NOWHERE TO RUN

Oh baby it's big dog time. Next up on my list in my current series of 2XKO champs is Warwick! He was actually different than the rest of the bunch because with Senna and Thresh I knew EXACTLY what I wanted the pieces to look like and it was genuinely kind of an easy workflow. With Warwick he fought me the whole way down, which like, typical of a feral beast of a man. At first I was unsure if I wanted to include SO MUCH red into the piece but I'm confident with how it came out and I think it complements itself wonderfully. Thanks for looking! P.S. Here's a side variation I really liked too

YOU WILL SUFFER

I can't believe 2XKO made a character for me and me only. Big normals style zoning while also having a gorgeous aquamarine and teal color scheme. He's PERFECT. Love him. 10/10 no notes. To achieve his big flame collar, in game it's a lot more wispy and not as angular but I wasn't liking how it was coming out into the piece so I ended up referencing his key art (seen here)

2XKO visual design genuinely has me by the throat all the time, 100% of the time, so I did yet ANOTHER style study but this time based on the new champ coming to the game, Senna!

Alright! So! Brand new on my merch shop I've started a mini collection called "Accelerate Archives" which basically consists of designs of mine from about 2023 or older that never really went anywhere. First up in this collection is my old dearly beloved Shadow The Hedgehog design! This was created back when Sonic Movie 2 was announced and I was over the MOON with hype. I'm really glad I get to finally give this merch the spotlight it deserves however now the gamble is whether or not SEGA is going to copyright strike me into oblivion. Fingers crossed!

Add another tally to the "Calico got inspired by 2XKO marketing material" column. 2XKO put out a trailer today teasing their new in-game fuse that's coming super soon on the 12th and the visual look of it was so intriguing that I had to make a little something about it. I've created a funky little banner before as a study of their content roadmap as seen below.
