First Skin Concept (idea): Jungle Fury Vel'Koz

Skaliogon··5 votes·1,474 views

Hi everyone. This is the first skin concept i ever made, hope you like it. :D Since Vel'Koz only has one 1 skin (+ deafult one), i thought that it was about time, for him to get a new one. I made a carnivorous plant looking Vel'Koz, because i think it fits him. (maybe Vel'Koz adapting to jungle environment). I already thought about , how the "skills" look, and i will post them for all of you ASAP :)

The name i choose for him, was Jungle Fury Vel'Koz, but i am open to suggestions.

I made this skin concept only using paint.net, so im sorry if it doesnt look that good. ^^ I really hope you all like it as much as i do. I would like some feedback, since its my first skin concept. :)

Dont forget to keep an "eye" out for more :P (im so bad at jokes..)

Update #1: In order for his abilities to fit the jungle theme, i thought about a "vine" concept like "Only Plays Zyra" said; Q- (Shoots a vine ball, that explodes into more vines with spikes and flowers); W-(Shoots a vine through the ground, that explodes releasing spikes); E-(Huge spikes come out of the ground, knocking up champions or minions); R-(He puts all tentacles together, to shoot a large vine, or lots of vines);

(+ green looking passive).

This skin is amazing. Beautiful artwork by the way I am jealous lol. I really like the concept and it would be nice to have more floral champs besides just Zyra and Maokai

OMG thank you. Thats some awesome feedback. I could have done much more (like coloring and add shading), but i made it only using Paint.net, because i dont know how to work with another program (but i can learn), and i dont have a "drawing board and pen", so i had to make it all with mouse ^^ Im really happy you liked it. :D

Not a bad concept. I really like how you were able to make vel'koz look like that. He's one of my favorite mages and I would mind having a skin like this. I approve.

Im glad you liked it. I really tried my best to make Vel'Koz look like that, and still make it have that scary look. ^^ Thank you for your approval :D

I feel that it'll just be a remake of Zyra's passive, but just floats and shoots lasers. I mean, how would you implement his abilities to the theme?

I just don't see how a "floral/jungle" theme would apply to VK. Take a look at his release skin, hiss battle cast skin is a great one because they were able to manipulate the visual effects of his kit into the theme. I do not see spirit energies, note, even though Kuvira had a spirit cannon that shot out purple energy, it does not apply to this scenario, being shot from our observer.

I guess j do not want to see Zyra's and Moakai's theme on another champion that results into an underwhelming skin. If it is going to have a lot of vine/a vine concept, maybe it'll be best to save it for another champion.

Hi. First of all, i would like to say that i see your point, and that i understand what you said. Like you said, the battlecast skin is great because they were able to manipulate the visual effects of his abilities to the theme, but why not "floral/jungle" theme? Since there are so many battlecast and blood moon themed skins, why not have more "jungle/floral" themed ones?

In order for his abilities to fit the jungle theme, i was thinking about a "vine" concept like you said; Q- (Shoots a vine ball, that explodes into more vines with spikes and flowers); W-(Shoots a vine through the ground, that explodes releasing spikes); E-(Huge spikes come out of the ground, knocking up champions or minions); R-(He puts all tentacles together, to shoot a large vine, or lots of vines);

(+ green looking passive).

I will post a "drawing" of the "looks" ASAP, to see what you think. :)

I do understand that it may look like Zyra's passive, and i kinda thought about that when i was making this concept, but since is just a passive, i dont see a problem in having a powerfull looking monster (Ve'Koz), showing that he's ready to take Zyra's place "looks at your summoner name" :P

Either way,thank you. I really appreciate this kind of feedback. If you want to suggest something different, feel free to do so :)

Yeah, no problem. Now re-reading it, (with green as my favorite color), it would be interesting to see what can be done for this.
