Hey guys! Working on Kindred Voodoo Skin. Will probably call it Witchdoctor Skin to be less religious. I realised she hasnt have a new skin in like forever. I have in mind which design I want but thought I ask for opinions (especially LOL players) on which design would work better in game. Will choose a design and soon do a full layout and powers I was thinking of doing a Witchdoctor Series where champs that own spiritual, poisonous, and cursed things will have skins. So Shaco, Teemo, Singed, Morgana, Kindred and so on.

I like #2 for Kindred's design, #2 for Wolf's, and #5 for her bow. Very cool idea overall!

Wolf 6 mask looks great, but the snake-like body I'm not fond of. Would prefer to see wolf 3 body. Wolf 2 mask also looks nice, but not as wolf-like as wolf 6. Actually, looking at wolf 5 some more, at first I don't like it but this one has the best fangs IMO. Lamb 3 looks the best, although I prefer the hanging tassels of Lamb 1. Not sure what to think about the different bows.

For bow I like 4 and 1. They seem handcrafted and more fitting.

Wolf 5 feels like a vile, chaotic spirit let loose by a witch doctor due to the details such as the gnarled horn.

2nd or 3rd look nice, especially with her mask design on 2 and wolfs spine. Bow 1 looks cool. Wolf 6 is a cobra? Cool choice. Overall I like the bird thing going on with 3.

Gonna go with #2 for Lamb and Wolf and #s 3,4,5 for the bow.

I like Lamb #2, Wolf #4, and Bow #4.

I like 2 Lamb, 3 Wolf and 5 bow. I dunno, I rather like the idea of making them bird like with their weapons and masks.

2 and 4

I love this concept art! :D

My favorites are prob 3 or 6 for Lamb, 5 for wolf and for the bow I like 1 the most.

Wolfs 4 with the bunny mask is hilarious though!

Looking awesome so far! I think with the exception of the wolf concepts that include the spine, they don't appear that different than his default form (unless you changed the color/particles or something to better differentiate). I think a hybrid between wolf 5 and 6 would be cool.

I think lambs 1 and 2 are the best, especially 1. The concepts on the right are too similar to her default model, especially with the grainy wooden masks. The bows all look great, but 4 definitely drives the whole voodoo look home for me the most.

Hopefully this helps, and I look forward to seeing the end result!

Nice concepts. To evaluate them it would help to get a better idea of what flair you are going for. Maybe make a little moodboard ? Is this supposed to be like the Withcdoctor from diablo3 (dimm colors, a bit deco but overall somewhat threatening) or are you going more for a extravaganca voodoo theme ? Something very stylized like Dr Facilier from Disney or sth with colorful feathers and little gimmicks ? thinking of the Voodoo Doctor Trolls from Warcraft.

When you know your central design elements you can repeat them in your concepts and work from there. Skulls and feathers for example.

About your concepts:

Wolf nr 4 is interesting, though I would simply give it the voodooesque skull facepaint. Also: Ears dont have bones in them. Nr3 also works.

Kindred ...just like this, none of them really says "voodoo" right now. I guess nr6 works best because of the wooden mask. The others seem like the mask is their face and that muddies the flair in my opinion. Nr 3 is a second choice. If the maks is too round it loses it's mask character.

Also think about the two together and come up with elements or concepts to bind the designs together. The original is wolf and sheep. What is the connection here going to be ? Simply Voodoo can work but they should propably share some design elements for that to work. I am curious to see how this turns out.

The bow is unimportant to me right now. It should reflect the design of the voodoo kindred. Since I went for the skull wolf I'd also pick the skull bow here (4).

Wolf and Lamb? Are you asking for tips on just Lamb right now? I don't' get it.
