So, how do we visually represent these vibes through composition and pose? It starts with a couple of rough sketches, where we pick the direction she’s floating in the air, and give a subtle understanding of her role. She also has a youthful intensity and playful personality. From a character perspective, she is an Agent defined by her source of power. When it comes to what we consider our VALORANT “key art” (the image you see everywhere to promote new stuff), the process begins with thinking from your perspective: what feeling do we want to give you and what do you want to experience?įor Astra, we wanted to show her Controller role in some way. It’s more about that, and less about rendering them realistically-and it’s a pretty tough balance to manage! VALORANT “KEY ART” One thing that is always important is focusing on keeping the shapes really cool and exciting. We strive to emphasize what is most important for the character so you can understand them at a glance.
We use them so we can explore multiple options without committing, making the whole process time effective, since we can’t go back once we move on to the next steps.ĭuring this process, we keep in mind who the character is, what their attitude and personality are like, if they have distinct features, e.g. Each Agent illustration should really stand on its own while maintaining a style and coherence with the rest of the VALORANT world.Įvery Agent illustration starts with a “thumbnail” as shown above. Like gameplay, it’s not enough just to have something new.
As part of Episode 2 Act 2, we just added Astra, our newest VALORANT Agent.
