Skin Set Suggestion: Cirque du Valoran!

The Drippy Sink·4/10/2014, 6:12:48 PM·27 votes·6,542 views

More skins for more champions!

Circus-themed, because we don't have any circus or carnival skins!

A new set, like Pool Party!

(Some of these champs need more skins, some don't. I picked them because of their theme)

Living Cannonball Zac

  • Zac, dressed in a brightly colored, padded suit, with a protective helmet.
  • New Animation for Elastic Slingshot: Zac hops into a cannon and gets shot to his destination, with a colorful, silly explosion when he lands.
  • New joke animation: Zac produces his cannon, hops into it and gets shot into the air, then expands into a parachute shape and slowly drifts down
  • New joke audio: "Maybe... Maybe I was actually made for this."

Fortune Teller Syndra

  • Syndra is dressed in brightly colored gypsy clothes, with large hoop earrings and flowing scarves
  • Her orbs now appear as crystal balls
  • New taunt animation: She floats, sitting cross-legged/indian-style, while a crystal ball floats in front of her "Your defeat was foretold. You cannot escape your destiny."

Soul-Tamer Thresh

  • Thresh is dressed in a lion-tamer's attire
  • His lantern is replaced with an old-fashioned wooden chair or stool, and the scythe-chain is a whip
  • Souls appear with little cat-like faces
  • New "The Box" animation: The walls of the box appear as a barred, five-sided cage
  • New joke animation: Thresh holds out the chair defensively and cracks his whip at a trio of souls, and they hop and dance to his command, acting like small animals

Tight Rope Elise

  • Elise is dressed in bright, frilly clothes with a colorful mask covering her face
  • In spider form, her spider body takes on the colors and a similar pattern to her human-form mask
  • New taunt animation: (Human form) Elise leaps up onto a short tight-rope and extends her spider-legs out to the side for balance "I could do this with my eyes closed."
  • New taunt animation: (Spider form) Elise jumps up onto the tight-rope and scitters back and forth, hanging upside down "It's almost like I'm a natural at this."

Fire-Juggler Draven

  • Draven is dressed as the ringleader, in a suit with tails, high boots, and a top hat(optional article)
  • He wields torches instead of axes, which are unlit and rest crossed on his back
  • When he activates "Spinning Axe" his torch(es) that he's spinning lights on fire
  • When he uses "Stand Aside" he throws two flaming torches forward
  • When he uses "Whirling Death" he throws two flaming torches that leave blazing trails of fire instead of crevices in the ground
  • New audio: "Welcome, one and all! Now, feast your eyes on the star of the show; DRAAAVEN!"(Not sure if this should be a taunt, spawn-in quote, or what, but it's fitting. Suggestions?)
  • New taunt animation: Draven lights and juggles his torches, tossing them up in the air and flinging one behind his back, then lifts his leg and flips one underneath, back into the air. "Hup! Haha! I'm amazing!" Alternate audio: "Haha! Ya! Oh yeah! I'm that good!"
  • New joke animation: Draven lights one of his torches and produces a flask of from his belt. He takes a swig from the flask, holds the lit torch up and blows fire. His mustache catches fire in the process. He realizes it a moment later and swats at it to put it out. "Ooh! Ah! Hot! HOT!" Alternate audio: "Yeah, I'm on FIRE! (delay for realization) Oh! Ah! No, seriously!"
  • New dance animation: Draven lights his torches and dances, twirling them around his body and spinning them rapidly, Hawaiian-fire-dancer style.

Feel free to comment and leave feedback.

Cool idea - the Draven one especially! You should put that one up top!

I only own one of those champs but I'd definitely buy that Draven skin. Not only did you choose champions that could easily fit into roles in a circus theme, you ALSO managed to choose champions who are in need of whimsical skins. Great job.

I WANT PICTURES!

You had me a "cirque" but I really love the Fortune Teller Syndra idea (that taunt!) and Zac could use some skin love.

Im not a fan of replacing the lantern with a stool for Thresh. Maybe instead, just have him set down the lantern and pull a chair out of nowhere to do that taunt.

I never want to forget this thread exists.

EDIT: I really like the Zac skin idea. But the Draven one bugs me just a little bit. The ringleader is never an act, he's just the voice-man. Having someone be the ringleader AND fire-juggler at the same time seems...wrong.

This definitely needs to happen. The Zac skin is something I would definitely buy. You clearly put a lot of thought into this and I hope it becomes a reality!

So, I've let this thread kinda die. Shame on me.

I'm working on the skin art, but my drawing capacity has suffered greatly over the years, so it's taking me a bit longer than expected.
