Zilean needs Chromas, so I made some!

So, as one of the (probably 10) Zilean players, and as someone who only started playing a few months back. I noticed something. Zilean is lacking severely in the skin department. And although it's not a necessary thing, it still would be really cool to see some new skins for him or something. He's currently got five skins, one being a legacy, and one being limited edition. The others one we are left with are Shurima Desert, Blood Moon, and Groovy. The first two I think are great skins, although they're really not my taste, and I personally feel that Groovy was some sort of weird cop-out for a skin, just some sort of rainbow recolor for it to be "funny". But it looks awful to me. The only skin he currently has that I would be willing to buy would be Old Saint.

So I was wondering like hey maybe there are some cool Zilean skin ideas from the community? There's not really any at all. There's a few Dr Who knockoffs, (which is fine if that's what suits your fancy), and a few other random ideas. The one I saw that I liked the most was a younger Zilean. I got around to thinking if I could think of any ideas, and I honestly couldn't. Zilean is great and his design overall is just fine but it's hard to work with to create new skins.

BUT, with the recent IP sale for chromas, I realized that even a small chroma pack for Zilean would be super, super nice. There's packs he could have that could still fit with his time theme. I made a simple edit to a screenshot I took of Zilean, and made him 3 day-related chromas. https://65.media.tumblr.com/73ba7a090ad530ebdd4956b175222ec6/tumblr_ocoo4izvyf1qmfhaco1_1280.png (if you click on the image it will be bigger!)

I would love opinions on these, or thoughts or anything. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

These are awesome, but what did you write in the text? Cant really make it out

First bit says zliean: league of legends but whats the 2nd part say?

Edit: perhaps Day should be "Dawn" ;)

Oh sorry!! The second part just says Recolors: GummyPlaysThings Edit: I thought about calling it dawn too! At first I was going to make more than 3 but then they'd all end up looking kinda similar to each other.

I apologize. I don't think it looks that bad though when you look at it in the true resolution (clicking on it).

I love these Chromas! Two suggestions:

  1. Make the clock's inner color_ go with_ but not be the same as Zilean's robe. In his original skin, the color of his clock on the inside is somewhat minty-green, and his clothes are gray and red. Perhaps this sort of "clashing" of colors would look nice on his chromas too!

  2. I would suggest changing Day to Dawn as someone else has said - Midnight, Dawn, and Dusk flow together so well, just like the flow of time!

That's fine, what do you not like about them? Do you have any other ideas?

The colors don't really seem to stand out to me, In terms of ideas, i would try to stay away from dark colors.
