Just finished up my "Moonlit Tango" piece for the #zugzugchallenge! It was quite the experience and it was great to address feedback from fellow like-minded artists. Check out the artstation post for a closer look at the details👀

@raspbearyart @cupidemotes WELCOME BACK WE MISSED YOU 😭

[Bearded Shepherd @BeardedShepher1]

@cocabobi @drewlevin LIKE THIS IS THE MOMENT SHE FLASHES BY THE WAY, SIR.

[Bearded Shepherd @BeardedShepher1]

@cocabobi @drewlevin Biggest giveaways for me from same game. INSTANTLY flashed out of Graves Q, PRECISELY at the last frame when it would have hit. Isn't even a flash to where she would accidentally flash forward or anything. Makes no sense that a human would do this. NEW FAKER.

@medardra This is neither early nor OFFICIAL concept art for Katarina. It was purely experimental and even stated as something they would never ship in the game especially for how different it is for her. That said, it’s still a damn shame she didn’t make it before game died.

[Bearded Shepherd @BeardedShepher1]

@BnTgrr My primary main is Katarina but my top 2 are Zoe and Seraphine.

FIRST TIME MASTERS LFG

@tw_xhia Would likely be a risk if I made this skin publicly avalible without ensuring people actually own the chromas before allowing them to play a version of the skin which integrates them. To ensure this doesn’t happen, I ask that people reach out via DM with proof of ownership.

[Bearded Shepherd @BeardedShepher1]

For those who have this mod, please note that it's been updated! Should be working fine now. Will try to get around to fixing up my other skins that are having issues over the next few weeks.

[Bearded Shepherd @BeardedShepher1]

So I made Battle Queen Katarina into an ultimate 👑

Code to swap between models and textures was already there but wasn't pushed? I wonder if she initially slated to be an ultimate but held back because of timelines

@anninosj @_Penguill_ My favorite character!!

[Bearded Shepherd @BeardedShepher1]

@Ulchete Thanks! And yes, I'd love to make it! Currently juggling a lot of projects, but I'll still make an effort. If you have any feedback on the VFX, on what could be better or more aligned with your vision for the skinline, pls lmk!! Willing to make adjustments before I start

[Bearded Shepherd @BeardedShepher1]

Gorgeous skin! Love your Elysium skinline and how Seraphine fits within. I'd love to make a custom skin VFX tutorial video to show people how they can create in-game VFX and use this as an example since it's a unique skinline. I drew up some VFX concepts WYT?👀🌟 #seraphine

[Ulchete 🌸 @Ulchete]

Elysium Seraphine !!! ⭐️

[Bearded Shepherd @BeardedShepher1]

And credit for some really amazing skins too! Mafia Braum's reinterpretation looks super dapper, Vandal looks badass af, FINALLY we got a Pool Party Darius and Arcade Vi. This is the shit we LOVE to see, Riot!! I really hope some of those exclusives eventually come to League.

(1/4) I'll be honest... I thought 2XKO looked great from this initial teaser. The style was very cool and had grit. Plus THERE WAS KATARINA. MY GIRL. Her movesets looked so good, and I would've loved a chance to play her. But for some reason we had a huge prioritization...

(4/4) of passion and love into the game. I'm going to miss seeing those cool new skins and especially some of my favorite champions being expanded on in really fantastic ways outside of the limited views we get within League. This was a really expensive lesson for Riot.

[Bearded Shepherd @BeardedShepher1]

(3/4) to pretty much strike the same note as Blitzcrank. Obviously, the failure is not just one issue, but a combination of a few, including the difficulty of live service, which is absurdly competitive and oversaturated. That said, I feel pretty bad for the devs who put a lot...
