as an artist in training, studying hard every waking hour, this is the stuff that motivates me. Barely have time to play the game, or any game for that matter, but I tune in to see all the animations, card arts, UI and get a glimpse of my dream every time. Keep it up you guys, please continue to make me want to be a part of it
I've been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with Riot artists and SMV, and the number one thing I've learned is that art is mostly a skill, not a talent. So keep it up and you'll get there!
When I met the SMV folk I had just assumed they were all born art prodigies, but the reality is each person has their own story and started at different times in their lives. They all sucked at drawing at one point in their lives! The one thing they had in common was their dedication and hunger to constantly get better.
That's a lesson I've tried to take with me to different parts of my life. I still can't draw, but I'm getting better at some other things :)
