In preparation for April, Riot Games has issued a challenge to its player base. If your heart lies close to art and you’re real talented in the way of the paintbrush – do not apply. Because we need the most cursed scribbles to ever grace the face of the earth to make their way on Riot Games’ official Twitter handle. And we need them NOW! The contest is well underway, but there’s still plenty of time for the aspiring worst artists to make their masterpieces seen by millions. So hurry up before April comes!
Rules: Keep it cursed. Keep it appropriate.

If you’re just here to enjoy the fine arts – like me – I wholeheartedly applaud your decision to sit this one out while enjoying the view. In fact, let’s make doing that easier for your viewing pleasure: enjoy a compilation of the best submitted masterpieces.
The Ruined King
Although seemingly crudely drawn at the first glance, it’s probably the most detailed picture out of them all so far. Still a better lore piece than the official Ruination event. Created by @the_string_king.
The pentakill incident
The effects, the expressions, the attention to detail. All in all, a true cinematic masterpiece and an instant hood classic. If this doesn’t make it to Riot’s handle I’m going to be very upset. Created by @GurvirShinda.
Jinx, I crave lasagna
If you got the Journal of Justice reference, you must be an epic and cool League of Legends veteran (just like me). @RundtArt has created a banger featuring the most controversial champion in LoL’s history – Garfield.
Phoenix down
It’s unclear to me whether this picture is supposed to be a Smiling Friends reference, but I can’t help but think of it when I see this peculiarly-shaped Phoenix. Thanks @KhoiMaxim for reminding us that it’s Riot Games, not Riot Game.
JoJo reference (for real)
An amazing piece by @tritsukill. I know I’ve said good artists no need apply, but this is just the right mix of goofiness and actual effort for this to work. Also, Evelynn is a fundamentally broken champion and shouldn’t be in the game (along with all other permanent camouflage champs). Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
There’s way more art pieces by the fans down under Riot’s post, so be sure to check them out. And don’t shy away from submitting your own! Still plenty of time left, so better get drawing.
