Hey everyone!

As you might have seen, Riot is hosting an Artistic Contest for those who want to express a champion's emotion in drawn form! While the link above is for the nitty gritty details, this thread in general is for you guys to discuss your art, share what you're working or maybe get an idea or two if you're up to enter but have no real idea on what champion to work on!

#Remember that the deadline for this contest is July 23rd (7/23) at 2:00 PM PDT so plan accordingly and don't wait til the last minute!

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot questions and we can try to help the best we can! Other than that, good luck and have fun drawing to your hearts content! (As well as discussing with other artists!)

EDIT: Contest is officially over Here are the winners!

So voting is up now... I'd like to share some feedback to the contest so far, because there are some things worth mentioning.

The goal of the contest was somewhat unclear I think. "Memotions" = Memes + Emotions ? Depending on how you interpreted it it's about emotions, memes or ingame emotes. They are similar, but different. This washyness makes judging difficult later.
Why public voting first ? This is really debateable but I am not a fan of mass entry voting. First it's random what you see and unless you browse through everything, the ones who are lucky enough to get views will be the ones to get votes. You can't vote for what you dont see, right ? If someone has social media followers, those would vote for his/her entry when linked to vote on via social media. Again, not great.
The Woobox preview you got after uploading was cropped, so maybe your name got cut off. You couldnt get a fullscreen view to check if it's just a preview or not though. Riot support advised to reupload corrected versions and so I did. Now I see that the older version are still in the contest, which brings up more problems...Dont people with duplicate entries have a higher chance of getting seen ? And do the votes get counted together or only one of the two ? If it's counted together in's kinda unfair because of the hiogher view chance, if it's only one you might have poeple that dont bother voting vor both or dont see both which splits the votes you would have gotten...
I think it would benefit everyone if Riot let a few of their people make a pre-election first. Remove duplicates, entries that dont match the criteria etc. After that you can let the public vote on a more manageable pool of entries. What is more efficient ? Let a few people browse through hundreds of entries or let all voters browse through hundreds of entries ?

I already posted some pieces but I am still unsure if this is meant for emotes like the ingame or forum emotes or just about a champions facial expressions?

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 16, 20182 votes

It's not really meant for anything other than sharing your art. :D

DontLetMeSupportJul 19, 20181 votes

I'd imagine it's a contest that rewards those who apply their talents to show appreciation for a game.

ToodleLuteJul 12, 20181 votes

Can we submit multiple times? Like different expressions?

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 12, 20181 votes

Yep!

Yep!

can we? the rules say CANT. :/ confused!

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 19, 20181 votes

It says you can but only the most recent entry will be used. AKA you can submit ten entries but the most recent will be used. In case you come up with a better idea, per se.

BrownTowelJul 21, 20181 votes

Sorry, I'm a bit confused -- this thread's saying that of multiple submissions only one will be shown to the public. However in the discussion here, Rioters' responses seem to be saying that multiple entries (as long as they're substantially different) will all be used/shown to be voted on, though only one prize can be won per person. Could you please clarify?

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 21, 20181 votes

Aye. What it means is that you can submit multiple entries, just not of the same one. So the most recent of -that- entry will be used Example: Varus face 1, Varus face 1.5 and Kayn face. Varus Face 1.5 and Kayn face will both show up while Varus Face 1 doesn't, as it's the same as 1.5 (With tweaks).

but does it have to be in the same file, like i have mine my old version of my art submitted but i made a better version of that, but i had saved it as another file. Does it conflict with that or does it not matter?

HasteJul 12, 20181 votes

I've resubmitted my entry after some retouches. Will that be ok?

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 12, 20182 votes

Yep! Duplicates are removed so your best looking work will be what people look at!

unkillablenekoJul 13, 20181 votes

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 13, 20181 votes

Submit and keep your code! Be sure to go vote on woobox too.

Hey can someone do a graphic where the champion applauds like there saying well played of something I think it's needed in the list of mememojis the best there is ;[slayer-pantheon-thumbs] this is the closest thing

ShädämJul 16, 20181 votes

I may be asking something obvious, but it says that we can vote for arts in the first phase. Exactly when or where can we vote or see the current submitted artworks? Or its only after the deadline?

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 18, 20181 votes

Replying because I made a mistake: Yes, we can vote! After the deadline is reached, the communtiy votes via woobox followed by Riot going over the top community entries.

i feel so scared to make anything, i have so many ideas for all champions but i dont my art to be insulted. i dont know what to do...

try it! dont be afraid. you can only get better if you try. we will support you :D

SilvarsparkJul 19, 20181 votes

I submitted my art but the preview I got afterwards was cropped in a way that it removed my summoner name. Is that just an unfortunate preview (why does it even get cropped ?) or is the image actually getting cut ? If it actually gets cut, I'd have to resubmit my entry so my summoner name is on it.

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 19, 20181 votes

I'd recommend resubmitting so your name appears on it. You can just tweak your finished art and resubmit at no penalty however!

DontLetMeSupportJul 19, 20181 votes

Oh thank God I found this.

SilvarsparkJul 26, 20181 votes

Well, turns out it wasnt cropped. Just a bad way of previewing an image. Maybe next time give us a fixed format that works with the woobox preview...or something like that.

ÉquinøxeJul 19, 20181 votes

so i get my entry code. what is the entry code? i have to keep it till the day of selection or i can use it now? if now, where?

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 19, 20181 votes

That entry code is a link to your submission when voting begins! Save it for now.

Cosiek 9992810Jul 20, 20181 votes

Where can I see all the entries? Also I think I accidently posted the same drawing two times. I hope it won't be considered as spam.

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 20, 20181 votes

You won't see ALL the entries but, when you vote on Woobox, you can go through a few of them. Also, Riot only uses your most recent submission so don't worry about spam.

Øni ŚenjutsuJul 20, 20181 votes

I need this answered as soon as possible by a riot employee, What if you have a name with special characters that WERE allowed by the game?(Like my name for example) Would I still be able to receive the reward or do I get nulled for trying to be a special snowflake? [sg-lulu]

I have the submission all ready to enter its just this that's got me worried.

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 20, 20181 votes

...?

You'd be fine and if worst came to worst, Riot can help you out. Relax, you're good. :P

Øni ŚenjutsuJul 20, 20181 votes

This has happened to me numerous times in other game contests. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

ShmeeveJul 22, 20181 votes

So we make random emotes and if they are the best of your picked choice they are put into the game?

BarakunJul 22, 20181 votes

Hello I made a submission and was wondering if it went through okay because when I followed the link I was given afterwards, it brings me to submission page again, is it supposed to do that or did something bug out?. Also it seems the preview got cut off few times so I resubmitted so entire picture is visible, hope it's okay.

ModCaptainMårvelousJul 22, 20182 votes

Hold onto that, that's for when the voting starts!

BarakunJul 22, 20181 votes

Ohh okay thank you! Was little worried it didn't go through
