I hope you like magical girls.
It has been so hard not spilling the beans on this! Lux is one of my favorite champions in the game, and I absolutely cannot wait to play with this skin! ^-^
Q.Q i am literally crying at how beautiful this skin!!!! THIS i've been wanting this so badly. like literally tears sobbing right now, i dont care if that makes me emotional or a loser. I AM SO HAPPY!!!!
2 years waiting and this!!! OMG THANK YOU!!! Q.Q I would send you cookies if I could I love you
Edit: Past gif of me crying for visualization http://gyazo.com/0fca6217ca648112c90183e548710c0b XD btw i was crying bcuz of the last episode in Escaflowne, but i basically look the same whether cyring for joy or sadness lol
I'm so glad you like her! <3 Sorry for the long wait, hope it was worth it! :3
XD just as an idea, would it be possible to make "in the name of demacia i will punish you" be her main taunt ;o or at least make it come up way more often for this skin XDD its just too fitting not too
better question is it complete with a sailor moon style transformation in the loading screen >_>
The Sailor Moon transformation is her recall animation.
Looks that much more awesome with all the particle effects in place! 
Thank you for your patience! As you'd expect we want to do every skin idea for every champion, but when an idea this popular comes up in production we all just want to tell the world out of sheer excitement. Of course we can't and have to sit on our hands until it's done reading all the requests and being unable to answer (my wife is a Lux main and tells me every day she needs a magical girl skin). But it's worth it to see the reaction when we can finally talk about it!
I also cried during the last episode of Escaflowne; it's the right thing to do. Incidentally Dryden is the chillest guy that ever chilled.
I take it fear of losing your job forced you to keep your mouth shut?
EDIT: Sorry if this sounded cynical or rude. I'm still gonna get this skin the minute it comes out!
Probably more like fear of spoiling the surprise for everyone; I don't think Reds get fired for leaking upcoming content (as many Reds actually discuss upcoming changes with the community)

Yup! This is correct, we are held to an NDA. (We also wouldn't want to ruin the surprise!)

I really like it! My only feedback is about the hair. not sure how I feel about the style combined with such a dark shade of hot pink. I feel like blonde might have been a better choice, or at least a lighter colored pink?
The outfit looks incredible though, as does the staff. Can we expect to see particles soon?
The model viewer usually doesn't do skins justice. I'd suggest taking another look once she's in game! I'm partial to the pink, only because all of her others skins have blonde hair.
There's a lot of awesome odds and ends this skin, hope you like them! :]

I'm excited for it (: With Chromas coming out soon maybe we'll eventually get it in tons of different colors xD? Would help fit the sailor scout theme!! shameless plug
I hope you guys consider making this a skin line for more champions~ I wonder what other champions would fit well under the sailor scout theme. I can see maybe Janna or Syndra?
Or.... Card Captor Twisted Fate (: shot

