This is not mine, but a very amazing fan concept which I wanted to share with the community.

AurelionSol She can surely guard my stars. Taric Indeed dragon-bro, indeed.

Fondling GemsApr 22, 20174 votes

Taric don't give no shits, he is just waiting for Star Guardian Ezreal.

Stars ShaperApr 22, 20175 votes

Taric isn't bound by gender.

How to get Riot torched: Make another skin for Ahri.

I don't feel that this skin fits Ahri very well at all. The concepts are very well done, but it's not "Ahri".

Kukan SeishinApr 22, 20176 votes

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This, SKT T1 Ahri, and then Dark Star Ahri and I will forever be done spending money on this game

NineTailedMysticApr 22, 20173 votes

No SKT Ahri please.

Kukan SeishinApr 22, 20172 votes

WHO THE FUCK IS REJECTING SKT T1 AHRI

NineTailedMysticApr 22, 20172 votes

Me. Fuck SKT and Faker. An SKT skin wouldn't look good on her, nor should she be sullied by SKT. He didn't even play her last Worlds.

OelykApr 23, 20172 votes

SKT Lulu would be okay with me.

BlackHairedGirlApr 23, 20171 votes

He's been asking for her for 3 YEARS.

NineTailedMysticApr 23, 20171 votes

And? Extenuating circumstances stopped him from getting her then. He doesn't deserve an SKT Ahri skin for her. At the very least, give it to an actual Ahri player.

BlackHairedGirlApr 24, 20171 votes

He used to play her a lot before she got changed.

NineTailedMysticApr 25, 20171 votes

So? He doesn't play her now, and that's what matters. I'd do anything to make it so he would never get a skin for her.

BlackHairedGirlApr 25, 20171 votes

When he requested her, he often played her. The second time as well, now the third time he's just annoyed.

An Enemy SutandoApr 22, 20173 votes

Honestly I've had my fill of Ahri skins for a while. More hentai material is always nice, but I'm kinda getting tired of seeing her all the time.

NineTailedMysticApr 23, 20176 votes

Never enough Ahri skins.

MelledoneusApr 22, 20176 votes

It doesn't feel very... Ahri. Not sure why, but it doesn't.

AbiwonKenabiApr 22, 20171 votes

Maybe because part of Ahri's character is deceptive and flirtatious. Not saying a Magical Girl can't be that way, but traditionally they are more pure and innocent than what Ahri conveys. I think that's why Popstar works on her (sexy and cute superstar celebrity) but Star Guardian might not. idk just my two cents.

Although she does have Academy Ahri, which is basically a Magical Girl during the day, a school girl. Hm...

NyxseraApr 22, 20172 votes

So having seen the original source of this art, the artist intended this Star Guardian Ahri as a 'Fallen Star.' She is meant to be a villain. And easy enough to imagine... having had the time to 'fall,' she would be older than the current squad of Star Guardians. I think the artist captured the concept of a dark, fallen Star Guardian very well, and Ahri is a great choice.

Agreed, Academy Ahri would make a great alternate identity back when Ahri was a younger, innocent Star Guardian.

Riot! Get on this! <3

I like "morally gray" better. Fits her character lore better too.

AbiwonKenabiApr 23, 20171 votes

I was thinking the "Fallen Star" would be a cool concept, although I had Syndra(maybe?) and Morgana in mind when I was talking about it with my friends. Also, Fallen Star is a really cool term for that, props to the creator for that too!

paisyApr 23, 20174 votes

I don't think Jinx fits the criteria of being pure and innocent

Sexy Jack RabbitApr 23, 20172 votes

Her skin is a proposed 'parody' of the genre. She actually fits well into the Genre under a certain niche.

AbiwonKenabiApr 23, 20171 votes

You bring a fair point, but she's downgraded to traditional anime trope "delinquent" rather than full-on psychopath. Think like Yusuke Urameshi, a delinquent that really isn't that bad of a person and uses super powers for good. That's what I got from it anyways, they have been reassigned to a high school setting in this skin alternate universe.

ModAcademy KaynApr 24, 20171 votes

Except Jinx fits perfectly within the "Madoka Magical Girl" spectrum for magical girls.

Certainly questionable in her execution, but her base beliefs in the show are naturally pure.

AzteryzApr 24, 20171 votes

i think it might be because of the stockings plus colour theme as well as her hair being tied up which isn't common for her in most of her skins

also she looks a lot like star guardian janna

if anything a sunset orange might be a better colour

WinTheWarOnPantsApr 22, 20176 votes

Amazing concept, but it is too revealing for the star guardian line IMO. Star guardian skins shouldn't show cleavage since they are a reference to "magic girls" which are young underage girls. they are supposed to be cutesy and not overtly sexy. correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think there is a single magical girl that shows cleavage.

Not a magic girl.

Eternal Girl is the equivalent of being a magical girl.

AbiwonKenabiApr 22, 20171 votes

I wouldn't say "not a single magical girl that shows cleavage", but I would say "a very traditional interpretation of a magical girl would show no cleavage". The Star Guardian line is very traditional, so I would still agree with you, but there are so many kinds of Magical Girl shows these days that you'd be surprised.

Like what about half the cast of Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku aka Magical Girl Raising Project, pretty sure they are showing cleavage. Some people consider Kill la Kill a Magical Girl show.

6SfoolApr 22, 20173 votes

I'm not a fan of the skin line but that's a REALLY well done splash.

Sraeg2013Apr 22, 20173 votes

I've seen enough Korean MMORPGs and Chinese plagiarism to not find art like this amazing.

Sorry.

IA9hRfpP5qApr 22, 20172 votes

to be a magic girl you need a magical staff / weapon. Ahri doesn't have one.

NyxseraApr 22, 20174 votes

Your knowledge of magical girls is lacking. Such is not a requirement.

why the fuck are they making star guardian

we get it, hes gay, why would riot insist on changing him from a normal human being to the stereotype of a gay guy LOL

He ain't gay tho. Even dated Lux.

Stars ShaperApr 22, 201728 votes

According to Lux they didn't even talk xD

ChaosThiefApr 22, 20176 votes

shhhh we follow the old lore here.

Also it's possible that they stepped back in time to before ezreal ran into lux, but again that's just my wild theory.

Velzard of KozApr 22, 20174 votes

They weren't in relationship even in old lore.

Chromatic EagleApr 22, 20176 votes

That's debatable, which is probably why they gave Lux that line in the first place.

underscores222Apr 22, 20173 votes

There were two notable hints: the Aatrox teaser written by Ezreal, with a picture of his desk full of artifacts resembling Aatrox (and a sketch of Lux that he covered up when people noticed) and Lyte (the Hermit on HA) asking about the rumors he's heard about Ezreal and a "Miss Crownguard"

Other, less notable hints are things like the background to pool party leona, there's a grumpy Ezreal while Lux and Taric are running on the beach. There are probably a few other examples that I'm forgetting.

Neither one of which actually mean they were ever in a relationship.

ModAcademy KaynApr 24, 20172 votes

Ezreal could just have a huge crush on her, and that drawing is just him being lovey dovey.

Sexy Jack RabbitApr 23, 20171 votes

I don't tknow where people EVER thought they were dating. There we 2 tongue in cheek references towards them. THey were never confirmed to be dating, just wild speculation from tiny paces of non-canon lore.
