Ni No Kuni was a game I heard was absolutely incredible in 2013 if you were a fan of traditional RPGs. Now I’ve probably only played from start to finish a handful of RPGs, most of them being Konami’s cult favorite Suikoden series. I’ve never played a Final Fantasy game other then the first two on Gameboy Advane, so I know nothing about Cloud, Aerith, or any of those other spikey haired characters. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Final Remix was the last RPG I had played before Ni No Kuni and I had a mixed reaction to that, so I wasn’t already with a good attitude when it came to RPGs when I started Ni No Kuni. And low and behold when I started Ni No Kuni, it was slow, boring, and slightly frustrating which threw me off the first 10 hours or so when I was so swamped during the school year. But when summer started I sucked it up and tried another go at it when I had more time. 40 hours later, my mind had completely shifted and Ni No Kuni is definitely one of the greatest RPGs I’ve ever played and I’m the best part is I’m not even close to being done with it.

Got a chance to play on the Public Beta Environment for League of Legends to test out the new Summoner’s Rift. I chose to be a yet to be released Hazmat Heimerdinger skin in anticipation! I cut together some of the game highlights and you can view them above.
Jinx and Vi

Jinx and Vi have a staring contest. But Jinx looks like she’s got the upper hand…
One of the more time consuming and experimental projects I’ve done. I learned two new techniques drawing this: the transparency lock tool to color my line art and the multiplication blending tool to shade/light my drawing.
Anyways, I’m very excited to continue drawing and practicing. I’m think of doing some serious Bat Family or Wonder Woman stuff…Or some Saga stuff…Or some more League stuff.
These are the best kinds of problems.

That Tasted Purple!
Posted in Fig Art, Video Games, tagged fan art, League of Legends, lulu, support on January 23, 2014| Leave a Comment »
Of all the supports in the game, Lulu is by far my favorite. She’s the second support I picked up, second to Nami, and I have since then preferred to play Lulu over just about anyone else when I get thrown into bottom lane. The range of utility in her kit + the greatest skin ever created [because poro] has resulted in enough passion to draw this piece of fan art!
League of Casuals: Creator Viktor Mid

Things don’t get more snowbally than this. I kind of chose Viktor as a goofy pick because I really enjoy playing him even though his lack of escape can truly get me into trouble. I’ve always had faith in his damages, and by the end of the video, one laser and transfer blew up an enemy Ahri. I should start building death fire grasp on him…
