IronStylus. Your style questions me if there is any hope for Kayle getting a second chance on her visual look?

Can you...give...a hint?

I know our pain is your pleasure, but I'm dying to know something more about the Deathsinger's new look/direction.

Yo fellows,

is there a chance Mr. Parrot is still lurking around here?

I have some suggestions I would love to share with you about Karthus.

**How do I start... **

Well, I came up with the idea to make Karthus, Thresh & Hecarim to a ''Trio Infernale'' of the Shadow Isles. Karthus gives a lot of opportunity to redesign him and make him fit more in the lore in terms of visuals. Karthus, Hecarim & Thresh are all three related to death in various ways. Even their names already have such an unintentional harmony to each other. Let's just melt it in our mouths for a moment again.

Karthus, Thresh & Hecarim.

What am I up to here?

I have the strong feeling, that a lot of people would appreciate to see Karthus more nightmarish and related to something else on the Shadow Isles, what would make him more connected and believable.

How is the idea of Thresh (green) & Hecarim (blue) sharing their style with Karthus (red)?

He would look very corrupted and even more fearsome & his lore could get reworked and get much more fitting & detailed relations and who even knows what epic future events with epic confrontations this could offer (speaking of the visual feeling it would spread)?

This also has the possiblity of an included Traditional Skin, that is inspired by a more thought out version of his original design in high resolution of today's quality standards. This would furthermore prevent unnecessary critics, because many people (especially in this community) are creatures of habit, not really up for something fresh and maybe would feel offended by a totally new concept.

Here is an amazing example, I found randomly a while back by the artist Saman Mahmoudi:

I could imagine his Traditional Skin pretty much like this with maybe just some little detail additions to his book & scepter and whatever feels right.

Little Final Topic Outbreak:

There still is the Heimerdinger Visual Upgrade, though. This project shows that people totally can freak out about complete revised versions of old content in a positive way.

The feedback I've seen about it was like 99,9% positive, with justice.

If the future revised content will all be on this quality standard... God, what will League of Legends become over this whole and the next year in terms of finally high and consistent overall fitting quality standard in terms of visuals!

Thank you for reading.

Best wishes, Erzengel

Where's the example

Meta Noir1 votes

Short and simple: In your immagination. I have also already explained it pretty clear in my first post! Just think about Karthus being still a Lich, but fitting to the Hecarim/Thresh Design. Blackish-evilish, with red aura like it was mentioned by me above.

I have no visual artist qualifications, so sadly there are no tools to pull a straight example out of nowhere, sorry. I can only describe it with words.

But everyone, who clearly thinks about it, should straightly get a pretty clear foreshadowing picture of how he roughly would look and feel like.

So give it a try, just if you want to!

Haha, no problem! I was pretty impressed of it, tho. Brings him pretty much on point just in high quality.
