Crazed Cat lady skin suggestion ( Jinx )

BestFish··102 votes·27,069 views

EDIT: okay so I had a bunch of text up here but people don't read it, so I'm making it way shorter... or at least I tried.

1 - I know its not exactly a crazy cat lady but I suuuck at naming things so you are allowed to change the name however you want, its just supposed to be cat influenced.

2 - I'm not a great artist and I know it, so instead of complaining about what you don't like HELP RIOT and tell them how you would fix it so its more likely to be a GOOD thing and not a thing you hold a grudge against.

3 - bro chill out, I didn't mean to make it "sexy" or "lingerie" its just that the current things I work on happen to be around that base so it has become so common to be that I have become blind to the border of "sexy" and "normal" (not in real, just drawings) I just thought it was cute... once again, RIOT will never EXACTLY take my idea IF they happen to take it. they will make it more fit if this is too hated.

4 - It's very likely that it won't happen, so if you really hate it... don't worry ; v ; I'm too noob of an artist to do it well.

for the people who want more coverage.

http://i.imgur.com/fB8nrkN.jpg just imagine a tail on that... i forgot to add it. maybe next edit.

if jinx is a crazed catlady Vi could be a dog loving re-inforcer and... other things... etc.

edit: http://i.imgur.com/CR7pruy.png ... im bad at edits, but you get the feel right? theres a reason I'm no 3d artist.. eventhough i play with the programs once in a while and than hide in the corner of shame and stare at other peoples works who are amazing

Sorry but if anyone is going to get the Crazy Cat Lady skin first, it is going to be Yorick.

BestFish8 votes

it could be a theme to start for multiple ones, like the police theme, multiple champs have it.

As long as Yorick start this one. Jinx can come next. :P

LOVE this!!!! [disclaimer - not an official artist, but am on skins team] Something that helps a lot to expose potential opportunities for improvement is to take a screenshot of her ingame and essentially "paint" this costume on top of her. An important thing that I've learned while working with the Skins team is that you can ensure readability by making the lowers (legs, feet, etc) darker and more desaturated, while the uppers (hair, back, shoulders) are lighter, as well as sticking with a palette of colors that supports one major POP color. Take each of Jinx's previous skins: Base, you think of the color blue (and pink); her flapper skin, purple (and white); and Lunar Revel, red (and jade green). And we try to not use stark whites and blacks.

I'll make sure the team sees this — would love to see a whack at an in-game model! Well done!

(and yes I fully support Crazy Cat Lady Yorick and would give a kidney for both of these skins)

oh uhm ; o ; if you scroll up you can see I found a screenshot and edited it : o ... if you want I can make a sample of the .. less saturation on the bottom and more on the top. and I know pitch black and stark white don't get used for these things, its just a thing I did because... well as you can see the design is quite stylistic. and the pop color or.. color accent.. i understand, c: maybe her feet could just blend in with the leggings/stockings? or at least.. kinda ; o ;

Sorry, I really don't like the aesthetic you went for. If Jinx was going to get a Crazy Cat Lady skin, I'd imagine it being something more like this picture by Glooh:

BestFish4 votes

i see your point but I'm sure that making all bullets random different looking and different acting cats would be too much to do

Tis a nice day7 votes

I thought the picture placed the emphasis on Jinx looking more like a house wife than a cosplay girl.

Mr. BaconHawk sir,

Has the pbe team been mysteriously uploaded to the game causing a shortage of employees to update the pbe? Or has the game finally evolved and reached a state of transcendence never needing updates again?

PS Im not trying to be mean or vent anger or destroy tokyo with witty comments as godzilla, i just wanted to ask in a funny/cool way why pbe has seemed dead for about a week now?

It's Ms. BaconHawk, I'm pretty sure. ;)

Crazy Cat Lady Vayne?

Serenity7 votes

Close the front part and give her a tail attached to the dress. I don't like the whole panty + bare stomach look going on here and the dress open like that gives off more of an air of "flowery+petals" than feline.

BestFish4 votes

shes not supposed to be the cat, shes supposed to like them so much its mad, ahh I'm sorry for it, I already merged all the layers so editing would be a pain for something I'm not even sure will make it ;o

Baron of Bread3 votes

I am kind of with Serenity on this one (not the "she needs to look like a cat" part though). The open dress and panties look doesn't feel right on Jinx. I also think Jinx would probably have much lighter shades on her stuff, like on her current skins. She is just such a bubbly type that the dark colors don't work well with her.

Dr Easter3 votes

I agree with the tail idea but I don't think Jinx has the personality taht would cover the front part at all

Shield Villain4 votes

This honestly just looks like a fanservice skin.

BestFish7 votes

and the caitlyn police skin doesn't?

