LEAGUE OF LEGENDS KATARINA ANIMATED SPLASH ART
With the release of the epic "Welcome to Noxus" cinematic from League of Legends I was completely fascinated and inspired to create something based on this incredible universe for this collaboration personal project. I came across this amazing artwork by the talented @inawong and decided to animate it using Spine 2D for movement and After Effects for VFX and parallax effects, adding more depth and immersion to the scene.
