For those of you who have missed the art spotlights, I made one for you! Also I thought it was a bummer we never did one for the OG Ahri.

Astreodea30 votesALL OF MY YES YES this actually feels like Ahri, the current one doesn't
EnvyDragon11 votesGod, I love the expression here. It's like, "Bitch please, have you seen my winrate?"
IMTOOJUICY8 votesYeah, dat smile is playful, arrogant, mischievous, and sexy.
In short, Ahri in a nutshell.
KNKL21 votesHey guys! Thanks so much for taking a look at her, glad you guys are enjoying it : ) was a fun challenge to work on.
BrainChallengerd2 votesIt's amazing what you're able to do with Photoshop. I've always been fascinated by drawing, but people like you being able to draw at such a level is impressing. This Ahri splash art definitely should be implemented by Riot. I've also seen your other work on DA, overall a great artist.
Fur Fox Sake2 votesI think it should be implemented too but it makes me sad that Riot feels that their current splash is superior over the original and this version. They're ignoring the majority of the community but should see that many people would rather have this which actually shows her character, seducing and mysterious. In the current one she looks sad, tired, and sickly. 335 to 25 should tell you something riot :( pls.
rtbf2091425552 votesThough i do love some of the new splash arts. Viktors Kayles Talons are all incredible.
Civil Dawn13 votesThis is the same artist who did the original Ahri splashart that everyone loved. In other words, we should be using this instead, he actually know how Ahri is supposed to look.
Jesieniarz12 votesMake this new splash art! 
< this is ugly. :(
Fur Fox Sake11 votesThis is amazing and thanks for posting it on here too :D more people need to see it. Your version actually has me "charmed" I mean I can't stop looking at it, unf.. to the pose, skin color, hair, facial features. It's mysterious and seductive, capturing her character. The current one not so much :c I cant wait to put this in my game but I do hope that it would be her offical splash. I love your art style, you always manage to put my favorite arts out in this game. Continue your amazing work, my favorite artist by far xD
Meria Deluxe11 voteswow this is stunning! rito please :D take this or change it to the old splash
Twintail9 votesRiot plz. This splash art actually feels like ahri and the current splash art is mediocre
Chromatic Eagle8 votesWhy didn't Riot go with this one?
Keevalroy8 votesBecause it wasn't made yet. He made this for the people that didn't like the new one.
DemiluniS2 voteshe made it just as a guide on how goes the progress of creating a splash art, it's not gonna be replaced in client
Chromatic Eagle6 votesWell, it should. Because reasons.
ArchAbyss7 votesI logged in just to upvote this rito make this the profile picture pls
Myshell6 votesplease make it to the splash art in game this is amazing :
Animato5 votesthe current art is too cat like. it doesn't read "fox" to me. This art is a whole lot closer to being fox-like and really reads who Ahri is as a character.
ColtonKresser5 votesI have known Kienan for many years and this is by far his best work!
Keevalroy5 votesI'd pay RP to see this in the client. I've been watching his progress from the start and the end result is gorgeous.
Maliginant3 votesIf you're willing to mod your client, you're able to add w/e artwork you want so long as it doesn't affect in-game performance etc. I'm not too sure how precisely it's done but if you google it you should a way.
GuiltyGecko5 votesNice! I also have your Lulu picture as my desktop background lol.
P.S WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATE EMMA!?
Yisery2 votesLove it
F3stanie5 votesartists are amazing ;_;
SlackerboyTC5 votesUse that for her splash
Iron Rubric5 votesWhere is the, Yes but rito wont listen option?
Tricycle Cop4 votesBring Kienan Back D: Next Step: the CG...I hate how the League CG trailers remind of me Walt Disney movies.
Blue Moon Wolf4 votesI never had a complaint about the current splash art for , but I would still much prefer this one.
NineTailed Jinx4 votesI friggin LOVE the way he did Ahri here. especially the face, its charming and really brings out her character as the playful seductive fox girl I love playing. everything is spot on with no broken anatomy. Beautiful!
I'm modding my client to add this splash as I type this. its perfectly Ahri♥
Rito plz
Report Me Kiddo4 votesHOLY GOD THIS SPLASH IS SO EPIC COMPARED TO THE ONE ON NOW. PLEASE RIOT USE THIS SPLASH INSTEAD OF THE OTHER ONE. RE-HIRE THIS GUY HE IS AMAZING AND EVERYONE LOVES HIS SPLASHES!!!
Fur Fox Sake3 votesThat's what I'm saying! This guy is like a god of art. Why is riot ignoring us :c
Report Me Kiddo4 votesRito, I will PAY to see this splash implemented in the official game. Make it a new skin if you don't want to change the old one, I AM THROWING MONEY AT YOU RITO CHANGE THE SPLASH!
Tesla Effect4 votesShut up and take my RP!
PuDDG26FP94 votesLove your work! Would definitely want to see it being implemented in game!
meatjunjun4 votesThis is 1000x better than the current splash. I doubt Rito will listen, but I hope this becomes the new splash.
La Chusta3 votesRITO pls!! This is amazing!
Just Mid3 votesI posted this here before it was cool.

You need to just make all of Riot's splashes. You're by far the best artist. Zeronis is great too.
LittleBlast3 votesCan i get a copy with 100% less clothing? :3
Ahri The Smurf3 votesTake my money rito
Sageace3 votesI can't help but feel like she's about to say "Don't you trust me?"
Keevalroy3 votesAs of right now (392-32), 92% of voters want this in the game.
The community has spoken! When can we expect this splash to replace the one we have in the client Rito?

We need to keep this post alive as long as we can!! Or until Riot stops being stubborn :3
Altricad2 votes+1
I"LL KEEP THIS POST GOING AS LONG AS I CAN!!!!!
Fur Fox Sake2 votesTHANK YOU :D I've been trying hard to keep it going too. I mean honestly this piece is too amazing to let it just slip by & I really hope it doesn't :c Can't riot see that it's 400 yes to 30 no. c'mon D:
please fix ad2 votesRiot should really consider using this splash art. As an Ahri main, the current splash art feels weird and it looks as if she is confused. This one actually feels like it fits Ahri.
Solaxo1 votesI hate Ahri so no.
Fur Fox Sake7 votesI hate Ahri so no.
If you hate Ahri, why would you even go on an Ahri thread o_O lol
Feels more demonic... less sexy. idk bout the rest of the community but to me violet upper face that doesn't look like mascara or face paint either indicates some extreme tan or that the girl's a demonic hell spawn. the purple claws and hand gesture's not helping. hang on... some people are into that stuff. never mind about not sexy... Also not enough cleavage :P

Can't really have cleavage if the viewer is under her unless she has some sort of underboob going on.
When Keinan selected a few key words that he would try to then reproduce in the final piece. These were: dark/mysterious - sexy/alluring - powerful.