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
First reaction when I saw the staff was that it's basically the same as the Sakura Staff. Has the huge star and wings, basically the same coloring (though if the part holding the star was pink instead of gold *cough*)...
We could totally use a TF skin that references CLAMP. C:
Tuxedo Man Twisted Fate.
Cape, tuxedo, top hat, and throws magic cards that like. Have planetary pictures on them.
Pfah, you think too small. Heartseeker Twisted Fate should have a Top Hat, tuxedo, throws roses, and when he teleports, he disappears and reappears in a swirl of rose petals.
I think this skin is pretty neat and will definitely satisfy those folks who have been wanting something like this for a while. That said, the one part that looks a little wonky to me is the coloration. At first I thought it was just that I didn't like the pink/purple color combo, but the pink/purple/white/gold colors on the staff really work, and the top half of the model mostly works... it's just the bottom half.
I know you guys shift the color palette around on different parts of the models to emphasize/de-emphasize different parts of the model, and I'm guessing that's what going on here, but... I think the way that's executed here just makes her bottom half look muddled and "dirty" (in the "water you were cleaning your paintbrushes in" way, not the "actual dirt" kind of way). It probably matters less on other models, but I think the iconic magical girl/sailor outfit is usually really bright/clean/etc. so it's more noticeable here. It might be simply that the parts that are sort of lavenderish I'm expecting to be white? I dunno, you guys are the artists, that's just my feedback! Thanks for your hard work on this skin! :)
Heya!
I think this is more noticeable on Star Guardian Lux than on other skins, but every skin is colored in this fashion - the top of the skin will always be lighter than the bottom of the skin. It gives more depth to the skin overall. :]
Just to confirm: this is the skin that Morello hinted 2 years ago?
Nope! This skin wasn't in development two years ago.
OMG I love this skin. I hope the particles will be something more interesting than just white like her other skins but it's definitely an instabuy!
Have you had a chance to check out the particles? :D
I'm actually really surprised you didn't give her ult a star shaped "shockwave" near the staff when she fires her beam.
"shockwaves" are rather common in over the top anime when firing off a power beam weapon, so I was wondering why you didn't try to incorporate that trope with this skin.
For game clarity, we didn't want the "shockwave" to represent something that isn't actually going to do anything different in-game. :)
I don't quite follow...
what I'm imagining is something like a smoke ring of energy that quickly dissipates after the beam fires. How would that have clarity issues?
Her ult does not last long enough for those shockwave trails to linger =/ It's up for less than a second
hmm, I think I see. Pity tho, as it does feel like the small orb creating the laser feels like it's lacking something.
Dude, I so hear you. If the magical girl fans that worked on her here had their way we'd make that ult have the mother of all sonic booms. No wait, we'd MAKE IT GLOBAL WITH STARS AND SPARKLES EVERYWHERE. YES.

Please tell me there are 4 more star guardian skins on the way so people can make a 5v5 team with them.
: "Light that reveals truth and banishes darkness, shine down and give me strength! In the name of Demacia I will punish you, for mine is a laser that will pierce the heavens! Take my love, my pain and all of my /laugh! Final Spark, GO!"
: "Hi there..."
: ...
: (Screams at the top of her lungs for
as she runs away.)
Sailor Moon Lux, took them long enough, now where is Dragon Master Swain?
Never been more excited for a skin. Day one buy for me!
For those questioning: Lux has ALWAYS referenced Sailor Moon. One of her quotes copies Sailor Moon's catch phrase. "In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!" ----> "In the name of Demacia, I will punish you!"
Oh, and beyond the obvious seifuku and star-theme, this is part of her recall: Sailor Moon's classic pose. http://imgur.com/9VkUgZT
So does this mean Diana will get a Magical girl skin as well (cuz Sailor moon)?
"In the name of Demacia I will punish you!"
Still waiting for Void Lux, here. I think I'll stick with Steel Legion for now ("now" meaning the next two years or so).
It's that smile... So creepy...

Waited my whole life for a lux skin
Hmmm... I wonder if the skin will be a candidate for a Chroma pack. I'm not exactly a big fan of the pink, but I love the concept overall.
Lux is already a huge reference to Marisa, and now Sailor Moon? Or is it Card Captor Sakura? xD I like the skin idea, but... the pink hair is really saturated and bright, it hurts my eyes a little.

The staph seems a bit more Sakura than Sailor Moon to me. It's the wings.
If they go full blast with a magical girl line of skins, they gotta have the obligatory mascot character.
Kyubey Teemo - So much cute and cuddly evil in one skin.

Sailor Moon Rip Off
Inspired by Sailor Moon
Fixed that for you.
As far as I know, Lux's new skin is actually pretty generic fare within the Magical Girl sub-genre of anime/manga to which Sailor Moon belongs.

Rather generic, yes. But if you look through her animations on lolking you'll find various very specific Sailor Moon references, like in the picture I posted on the previous page. I'll add a comparison, though (for fun):
