Looks amazing! You are a great artist. Keep it up! Perhaps you can make a Dark Star Nocturne later on.
Because it looks very similiar to her default skin (black orbs, purple colors) it does feel "lacking" to me personally, but that is not really a critique on your art (it looks very well made), but the skin idea itself.
I would suggest having the gold jaw not stretch out to the sides so far in the main piece. Have it be smaller and fit in tighter, closer to what an actual jawbone would look like.
This is because Syndra is female while wider jawbones are more in line with a masculine facial structure, which clashes with the rest of the body. So I would recommend changing the flares at the end of the jawbone to fit onto the edges of the mask when the jaw is closed rather than sticking out a ways.
Really cool design, the head and body design are awesome! Only critique I have is that, less of a critique more of a suggestion, is that instead of having black holes or the like, use supernovas. I understand that it kinda is goes against the dark star skin line, but would be an awesome look for her.
I love her body design, but her orbs look too similar to her classic skin. What if her orbs were pure black instead of a purple border, like a black hole ?
This looks amazing. Great art. I think the helm looks a little too much like her classic skin. Maybe remove the plating on her stomach and show her celestial body. As for the orbs bring unchanged, they basically took her Q and gave it to Thresh anyway...
IMO, make it a 750 skin and use this design, just give her the orbits on her spheres. I love this so much.
Resurrecting this thread.
I get that the color schemes don't make total sense in giving her a Dark Star skin, but come on. Its probably the only skin collection that matches her better than any others. Since there aren't any legendary skins in the collection already, it should definitely be going to her.
As for the art itself, it looks really great. I agree on the golden jaw critique as Fondling Gems had mentioned. However, a good solution to the color scheme could be to give her orbs a more solar look to them, while making her armor pitch black with a (Van Gogh's) "Starry Night"-ish touch to it. As for the helmet itself, I'd like to see it inverted somewhat to line up with her hair or connect with her jaw a bit.
