I believe the rules specified that the art submitted can only be done once the contest was announced, and no artworks that you were working on before the contest was announced.
Thanks for the comments everyone! KemoPaw- I actually started both of these yesterday morning right after the initial announcement, even posted the first wips on facebook for some Riot folks to check out. All this work is being created specifically for this contest.
Flaxor- Actually thats the plan, although I will likely only get through 30-40 and choose one to paint up for the contest but I will go back after and draw out all the champs. As always thanks for stopping by and commenting everyone! New champ: Ezreal
Hi Everyone, So I thought I would mix up my process a little this time and spend a good month or so banging out some drawings of a bunch of various champions and based on general feedback/reception after I have a bunch out there I will pick one to push to final. First up Ahri: Cho'Gath
