Cmon, don't tell me I was the only one.

In honor of the new champ and Jen Zee, the amazing artist behind Supergiants' games, but specifically Transistor, here's Ekko in Red's pose.

I take no credit for the pose, definitely Jen Zee's doing, but I did draw this taking inspiration identical to the picture posted below. Tried to mimic her legendary style, but to little avail.

UPDATE: did a background that I'm pretty satisfied with. Again, I try not to spend hours on fan art because it's not a valid portfolio piece (in my head).

That's really well done! You might get more attention for it over in the Community Creations board where fan art usually goes, though :)

When I first saw the concept pieces, I too got a really strong Transisitor vibe from our boy Ekko, and I have nothing but respect for the beauty and style of that amazing game. Do you think you'll be adding a background to your image, or did you achieve what you set out to, with the piece?

It's not like I wanted to play Transistor's OST again or anything, baka.

Sick art, and nice reference.

OMG I LOVE THE REFERENCE. ahem I need to control myself a notch. But seriously, I love the fact that peeps still appreciate the games like Transistor and Bastion. Besides that, this just makes me want Ekko even more.

Made this because i was bored, not saying it's perfect (I've never tried this sort of thing before). ;)

That should be a skin. Piltover Ekko or something

A Transistor styled game with Ekko would be quite something.

Damn, nice work. How long did this take you to draw, out of curiosity?

These are my new wallpaper forever. <3 On a side note very disappointed in myself for not picking up on the Transistor styles on Ekko seeing as Transistor is one of my top 3 games of all time.

I posted the exact same thing under the comments for the champion reveal. It's got 100+ upvotes, so you are not the only one who saw this connection.

Nice picture.

I was expecting something more along the lines of bastion?
