Taliyah Skin Ideas!
Well, I'm not a very talented artist or anything, but I have some ideas for Taliyah skins that are more interesting than, "Taliyah but FIRE!! Taliyah but ELECTRIC!!!" (At least I'd like to think so.) The first of the two ideas I have is Elderwood Taliyah!
Elderwood Taliyah: P: A twisted mass of branches carries Taliyah by rising from the ground. Q: Q projectiles become leaves, like razor leaf from pokemon. Her worked ground would be a fairy ring! W: W would become a small mushroom on the initial cast, and would grow to large size upon the detonation of the ability. E: E would become a field of mushrooms, but instead of a big fat mushroom like W, it would be several small thin mushrooms per region of her E, to keep with the theme of weaving and threads. R: R would become a massive thicket of vines, leaves, flowers and small creatures that come rushing towards enemies at break neck speeds.
Her model would keep her bronze skin but change her hair style to be a large, single braid, like a thick weave or a braided friendship bracelet. Her outfit would be a simple green tunic, with brown leather pants and brown boots, to keep with her theme of being a young girl who isn't some sort of all powerful mystical being clothed in magical ethereal garb. Maybe instead of long cloth wings like in Freljord and Classic, she could have a long green scarf?
The second idea I have is Surfer/Pool Party Taliyah!
Surfer/Pool Party Taliyah: P: A surfboard! Cowabunga dudes! Q: Q would be either water balloons or just water being splashed. Water balloons make more sense to me, but the water just being thrown would probably look better, because her Q projectile is pretty long and water balloons aren't usually that long, and reshaping the projectile for the skin would cause some communication issues for your enemy and yourself. Her worked ground would be a hula hoop with watery reflections inside instead of the worked and cracked ground from classic. W: W would be either a torrent of water pushing people upwards, or a diving board. The diving board would probably be harder to make work because making it look right while fitting the space of the spell would potentially be a challenge. Alternately, it could also be a beach ball being pushed up by a torrent of water, instead of just a torrent of water. E: E would become water balloons, akin to pool party Ziggs's E. Pop pop! R: For her R, the cooler looking idea would be a massive wave that she can ride, but coding it and making it look like an actual wave would probably be pretty hard, but hey, I have no idea how to code. It could also be a massive wall of coral, with some misplaced fish scattered about that were unfortunate enough to be caught in the wall. And finally, it could become a massive wall of beach/pool supplies, like surfboards, beach umbrellas, beach balls, towels and even the occasional seagull.
These are my ideas. I'd love to see your ideas and comments and criticisms in the comments!
