I just thought this could be an amazing updated version of Spellthief Lux, made by lucpinkey.

Someone else saw this and posted it before (http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/es/c/story-art/JpzAhWKR-spellthief-lux-dark-crystal-ryze?show=new), so I know many would be so pleased to see this as an official skin splash! Also I think it already has the quality and looks like a professional artwork worthy of being called "official".

Not gonna happen, rito is allergic to anything and everything fan-made.

It is a stellar splash, though.

If this was the actual splash art I would probably buy Lux and the skin as well

Nice clickbait, I had really thought it was new splash until I read the whole post.

...Which also shows of how good quality this artwork is!

That is pretty epic, though since it's not Riot made they'll never use it sadly.

If anything is to change with the splash though they will most likely use the Chinese version http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/36200000/League-of-legends-image-league-of-legends-36223304-1215-717.jpg which isn't bad but still not the greatest.

As far as I know, most skins are either a theme (part of a set) or a reference from somewhere, like Stinger "Beatrix Kiddo" Akali, Frozen "Sub-Zero" Shen, Cruel-la-Leblanc, etc...). Was this skin supposed to reference something too? Trying to think of anyone involved with stealing spells, or thieves in general and coming up with nothing.

I like it more then star guardian.

Spellthief Lux will remain the sexiest skin on Lux, even with this change.

Pretty sure it is a legality issue, I know of another gaming company and in their policies anything fan submitted cannot be used. Even with consent, but that doesn't mean they can't take inspiration from something fan submitted.

I already have this skin (but someone gifted me Star Guardian, so I've been using that) If this was made the splash I'd start using it again!

The old one had its charm, but I'd say this is an overall upgrade.

I usually use Steel Legion Lux, which is by far my favorite, but I would probably start using this over that one if this were to happen, just for the splash art. It has so much more going for it than the current one, which isn't bad, but it seems a lot more work and thought went into this one. You have my vote... even though it's not a democracy. :) I don't know how all these legal details work, so I guess Rito's gotta to what Rito's gotta do.

There are already a few mods out there that allow you to change character art splashes. I think that Riot's official stance on this is, if you mod the client yourself, you can make the splash anything you want. (just be sure to let people know it's not the official splash, especially if you're streaming)

Ugh.. The Chinese version completely ignores the "thief" portion of the spellthief idea. I feel like it should evoke the same feeling as the spellthieves of Daggerfall did for me: an agile and stealthy thief who makes themselves even more slippery, or dangerous, with illusion magic (playing with light in the case of Lux).

Is that Kha'zix in the background a sneak peek for his praying mantis skin?

This would make me actually want to buy the skin
