New Star Guardian Concepts

Hello, everyone! When I saw the new skin set... i just had to make my own team. :)

Rakan and Xayah : I would like them to share skin sets, I got the idea for Rakan so Xayah had to follow. Yes, they are newer champions, but this is for the next set of SG skins, which may been 1+ year depending on how well this new set sells. If they haven't received a skin by then, then they are due.

Taliyah : I've seen this suggested here and there and I thought it would be adorable. She only has her launch skin.

Taric : He doesn't have that many skins, only one since his rework, three otherwise. He has to have one, he is perfect for it.

Nidalee : Before you chew me out on her having a lot of skins; hear me out. She is the only champion that fits the theme of being able to transform into her familiar. She is an older champion. Half of her skins are recolours, and only two are 975 +, and half her skins are legacy or seasonal and not readily available. She also hasn't received a new skin in two years. She is one of leagues oldest champions and is due for a legendary.

I like that Taliyah's familiar is a reindeer, like the recall and splash of her Freljord skin.

I think Riot has even said the plan was to always have Xayah and Rakan receive skins as a set. So if Xayah got Star Guardian Rakan almost certainly would and vice versa.

I really like all these designs, especially Nidalee. Nice job!

That Taric will be forever burned into the backs of my eyes. lmao.

Xayah and Rakan are great, though.

Sweetheart Rakan and Heartseeker Xayah would make more sense.

Rakan and Xayah are really well done, Taric should be made more manly, Taliyah is fine but Nida looks too much like Lux.

Personally I think a yellow one would be better for Taliyah.

:Throws money at the screen:

Riot, this Taric skin NEEDS to happen! It can cost 100 Gems for all i care. It needs to be made!

Oh, and hire Karui Yoru as a lead concept designer while you're at it.

I dislike that Taliyah's familiar is a reindeer. Coupled with her being blue, I think it's too similar to her existing skin. I mean, I love deer (stags in particular) - but I don't think it's... appropriate?

I'm also slightly disappointed that Xayah and Rakan's familiars don't have a shared appearance or theme, in the sense of being kindred like their guardian. During Xayah and Rakan's shared dance, I want their familiars to also dance and it look appropriately yin and yang.

But, all-in-all, pretty awesome choices. I'm also particularly fond of the fact you included two males, especially non-twink males, as well as the fact you added a second tank. Poppy is currently supporting 9 squishies - so Taric is a welcomed addition.

i really love this, and i especially love Taliyah's design and LOVE the addition of the pet being a deer familiar since it matches her story and stuff ;A; <3 the only thing is, i think she's need a different hairstyle, perhaps something like upward thick buns/pigtails? twin braids? bangs? idk i love new hairstyles on skins tho xD overall these are really nice ;A; and Taliyah needs a new skin considering she only has her release one... she's also 16 and a good personality to be a star guardian, she should be the next Legendary skin star guardian tbh

cosmic dawn rakan and xayah is already really close to star guardian.

This is the best Star Guardian Taliyah concept I've seen yet. Good job!
