Sorry to uh... pop the bubble. But the centered splash arts were removed from the PBE

Yeah they removed the centered splash arts, bud ;-;

Graves just looks so cringey without the cigar

you're wrong

I don't understand why this isn't blowing up, but the splash arts are back on the pbe

I didn't alter any pictures. Oh i see, you thought I made the number 2 picture. LOL thats the not the case at all. Im sorry I guess I made the mistake of believing that the 2nd picture was an actual official RIOT center based splash. My bad, that second image was one that I got from another summoners post, its not my work at all. Based on your reaction I guess it is safe to assume that the second picture is NOT from RIOT. I did not alter the picture to prove my point.

"Splash art, not skin. :P It seems to be an unifinished version of a splash that was being made before his VU (notice the design) but then they probably decided to update his visuals so they remade the splash with the same scene and pose but with a different design." - DwarvenGiant

Yes one is different, so Ill try another reference. Hows this

Here I believe both of these are officially from RIOT, not altered at all by me to make a point. I guess its all up to opinion. But I still believe that the 1st uncentered splash is better. It makes you feel in the moment, its action packed, it puts you in the same setting makes you feel the same things that Graves felt in that moment. The uncentered splash with all the details is the culmination of what it is the BE GRAVES (now, please Grave-cigar-loving fans please don't jump on me for "liking thew one without the cigar better, for any reason you come up with", thats another point for a different argument, COMPLETELY unrelated to the point I make now). The cented splash dilutes all that, it dilutes his character and that moment. My point is that you spent all that time on the original splash and it looks good, the other details are NOT distracting, they add to the image. My point is that its a waste to cover it up and it takes away from the essence of the art.

This, along with a bunch of other old splashes (Even an unreleased one for Alistar) were in that batch of Centered Splashes, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. :P

I really dislike the centered splash arts what was the point of doing all that extra, and really quite beautiful work, just then to have it bge blurred out. I really dont see the point it makes it all look ugly to me. What do you guys think?
