Now a Senior VFX Artist at Riot Games, Sirhaian has made significant contributions to League of Legends as the artist behind numerous visuals and also as a game designer for the Swarm game mode. Recently, he showcased some of the VFX work he created for the League of Legends Arena's Noxus update and shared some insights about it.
