Shen skin-Savior Shen

360 OOGA BOOGA··9 votes·1,293 views

Shen Shen is one of my all time favorite champions. Ever since I discovered him and began playing him I new he was a great champion all around. And then he got a pretty big buff which has really gotten Shen some good publicity, bringing all his old skins back in to the light, each of them being remastered and not just a different colored Shen. So lets get started shall we?

Savior Shen, Legendary skin 1830

Shen's armor is like the stereotypical Archangel armor, all white and on the heavy side. Think of a 14th century Christian knight almost. (I'm working on some visuals so I'll try and explain best I can) The helmet is a decorated Great Helm with wings going from the top. these resemble angle wings. He has white chain mail, he has plate mail along his arms and on his legs. His chest and back are covered in a white cloth with the medieval lion on the front. His sword for his Q is sheathed in stone (sword in the stone). When Q is activated the stone falls away and Excalibur can be seen. The other sword is a classic knights sword.

Ki barrier- When Shen uses Q or E his passive shield is activated. The shield is a white aura instead of purple.

Spirit Blade- Excalibur is the new sword. The arrow is white instead of purple, The line between Shen and the sword is a white wispy line. When Shen calls his sword (same calling animation) The Stone from Excalibur sheds away (think of Malphite passive). If Blade passes through champion Excalibur catches fire on Shen's back.

Spirits refuge- The aura is white around the sword and small flames along the edge of the circle. When activated, the sound of flames can be heard(if no on is in) the flames grow in size and instead of a roar there's an angelic chorus. (if no one is inside flames grow slightly and no sound is made)

Shadow Dash-When Shen dashes he holds his sword by his side but facing forward in a lunging motion. He leaves a white fiery line in his wake.

Stand United-When Shen ults he glows white and he grows angelic wings. The champion ulted, instead of purple has a white haze on their screen along with a fiery Shield, it glows orange and white. When Shen arrives he no longer has wings and he returns to normal. If Shen's channel is interrupted his wings fall off and feathers fall behind him for about 2 seconds.

Joke- Shen grows wings and flies a little bit off the ground. Shen does a few acrobatics before crashing to the ground. Shen stands up and brushes himself off. "You know not all angels are graceful"... "It's what I get for showing off to the new guys"... "Not my fault he made my wings too big"

Taunt-Draws Excalibur (no longer in stone). "I was there when angels and demons fought for this world" Shen's sword then catches fire and he points it out in front of him. "What makes you think you'll have any chance"... "I've fought thinks that only nightmares can manifest"... "Do you really think you have a chance?" (Zed taunt is same animation) "You have made me an orphan Zed, but soon you'll just be a shadow of the past."

Dance-The Electric slide (don't judge it's cool)

Backing animation-A circular table appears along with a chair and Shen sits down. A cup is also on the table. Shen leans back in the chair and puts his feet on the table, and then raises his cup as though to a toast, he takes the cup to his mouth but stops as though in realization, his helmet is still on. Shen tosses the cup aside and stands up from the table in spawn. The table disappears.

Alright guys I've been thinking about this for a while now, sorry about the lack of visuals but I hope to maybe one day have some basis for the visuals. I myself would do it if I wasn't terrible at art. But I hope you like my idea and maybe someone high up will notice it. Who knows, but until then, stay calm, and play League, GG. Shen

I really like this concept. Having Shen as a figure of light rather than just balance seems particularly interesting (especially with how it could effect his interactions with Zed). I'm not really understanding the excalibur thing with the stone if you could elaborate on that (I know what it is, I'm just have a hard time picturing exactly what you are describing), but otherwise, I think it's a very well thought out and very cool skin idea! Shen's definitely an awesome champion gameplay and lore-wise and this plays on both aspects in a unique way. Good luck!

Well thanks for the comment, and which part are you confused about? I'd be more than happy to explain a little more in detail if needed

Just generally how it looks while it's in the stone (does it hover behind him in the stone or no?) compared to when it is out of the stone. That's all I'm having a hard time imagining.

Well think of blood moon Shen's sword as sheath wise. It's literally a stone encasing the sword (sword in the stone). So on his back think of just like a large stone cylinder, not too much detail but when he Q's that rock sheds away and Excalibur glows bright with a golden Light. Sort of like that. I hoped this helped

OMG ! THIS IS AWSOME ! <3 I wanna see your concept so badly now ^^ I had the same idea but the oposite of an angel.. most like Black flame ( shadow ) and stuff but yours is better since shen is rly a savior X)

Oh well thank you! Every comment helps to get this some more attention and your up votes (as a friend called them) helps a lot too. But a Dark Flame Shen doesn't seem half bad. Maybe you should put it on the forum and see how people like it

Its a really really good skin idea, considering shens play-style. i would personally like an angelic look more so than a knight, but i really like the idea. It has a ton of potential. Keep working on it!

360 OOGA BOOGA1 votes

Fair enough, it's just kind of hard to incorporate an angelic look without making really big changes to his looks in general, the idea of this is like he's sort of a 14th century Crusader, like kind Arthur, I tried to include as many angelic properties as I could (the flaming sword, wings on his helmet, wings when he ults)

I think Arclight Shen would be a better name, awsome idea tough!

360 OOGA BOOGA2 votes

I was thinking about that but I didn't really think he should go with that general list because Shen already has two skins that are in groups (TPA and Blood moon) and you could even say Frozen Shen is paired with Shockblade Zed, so right now pairing it with arc light doesn't really suit my fancy. I just feel like Shen would be better like this because arc light would take away from the whole knight in shining armor aspect. But thanks for the input I appreciate every comment

Change the medieval chain mail to white gold armor and it's perfect. Great job!

Ps: Here's a name suggestion: Divine Warrior Shen.

360 OOGA BOOGA1 votes

Greatly noted, I'll consider changing the armor that does seem like a good idea but I'm not trying to make it too extravagant to where it doesn't resemble Shen anymore. Shen had more smooth armor sleek, because, well, he's a ninja. So having the chain mail keeps him sleek and mobile. But the armor is a good idea. And the name isn't half bad either. But I think I like savior Shen since in game he is the savior of most people he ults. Divine warrior kind of enfringes on arc light. But I'll take both in to consideration

What about Divine Savior Shen?

360 OOGA BOOGA1 votes

Personally I feel as though just Savior Shen is enough, we cant make the name too long but Savior Shen just has a nice ring too it, short sweet and too the point.

Melledoneus1 votes

I suppose. Well, I can't judge until I've seen the finished product! :)
