The design is heavily influenced by the "Death Knight" archetype—specifically the tragic fall of Arthas Menethil. Just as Arthas traded his light for the cold power of the Scourge, Dreadknight Garen represents a darker, more cinematic version of the character. A top-down look at Dreadknight Garen.
This skin is a great nod to the Warcraft lore that helped shape the early days of League of Legends. I wanted to translate that dark, cinematic "Death Knight" energy into a pixel art animation.

Once a valiant hero, Dreadknight Garen fell to the promise of power great enough to save his land. Now, twisted by the corrupting magic of his Master, he commands the frozen legions in their march upon the living. Only desolation remains in his wake.
One soul claimed. More will follow.
