Prestige Zyra - my true feedback and expectations
I just want to give MY honest feedback and opinion on what I'm expecting and hoping for. I've played thousands of games on Zyra. I think I can highlight some important ideas when it comes to creating a skin for Zyra. Now, I know you obviously know how to make skins and such, I'm not here to say I have a degree in any of the animating or creating process. I just want to offer my opinions on what I'm expecting/hoping for when I'm playing the skin for hours and hours in the future (hopefully).
I think using a skin can feel like an entire experience in and of itself, like set apart from actually playing the game. But what matters most to me are two things when it comes to Zyra: how the model looks and what the abilities are looking and sounding like.
I cannot stress these ideas enough when it comes to playing Zyra.

Please do not make Zyra look bulky and large. Haunted Zyra/Dragon Sorceress are great examples of what not to do. Both skins give her wings. Please, no wings for a third time! It makes her look way too bulky and they're completely unnecessary.

I love when interesting sounds are incorporated into a skin, like Arcade Ahri's abilities. The sounds of the abilities truly matter for Zyra. Like missiles from the plants, are vital to the experience. Don't burp and choke to create noises (Dragon Sorceress). Give us something natural-sounding and something that will make us feel good while playing it (over and over, thousands of times). Good sounds: the sound the classic skin's R makes once enemies are popped up, Haunted Zyra's E, Dragon Sorceress's Q. Honestly, I think I read or saw somewhere that they made nature sounds for all of Zyra's classic skin abilities. I really enjoy this skin for that reason, I think.

The splash art. No manly/weird features in her splash art. Haunted looks like a man. Dragon Sorceress's eyebrows look like Nike's logo.

Zyra's hair is a very big component. It needs to be big. And the color needs to be correct. The hair must be long and thick, and it must be a deep shade. Personally, I think you should bring back the deep red color from before it was repainted to this now pinkish look. SKT T1's hair is great and so is the classic and wildfire hairs. Not a big fan of the Haunted and Dragon sorceress hairs.
I can't really think of anything else. I think I've listed what matters most to me! I put a lot of effort into this because Zyra only gets a skin once every few years. I hope my opinion will matter to whoever helps create the skin.
Again, I don't have any knowledge on how to create anything in any artistic way whatsoever. I cannot paint or draw or anything. I just know what I like when I see a good skin, and I really, REALLY love Zyra. Thank you if you see this and consider it if you're creating the skin in some way.
