Prestige Chosen of the Wolf Swain
Our team reimagined the ruthless Noxian tactician through the lens of the Prestige thematic, a world where champions embody opulence and power at a grand, fantastical event (think MET Gala) wearing luxury fashion interpretations of the theme of the release - in this case, Chosen of the Wolf.
Our goal was to preserve his calculating authority while celebrating the bold elegance of the Prestige line. We designed a dramatic suit ensemble that fused couture extravagance with Noxian and wolf motifs from the Chosen of the Wolf thematic. His replacement arm, wings, ravens, and visual effects became conduits for crystalline energy that reframed his power source as diamonds and refracted light.
The result is a Swain who radiates unsettling confidence, a master tactician dressed to kill.
Skin Bio: An esteemed warrior and strategist, Swain brings his refined taste and unparalleled attire to both the hunt and the Gala. Menacing and dignified with a dash of disdain, his competition fears him when he hits the runway. Although he'll do whatever it takes to secure his victory, he lets onlookers know that fashion is what really matters.
In Game View Concept
Orthographic Concept
Q Ability (Death's Hand) VFX Concept- Swain unleashes several bolts of power that pierce through enemies. Enemies hit take more damage for each bolt they are struck by.
W Ability (Vision of Empire) VFX Concept - Swain opens an eye that deals damage and slows enemies. Champions hit are revealed and also grant Swain a Soul Fragment.
E Ability (Nevermove) VFX Concept - Swain launches a wave of power forward. It then returns to Swain and roots enemies it hits. Swain can then choose to pull all rooted champions closer. This ability has a shorter cooldown during Demonic Ascension.
R Ability (Demonic Ascension) VFX Concept - Swain transforms into a demon and drains health from nearby enemy champions, minions, and neutral monsters. Swain can cast Demonflare to decimate and slow nearby enemies with a nova of soulfire. This form is indefinite as long as Swain drains enemy champions
