So grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work on DWG Nidalee's human, cougar and recall prop assets! I've been watching Worlds and competitive LoL since 2012 (CLG EU 4ever haha <3) and never have I then imagined I would end up working on a skin for the winner of Worlds a few years later :') I also feel very lucky for it to have been Nida, mainly because her cougar form pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to work on a kitty cat (hi hello, I'm a shameless cat lady) :D
She was a massive team effort, huge thanks to my lovely team:
