Skin - Wimbledon Bard

stealyfill··1 votes·470 views

White shirt with black/dark blue design w/ red and gold shorts (possibly red with a dual gold stripe going down each side). Sweat band on forehead. Horn is a Tennis Racket. Meeps are bouncing balls. Chimes would be a tennis ball canister with a number forming above his head, 1 through 5, with the 5 graphic being the mystical glitter that he gets when he picks up chimes in the vanilla skin. B animation would be him bouncing on a big tennis ball, similarly to the green thing in his vanilla skin. The Meep balls will be bouncing next to him.

Q animation looks like him serving a ball (slightly different looking center if launching a Meep) with his usual glowing aura, with the serve sound (see: Any tennis match ever).

W animation would be water/energy drink placements. Either have a near-empty bottle filling itself up until it matures into a full bottle, or do a paper cup of water that shakes when it gets close to maturing into a bottle of water, almost popping in to the water bottle form.

E animation would be a giant tennis ball canister that, when created, would pop the top off and open up towards the sky, as though there is a hinge on top. Travelling through can be either the character model with a clear aura, MonkeyBall style, or replace the purple ball with a tennis ball.

R animation would be him lobbing a huge tennis ball to the selected area, possibly adding a shadow of where it will land. Those hit will still be in stasis, but the words "Out of Bounds!" or "Ace!" will worm as the stasis effect goes off, stopping play for a moment, like in tennis.

If I am forgetting anything, or you have an idea that can improve the overall flavor of the skin, let me know.

agreed. I have no artistic ability, unfortunately. While bard did just get a skin, I make these as they come to me, possibly through playing the champ or thinking of a motion that they make and extrapolating off of that.

hell yeah! Without going into much detail, i got fired from my job last Monday, and, while I've been looking for something else to do, I looked into trying to get a job at Riot doing skins. A few links in my travels led me here, and I just started writing down things I've had in my head for a little while, be it fully formed skin ideas, or certain champs getting a skin in the same grouping as another. As an example, I just wrote a small thing as to why I think Vi should have a boxing skin, like Lee Sin. Thank you for your input!
