first of all i wanna say Gj on this new skin it's just GREAT! BUT,and there is always a but,as a feedback on this wonderful skin i just wish that zyra had 2 complete wings as it would be much more beautiful.
so can you plz do that,if it's possible,and fix the broken wing??? and thank you ^^
Hmm.. I see what you mean.. though I'm pretty sure it was intended as she's reminiscent of a broken tombstone in the shape of an angel. Not sure what can be done about it at this point.. but I can try to check it out.
I just find her Haunted Skin dissapointing, I rather have her THE QUEEN OF THE GRAVEYARD with like tombstones and black thorns/roots, instead of like Stone Guardian Angel ghoul woman who lurks around a stone. I feel the haunted skin is a mash up of Earthrune skarner, BlackThornMorgana, and Orianna. The off proportioned wings, and the skirt of leaves, and her hair off colour hair just leaves an impression of undefined. Im sure she will have amazing particles like ghouls and tombstones. To wait for awhile for a new zyra skin and the final concept is this, its kind of sad to see an amazing organic champion, be put to a mashup.

Im so happy that there is finaly a skin for Zyra! but even tho this skin has potential, i still feel her original and wildfire is better than this skin is right now.
a few changes should make this skin much better
Her hair looks weird, what is that on her head? roots? if so it dosent come across as such. right now it looks like someone put a dreadlook wig on a stone statue. you might consider giving her more subtile roots going up her head and creating the hair from leaves instead. or you might consider making her hair part of the stone statue (but you will lose animation movment) or maybe giving her some ghostly blue light that looks like hair. it's too puffy and needs to be more spikey.
a skirt made of leaves should not have a straight edge, make it more uneaven, more natural and organic. right now its to uniformed, like a pice of cloth you have fastned leaves on too.
that flower in her hair dosent fit with the overall style of the skin, its too cute.
the texture needs more work, consider a colour change on the leaves to seperate them more from the roots, she dosent read very well on the screen and seem mudy and dark. consider making the stone even more towards blue and less towards yellow, and make her face more well defined.
its proably gona take to much time but some root/leaf covering to make boots around her legs and hips would have been nice, to keep the zyra silhouette from the original. also her chest area seems rather bare. it would be a good place to put in some more design, and make it more interesting. like a necklace/medalion, more decorative patern of roots and leaves maybe.
i like the models you made for her plants and seeds there awsome. Thank you for the hard work you have put in to the skin!
Yeah, the broken wings suck.
Please give her a new recall. I don't even get what her normal recall does, but a new one where she like, does something awesomely awesome would be awesome.
In your post on GD you mentioned that voice effects were becoming harder to produce since they have to line up with animations now.
I would just like to say that I totally disagree and overall hate the direction you've taken with voice effects coinciding with animations.
Now hear me out.
What I've noticed is that champions no longer have all-purpose taunts. They have specific taunts that go with their animations. This causes the taunts to sound weird in (aural) isolation. Essentially it boils down to this: the actor tends to stress words that coincide with the visual action, or in some cases add in a grunt. It sounds horrible out of context, which is how you'll hear it a lot of the time since in game people are focused on playing and not watching your character's animations.
Also, it limits the possibility of a "funny" taunt. For example, take Kha Zix.
"If I eat you, will I learn to dieYAH!?"
"Hahahaha, you're barely worth eatingHYEECHA!"
"Do not fear death. The best part of you will live onRCHHYA!"
He's got a completely sinister taunting thing going on that was ruined because of the disconnect between animator and scriptwriter. His model does that arm slash thing and the actors had to play around that and it made the v/o suffer.
Similarly, when you listen to Zed's taunts without looking at him, it's totally disjointed. You can't even tell what he's talking about because of the giant pause.
Idunno. Just something I was picking up on for a while. Every taunt of a character having the same vocal "cadence," in order to fit an animation, bugs the CRAP out of me and makes it feel very artificial. It's okay to have a taunt where there's a different animation, or even no animation.
I think it is great. I just wish we had more new harrowing skins, seeing how Vi's skin doesn't even seem halloween themed at all.
They aren't even legacy either.
I wish her death model was her actualy model

she has something of a frenkenstine kinda look when she runs >_> something about the wings makes it look like she is hunched over/ has a humped back.
I agree! Fix that wing, honestly didn't even know what that was until my friend pointed it out x.x...
-Ohhh I guess I can understand the whole broken tombstone thing tho :c
