Made a skin for Bard, any feedback would be great! If people like it well enough I'm thinking of doing some mockups of his spells as well.

Hey jnarkoviech,

This is fantastic! I love the mask, and the skin itself is really clean! ALSO, HOLY CRAP THE MEEPS ARE ADORABLE! I'd love to see some of the spells. ^-^

Holy crap a red post! Thank you! It's a huge dream of mine to work at Riot someday.

Can you pass this to the skin designers? I really think this kind of thing could actually be in game.

Please don't make the next Bard skin something generic and boring as Blood moon or Warden or whatever skin, please don't.

That is actually a really cool concept. Rito pls.

Really good, looking forward to the in-game models you develop.

jnarkoviechOct 5, 20151 votes

Unfortunately there won't be any models, if I had the skill I'd do it in a heartbeat. :( Currently all I can make 3d model wise is very boxy things.

This is where you request someone to try working with you on it in order to make it more appealing to Riot than just concept designs ;) I'm sure the idea has been thought of and if you can keep on it and even develop a splash art it can end up becoming a skin. ^_^ Especially since we are nearing the end of the year.

jnarkoviechOct 5, 20152 votes

I would definitely try to do that! Based on the response I'm getting here I'm going to try to do more of his skills and a splash art eventually.

Try submitting your artwork to the unofficial League group on DA.

Many 3D artists frequent the group and will likely sculpt out a model, if they like your artwork. ;3

That being said, I post beginner tutorials for ZBrush and 3D modeling/animation on my youtube channel.

If you're interesting in learning to sculpt models yourself: https://www.youtube.com/user/RequiemsVoid

If you have any questions or requests for future vids, feel free to hit me up there or on my DA page: http://requiemsvoid.deviantart.com/

Bard does need another Skin

Wish I could upvote more than once :(

I love the meeps since their face really makes me think of a mask, it just works really well. +1, the whole spirit theme works really well with Blood Moon and Bard. Could definitely see this becoming a thing.

I like it, thought there's something about Bard's horns that seem off to me. Have you tried experimenting with different styles of horns?

jnarkoviechOct 4, 20151 votes

They were a bit bigger when I drew up the concept but I sized em down. I think looking at it now I could probably make them a little bigger. I didn't want to deviate too far from the theme of other blood moon skins that have the smooth kind of horn. What kind of horns did you have in mind though?

ArcticSiriusOct 5, 20151 votes

Maybe space them out abit. They seem like they might be abit too close together

This is a really amazing looking skin. I'd buy that.

I play a lot of Bard and I'd buy this Day 1 for sure. Really good concept.

jnarkoviechOct 4, 20151 votes

thank you! means a lot to me to hear that. :)

Works really well for him considering he already has a mask to start with. Really love the skins that are sort of the opposite of a champs nature, Like gentleman Chogath or Reaper Soraka . I hope riot one day makes this skin :D

KnattOct 4, 20152 votes

yup. Here's my upvote

Oliver The FiendOct 4, 20152 votes

Only if his ult a giant Yin-Yang.

That's the only addition I'd add to that skin, otherwise it's perfect.

so cool

FowusOct 5, 20152 votes

Looks really cool, but for some reason the legs bug me

jnarkoviechOct 5, 20152 votes

What exactly about them bugs you?

FowusOct 5, 20152 votes

it's not much but those little white things wrapped on his legs

jnarkoviechOct 5, 20151 votes

Ah! Those are actually his pants and the blue part is fabric laid over it and tucked into the bangles at the bottom. Hopefully they make a little more sense when you look at them now?

FowusOct 5, 20152 votes

Thank you for clarifying I see now :)

King LevayathnOct 5, 20152 votes

Because of this skin, I would try even harder to learn Bard haha! Awesome Concept!
