Busts of Jayce and Viktor, with their heads split open, sharing a single skull with arcane corruption all over it. There are butterflies fluttering around them, they're also surrounded by Zaun's smoke and Piltover's clouds. The skyline of Piltover crowns the piece, aligned with an arcane explosion right at the bottom center.

A blue tiefling playing the oboe surrounded by golden columns and lilac tiefling in the middle of a bloody swamp framed by soft turquoise walls
An elf? holding two swords and being pierced by two more standing between columns that turn into tree roots and a ??? thing ??? stepping on a giant scolopendra in the middle of a gothic archway with seven skulls above them

My OC Eliott sitting atop a broken statue that is holding a sword and a quill. There's a crack on the face of the statue, with a skull peeking from underneath. Eliott is reaching for the quill but his other hand hovers over the sword.

Gideon Nav and Harrowhark Nonagesimus holding hands and looking at each other. It seems as if Harrow is about to fall and Gideon is catching her. Two spears pierce through their linked hand and the blood pouring from them is dying Harrow's scarf red. It looks like bloody wings.

A humblewood wrangler monk flies through the air as she lassos a dinosaur!

A large, masculine figure charges at the viewer, mud curling in a massive wave around him. He has a warthog’s head, and is bedecked in leather, red rope, and splatters of mud.

Two foxes dance amongst a crowd of gala goers. The scene glows with golden light.

In settings -> accessibility, there is an option you can enable, that makes it so you're required to add alt text before being able to post any images, if that helps