Shield Villain5 votes

Never said there weren't any other offenders, but this just adds to the list. I mean, the cat theme is nice, but why does it have to look so heavily like Lingerie? There are other ways to draw Cat thematics, I mean, it's bad enough with Kitty kat Katarina. :/

BestFish2 votes

havent seen kitty kat katarina yet : o and... to be honest it wasn't my intention to make it sexy or so... it just happened cause i though it would be cute, and i did try covering up her belly but she ended up looking like a big pink grape, so put it like this leaving it up to riot if they ever wanna use it to edit it however they want, colors and shapes

BestFish2 votes

lol, and people are complaining about mine vs that derp, least mine covers her arms legs behind chest and such, ... now hat i looked at it for a bit, maybe those pants could be leggings, that would look cute too.

Shield Villain2 votes

Well, the community is use to seeing Fan Service Skins over normal, good, ordinary skins. Even if it fits a thematic, a lot of the skins Female champions get are very exposed. For every 1 good skin a fem champ gets, there are at least 3-5 fan service skins. Even a covered skin like Frost Frostblade Irelia, or DJ Sona, have their obvious fan service. And while I'm not against admiring the female beauty and form, I think it becomes hard to admire when it's always there and obvious.

BestFish1 votes

maybe but exactly that would covering it up too much seem prude and weird, or nun ish... and there would be some people who are okay with it but most people would be not used to that anymore

Shield Villain2 votes

Honestly, I think the problem lies with it looking like Lingerie, not exactly that it's revealing. Jinx doesn't exactly cover up in her default skin, wearing tiny shorts and an armored bikini top. But it looks...rebellious? Where as here it looks more like actual lingerie.

Perhaps, as you suggested, making the panties just pants, like leggings, would be a better approach, though I do like the puffy aesthetic to them, I think that's cute. But with the transparent cloth sewn into her top, it does look more like something one would wear in the bedroom.

That really does seem to be the only problem people are having, not the look itself, but the FEEL to it.

BestFish1 votes

oh, people think its transparent? its not supposed to look transparent LOL also, scroll up xD I added the legging version

Shield Villain2 votes

Looks good. Though she doesn't look very crazy, just cute. Perhaps a better name for the skin would be something like Cat Addict or something more suggestive of the Cute Cat theme. Like a few people pointed out, Crazed makes it sound Crazy, which definitely would fit Jinx's theme. Though this look reminds me more of the Pokemaniac from Pokemon.

Either way, I liked the one with Leggings more.

ChromeFluxx4 votes

The name should follow Kitty Kat Katarina and be Kitty Kat Jinx. or Lynx. Because.. you know. Lynxes are cat-types.

1st HanarSpectre3 votes

This looks more like belly/veil dancer jinx than crazy cat lady Jinx.

Seth the Bum3 votes

I'm not totally against the concept of a cat-themed Jinx skin, but that outfit seems rather unflattering on her. =/

BestFish2 votes

instead of saying that its bad suggest something better or create a quick edit or show what you mean so the idea can continue.

The Trent3 votes

I wish they made a cat champion. Rengar and nidalee is as close as it got.

JumbaJoopleakley3 votes

There is already a champ who deserves a crazy cat lady skin.

Neko Kaos2 votes

YES YES YES YES!!! This would be so perfect, my fav champion with my fav thing, cats hahaha also I think is a theme that fit Jinx personallity perfectly >=D hope t finally see this in game and can have this awesome skin <3

Pikuki2 votes

Ooohhhhh I know lt of people that sure would love this, a crazed cat lady jinx yeah hahahaha good idea and good luck with this becoing real!! like it so much

Dunkrius2g1 votes

Nice skin. Now you can wait a year for Riot to think about it.

BestFish2 votes

if you read it you figured that iknew it probably wasn't gonna happen c: but that I wanted to atleast try 'cause without trying it wouldn't happen fo sure.

Dunkrius2g1 votes

Don't get me wrong. The skin idea looks nice. We can only wait tbh. BTW I don't use jinx at all, but the skin idea nevertheless is cool.

BestFish2 votes

its okay c: I do use her but I use others too of course ... it's just how big companies work because they have thousands other things to look trough suggested and about 90% is bad so they kinda get used to that. bad example: let's put braum in a dress. ... not sure how bad that would be. its funny, but not a real idea

Dunkrius2g1 votes

How about jinx gets into one of the skin line? Idk which one tbh.

BestFish2 votes

i would think of that but since she is supposed to be crazy a cop wouldn't fit, and the other line is made of gentlemen and... tea party..ness pretty sure she'd wreck that too, ... maybe they should just revamp than mafia one into something more badass than a tarot card reader

She wouldn't be a cop, but impersonating a cop is right up her alley.

BestFish2 votes

hmmeehhh following the rules and keeping the uniform clean to make her act believable... really? its so much easier to ignore the clothing and just blast them in the face
