My take on Fiora's new splash.
Final update, new hair edited in.

So yeah, this is the final update to my take on Fiora's new splash art. Turns out however that Riot just added some hair in the original splash without actually addressing the overall facial structures of the splash and that leg that attracted criticism in the first place and that'll be it. Guess if the hair's good, everything's K. So here goes, thanks to everyone that upvoted this. :D
Updated again, red/purple tint on her face "cleaned out", eyebrow fixed.:

Update, fixed the stripe on the leg, made the red on her hair, the shawl and the petals darker.:

The pose she is in the Riot splash doesn't make much sense. For a direct comparison that shows every change i made and how different my version of the splash looks, here is the original in the right size.
Old.
So, I'd like to say that I'm one of those people (if there are any :3) that kinda liked the new Fiora splash art. While it has flaws, such as making Fiora look older than she is and REALLY unoriginal and girly (when she is cocky and badass) when it comes to her new hair stripe color, it is a big improvement when compared to her old one. Whoever worked on this did an awesome albeit rushed job, as was the case with Tristana and Katarina.
Since everyone and their cats and dogs are doing their own versions of a improved splash, I did mine too. I tried to keep her as similar as possible to her old splash but also did some much needed improvements.
Here it is.

The changes here are cheek/cheekbones, smaller chin, lower eyebrows (those things were too damn high), better forehead lighting, longer hair (still the same though, this hairstyle is lovely, old version was like a peruke that Willy Wonka would use tho), red hair stripe and shoulder shawl-thingy (for originality yo) and finally, slightly different lips (in her old one, her lips appeared to be slightly open, which made the splash kinda sensual).
The result here imo is a Fiora that isn't necessarily cute but is elegantly beautiful and of course original without the pink shudders.
Of course this is just the splash and not the actual in-game model, which to be pretty honest, is underwhelming.
