My take on a possible Darkin.

Good day, I'm a desperate League of Legends player, artistical hobbyist and Custom Champion Designer.
While I'm loving to create a new Champion out of nothing, I do also love to draw him, even though it's just with a pencil.

However, one of my first Custom Champions is a Darkin who has two forms, the human form and the Darkin form. But since two weeks I've started to experiment with Zbrush, a program that has been also proven worthy by a new Rioter (Who also was on a presentation and showed Singed and Heimerdinger, how detailed and lovely they look).

Because I wanted to try it out, I experimented with it. I watched some couple tutorials and got my fingers on it. I started immediately to make the Head of the Darkin. His appearance is a bit similiar to Aatrox, but he's a bit bigger, a bit wider and has horns that comes out of his mouth. Half of his head is covered by a small helmet that actually looks like organic. Because he has extremely big wings that almost covers his body and aren't made for flying, but rather smashing the enemies with it - his horns had to be made looking forward and not backwards or in the air.

Here's my take on a possible Darkin. Mortalis, the Twisted Darkin.

Beware, I'm not professional and this was my first try on everything, I didn't even try to make something different to experiment with.

I'm currently working on the whole body, but damn.. it's hard to make wings...

Honestly, it's not that good. It's still a work of an amateur (me) and there can be a lot more improvement. When compared with other Game Designers, this is like drawing a sun and a house in a childrish way on paper, cmpared with the professional work which is the paintings in the sistine Chapel.

Besides, thank you for the kind words!

I bet you can do it too. It's not that hard, you just need to spend some time watching tutorials and you get to know how things work. The most and funniest thing about Zbrush is, that you can experiment. But thanks!

This idea has potential. I'd like to see this with wings, and maybe claws too, like a true demon creature. Good job with the concept art!If you have a picture hand drawn of Mortalis, you should post it.

Ehh... hehe.... umm, I think you'll regret asking for that XD http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=722598&stc=1&d=1388070255

I think I'm gonna draw him soon. This picture was made very long ago.

Ironic thing is, even though he looks very demonic, he's still half human.

If you don't want to watch the huge wall of text, here a short summary:

Two skillsets, human and darkin.

Human-Q: Up to 3 seconds channel/charge, then shoots a bolt as a skillshot. If hit, deals damage and leaves a curse/debuff that deals damage if the enemy target is using a ability within the duration. Can be prematurely shot, but then won't do the max damage.
Darkin-Q: Short dash that deals damage to targets hit by going through. Upon recast, dealing furiously damage within 300 range, kicks back targets who stays on the edge, and if not on the edge receive bonus damage.

Human-W: For the next seconds, 50% of all incoming damage will create afterwards a shield for the amount. If the shield stays, Mortalis will be healed for the double of the left shield amount.
Darkin-W: Passive - receives bonus Spell Vamp // Active: Turns all physical damage (basic attacks / abilities) into magic damage

Human-E: A thunder appears in the designated location. It stuns enemies in the center and afterwards deals damage over time in the area. Stunned targets by E who gets continously damaged by the the AoE, will get a debuff that allows Mortalis to receive 100% spell vamp only working for E ability.
Darkin-E: Illusive claws goes straight in the path. The faster you press E in a row, the faster the projectile speed. Roots enemies hit by depending where they got caught. The more far away, the greater the root duration.

R: Switch to different form.
