(EDIT: People were likening her to Lissandra which I totally agree with so took like 5 minutes this morning to pop a new headdress on her! If I have time maybe over the next few days I'll really dig into the details and make this a proper concept instead of a speedpainting and hammer out some cool design features to make her read well individually instead of just as a one off concept.)

Today I made a quick concept inspired by Liandry's Torment! It was originally going to be a black and white study but a bit of color worked its way in there. I've got this idea in my head that she's the fallen Queen of what would become the Shadow Isles. This was just a painting exercise, I have no idea as to how she'd function as a champion.

Made this in a few hours today in Adobe Photoshop CS6. It's a little rough but I'm mostly trying to improve my speed, so I was a little sloppy putting it together. Just figured I'd throw it up here since it's relatively League related!! <3

Progress shots and other stuff can be found at my personal blog here, my art blog here, or my website here! Thanks for taking a look C:

It's great! But it sort of reminds me of Lissandra fusing with Syndra.

Tormented Syndra/Liss anyone?

Thanks for your comments, guys! I definitely agree. I did it in a fairly short amount of time so the design isn't as strong as it could be. Took a few minutes today to add a new headdress that I put into the original post to kill some of the Lissandra vibe! I'll probably end up revisiting it again!

I just made a quick guess on how her kit might have looked like, atleast that's how I imagined it to be, of course :D

Passive: Eternal Torment - Liandry haunts nearby enemies, reducing their will to fight. Nearby units gain -1.11/2.22/3.33/4.44/5.55/6.66/7.77/8.88/9.99/11.10/12.21/13.32/14.43/15.54/16.65/17.76/18.87/19.98 Magic Resist. The debuff is distributed to all nearby enemy champions in sight within 800 range. If nearby enemy champion is isolated, that target have reduced Health Regeneration and healing capacities (different from Grievous Wounds) Q - Accursed Pillar - Summons a pillar. Enemies near the pillar are dealt 9 / 18 / 27 / 36 / 45 (+9% AP) each second with increasing slow from 15 ~ 35% each second and growing from a radius of 150 ~ 225. The pillar lasts for 4 seconds and blocks movement within 31.5 range. If enemies affected doesn't move under 1 second, fear them for 0.5 second. Enemy champions caught in the center of eruption are briefly knocked back and gain Tormented - DoT Magic damage that deals 1% / 2% / 3% / 4% / 5% (+%AP) of target's current health. Liandry gains a stack of Accursed Pillar every 23 / 21 / 18 / 14 / 9 seconds for a maximum of 3 stacks. She can cast a pillar once every 0.5 seconds W - Hollow Shackles - Summons three leashes that seeks the three nearest enemy units for 3 seconds (prioritizes Champions). If it touches a champion, stun them for 1 ~ 2.5 seconds based on how far the leash traveled and deal 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 (+90%AP), if not, just root them and deal the supposed magic damage. Champions whose level is lower than Liandry, if being chased by one of her leashes while their backs are facing Liandry, and when the leash already reached halfway on touching the target enemy champion, target unit gain Panicked - This unit moves more quickly in exchange for reduced armor and magic resist. If the target is isolated, damage dealt to this unit is amplified for 3 seconds E - Shadowstep - Active: Teleports to a target location. Enemies within 150 range upon arrival are feared for 0.75 seconds. Passive: As long as Liandry stays out of sight from enemies, her next basic attack will deal bonus magic damage and have a chance of inflicting Fear for (min. 0.25sec max. 1sec) depending on how long she stayed hidden. If Liandry stayed hidden for 9 seconds or more, her next basic attack will apply Tormented. If Liandry attacked after 9 seconds, and when the back of the target attacked is facing Liandry, target gain Suffering - This unit is enduring endless pain. Enemy units affected have their magic resist and armor reduced. R - Wail of Sorrow - After channeling for 1.5 seconds, sends out a sonic wave that damages enemies in AoE Range for 125/ 250 / 375 ~ 375 / 500 / 625 (+AP) depending on how near they are to Liandry. All units affected are silenced for 1~2.5 seconds and their attack speeds slowed by 15%~35% depending on how near they are to Liandry.

