Skin Batches!

Ze Ocelot·3/17/2015, 7:47:25 PM·360 votes·80,112 views

Hi all. Haven't created an art thread on the Boards since the overhaul, but now...it's time! Over the past few years, I've been creating a lot of League art, including skin ideas. Here are the newest skin sketches for the most recent champs (eventually, I'd love to return to older champs). Hope you enjoy, I'll be updating these whenever I can.

Also included really rough sketches for Bard. Any input/feedback is always welcome!

My old thread in the forum archive: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1183706 And my deviantart if you'd like to see more: http://vegacolors.deviantart.com/

Edit: Thanks a bunch for the comments and feedback! I really appreciate it. I'll try my best to update the batch.

These are all so on point! I love the Great Sea Rek'Sai and the Toy Ruler Azir! That Sweet Tooth Bard is super cute as well, I love his tiny pumpkin face and the spooky ghost meeps. I have to say I'm a huge fan of your concepts, you really went all the way with fully realizing each one. Great work! :D

Underworld Azir wearing a plague doctor mask. Nice.

I only support this excellent art if you change the name of Musical Bard to Bard Bard.

Damn, is that...... Death Fire Grasp item 3108 item 1058 in Underworld Azir's concept :'( ?

I love Archlight Kalista and Toy Ruler Azir, I'd love to see though! Toy Ruler Azir would make a great Snowdown/holiday skin.

i say YES to the Gnar & Rek'Sai skins.

especially the Great Sea Rek'Sai skin

PickleBabah3/19/2015, 2:22:59 AM3 votes

Amazing skin ideas! If you're open to suggestions, I'd like to some concept art for Infernal Azir, Spectral Udyr (using multiple iconic ghosts / personas that may pertain to spirits), Elderwood Elf Gnar, Candy Cane Thresh, Spiritborne Rengar, Squeaky Clean Twitch, Toy Heimerdingus, Definitely Not Santa Claus Bard (+1 if you get the reference), Festive Nautilus

I know it's a lot of work for these, but it'd be cool if you could just pick up off of these. Anyway, my favorite is underworld azir.

junglerboy163/17/2015, 9:29:19 PM3 votes

Spirit Gnar and Great sea Rek'sai look phenomenal!

CrazedPorcupine3/17/2015, 9:37:45 PM3 votes

so, Order of the Banana Soraka looks just like your Fruity Soraka skin idea from your first batch of skin concepts!

still say riot should just hire you

Keagn3/17/2015, 10:19:01 PM2 votes

I LOVE THEM ALL

Please make more! :3

The Chain Warder3/17/2015, 11:59:32 PM2 votes

Wow, all of these are fantastic ideas! The only one I'm not really buying is Blue Flame Kalista. While I think it's cooler than the Classic skin, I think it bears a little too much similarity. Love 'em though, especially Guardian of the Sands Rek'Sai and Toy Ruler Azir. BUT THEY'RE ALL AWESOME! We need skins like this. I hope Riot would think about doing these, especially since many of them roll with already-established themes.

Pastramka3/18/2015, 12:11:13 AM2 votes

I honestly read ~~bitches~~...

Love them all!

DarkFaun Fortes3/18/2015, 11:20:04 AM2 votes

Guardian of the sands Rek, Sai, Lovely! Void Gnar, YES!!!!! Underworld Azir, PERFECTIONN!

RITO make these, I'll give u my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devack The Holy3/18/2015, 3:34:59 PM2 votes

I want Spirit Gnar, GotS Rek'Sai, and Arclight Kallista.

RIOT, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Gray Fanchon3/18/2015, 11:26:44 PM2 votes

Love the Azir skins, especially how they run from serious to playful; varying it up from the champ's default theme can go a long way for a skin. :D On the opposite end of that, I'd just...I'd just buy Great Sea Rek'Sai. Seriously. That's really good. ♥

(I like the Bard skins! I feel like the musician one needs a bit more focus on it's theme though; is he classical, jazz? Why put it all into one theme, why not have multiple musically-themed skins? :D)

Good stuff!

Colban3/19/2015, 1:16:44 PM2 votes

I would pay SO MUCH for all of these.

Especially Great Sea Rek'sai. Oh my god.

Peridition3/20/2015, 6:32:16 PM2 votes

We need Trick or Treat Bard. Would buy in an instant.

Master of Evil3/21/2015, 7:13:18 PM2 votes

the shark reek's is amazing but for fun they should add a laser gun on its head to become "Sharks with Lasers" just like in Austin Powers, and it would be good for her Q when underground

AngusTurtle3/31/2015, 10:00:25 PM2 votes

I've seen your stuff before, you really have the most amazing skin ideas. Rito should hire you.
