Pyke, the Bloodharbor Ripper

Been looking forward to this splash a looong time, I've always wanted to do a Bilgewater character!! Someone pointed out that this is my first New Champion splash (the others were skins and reworks). It is therefore my great pleasure to introduce Pyke, the assassin support!

I want to give a special shoutout to Jason Chan, who gave me the awesome idea for the splash (we were talking at dinner and I rushed to my desk to make the thumbnail that would become the final), to Alex Flores for getting me through the perilous late-middle stage of the splash (where things tend to fall apart), and to Josh Smith for helping me get it through the finish line.

But really I want to say thank you to the whole illustration team and Pyke squad, I'll never get over how awesome it is to have such inspirational peers! And I want to thank all of you for inspiring me to keep going, even though it's fucking hard ^^;
