Marauder Kalista! Really had fun figuring this out because I'm a huge fan of the dark fantasy genre. The goal here was to showcase Kalista as the ultimate Marauder warrior. She's supposed to be really big like 10ft tall.

The tricky parts of this splash were all the intersecting elements like the spears behind her, her hair, her arm in front of her vs the loin cloth. It was hard balancing how to separate her front arm in terms of values. We redrew the hands like 4 times in total. Also, I had trouble figuring out Xin Zhao in the left corner. At first he was supposed to be made of pure red energy since he is still being summoned but in the end it got too distracting so he was colored back with his local colors.

Also forgot to mention, I used a DAZ3D model to check the perspective.

Thanks again to everyone at Riot and West Studio!
