Hello all! First time posting here. Here is my interpretation of a Kennen visual update :) I felt that he was getting left behind so I wanted to give him some love. Perhaps Riot is already on their way to working on him, but this was a fun painting.
Edit: In case it was missed in the comment that I posted, I did acknowledge the feedback and updated the yordle proportions: http://i.imgur.com/v6yt8Ra.jpg
I love this art a lot! But I have some CONSTRUCTIVE critism, don't take this the wrong way. You did great work. Just trying to give constructive/helpful feed-back.
I love everything about his look, but the ears. They need to be a little smaller :) like this size http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Kennen_5.jpg
Also his shuriken is too big. The Japanese word shuriken (手裏剣) literally translates to "sword hidden in user's hand" His weapon in your art looks more like a chakram, especially because of the way he's holding it.
Shurikens (aka throwing stars or ninja stars) are typically small enough to be concealed in your hand, so it catches your enemy off-guard when they're thrown. http://orig15.deviantart.net/547d/f/2011/271/b/f/i_am_the_wind___kennen_only_by_xcrosspictures-d4b75i3.png http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Steve-Jobs-Stopped-at-Japanese-Airport-for-Carrying-Shuriken-2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OwHdYwH.jpg

I fixed some of the proportions. I totally agree that he was a bit too tall for a yordle. This still needs some cleaning up, but lemme know what you guys think of this one:
Someone mentioned it, and yes, I made the shuriken large because of his Q. I designed a small pouch on the side of his pants to show that he does carry smaller sized ones :)
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Otherwise quite decent
I really like this a lot. It actually fits the recent Yordle-changes. Well at least in some point Mind telling me how you make the ingame models? Do you just draw them into the scenery or use some kind of program?
I really like this in a lot of ways my only criticism would be he seems a little tall and also from my observations male Yordles typically are completely furry while their female counterparts are more humanoid in that aspect. But beyond that it's excellently done and I always love seeing Kennen getting some love.
I don't like it, looks too much like a shounen anime protagonist, typical boy with cat ears. kennen is a yordle, not a boy cosplayer.
It's nice art but the Shuriken is way too big and he looks more like a kid in a ninja outfit than he does a ninja yordle.
I LOVE IT! OMG RITO PLEASE!
So...good things first. This is a fantastic Visual Update concept: it is immediately obvious who the character is, and is incredibly well executed -- even down to nice little features like the lightning bolts on his ear stripes.
Now the bad: you've gotten the porporations VERY wrong for a Yordle.
The new Yordles have heads significantly wider than their shoulders, and shorter than they are wide -- you hit the first part (although it could stand to be bigger still), but the head height/width ratio you have is much more human.
The ears are positioned lower, starting JUST above the line of the jaw -- you can see this in Gnar as well. They tend to go out to the sides more than back as well.
The entire torso is only slightly taller than a Yordle's head, whereas your Kennen's torso looks to be about a head and a half. Yordle legs are likewise short -- slightly less than a head seems to be the case for Gnar and Tristana. Arms and hands are large for the frame -- falling below the knee in Gnar and Trist, with fairly long forearms for the total length of the limb -- you have the bulk in the upper arm instead, with the hands getting narrower.
I'd also personally cut the yellow highlights from the white sections of the outfit (it doesn't show up well in-game), and drop the pockets entirely -- they're not very Ionian.
All that said though? Fantastic job. With the anatomy edits and a bit of tweaking on the outfit specifics this would be absolutely incredible.
Who replaced the yordle with a Naruto Weeaboo no Jutsu?
What the fuck is this shit?
All the downvotes in the world don't change the fact this has nothing to do with kennen nor yordles.
I especially like the pointless scarf-like extensions on his back. Not sarcasm either: they're pretty recognisable and give him a bit of flair. He does look a little larger than most yordles, but I love that at least his hands look normal in this one. Original Kennen has very unyordle-like hands and feet.
It looks great I can tell you put a lot of effort. Could use a bit of adjustments(what the other comments say) ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE!!! 
that's too anime.
For people saying saying the shuriken is too big, just a reminder that his Q shuriken is larger than his auto ones. So it could be the one for his Q.
I also like some of the designs you have under the kennen redesign if you follow the link there are ones below that look a bit better for yordle proportions.
I can't believe people are saying "too anime-ish" when there's plenty of other champs/skins that have way more anime tropes; popstar ahri, dj sona, all the academy skins, etc etc. I say it looks great and keeps in theme with the character. Kudos.
Why is everyone asking for him to be covered in fur the original Kennen splash and model his face and hands had no fur unless you count his eyebrows. 10/10 would love to see some of his other skins in this art style.
