Zed - League of Legends Concept

This piece was created as a concept art for an unreleased Riot games - League of Legends project. It was a two man effort with Alex Liki responsible for conceptualizing and all the modeling. I was responsible for all the texturing, lighting, effects (smoke), composition and final color. 
Textures were painted in substance painter along with a fair amount of procedural RenderMan nodes inside maya. The image was rendered in Pixar's RenderMan 21.
