Orianna skin - GlaDOS

I do NOT own this image, nor do I claim to. All credit to original artist.

I think this needs to be seen. With the skin 'Android Janus' coming out for Smite, which is a cross between a HAL/Portal reference (in my eyes), this skin is long overdue. That being said, obviously there are some copyright issues here, but I'm sure the skin could be toned down quite a bit to retain the Portal-esque feel without being GLaDOS on legs with a floating Wheatley.

This could go with a more GLaDOS-feeling voice, (or hell, call it a filter) and slap on a 1350 tag and I'd still buy it in a heartbeat. Give her all new quotes altogether and call it a Legendary skin and I'd still do the same. I know I'm not the only big Portal fan out there, so I'm sure there are others willing to snatch this skin fresh out of the oven.

Hell, Valve is a pretty cool company, at least from what I've seen. They did that huge event between Team Fortress 2 and Adult Swim, where they worked together to produce different hats and cosmetics for the game based on some of their top-rated shows. I by no means know anything about businesses or how something like this works, but for the sake of this skin, I'm quite prepared to sound ignorant when I say I'm pretty sure Valve would be willing to not only work something out with Riot to make a skin like this possible, but even make an event for both our game and one of theirs by doing so. This could be a great thing for both companies involved.

The only robot we have that looks sleek and smooth in the game right now I'd say is iBlitzcrank, so why not make this skin for Orianna? Not only could it tip the hat to Valve for their amazing job at Portals 1/2, but it could give Ori a skin that is based less on the silver, metallic machinery and give her a white, sleek look.

TL;DR: I wanted to bring this skin to people's (and Riot's) attention, because I really liked the skin's concept and the look. The production of this skin could be beneficial to both Riot and Valve.
