God-King Darius is one of two characters within this skinline, alongside his sworn rival, Garen of Demacia. Working with writer Sarah Westerfield Kondeati, we built a story around Darius's arrival in the enemy city and the destruction that follows.

I wanted the cinematic to feel bigger and more visceral than a typical TFT story beat, drawing on anime-inspired visual language to sell the scale and power of the character.

I pulled references from series and films including Berserk, Castlevania, and One Punch Man, exploring how each approached movement, impact, and the feeling of an imposing character moving through a city.

I translated those references into a visual direction and pitch brief for our external production partner, Histeria, who developed the sequence in 3D before hand-painting each frame to achieve the final stylized look.
