When Omega Squad Teemo was released, it became one of my favorite skins. I liked how it took a normally happy and cheerful champ and gave him a darker, more serious personality. I immediately wanted to see what my main () would be like in that universe, which led to this concept.

Design:

• Helmet - If his helmet looks a bit like Master Yi's, that's because it is. The idea is that Master Yi dies and Wukong dawns Yi's helmet in his honor. It's been modified with a gas mask like the one Omega Squad Teemo has and is covered with a green hood to allow Wukong to blend into the jungle better.

• Staff- A big challenge with this design was Wukongs staff. It couldn't really work well as a gun, but staffs are not exactly common in modern day military eather. In the end, I went with a combination of a combat knife and a stun baton to make a bladed electro staff.

Q- Crushing Blow: On activation, his staff starts sparking with green electricity on each end. on hit, the electricity discharges and adds an electric effect on top of the normal armor break particles for his Q. I figured it would be easier to read if it kept the red armor break circle, so I kept it and added an electrified effect.

W- Decoy: Wukong creates a decoy via the Hologram projector in the first picture. The projector is only visible to himself and allies. Originally I had it spinning like Wukongs normal decoy before disappearing with a digital particle effect instead of a poof of smoke, but then I realized that Wukongs decoy hits all enemies in an AOE at once:

Because of that, it got me thinking "what if the decoy exploded at the end instead of spin?" So the hologram now detonates similar to one from Omega Squad Teemo's Shrooms.

E- Nimbus Strike: Wukong throws two holograms and dashes forward. The dash effect is supposed to look like Teemo's W on activation: http://www.noobabble.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/W1.png

R- Cyclone: Wukong spins and electrifies his staff. Every time an enemy is hit, it shows an electric particle effect.

>Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at drawing concept art. I don't have any good digital art programs and Don't have much experiance drawing without a model to look at aside from random doodles. I'm just starting to get a feel for doing art like this and seeing what does and doesn't work, so I apologize if it looks a bit crummy :p

If anyone has some thoughts to improve this concept or questions, feel free to leave a comment.
