Void touched Lux (art included!)

This is not my art, I just love the concept!

It think it'd be cool if her abilities were a glowing dark green/black, like these black light bubbles. I like the color scheme of dark green and black more than purple, just because purple makes her look too much like syndra and I think the green would look cooler with blond hair. I really like the idea of a blacklight color scheme inspiration for a dark mage or Void touched Lux.

I just couldn't help but put this up as Post of the Day. It's kind of like a bad girl Lux.

I love it. >:)

I do agree the colors should be shifted away from that rich royal purple. It feels very Syndra and Eve--and the back cape and straps don't help that, either. Problem is, the Void is very purple, but then you have Kog'Maw and his particles that are green... (even though that's void spit lol)

I think you may have found your next 1350 RP skin, Ms. Baconhawk. I'm sure everyone would love a Void Lux.

I would rather have a 'darklight Lux' than a 'Voidtouched Lux'. I really don't mind the purple, but as has been mentioned I really would prefer something that resembles Syndra or LeBlanc alot less. I don't think this is a bad skin design, but it doesn't really feel like Lux to me, and I'd want to see this done in a style that fits Lux a bit better thematically. Yes, I know it's turning her from a light mage into a dark mage, but that doesn't mean you can't maintain the integrity of her core design philosophy. All the keyhole skin-gaps and straps just feel wrong...

I agree. I actually quite like an idea Riot Penguin made for Fan Art for Art Fans. I wouldn't mind if this was her next skin, granted make her look less psychotic and just dark.

I'm trying to think of a way of combining Lux and Void spit that isn't revolting. I'll let you guys know if I ever think of something.

Lux + KogMaw = ???

Maybe her abilities look all, um, greeny and saliva-y (couldn't think of better words)

As a lux player, I'd love to see this. I think this ones out of the ball park.

I don't mind the color, but the clothing is almost EXACTLY like Syndra

rito pls

Lux desperately needs a new skin. Her "best" one doesn't really fit her and the others just look outdated. Some say Spellthief is her best skin, but in my opinion it lacks a lot. For me her best skin is classic...

Santy Claus2 votes

I agree, Lux is my favorite champion and i don't even like any of her skins that much. She really needs a new good lookin skin.

fondly2 votes

Yeah, classic is her best skin. It just looks prettier than the other ones. Spellthief is cute and all, but... She's getting buffed anyway, give her a skin Rito you'll make bank!

This skin looks awesome.

Pyro11 votes

To be fair, it's more "Lux in LeBlanc costume" than a real Void Lux design.

What Lux lacks, in my opinion, is simply a skin that would fit her VO and personality. Her last three (all post-release) skins are ALL "fully armored military girl" while her voice is all like "I'm going to lazorbeam you to ground and laugh over your ashes while rainbows shine above my head".

Magical Highschooler Lux. Rainbow Lux. Arcade Lux. Cheerleader Lux. This kind of stuff.

But she is a military girl. She's been a military girl her whole life.

Pyro4 votes

She's also a cheerful sorceress. We have enough of her serious military part, it's time for something lighthearted.

Polaritie2 votes

Actually, she seems more in the slightly-cracked under it all camp. The face on that art is perfect for an evil version of her... by which I mean just slightly crazier.

ModCaptainMårvelous6 votes

Seems a -bit- too close to Syndra in the costume department but I think it's pretty neat regardless.

LighteningAB2 votes

maybe make her lips purple or something

Sir ArmaMalum6 votes

Love the art, the idea and the particle suggestions, but I feel like this is less "void" and more like "Darklight" or something. She's got the evil sorceress thing going for sure, but I always look for more 'monster'-esq things before I can call it Void-like. Just my $0.02, nothing more.

Awesome art either way!

Zarkkast5 votes

It's "Void touched", not just "Void".

Imagine someone like Malzahar. I do agree that the art needs some touches to make it more void-y, but it's not supposed to be something monstrous like Void Fizz.

Even though the purple looks 'like Syndra' I don't have a problem with it, it'd be nice for Lux to have a great skin, especially one more dark, purple is a great color- although it'd be nice for all current skins to be updated, too.

Double rainbow!? What does it mean!?..... It doesn't Exist Is the problem, and thus it means NOTHING

Kasumi Tengu3 votes

She looks more like she's about to join w/e group Leblanc is in.

oddeyeoval7 votes

I think Black Rose Lux would actually be a fantastic idea, along with maybe Luminous Leblanc (see what I did there). Those two skins would finally be a step towards bringing the old lore back out of the closet where it's been handcuffed and beaten for a year or so. Leblanc=JarvanIV , Swain =/=Katarina . Pls Rito.

shadwraith993 votes

This is an awesome idea, I would buy definitely. I really like to play lux but I don't feel like any of her skins are worth the RP, this one would be great. I like the black light idea because it makes her like an anti-lux. Great skin! Bravo!

ButtersBBG2 votes

Don't you think you should close up the back a bit?

5G8Nri0B541 votes

Why? That's what makes it look so great.

