Vi The Chem Baron Queen - Arcane Fan Art

Super excited to share my latest piece and entry for the Arcane ZugZug Challenge.

Love the show and love this style. This was a really awesome piece to work on as I got to learn a lot of new techniques and software. I really enjoy learning new styles and push my self to get out of my comfort zone. At the moment i'm on a journey of leveling my hand painting textures skills.

The challenge was to reimagine a character from arcane. This was perfect because I wanted to learn more about the arcane style but not completely re-do what the show had put out. I approached the challenge as if this was a character for a game with different available skins. I imagine what she would look like if she was part of The Chem Barons a criminal organization. From here I borrowed attributes and costumes pieces from all the rest of the leaders and came up with the idea of Vi as The Chem Barron Queen a gang boss.

With this I got to learn 3DCoat and get back to hand painting textures. The people over at ZugZug have done an amazing job of creating and compiling tutorial for just this need. I encourage anyone learning this style to drop into the discord as it made it super easy to do research with such a thriving community .

As a artist it's good to have structure and a deadline otherwise I think I would still be working on this. I hope to find more time after the challenge is over to update this post with some of the stuff that didn't make it into the final post.
