Cartoon Jinx

Hello League community. I am here today to share with you a concept skin for Jinx that has been running through my mind for some time now. Unfortunately, there is no art to be shown because I have absolutely NO artistic style or skills what so ever. But this skin has been haunting my dreams and the more I think about it, the more I want it to become a reality.

My pitch for this skin is this: We need more Jinx skins. EVERYONE loves Jinx. Those who claim they don't love Jinx are just closet Jinx fans (We, know the truth).

How this skin would turn out is something along the lines of how Peacock from "Skullgirls" looks like. It would have that cartoonish feel like one from the earlier age of cartoons. Mickey Mouse or Betty Boop come to mind. The skin would feature bright colors (similar to her original colors) and her insanity would be slightly more justified. This would be because her weapons now actually talk (As opposed to it just being Jinx's schizophrenia).

Her Passive's visual would give her running feet similar to that of The Roadrunner when she gets a kill or an assist.

Her chompers would bounce up and down slightly when they were placed and maybe make some type of "mmmm" sound like they're enjoying the champion's foot they are now gnawing on.

Her zapper wouldn't do anything special to be honest. I was thinking about it having a quick 1 second skeleton show up in replacement of the champion being hit by her E, but I know that would be absolute hell and I feel like my skin is already going overboard and the design team has already deemed me as the anti-christ.

Her ult, already equipped with a face, would do one of those amazing animations where right before it made contact with an enemy champion, it would like suddenly screech to a halt before exploding.

For her recall, I was thinking something along the lines of her taunting the enemy or saying something witty (as per usual) before she jumped into a little cartoonish hole, only to jump out of the hole in the base fountain.

Well, if you've gotten this far, I would like to thank you for listening to me while I go on about this skin idea. I know that this would probably never come true because of how much of a hassle it would be to animate and such, but I knew I had to get the idea out there.

Since you were curious: "Steamboat Jinx. A Jinx skin based on old timey cartoons.

Black and white, Fishbones is actually alive in a cartoony way (and Jinx would have new jokes where Fishbones' responded to her in a goofy voice), Jinx's spells do a "poof" or "bam" effect similar to Arcade Sona or Arcade Hecarim's effects, her snare traps would drop anvils on those rooted and explode, and her ult would be one of those classic rockets with a bunch of TNT strapped on.

To be honest, it could be anything, I just want a skin where Fishbones actually talks."

I also posted this on Reddit a long time ago, but the thread was forever ago and I'm not looking to search for it right now!

This is way better than the Steamboat Jinx I suggested, and you even added the talking Fishbones. All of my support, man.

Wow, This got more support than I thought it would. Surprised that people like the idea. Also, I haven't been on league or anything in a few days so I heard nothing about the newest jinx skin. Any links? :D

This skin needs to exist! The sound effect should come along with comic book sound illustrations too.

I was gonna go out on a limb and support this because Jinx needs a skin and I saw the image. (Aatrox finally got one months ago too.) But I hate how you think that way about everyone. "Does everyone love Lee SIn?" No. "Does everyone love Draven?" No. SO why would everyone love Jinx? When I saw Jinx come out, I thought: Miley Cirus clone. So, your argument is invalid and it just aggravates me. -_-

Jinx needs to follow the rules set by the Rubberhose School of Animation ;]