Khodexus2 votes

No, that's what makes it look so much like Elise or LeBlanc, and causes people like me and BigBoxGamer to go from thinking this is an awesome idea, to not wanting Riot to make the skin.

There are plenty of champions that cater to that aesthetic, some even pull it off tastefully. But we don't want to see that happen to Lux, it just doesn't suit her.

5G8Nri0B541 votes

And here's what you don't understand, this is a Lux skin. Not a VU.

This fits Lux about as well as Zyra's Wildfire skin, Arclight Varus, any Garen in serious black armour, or Brand's Ice skin. She's a woman. It looks great on her. And this is exactly what she needs as she hasn't had a decent skin since ever. Plus it'd be a good change of pace as Riot's been rather disappointing in terms of releasing female champions and skins as of late.

Besides, why'd you want to not make the skin? I'm not a fan of Vi's lesbian look in her new skin. But there are people who are into her like that, and it's fine Riot made it for them. You'd want Riot to not make that skin despite others wanting to see it happen? It's logic like that that Slaybelle Katarina was completely ruined. You don't like it so no one else may have it.

Khodexus2 votes

It's not 'just' that I don't like it, it's that it kills the whole image of the champion. It is possible to create a skin that contrasts a champion's image without killing it, as evidenced by those skins you yourself pointed out. This does not do that for Lux. This is not a case of a skin idea that amplifies an aspect of a character that some people might not like. This skin is flat out offensive to people, like me, who like a certain aspect of a character that this skin destroys.

5G8Nri0B541 votes

And that aspect, is really enjoyable to everyone else. How would you know this look doesn't contrast with Lux perfectly without killing her image? How would you know that covering up Zyra with fire doesn't kill her image as a plant lady? Or turning Brand into an ice-champion doesn't completely erase his identity as a red-hot burning fire being? Or Varus' "Blight Arrows" turning into balls of holy light. This, here, is just a case of being selective.

Some people like this radical shift in image. Those people would like to see this kind of change on her in a skin. This is exactly the same thing as Syndra's Justicar skin where it is a complete 180. Do you find Justicar Syndra "offensive"?

This Void skin gives an aspect to Lux that many people would like. This would provide a perfect contrast with her innocent default appearance in every way.

Khodexus1 votes

A perfect contrast, except for the offensive part. No, none of the examples you have listed I find 'offensive', and that therein is the problem with them as examples. They don't fit.

I would find this skin as it is here offensive. Plain and simple.

The fact that you don't seem to understand this, and don't seem to want to even try to understand it, does not make it any more appealing.

This is not a case of changing fire into ice. I never said I dislike the darklight/void-touched idea. Just the opposite. What I take offense to is the implementation of this particular outfit design. I actually applauded the color scheme, and most the rest of the concept, just thought it should be done with a slightly different aesthetic.

I don't see why this is such a difficult concept, or why you feel the need to prove my opinion/taste 'wrong' by citing irrelevant examples.

I'm also not alone in my opinion, as evidenced by just how many people have made almost the exact same complaint. If I were alone in my opinion, I would back off, and let Riot do its thing, but seeing as at least 40% of the posters here have said something very similar, I'm trying to put a more detailed voice to the complaint.

5G8Nri0B541 votes

Again, what is "offensive" is highly subjective. If you've clearly seen, a lot of people happen to find that "offensive" part likable. Have you considered the possibility that people like Lux in that "offensive" outfit?

Now here are the two paths. The skin goes along, or the skin doesn't. If the skin doesn't go along, nobody wins, people who'd like to have the skin are pissed because some people were "offended". But if the skin goes along? The people who like the skin as it is are happy. The people who are "offended", well they can simply not buy the skin!

You see, in this case, the people who'd like to have it wins out. But those of you who are "offended" aren't losing anything, you can just not buy the skin rather than denying others something they want.

People like this current outfit. She is a girl, that outfit looks good on her. It fits her darker corrupted persona. This isn't good girl light Lux, this is a corrupted bad girl Lux. What don't you understand about that?

What have these kinds of complaints done in the past? Completely ruin Slaybelle Katarina? Cut Nidalee's dance animation by half it's duration? In short. If there's a good thing going, don't try to ruin it.

Khodexus1 votes

Some people like this current outfit, and other people aggressively oppose it.

To me, I think it's got potential. I'm not trying to ruin it, just the opposite. I like the concept, but I take exception to the implementation.

If the implementation can be improved so that it's more satisfying to a larger percentage of Lux's fanbase, then more people win.

Why are you so afraid of compromise?

5G8Nri0B541 votes

What is improvement for one, is a downgrade for another. The very original comment was suggesting a very significant downgrade.

Khodexus1 votes

So, it's a downgrade for you because I want it to show less skin/look less like Syndra's or LeBlanc's outfit?

I see where your priorities are...

pls only Lux skin I've seen that makes sense and isn't outdated and unflattering (Yes, something can be flattering but not slutty)

I personally disagree on the unflattering part. I think this particular drawing is rather unflattering to Lux's personal brand of charm.
