I worked for Riot Games for about 10 years, creating characters, Environments, Icons, UI, crests, and world building as a principal concept artist. In this video I share many of the thought processes and iterative work that goes into designing a faction crest for league of legends.

Maaan! Please make more of these videos. It's gold to see your design iterations. We would neither find it online or in art books. I have Diablo 3 art book with some of your designs and I was geeking out looking at them. But this video soaked me in for an hour.
Please!
I mean, bro you are the reason why I played this game for 9 years non-stop. I loved the way this game looked, everything you created is literally one of the best art work in game I saw. Be proud of yourself realy !!!
No, way. You are the one who designed them? I love the faction crests so much
It is what sealed the world-building for me. I wish something as cool as them existed in real life.
He did a lot of the HearthStone crest and some characters too you might be interested in checking out if you like these
Super helpful Trent, as usual! I work as a concept artist in the industry and everything you show or talk about is very accurate. Your videos helped me a lot during my junior years!! Keep it up!
Trent, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your videos. I've watch so many of them and each one feels like a master class. I would love to watch more videos like this, and I am so stoked that Twilight Monk is just around the corner!
this is why those crests and the factions were so amazing and recognizable, it was a looot of work and talent people behind it, as always
Love these long form videos. It's always great to get an inside look into the artist's thought process and workflow. Really inspiring stuff.
Time to DRAW!!!
Thank you so much for doing this long-form, unedited deep dive into your work. I’ve loved the faction League crests ever since they came out, with Demacia being my favorite especially. The time, effort, and attention to details like color ratios, materials, and shape language 100% paid off. There is a noticeable level of quality and care that went into these that the Warcraft ones don’t have (even though they too look awesome). They feel so thematic, polished and emblematic of their respective regions. Keep creating and I wish you all the success with your studio.
Also, you designed the EXODAR in Burning Crusade?!? You, sir, are my hero.
"Stunning work, Trent! Your designs brought Noxus to life! Huge fan of your art⚔️🏆🔥💥”
Oh my god, you're the one who designed these? That is so cool mate! I loved how Shurima and Targon ended up! Thanks for making each factions feel unique and special.
Very fun, thanks! I am working on writing my second book, and just started a worldbuilding sketchbook to play with the aesthetics of things as I chug along through the world. I loved creating crests and such back in the day (graphic designer background), so this was a nice reminder of that. Sat down and started just playing with crests and faction symbols while I listened.
Thanks!
I LOVE seeing the raw actual concept *design* works, the dialogue in designing visuals for game/film and what else. This is why I became a concept artist!
Damn, I always admired those crests, but never knew that one of my favorite artist made them. Good job! Would love to see the render process or how to do.
That was really interesting Trent! Obviously doing this kinda design work for this long and going this deep into the teeny tiny details sounds really daunting (especially since I've never actually worked in any game studio) but it's interesting to see your process and all the things to think about when doing these. I'm impressed at how you can just create shapes and detail like that. I already struggle doing one iteration when I'm designing stuff for school or myself hahah, but I hope I'll have the skills one day to design stuff even 1% as good as your designs
As a graphic designer that also works with indies doing all 2d stuff this was incredibly cool to learn about.i even use spine!( primary,nowadays)
Dang to know Trent designed these icons/insignias is so amazing. These are my favorite league Icons and collected most of them during my time playing the game.
Very iconic logos for the regions, PEAK work
thank you for recording this trent, its great insight to something i have looked at a lot in the past- and putting it on while rendering some work was a great way to spend the time!:)
Ty for your great work 💯👍
Its so fucking cool content man. I were a huge fan of lol art and, honestly, those designs and worldbuilding inspired me to start an art journey, and its so cool to listen how someone actually worked on this.
