristics of animals and characters to create a new image.
The Beast Hunter series previously launched three hero skins, namely, Draven, Pig Woman and Man King Leona wears the skin of a wild animal, and holds a shield with wild animal elements.
The finished works even have better visual effects than the original ones.
Third place: Alex Nguyen - Ashe, the guardian of the star
Like the second Leona, the new image of Aixi also refers to the style of the official "Guardian of Stars" series.
However, the final effect is not ideal. The facial expression is a little stiff, losing the liveliness and loveliness that the "guardian of the stars" should have.
environmental design
First place: Anton Yakovlev
Anton Yakovlev remade the environment of the stone beetle area, and combined the original stone beetle with the new environment to produce a conjoined wild monster of animals and plants. The defense tower has also become completely different from the current one.
Second place: Larry Kummer
Larry Kummer mainly modified the model of the defense tower, and the "three wolves" field in the wild area was iced.

The third place winner's work is still based on the design of the defensive tower. The author has created a distinctive defensive tower by combining the image of Gallio and the architecture of the city state of Demasia, but the heroes of Noxas may not agree when they see it
