Riot K-9 Nasus

Other Nasus splash are like new SR "smooth" and very subtle. K-9 seems to have big contrast, the background is just a smudge of a wreckage with burning fire if you look closely. His body has shadows and lit up spots and the art style simply seems to be very unqiue and different from other Nasus skins, opinions?

On the side note, why is Nasus smacking his enemies with the wrong side of the baton? He uses the "blunt" side where the sidebar extends out instead of the lethal side. Found it intersting.