You are truly inspiring)
This is amazing, thank you; I have been working on the crests of my comic universe, the individual characters, the tribes, larger organized kingdoms and the few empires that exist as well
Awe-some video! Thanks Trent for showing some behind the scenes work at Riot. I would love to see more of this type of work 🎉
Super awesome stuff to see, shifting a bit of my mentality. I don't think I could redo then that much yet, but it's a benchmark. Just building that patience is important. Beautiful stuff man, thanks for the vid 🔥
Thank you for sharing this, there are a handful of things I never considered before and I got some good notes from this. I loved the term Culture Kit describing these it was the exact phrase/ term to really help me keep this in my mind! I personally would love to see more of these videos they are very satisfying and have a lot of lovely information. Such amazing work!
This is such an incredibly valuable video for the processes and philosophy behind concept art. It's really fascinating seeing/hearing about the iterations and reasoning for each. I'm not sure I would have the patience for such a process yet, as I know my skills would hinder me - but if I had the skill I'd absolutely love to do crest/symbol design of such an intricate nature!
Thanks again for sharing this with us! You continue to inform and impress.🤟
This was great to listen to and look up at while designing some characters. Thanks Trent, very much appreciated ❤
Always incredible to hear from an industry vet. Gave me so many things to think about and consider while designing
I don’t think I would have the tenacity to work for months on these 😅 But the designs and aestethic you developped for these crests definitely set an example for what to shoot for, even for simpler things as an indie, you’re a gold mine of inspiration as always
Amazing video. I'm also so releived to hear just how much work and resources went into designing these.
I often have to design crests for fictional countries, but I usually get like 30min to do so. Yet in my head I compare my work to what I see in media, which can be really disheartening.
Also I appreciate the tips and thought process you shared on what goes into making these crests. I hope I can use them and do a better job : )
Thanks for the video Trent this was enlightning. My God... 4 years designing/drawing crests that almost like identical. Now i get it why most of the artist recommend doing personal drawing/project on the side.
Even when this is paid, this kinda thing can drove some artist mad.
This video helped me realize that taking things slow can be helpful if you have the right process. One of the most informative video's I've seen. I good luck with twilight monk I hope it ends up being better than you could of ever initially imagined. God Bless. 🙏
I found this video very interesting and informative. I'd love to see more like it. It's really cool to see the iterations and the thought processes behind them.
Great video, this is essentially what you do in industrial design. If you are working at ford, chances are unless you are the lead designer you are designing a million variations of the next head light, center console, rims. Or maybe you are at dewalt you are designing a thousand variations of the pistol grip for the next drill. At epson you are going to spend 2 years developing the next printer. The fact of the matter is that design by nature is an iterative process. It can be a little frustrating at times, but it's still a lot of fun.
Working as an industrial designer, I have spent a year designing variations for a single product. So I believe I have the patience for it. I'm in the process of building a portfolio for games and animation. I have a character design portfolio I developed for animation, but O hasn't had much luck with it as yet. There are probably aspects of it that need to be improved. If you have time, I would love some feedback.
Trent, thank you for this video, I'm still an upcoming artist, I would really aporeciate it if you mad a video on " HOW TO MANAGE EMOTIONS" while working for and with game companies
Awesome stuff, Trent! It's hard to comprehend how much work has gone into those crests. It was a very informative and motivating video. Thank you for sharing your process.
I LOVE this video! Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us Trent
I absolutely loved this video! Please make more like this!!!
This is sick! I’ve always loved these crests. They each really captured the vibe of each location. Not an artist, but even I could get some symbolism in some.
Very interesting video and I hope you can do a part two with the remaining LoL crests!
I definitely would not have the patience to work that long on a single design with sometimes miniscule changes between the different iterations. It would certainly drive me mad.
I really enjoyed this video! I want to be a concept artist so this behind the scenes i formations are a gem for me! thanks!
I loved this vido. amazing insight into the world and the concept behind. hope to see more of this! amazing work
love this video Trent, and would love to see more especially around world building design. Creative vision for IP, design docks (Art bible for project) especially from you becouse you crated amazing worlds!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Awesome stuff.
Nice video, no, nice lesson!
