Attention! All of you League of Legends fans who have a dose of creativity and imagination and are ready to show it to the audience, get ready to sharpen your creative skills. Maybe you know how to work in one of the graphic programs, or you have an idea for an artwork that you can show in a basic Paint program; no matter where it is, it is important to turn that thought in your head into a finished product—not interested?
Well, you know that skin you’ve wanted for a long time, but you don’t have enough RP to buy it? How will you react when you hear that Riot rewards his loyal, creative fans with RP if they submit their artwork? This is exactly what you can read about in this article, so keep scrolling.
For all long-time League of Legends players, it has become a tradition that when they need Riot Points, they send their drawings, Riot laughs at them, the drawing may go viral, and they get their little gift in the form of Riot Points. Riot accepts everything – from your favorite champions’ made in most ordinary Paint program to top works in the Photoshop program.
Of course, this is a place where talents from all over the world come to the fore, and even the most ordinary artworks can be found, as for example, caricature of a few mushrooms and Teemo in the lane, or something even more funnier.
In an interview known as Ask Riot which is published a few years ago, Riot stunned his loyal fans by saying they had received more than 24,000 RP Art Tickets in just a few months. Of course, like any loyal company that values its players and their efforts, they had to reward them.
As they themselves stated, since the beginning of this crazy tradition, they have received over 300,000 RP Art submissions; to this day, that number is undoubtedly even higher. They also added that if they gave each player approximately 25 Riot Points, we could easily calculate that Riot shared over 7,500,000 Riot Points from the start. Riot appreciates creative talents, that’s for sure. Do you need more motivation to send your piece of art?

Final Thoughts
Do you think that you have enough creativity, talent and the ability to turn your thoughts into a piece of art? Are you willing to spend a few hours to get your artwork started, finished, and ready to show the League of Legends to the community? You’re not the only one, Riot has received more than 300,000 fan artworks so far, and everyone who submitted their art masterpiece has been awarded a certain amount of Riot Points.
We don’t have to lie, sometimes you need a few Riot Points to buy a skin or a new champion or something else that catches your eye. But maybe you can’t really afford to spend money because you have to save it for something else, and also you don’t want to ask someone to buy it for you. That’s why Riot is here to reward you appropriately because you’ll make him laugh and because he’ll appreciate you putting in your time to do fan artwork and send it to the League of Legends support team.
The plan is simple: make your fan artwork in any program, you can in Paint or Photoshop, or choose some other program; that decision is up to you. Then save that work and send it to the Riot support team; you can write them what you want to buy with your artwork and why you need a certain amount of Riot Points. And after that, wait for the feedback and watch how a few Riot Points arrive on your account.
Also, if you follow the official Riot Games website, you are probably already familiar with the contest that Riot has organized for 2021. It was a competition for the best fan artwork, and apart from Riot Points, there were much more valuable prizes, such as the Apple Pencil. Nothing has been announced for 2023 yet, but stay up to date with the latest official information from the Riot team and sharpen your pens because maybe you will win one of the valuable prizes in the next contest.
