This is certainly a big improvement. But if we think about it and think on her recent mentions in the trifarex, I cant imagine Lb in her current lore showing all that much skin.

Tbf though Leblanc isn't in the Trifarex. The Pale One is part of the Trifarex.

I honestly don't know her lore that well, but I thought part of her character concept was that she manipulates people to get what she wants, whether that's by showing skin or otherwise.

I always thought they would bring her base closer to her Ravenborn skin. That skin is amazing.

##LeBlanc presented in-universe:

Is high nobility/aristocracy.
Her presence in every scene is intangible and clandestine, like an Unseeli Fae/dark elf.
Her main portrayal is presented as if an exemplar for discord and deceit.

##LeBlanc presented in-game:

Is kinda-but-not-really French inspired.
She has more of a presence as a mischief-maker with an ostentatious flair.
She is portrayed like an out of place Vegas stage magician.
There is a slightly seductive aura to LeBlanc, albeit that's more from her ridiculous outfit. So I don't believe physical 'seduction' is a core aesthetic. If it had to be there it should be subtle and not a primary aspect incorporated into her final design. Unfortunately, that has become the community's passive perception of her.

This fan-made VU changes very little from what her current design is and if it happened to be an official concept, at least for me I think this would make for a rather underwhelming update.

I mean, she does have some degree of seduction to her.

At least, Swain thinks so.

I like the staff design a lot.

However, I think LeBlanc's skankmage look is something that should really go, or be modified to fit within the scope and realm of the story - especially HER story. You're not a hidden manipulator or background accomplice or cult leader operating from the shadows when you're dressed like you're about to do stripper routine at a burlesque bar. LeBlanc is gaudy as hell, and it's counterproductive to her entire concept, like a ninja wearing bright pink.

She needs to be in blacks, grays, and dark purples. she can show some skin, that's fine, but it shouldn't be verging on bikini levels of skin shown. She's still got to be taken seriously as an advisor in the courts she's infiltrating, and they'll just assume she's a common concubine if she shows up looking like that.

I actually think something along the lines of what Carmilla in Netflix's Castlevania show wears is what should be the aim with LeBlanc. https://occ-0-987-990.1.nflxso.net/art/00734/549e89066eef65e74ff356014137fe0a53600734.jpg

Carmilla manages to exude sex appeal, exert control over pretty much every male in the surrounding area, and operate from the shadows. She's not terribly opulent, but she's elegant with small flares of extravagance. Someone looking at her in a line up wouldn't think she's more than some noble, and that's exactly how LeBlanc should be portrayed.

but like isn't her whole spiel to be deceiving? So people thinking that she's a commoner would be a good thing

Yeah, but the way she looks isn't the type of person a royal would keep company with. Firstly, she doesn't look refined or sophisticated enough to be kept in court with a king or queen. If she looks like a concubine, you can't expect the king or queen to keep her beside them when they conduct business with other dignitaries or officials, so LeBlanc's primary goal of implanting herself in courts to learn secrets kind of gets thwarted by her looks. Second of all, she outstages most people completely, and if you're working for the ruler of a country, you don't want to look more outrageous and extravagant than them, so there's that.

Well Leblanc is trying to blend in with high society, not with commoners. She has her "face" out there in the form of The Pale One in the Trifarex, which is a big deal. But The Pale One is surrounded mystery, and little is known about what she does outside of the council. We, as readers are led to believe Leblanc is subtly controlling the whole thing, or at least trying to. She doesn't want to be flashy and attention pulling, but she does want to present herself in a way that still earns other's respect and allude to potential power.

although it is good indeed, it just looks too much like the original not that its a bad thing, but such an old champ deserves even better maybe some work on the cape could be done or something, because there is also something that is making this look outdated maybe the posture or the beforementioned cape

but in the end it all might depend on the animations great work nontheless

Sexy Jack RabbitMar 25, 20196 votes

These feels really cluttered imo. But it's nice.

Sir SaltarinMar 24, 20194 votes

Okay that's amazing

FaliandraMar 25, 20193 votes

it looks like she came straight from a brazilian carnival but I'm loving it

Don LupusMar 26, 20193 votes

If she gets a rework, I'd rather have them put more stress on the "slender, dark and mysterious woman" thematic than make her seem like a victim from some anime.

The long black Cleopatra-esque hair, the black robe, the makeup - she should look more like an evil queen than a skimpy purple Jester.

No offense to the artist, but this os exactly the direction I would NOT want them to go with an update

Hmm,seems interesting.I like it!

Crescent DuskMar 25, 20191 votes

I would prefer a darker purple/teal mix but the model is pretty great.

DarkTree1Mar 25, 20191 votes

where is

the pant

SukishooMar 25, 20191 votes

It's a pretty nice design but the way they did the skirt/leg area on the one side it's hard to distinguish that it's two pieces unless you look in the model viewer on the page.

Mr DallowayMar 25, 20191 votes

The face is too "happy-go-lucky clown". Other than that it is nice.

KyraSunMar 26, 20191 votes

Amazing!

ModRowanstarMar 27, 20191 votes

I love the design and textures. Based on her lore though, I visualize her as wearing black and purple (darker shades) less gold. And maybe an elegant yet more realistic outfit than she has in game. Also a staff that resembles her ravenborn one more (shiny black with a gem at the top maybe). She should be elegant and regal and look like a dark queen or empress. THis shows she has a power hild on Noxus somehow.