As an aspiring artist, this is a big insight in the inner mechanisms of the game industry and of the process of concept design
loved the video and ive played league for a long time and its always cool to see more of your work that went into the game. im definetily going to try out this months challenge.
Probably one of the coolest design videos I’ve seen in a while-awesome insight you are probably one of the reasons I liked league so much - every penny was well spent by them. Btw @necrit watch this video!
Awesome video Trent. I might try doing some crest designs :)
I dont know if you're aware (probably are) but those early crests that at first were based on roles did make it to the game, for a while there were some missions that you could do for every class (ranged, tank, assassin etc) and get an icon with the final iteration of the role crests you designed
I find not know that! Thanks for the info!
@@TrentKaniuga No wories! if you search League of Legends Gameplay Role Icons you should find them, obviously there were alot of changes but the original concepts are the ones you showed!
Also thank you for your amazing videos, you are one of my big inspirations in wanting to become an artist in the game industry!
This was super interesting! Thanks Trent!
Even as a 3d artist / designer you can learn a lot from this :D
I think this is complete madness, but maybe its all about having the mental energy and having like those mind connectios built to just iterate and make new ideas, so for the time being, I don't think I got the mental strenght for so much iterations, but hopefully with more knowledge and skill more iterative process comes into my way, thanks! This video is such a resource to study, Maybe I'll design some crets for my portfolio sounds like a goos job to do!
Ofc i'm an "ace" (if i understood well (english not my native language)) cause your video was super interesting from start to end. Excellent designs and choices. As a modeler, you don't even know how much i would like to model dozen of them ! lol. Thanks for the video.
Greeeeaaaat video. A good look inside the not so visible part of game or concept design. All in all this is fun in my opinion, especially when you have financial stability behind you. You can basically focus with no worry and have all your attention on delivering the best work of the demand. 👍🏾 Much success to you and the Twilight Monk game, series and franchise. If your ever looking to add another member from California to the team I'm available (shameless self plug, in my Trent voice)😏. Great video
Id love to see a similar video like this about the stuff you did on Overwatch! ^^
This is a masterclass! I love it! Thanks for the video.
That emblem clearly doesn't represent their constant need to spin to win? DEMACIA!!
Art gramps is coming in clutch once again
Damn, this content was so necessary! Thank you!
More of these please!
Amazing video dude, I learn so much from this one and tbh I never Imagine I'll find something like this on UA-cam and damn, Riot really burn money back in the day frfr, no wonder why their game still have tons of player
Dude this is siick. Thank you for this Trent, hope all is well man!
Edit: NGL i'd probably pay for a video on the others..damn🔥
Double Edit: I'd absolutely lose my mind doing that for so long but I'm sure you'd learn SO much from that for sure.
This is great! It's logo design but fun. This is the kind of stuff I'd actually want to do.
1 hour Trent video? What is this, christmas?
Greetings from Tokyo 😊❤
Ohh babayy
Bazzzongaa
WOowwzzaaa
Yeahhhhhhhhh
Main Man comes through again!!
❤🙏🙏🙏❤️
🤙🎨🖌💪🫠
this type of shit is my crack man. i live for this shit. better then sex
I don’t have the patience for re iteration. I can barely keep it together for working on multiple watercolor paintings in Art school😂
I thing this is the best video for me! Thank you Trent!
I'm absolutely flabbergasted 😮
im defiantly going to use this video to practice it just looks too good for me not to
this video is gold !!
I loved this video. Would I do 20+ pages of a singular crest? No. But 5-7, I think I could do that.
omg, thankkkk uuu bro
very cool vid, thanks heaps
this is gold
Greatest video I've seen from you!
What is the resolution you usually work at when designing things? Many artists that I know use low resolutions below 1920*1080 when designing things and then upscaling them when the client approves.
What hardware and software do you use? Love your art!
Did you do Ixtal too? Not as much of a fan of that one than these. Still good tho.
I love u dude
great👍👍
❤❤
