For the release of God-King Darius in Teamfight Tactics: Lore & Legends, we partnered with Histeria! to create the launch animation “Tyrant’s Fall.” Shaping the narrative in collaboration with writer Sarah Westerfield Kondeati, I emphasizing a visual direction focusing on bold, traditional textures like charcoal lines, limited color palettes, and aggressive impact frames inspired by anime such as Berserk and Castlevania.

Executed via full animation over 3D environments, this approach allowed for dramatic camera work while maintaining a raw, illustrated energy. My goal was to make Darius’ presence feel so powerful it appears to break containment within the frame—and Histeria! absolutely delivered.
