Huge team effort to bring Teemo to life in 2XKO. Happy to share some of my contributions. I was lucky enough to animate his cinematic intro and outro. Had a lot of fun working on these and the team crushed it. Play Teemo right now in 2XKO Early Access!

@thomashawk I also moved to SF in the 90's, had 10 great years there. My career then took me to NY for 10 years (back in bay now) but I loved NYC and photographing there. I'm a bit timid hearing photographers being attacked in SF but I'd love to re-explore the city with my camera. I miss it.

@junkfoodarcades Any slight chance you might put out more 2023 EVO MICRO editions?

[Dave Vasquez @davemvasquez]

@ScreamStreaming @riotgames Thanks so much Alyssa! 😁

[Dave Vasquez @davemvasquez]

Here's some intro/outro cinematics of Ekko and Ahri I did for #ProjectL @riotgames. Ekkos animations were a combined effort by myself and Dave Han so definitely look out for his too. Huge team effort to get these from concept to completion and I'm honored to be a part of it!

[Dave Vasquez @davemvasquez]