Reminds me of Eve from the PS game Parasite Eve.

It looks fantastic. Good work.

I think of this champion as one that should be inspired by the effects of the item and items you would tend to build with it. Very heavy us of DOT based abilities. A passive that increases damage to opponents under CC effects. very strong late game damage, with some powerful early tools, but give her a weak midgame (kind of like how haunting guise provides great early game stats whereas liandry's torment is only really effective in the late game). People who build liandries tend to also build a lot of health items, so I would have her as one of the higher health AP mages. would love to do a champion concept if you wouldnt mind :D

Really kickass. Much impressed. Such jelly.

Looks cool, reminds me a bit of Lissandra though

This is amazing! Now I want to see more items > champions!

Given your projected lore adn the item it's based off of, Q should be a high AP ability and the rest of her abilities should be like a last-stand-I'm-bringing-you-down-with-me kind of theme. Maybe a passive damage done to enemies that hit Liandry based on AP, and maybe an E that drains HP. It would probably be easy to drown her in a vampire schema, but I could see this champion taking off, despite the similarity to Lissandra Lissandra.

I see her as a painbringer-type rather than a vampire. Someone who just directly feeds pain to your synapses. Also, someone who has suffered a lot.

Passive: Torment - Liandry's spells apply a stacking slow that refreshes upon each application. 10% per stack. Unlimited stacks. 1.5 second duration.

Q: Agony's Embrace - Liandry creates a space of ethereal energy at a targeted location. After 1 second the energy attacks all targets in it's reach, directly attacking their nervous system dealing 90/130/170/210/250 (+35% AP) and increasing their damage taken by 3/6/9/12/15% for 3 seconds.

Passive component: Liandry gains 6/9/12/15/18 Health and 4/6/8/10/12 mana when she kills a unit with this ability. Doubles for Champions. 50 mana, 6 second cooldown, 550 range, 150 radius.

W: Share the Pain - Liandry creates a tether between herself and an enemy for 4 seconds. After 0.5 seconds the first damage is applied. Over the entire duration of the tether 15/20/25/30/35% of damage Liandry takes (pre-mitigation) is dealt to the tethered person. Initial damage is 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 / 200 (+ 25% AP). Returned damage is dealt as magic damage. 65 mana, 12 second cooldown. 650 range, leash is 750.

E: Cripple - Liandry saps the strength to fight from her opponent. She removes 5/7/10/13/15% AP and AD from her enemy (4 seconds) and deals damage over time increased by her passive stack (If passive stack is 10%, it deals 10% more). Damage per half second = 20/30/45/60/75 (+12% AP) Maximum damage = 160/240/360/480/600 (+96% AP). 75/80/85/90/95 mana, 18/17/16/15/14 cooldown, 650 range.

R: Sadism - Liandry creates a 1500 range aura centered on herself and moving with her, inside this aura Liandry gains 20% health of the damage (after mitigation) dealt to allies (but not herself) and enemies for the duration. The ultimate will apply 1 stack of the passive and keep it refreshed. 100 mana, 160/150/140 second cooldown.

I had fun making it, hope you have fun reading it.

You better hope Bioware doesn't find out about this. This looks heavily close to Vivienne from the new dragon age.

RiotRiot Hylia2 votes

lmao even if this were a carbon copy of Vivienne what sort of trouble would I be in for doing literally nothing with the design??? It was a painting practice exercise.

you better hope Disney doesn't find out about Vivienne because anyone with horns is clearly in violation of copyright

Okay but Liandry and Lissandra as siblings. Think about that. Lissandra is the ice queen, Liandry's Torment is an item that applies a D.O.T. burn.
