It's my second time to do something for the bewitching/halloween skinline. Also, this splash is actually the first time I would do a solo female character splash for League so I was very excited!

Out of my 6 thumbnails I did, this was the hardest to do because of the top down shot. I knew this was gonna be a nightmare in terms of perspective so I decided to do more 3D this time. I recently discovered the fish eye effect so I put it to good use here. Some parts of the 3D
didn't fit my vision so I cheated it and distorted it to my own liking even if I broke the perspective.

Thanks to the 3D I as able to focus more on the character when rendering. I had a lot of trouble balancing the VFX of the pumpkins to make them read but not overpower the image at the same time but I think we managed in the end. :)
