Marching Band Lux

Nawlien··241 votes·35,102 views

Hello~ I came up with a new idea for a skin. This time it's for Lux, to be specific: a marching band themed skin! I thought it was really fitting, because Lux is such a happy and cheerful person... and because I had some ideas for her skills~ I'm not really sure what these kind of people are called, so I just called it Marching Band Lux... A few days later, after I made a design on my exercise book, I searched for pictures of Lux and saw, that someone had this idea before me (i will link the picture below). I was a little bit sad, but I decided to draw it anyway, since I love designing outfits. The other artist called it a drum major. I'm not sure if I should take the same name too... Anyway... Here is the skin:

Outfit: http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160124/ouqv43u4.png I wanted her to have a red -gold theme. Lux always has some light effects on her staff, but since this baton has just metal on the ends, the shine could be a golden reflection. I wasn't sure about her hair and eye color, because normally I think that skins which keep the original look are a little bit boring. As an alternative, she could have black, white, orange or red hair with golden or red eyes. She also could put her hair up in her hat, but to be honest I always wanted a Lux with a ponytail...~ (Its supposed to be a ponytail in the picture. I guess it's hard to notice).

Abilities: http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160124/zpw6zw92.png First thing to add, I want her abilities to make special sounds~ And second, I have nothing to do with music, so excuse me if im using the wrong terms. Auto: Could be a note, followed by note lines, some smaler notes and golden sparkles. When she hits, you can hear a tone. Mark: A note Q ver. 1: She is shooting 2-3 tones, which are followed by note lines and are played in the background. The track is a simple and short melody which repeats constantly and fits to the tones she shot. (I hope you know what I mean) Q ver. 2: This one is a little bit simpler. Just a note followed by note lines and some smaller notes, which are jumping out of it. Q binding: When she hits, you could hear a cymbal or just another tone again. The binding should look like a drum. W: When she activates it, note lines are coming down and then the shield glows red. Her staff is not shaped like her regular ones (the ends are different). So the glow of her baton could be a note, too! E: She shoots these notes, which are vibrating. While it's vibrating you can hear a drum roll, which gets louder the closer it is to exploding. When it explodes you can hear a cymbal. Also there is a golden ring, which gets closer to the middle and showa when its going to explode. R ver. 1: While shes charging, a red laser is forming a clef out of her baton. Then she shoots the note lines with all the notes and stuff R ver. 2: This one would be really cute. She gets a big Tuba and charges by taking a deeeep breath and then TOOOOOOOOOOOT! (I can imagine this could be a very annoying skin for her... )

A little thing to add, but which is not necessary is, that her walking animation looks like she's marching.That would be super cute.

Here is the version from the other artist: http://donmai.us/data/d3d9ddf6264ed5af4667c326abfdda8b.png

That's it. What do you think? ~

You should do Orianna too :3 If you look in the back of the Academy shared splash... https://i.gyazo.com/466708906e3817fae76f2bdfc86ece2d.png Looks familiar and could make a great skin http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/conworld/images/7/73/Jakuzure_Nonon.png/revision/latest?cb=20150205060030

I still have my idea for Jinx to have a skin based on Jakuzure. Because they both have the same English Voice Actress But any skin based Kill La Kill though I would love http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/v1cq5nXA-kill-la-kill-jinx

I saw the first picture and immediately came to the comments looking for a Kill la Kill reference. I was not disappointed.

To be honest, I always thought that shadow was just Sinful Succulence Morgana holding a baking tray.

I believe the "tray" is Jayce's Mercury Hammer.

I had a Conductor Azir skin idea pop in my head when he first came out. His soldiers would have trombone slides as their spears, his respawned turrets would for a bass or treble clef, and his ult would have a bunch of soldiers using music stands as their shields. No one really went for the idea though. So Drum Major Lux fits in very nicely with that idea.

Edit: Wow, 5 Upvotes....I think that exceeds the number of views my board post about Conductor Azir got.

+1 for trombones. Truly they are instruments worthy of our Emperor

Trumpets would be best (especially if they always played a fanfare), but trombones fit better thematically. Or because I want to see people being poked to death by trombones. Either way

Yeah and his soldiers could do suicides when he dances!

