Our community creates some awesome art, and we've picked out some that we love!

First, Home dog-Tom made this piece featuring Croak in school, and somehow makes it look perfectly natural:

Yet another screenshot, but y’all are just real good at catching Champions at just the right moment, Nana, who was featured last week, took this one as well.



http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1114644097

Finally, after that amazing Shifu art from last week by qassamzed, I went back through their pieces and came across this equally beautiful one of Sirius. I don’t know if it’s been posted here before, but I was certainly blown away.

Our community creates some awesome art, and we've picked out some that we love!

First, Home dog-Tom made this piece featuring Croak in school, and somehow makes it look perfectly natural:

Yet another screenshot, but y’all are just real good at catching Champions at just the right moment, Nana, who was featured last week, took this one as well.

Finally, after that amazing Shifu art from last week by qassamzed, I went back through their pieces and came across this equally beautiful one of Sirius. I don’t know if it’s been posted here before, but I was certainly blown away.
