So I'd never designed skins before, but I decided to a while back because I love star guardian skins so much. I had a blast doing these, hopefully y'all like them! I see Irelia as the leader since she's kind of a freedom fighter in her lore.

These all look really good & I wouldn't mind seeing any of them released as real skins. I definitely like the Colors used for each Guardian, Particularly Tristana's Chartreuse/Teal & Jhin's Rose Red.

Me: "No way Jhin can be a star guardian." Me after I clicked the post: "Damn Jhin lookin' clean af"

I'm not a big fan of Zoe's design, it's all over the place. They don't change the hair designs completely because the champion has a certain lay out already set for their hitbox. I like the others tho!

The Jhin design is based on Tuxedo Mask isn't it...

I like it.

I feel like there needs to be more detail in general to reach Riot standards, but these are definitely good ideas.

I do also wonder how males fit in with the whole "Star Guardian" thing, because right now all we have is Ezreal, and everyone still refuses to accept that he's straight.

As a Zoe main, I love the design you gave her. It's adorable. Jhin, Tristana, and Taliyah all look great. I'm particularly fond of Tristana's familiar being an Explosive Charge with wings. Irelia looks very pretty. Well done on that. She's a strong contender for my favorite, and given how much I love Zoe and Tristana, that's an accomplishment.

I do have one suggestion, though: I feel like Zoe's familiars not matching her heterochromatic eyes here is a missed opportunity. You took the step to give her two differently colored familiars, and one of them even seems to match one of her eyes. Why not take that extra step?

When will you do a Star Guardian Kled riding a space dragon or something?

Tristana feels like a copy of Star Guardian Lulu. Maybe change her color scheme from green to something else? Yellow? Gray?

This is still awesome though. I love Jhin and Zoe!

Take my money for the Irelia skin already thanks

I like the Jhin design, that's really neat take on that.

I really like most of these, you even used two of the champions on my dream team: Taliyah Sona Zoe Annie Nunu

Jhin is a 100% yes, Irelia I feel would not fit into this though its my opinion. She gives me the "relies on herself more than allies in fights" kind of vibe. Tristana and Taliyah I have seen tons of fan art for and I love the looks on these two, only difference I'd make would be maybe make Taliyah's outfit more of a reddish/ maybe add a cape. Zoe I have mixed feelings about being a Star Guardian, in ways she can be but again like Irelia I don't really see her being one. Ashe or even Xayah/Rakan would be a better choice.

Main complaint: Why on earth is Jhin's Star Guardian Spirit flying Potstickers?!?! They should be like 4 mini bullet-like Flamenco dancers, kinda like Sex Pistols from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures Golden Wind http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Sex_Pistols Otherwise maybe add some details onto Jhin's mask otherwise they all look pretty good

DarkTree112/23/2018, 6:47:54 AM1 votes

jhin one needs more cape. you can never have too much cape

Terozu12/23/2018, 8:05:04 AM1 votes

So... Zoe would be the leader?

Current SG canon is that pinks are the leader and shes the pink.

Personally I feel like she'd fit the spiritual green more

In my own fan team Zoe is green, Kayn is blue, Taliyah is pink, Ekko is red and Kai'Sa is purple.

I think the main color for SG Tristana should be changed. She may look too similar to SG Lulu (but perhaps it's fine since Trisatan has a large cannon).

Beside that, I like them all.

IG Ziko12/23/2018, 11:10:47 AM1 votes

Really nice job. These look so damn amazing and clean. Still, I'm asking for a star Guardian Urgot and Star Guardian Sion. Make them as pink as possible, please :D

Can we get some more star guardian top laners? I'm sick of trying to coordinate an all-star guardian team comp and just have it fall apart at "who should jungle? If poppy jungles, who goes top?"

Dark Vaatu12/23/2018, 3:30:13 PM1 votes

jhin belong in dark star not star guardian. i can only picture zoe and taliyah on there. in addition i can picture neeko,xayah and rakan part of it.

ZaneShadow12/23/2018, 5:31:36 PM1 votes

I actually really like the jhin one, but am like breaking my brain imagining him as a good guy. I love all this fan art so much, very well done! Might have given taliya the green color pallet, but that’s pretty minor. Great work and thanks for sharing!

Personal fantasy team: Taliyah Taric Quinn Camille Zoe Kind of as the older, leader group that act in place of the first star since it litterally only talks to lulu.

item 3070 Riven always left out These are very nice though, and I would even use this Irelia skin over divine sword.

the art here is great, and i love the ideas, but the real shining concept work are the ability VFXs concepts. they fit perfectly, they look professional and amazing in these screen shots.

great job!
