How would I improve Archlight Vayne skin texture

Niwanee·4/21/2015, 10:31:20 PM·54 votes·27,971 views

I edited the new Vayne skin, so that it would look more like the splash art. I'm not saying it's better, or more correct, it's just closer to how I would prefer it.

  • I thought the texture was too toned down, so I added more contrast
  • darker skin color is not necessarily closer to the splash, but I thought it would fit better
  • I made the body marks more visible and eyes more shiny
  • I added more folds on the cloth and some other changed details, including shadows from armor
  • I made the gold parts more like metal with added details, mostly based on the splash
  • I changed hair and hairline, so it looks more organic

Alright, Riot person, here it is on the game background.

I know, I know, you can't tell details from far. But sometimes we like to zoom in and think how cool the skin looks.

And here is the back view just for fun. Changed the hair because the current hair look a little bit like a rat tail, especially when she runs.

The one comment I have is make sure you put this paintover side-by-side on Summoner's Rift, which is what these skins are designed against, and at gameplay angle.

You've done a great job making this specific pose look lovely, but there's definintely a reason she's lighter on top and darker toward the bottom, with less strong contrasty elements. (I am no official Riot artist but I'm on the skins team). This is stuff we talk about all the time!

I like the texturing of it, it fits the splash art more. Not sure why would they release the skin if its textures didnt match up that much with the splash art. The whole torso region is way off in the released version. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150402202500/leagueoflegends/images/f/f3/Vayne_ArclightSkin.jpg

I think they should have kept this skin on the PBE for just a bit longer until they fixed the texturing, like they did with Debonair Galio.

Good thing I ain't buying a flawed design of the skin.

I like the changes to her clothes, not the golden colour changes because those are a tad dark. However I do love how u added the extra detailing to her gold armour, that looks awesome. I also LOVE the hair and tattoos, i hate how they are hardly visible on the character model, especially since the gold tattoos are kinda cannon to the Arclight Humans

Much, MUCH better! Good job bro.

I really like that better than the original! What program did you use to make those changes?

Zarkkast4/22/2015, 3:24:57 PM2 votes

Please, riot, considering changing this skin.

The splash art is amazing, but the in-game textures are lacking. All it needs is contrast, specially on her glyphs, eyes and hair and it'll look amazing.

I love it but too bad Riot is removing all the 'noise' lol from the character designs. They all start to look bland and boring, the only thing that makes them cool is recalls and spell particles now.

Her clothing and hair is just too plain imo. Still struggling should I get this skin or pool party leona.

I'm amaze the in-game model's stomach design isn't consistent to the splash art's stomach design.

Yes now tell me that does not work in rift? Please, the community is way too smart to accept a response like that.

Not sure if Baconhawk haven't checked back on this thread yet or is purposely ignoring it after realizing that the repainted version is indeed better :x
