Quick note: Karma. Isn't. White. Stop whitewashing her. Other than that it's a good skin but this really isn't recognizable as Karma at all.

Her skin isn't white It's tan like what karma actually is

WestwardZephyrDec 26, 20162 votes

Ah, sorry. Idk what color you intended it to be but to me at least, it's coming across as very pale, especially her face. It's well drawn tho, good job on that!

SayomiDec 27, 20163 votes

If you didn't see how I color pale skins you can go and check out my Snowdown Nami:

I think when you compare this two, you can understand that this Karma one has more dark skin.

You can design the skin anyway you feel, it's awesome. But what you've drawn there really isn't "tan like what Karma actually is", it's just a bit darker than your snowdown Nami that's all. Definitely not tan in the slightest though.

Thank you but i think making her totally black doesn't work with this concept.

IxtaliKingDec 27, 20162 votes

Karma isn't totally black either, she's an ambiguous brown. Being totally pale/white doesn't work with her design in general to begin with. The concept should work more around the character, ideally. If I just saw your art by itself I wouldn't know it was meant to be Karma, or even a Blood Moon themed Karma. Same with your ambassador skin; it's a great design, but your focus seemed to be on how to make her work in your dress, rather than making your dress work on her

... In one of Twisted Fate's skins, he became darker. I don't see anyone complaining about that, and no one should be against it either- so why is making Karma tanner a big problem now? Especially when it's just the skin and not her default look?

My personal issue with it is that we have so many white champs, and very few that aren't white. We have Ekko, Karma, Illaoi, and Lucian- and that's it, as far as humanoid champs go. So it's a bigger deal to make a nonwhite champ white than it is to make a white champ not as white. That's basically the whole issue most people have with whitewashing in any industry/game.

How about you step off your SJW high horse and let the artists draw stuff the way they want them. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

no one complained when Lucian mercenary skin makes him looks like an albino

WestwardZephyrDec 26, 20162 votes

A lot of people complained actually :/

CasterGilgameshDec 27, 20164 votes

who? its really hard for me to remember some times since all thats on the boards are nerf request

SayomiDec 27, 20164 votes

Well it's not just Lucian, there's more examples. Snowdown Syndra, Challenger Nida and... All of these have totally white skins. And I never saw anyone complaining about it :P But it's okay. Thank you for supporting

Gravy TraínDec 28, 20162 votes

Syndra was always white, Challenger Nidalee is surrounded by a such a purple glow that you can't tell what race she is. Mercenary Lucian is barely whiter than normal Lucian. I don't understand why people freak out about this anyways. It just fitted the color scheme better, why would some video game company be trying to hide views about racial superiority in their artwork anyways? You racial extremists make no sense.

SayomiDec 29, 20162 votes

i can't believe you just came down to this post just to tell me that i'm racist. how dare you? i'm the artist, i can decide what i want to do with my drawing your impoliteness is the thing that makes no sense. if you don't like it then don't buy it when it becomes a skin

Gravy TraínDec 29, 20162 votes

You realize I'm one of the only 3 people in this entire comment section NOT calling you racist right? You must've accidentally replied to the wrong person or something.

SayomiDec 29, 20161 votes

Yep i'm really Sry :P

MelledoneusDec 27, 20161 votes

How about we interpret her as being pale because Blood Moon skins are akin to vampire-like avoidance of sunlight?

IxtaliKingDec 27, 20162 votes

You'd be right, pale brown does exist though.

ChadlyTheHookerDec 27, 20164 votes

Make her brown

not because social justice

but because mocha girls are hot [slayer-jinx-wink]

CasterGilgameshDec 26, 20163 votes

i would start playing karma if this was a thing well i would play her more anyway lol

SayomiDec 26, 20163 votes

Thank you! :3

I'd gladly buy this skin if it or something similar was put into the game. Karma's one of my favourite "support" mages. Only thing I'd like to add is that maybe the mask should fit better with the other Blood Moon skins. The masks on the other skins are mostly white, with some red for detail.

SayomiDec 27, 20163 votes

Thank you And about the mask, I actually wanted to paint it white but since the hair is white too, I thought that it's better to color it red so the mask can be easily seen.

Legacy HydralphaDec 27, 20162 votes

Maybe if the hair started out red and flowed to white and the ends, it could allow the mask to have its more traditional colours. It's a great skin, nonetheless.

SayomiDec 27, 20161 votes

hmm.. good idea!

YAAASSS KARMA with red hair. Would be cool to see. She already has white hair with warden. I wonder how she would look with red and white or just red.

Lilythia SomanaDec 27, 20162 votes

Hold on here for a second! We just got an artist which achually took time of his/her own and made something for us. Why do we complain of her now beeing white? Isnt that the smallest detail of them all?

The skin looks a little like her right? It isnt some piece of garbage right?

What are we complaining for for gods sake? Take a freaking "fill" tool in Paint or GIMP and wola, she's black again?!

Nice skin. Karma main here, and I can teel that your skinconcept definetly got the good old Karma-soul-freakingawesomemagic feeling. Good job!

SayomiDec 27, 20161 votes

Thank you you said all things that were in my heart for a while. guys, i know i'm not perfect. my concept and ideas may have many problems but i never have somebody to teach me how to be an artist. i'm not complaining. many of great artist are self-taught it's less than 1 year that i'm in league and its art so i don't have much experience pls help me to get better. Thank you all~

Gravy TraínDec 28, 20162 votes

This doesn't look like Karma.

REDREX7Dec 27, 20161 votes

I love this art and i loved the last one even more. I think the position of her right arm (our left) is off though. When I cover up her right arm it looks better. (no offense). I really loved her pose on the last one. It had the arrogant "bitch I am fabulous and I know it" look to it. This one has an intimidating vibe to it which would work except there is no magic glowing off her hands. RIght now i see a crazy woman making an intimidating pose. But if you add some red magic emitting from her hands and boom she is one scary sorceress indeed.

SayomiDec 27, 20161 votes

Thank you. and about glowing effects... i'm not really good at drawing them :)) but you are right. i will fix it
