Is any chance in hell that a Riot artist would want to help me with simple sketches to propose?

Over 5 years ago my girlfriend and I (30 & 25 now) met on this game through mutual friends. It's truly an amazing and crazy story, gladly shared if you want, but for the sake of this request I'll keep it short to avoid a text wall. I have a really elaborate plan to propose, and part of that involves a short illustrated story of lives with half league champs half us used in fictional metaphor of our life thus far. I'm kind of guessing around 15-16 pages max. Very simple, b/w no background, no detail. Initially had my childhood friend lined up to do it, but he got hired with cartoon network and had to bail on it. I'm one of the least artistic people ever, but I was gonna default to do it 'til I had this idea. If any of you have a soft spot and would wanna help please let me know. It would mean the world to me. It's not like the yes is in compromise, we've talked about it, it'll happen. I just want to make this the most insane experience ever for her and heck having an actual Riot artist involved would absolutely floor her. My next up option is commissioning anyone that would want to help so please also feel free to hit me up with rates if you're interested. At the very least I'll do it by hand as more of a jest, but I really would have appriciate something well done to give her.

Thanks for reading, Catbug

Let me see if I can get you in touch with someone. No guarantees of course...but this is fucking adorable.

Just commenting here so I don't lose this post. I'm a college student studying game design, level design, and scripting for games. I'm gonna go make something cool for the presentation (a little virtual gallery that you can use to show her all the stuff during the proposal). This is going to be a prototype, I'm willing to keep working on it though if you want. Be back in a few hours/days.

Btw. Today's my B-day so I don't know if it will be done today.

Edit: Gonna Make it modular so you can open the file and just put all the images in and have it work.

this is the cutest thing ive ever seen on these boards and if you dont keep us updated as it develops i will never forgive you

if you dont already know exactly what you want it to be (which im guessing you do but for the sake of "what if") i recommend doing it with yalls favorite champs as the focal point. im a writer so again assuming you dont have it all planned out already and you want help feel free to message me :)

I love rioters. Anyways, you could break up the idea into pages and ask the community for help drawing each page. People could volunteer for each one (have 3-4 people on each in case people fall through/are better intentioned than Skilled). It’d be stylistically inconsistent, but if the person Maple Nectar is trying to get can’t do it, this could be a plan B before plan C of you doing the entire thing/what isn’t done by others.

Not sure if sad or amusing but i actually did this for someone...i wrote a 7-chapter story for a special person and she loved them too.

They were essentially League-fantasy stories with her as the protagonist and it was heavily influenced by our relationship with references to people we knew and jokes we made between each other.

But, unfortunately, that story ended on a cliffhanger for reasons..

please please keep us updated this sounds sooooo cool. I need to know what happens next!

Also are we just gonna gloss over the fact that your friend got hired for cartoon network lol? I find that cool. Nonetheless I hope everything works out for you! and congrats!
