A Dark gambit_Atakhan concept

I also worked on the "A Dark Gambit" cinematic for the 2025 season of League of Legends, the second part after "Welcome to Noxus," as Art Director with https://www.artstation.com/charlotte_oneill at Fortiche Productions.
Here is a quick design/concept for the character Atakhan, created in parallel with Adrien Gennevillier's (@adrien_gnlr) character design work.
The goal was to find a mood, how its viscous veil formed. How to blend a demonic and humanoid being while remaining organic and horrific.
