Ahri Pool Party

Here's one of my favorite skins which I got to work on for 2XKO! After a few years on the project, I wasn't working directly on assets anymore and our pipeline had evolved quite a bit. Therefore, I made time to get back into the trenches and work directly on a skin so I could refresh my knowledge on all our new tools and workflow.

For years, Pool Party Ahri has been a meme both at Riot and within the player community. Therefore, I was really excited to contribute to this little slice of League lore. Time was scarce at this point of production so I ended up working on her on my evenings and week-ends. This made for a somewhat special working experience since I did a lot of it from home when things were quiet. I truly loved working on this character and I'm glad she's been so well received by the 2XKO community!
