[2022] Exclusive Interview with Valorant Art Team About Cryostasis Skin Line / Challenges Creating Skins

Originally posted by stranger666

TLDR:

• Cryrostasis skin line is premium, has finisher VFX, banner, gets icy/snowy as you sneak around slowly but the ice breaks off when you shoot

• Talks about the popularity of "elemental" skins such as fire ,water, electric. Art team member admits smite skinline wasn't executed well

• Idea for skinline based off a russian sniper sitting in the snow waiting for his target, eventually becoming covered in ice

• Dev mentions it's frustrating when people criticize non premium skin releases after they drop a big one

Thanks for the interview, really gives a different perspective on how skins are made (and yes, smite is the best skin in the game)

I love the singularity black hole style skin. And I will get this skin if there is a nice finisher.

Its sad if I see people hate on lower tier skins. I personally only buy premium high tier bundles because I like the animations and finisher. But you can clearly see the creativity and work going into all of the skins. Except the smite skinline of course.

Sadly it's not fantasy, elemental or futuristic but I giving want some goofy skins, like Neptune, smite, divine swine etc.

Always good giggles in a intense game
