Sweetheart Xayah was kind of a let down

My Rakan main friend bought both of us the respective Sweetheart skins and I can easily say I am not very impressed.

I think the Rakan skin is a very solid 1350 skin, it checks all the boxes and does what a 1350 should do.

But the Xayah one is another story. The skin is visually different, but the dark colors, I get it its all "Rakan is bright colors and hyper and hes the show off" and "xayah is the edgy one and oh she hates people ahhh" but when the theme gets in the way of the skin's quality its a problem.

Rakan's skin has some really good looking particles on his feathers, and Xayahs lacks any what so ever. It just doesn't look finished. The Cosmic Dusk/Dawn skins are Xayah and Rakan skins done right. The theme is space, simple enough. Both have what I call the "Chowder Effect" (named after the TV show) where the texture of the feathers is in the background, never moving, and it looks like the feathers are a hole into the background, and looks really cool. Both skins have the same basic effects. and are color shifted to fit the theme, look very pleasant, and contrast well.

I know this is a bit of a dead horse, but I'm giving my opinion ya know?

(I didnt put this in Story/Art/Sound since yes it is art, but thats more for "actual" art)

I think the new xayah skin looks great! But everyone has their own opinion [sg-zephyr]

I like the Xayah skin, just wish it looked like the splash art more. The skin looks more like a solid dress than a light, flirty dress. I wish her feather cape was more crisp too. But maybe they will do some more graphic boots to it.
