i've been wanting to get this off my chest since season 2. i've had a really vivid idea of a skin for Riven ever since i first saw her. when i first saw her, i thought her sword was actually a giant paintbrush. imagine this. I know you all remember this icon http://apollo-pbe-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1436160361/profileIcon871.png (the artistic poro icon) but imagine this. Imagine riven, with that outfit, and that poro's paintbrush!! i think i've sold the idea enough. let's move into details

Q [Broken Wings] instead of the cracks in the floor when she casts, how about we have splatters of paint every time she lands? Or possibly where her sword swings, we could have a tiny trail of paint follow. similar to twilight from guild wars 2, or when you swing a weapon in splatoon. ideally it would look like http://nintendonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/splatoon_octobrush_nzap89_weapons_8.jpg

W [Ki Burst] For this one, we could possibly have something similar to zac's explosion move. except instead of green goo flying out we can recolor it to rainbow.

E [Valor] I was thinking for this ability you could have that same trail from her q just orbiting her, and since all of her abilities have tiny things surrounding her, maybe we can have tiny paintbrushes floating around her or graphic tablet pens.

R [Blade of the Exile] for this one, you may have to use your imagination more. either her paintbrush doubles in size, or it goes from a tiny handheld roller to the one seen in the poro icon. we can have paint dripping off of the tip of it, and where the paint is on the paintbrush, you could put a particle effect on the paintbrush similar to this. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-87_v0-uCp90/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAEwE/cmWjY1J_c74/photo.jpg for all of her q's, you have a bigger area for paint splatter, and maybe more flying in the air as opposed to the tinier explosions you see with normal q. with w, of course it's bigger like q, and e is the same. For her R, imagine her doing the animation as per usual, but instead of the usual default wind slash, you have something similar to dragonblade riven's ultimate, but with more of a rainbow color scheme. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/7/77/Sunrise_swing.jpg/186px-Sunrise_swing.jpg

feel free to shoot down this idea all you want but this has been haunting me since season 2 and I want more people to know about it, thanks for reading :) ~secretstarz xoxo

edit: i had another idea writing this. In normal form, her paint is opaque and very inanimate. But in ult form, her paint becomes alive, and animated, and changes color like the frog picture, which in normal form it's like the picture in Q [Broken Wings] that would be cool because when she's ulting you can imply that she's so in tune with her art that it comes to life to help her

I don't think it's a bad idea at all. It's reminding me of Arcade Riven. However, there are other characters I think it's even better on. (My favorite being Poppy, there was a detailed post on that skin idea a while ago.)

So they should make it a pack. I'm thinking: ? Riven Painter Poppy Artist Ryze(Finally with particle effects changes!) Brushmaster Yi (or Lord of the Brush Xin Zhao) and Palette Jinx (or Palette Twitch)

I would try to draw a picture of my ideas for all of you but I have no artistic ability item 3070 ideally her weapon would look similar to this. http://i56.tinypic.com/2hwjqq0.jpg http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/8/87848/1423401-paintbrush.jpg
