So a few days ago, I was talking on twitter with the co-president and creative director of redhook studio @BourassaArt about how awesome it would be to have DarkestDungeon inspired skins for Overwatch and League of Legend. Darkest dungeon is a fantastic game with awesome art and graphic style paired with a deep background and intersting unniverse of cultist, beasts and eldritch horrors. As a huge fan of this game, I think this universe is close to what we can find in one of my favorite League champion : Illaoi (cf my sumoner name)
Illaoi is a strong women, priestess of an old tantacular god, fighting for the protection of a rusty pirate city. But today I'm here to suggest my idea of turning her into a cultist of a dark, chaotic god, lurking in the depth of Bilgewater: the Cultist Illaoi skin !
This is what I drew to show what a skin based on Darkest Dungeon would look on Illaoi, based on actual cultist from the game and pictures of Illaoi early developpement.
When talking about this idea with @BourassaArt, here is what he said: > I think the best approach here would be to encourage the Riot folks to get in touch with us at [email protected] - we're totally open to doing it!
So it seems they like the idea as much as I do, now the only step left is to bring all of that to riot and hope for the best ! :D Illaoi hasn't received any new skin since her releas and I think it is the occasion to change that, that would be so awesome if this idea could one day come to live!