Kind of shocked that this hasn't happened already. She has the baton and everything.

Really nice concept.

I think a better name would be

"Drum Major Lux" instead of "Marching Band Lux"

I can't express how much I want a skin like this for Lux, it's so cool to see someone draw up some concepts and even come up with appropriate sfx (I particularly like the drum-roll on her E). This would make for a super cute 1350 skin or maybe even Legendary.

I love your vfx doodles by the way, especially the tuba ult, so cute!

daw~ thank you :)

I really like this skin idea, mostly because the art is super fucking cute.

I think this would be an amazing Idea! (not a Lux main at all :3)

Having a ponytail would be amazing, i love the gold and red colors concept and the spells particles too!

I too don't know the name of those people who do this in english since I am not a native speaker, but in french we call them Majorette(s)!

yay nibbers1 votes

In this case, based on the costume, she's probably a Drum Major or Field Commander, which differs from the majorette in that the Drum Major leads the marching band, keeping the rhythm and directing the band and whatnot, while the majorettes are performers in the band.

Well drum majors don't have batons either, majorettes do but they don't have shakos. This is more of a stereotypical crossover thing.

yay nibbers1 votes

Maybe not always but there are definitely drum majors that twirl batons. I wasn't saying she wasn't a majorette or that they don't have batons, though I'm no marching band expert so what I said there could be wrong regardless. All I'm saying is she's likely the drum major in this instance.

nightsharks1 votes

Yeah I know, I'm just getting super technical with you because it looks like you know the lingo. Field drum majors don't have a baton, parade majors have a mace that they spin. Obviously the drawing is very stylized and there are a million inaccuracies but it's not supposed to be 110% accurate anyways.

yay nibbers1 votes

I'll just take your word for it then since I don't really know all that much. All I know for sure is that this skin concept is super cool.

Nahara2 votes

All of my yes, especially because of that fucking hilarious tuba ult animation... I NEED IT!!!

as a band geek who did marching band all through HS i love this concept

CarameI Frappe2 votes

.. You know, I just complimented on someone making Elderwood Zyra and now I came across this freaken amazing skin concept as well?? I don't own Lux but by god i'd probably buy it just because how creative the skin is entirely. I fully support this design!!

I think that this is a great Skin concept! I think that this can also have champion interactions. Or maybe it can even be a skin group! It can be a marching band skin group kind of thing! Other people in the group could be something like Nidalee Nidalee or something like that! For champ interactions, it can be something to Sona Sona , Bard Bard , and eventually Jhin! I really love this concept! Keep making these skin concepts. Every once in a while its nice to see a good skin concept, and this is definitely one of them! :D

Do you have any places where we can find more of your art? Its amazing!

Nawlien1 votes

Not really, or at least not in this style. I'm just learning to draw in a littlebit more realistic style. This was my first try on the pc. But I will draw more pictures like this in the future, because I got a few more skin ideas I wanna show to you~ (maybe I'll also draw a picture of my older syndra concept)

I like it but I have PTSD from marching band. Worse than playing against a team made up of Mundo, Jax, Talon, Vayne, and Blitzcrank.

Placentas1 votes

Love the idea and the way you presented it. As you said and even had shown, the idea isn't exactly original but it's still a solid idea and your ideas for the vfx and particles and sfx are great. I love the drum snare on the q, the ult ideas sound amazing, it's all good honestly. As a music lover and a Lux main I would definitely buy this skin, possibly even for the 1800 rp price tag.

Also, a Drum Major is the name of the conductor of a marching band but I believe it can also be called a Field Commander which is kind of a cool name for it too.

Being in marching band, I love this skin idea but I think Jhin would be better for a Drum Major tbh but Lux i can see with one of the smaller woodwind instruments (flute, piccolo, etc.). I could see Bard using a bari sax and since it's extremely rare for a band to march any type of keyboard, Sona would probably have to play the tenor drums. IDK who would use a contra/sousaphone but I could possibly see Tahm Kench or Braum maybe Mordekaiser cuz it's heavy metal... heh heh. Gnar could use a trumpet or something but when he goes mega it turns into a sousaphone that he throws instead of a boulder. Anyways, love this idea, upvoted.
