Riven is hands down my favorite champion, and because of that, I’ve always wanted to do some art involving her.

Though, recently I’ve been kind of iffy on her default skin, not to say I don’t like it, Riven is my favorite champion after all; but I was curious of what I could come up with.

Let me know what you guys think.

I feel like the overall outfit in this design needs to be reworked a bit (I know she's a bit of a fan favorite and all that, but we already have Battle Bunny, do we need to make her base like that as well?). Granted she is an exile, and won't have all of her battle armor, but she should have a bit more (or maybe just a more covering suit) then this one.

That point aside, I can see what [You? The artist? Don't know if you made this or not] was going for. Her colors match the more modern Noxian army color (I.E., the only example we have, Darius), and the spiky glove and shoulder armor also mirrors that aesthetic. She was an officer, so she should have some kind of the spiky-ness that denotes that

A lot of people were saying similar stuff, so I made some changes. Let me know how you feel.

And you're right, I was attempting to make her armor look more Noxian color wise and by adding spikes here and there. The reason I originally had her in the jumpsuit was because even though Riven is technically a bruiser, she's also very agile and mobile. So I was going for a light weight look.

That design is beautiful! The bit of extra armor, as well as the extra covering here and there make the suit fit a lot better with her theme. Very nice artwork!

I hate Riven, but I love the artwork.

Sorry, "I hate Riven with a passion, but I love the artwork."

Whatever floats your boat i guess

If riven is in a sentence with another object, the hate for riven must outweigh the emotions felt for the other object.

Tis the third rule of riven

Never be the riven main.
Do not support the riven

this is really good work. the face is beautiful.

honestly tho...i always got the impression of riven as more of a brawny fighter female. this take is too "pretty" for me

Who says brawny fighters can't be pretty?

I don't know if a jumpsuit style article of clothes really fits the Noxian theme. They seem to be more on the Battle Armor / Grunge style.

I either like the artwork or I like the butt... maybe both... I'm not sure. Maybe the boobs... or maybe she's just hot in general.

I think you should get more of the Rune elements on her glove. That and something to remind us that she was Noxian (like her shoulder piece in her current splash). Other than that, great art!

I love it! And the artwork aswell

Too nice for League. Go back and do it again but do it right this time.

I kinda prefer the current design over this, the purple shorts thing doesn't really fit with the whole exile image

GreenLoreJun 5, 20151 votes

I think the jumpsuit doesn't really suit her. It doesn't really fit her Exile-theme or Noxus.It looks more like something that could come from Piltover or maybe Zaun tbh.

However the art and design are overall really cool ;)
