I was just messing around and despite being low quality, it turned out to be a decent looking model imo :') http://i57.tinypic.com/2gufnmf.png

He would be getting in game animations too! E would completely turn him into sand while dashing. Same applies to his R's sweep, something with sand :D. Dunno about Q n W, suggestions welcome!

P.S Can you spot the easter egg? ;o

Incredible. This needs to happen now.

I guess that little green thing is the easter egg, whatever it is. And "There's Sand in My Boots Xin Zhao" looks great, nice job.

Q - Could have columns of sand pop up, like 1 - 2 - and the 3rd be a tornado or something... and his w could make his weapon turn into a cooler weapon lol

but other than my suggestions, this art is awesome brother

I really like the pieces of his outfit... the chest seems too... bare for how elegant and flowing the rest of his outfit looks.

The blues with gold filigree, the white contrast, the black, the sharp lines, just BRILLIANT. I wish there were more off this in his chest!

Get rid of the frog, maybe put a helmet bro's helmet instead.

That being said, this is masterfully done and you have an incredible talent.

It looks like you copy and pasted the Shurima icon onto a spear. The spear really needs to have its shape and color as a whole changed to suit the icon instead!

Why is Xin Zhao sexy he's not supposed to be sexy what are you doing stahp

Sandstorm Xin Zhao so you can have a matching skin with Katarina (Sandstorm Kat) as well as build for the possibility of future skins of the same line.

EDIT: Alternatively, Guardian of the Sands Xin Zhao (Ala Khazix )

This looks great, but for xin to actually look good with this skin he needs a VU for everything you are showing us.

What software do you use?

Silvarspark10/21/2014, 7:06:30 AM1 votes

It looks cool, but why dont you use one of Azir's Sand soldiers as a basis ?

Right now he looks like a Final Fantasy + Varus mix to me.

Guardian of the Sands Xin? Sounds cooler

sektess10/22/2014, 1:16:58 AM1 votes

i would love to see this concept applied to Yasuo , like have his Q a burst of sand and the tornado a dust devil, and the passive when its up would be like a sand tempest around him, and the W would be like a little dust storm, then his E and his R would be like you said with turning him into sand while dashing. if i had any artistic value i would make concept but sadly i'm not on this lvl. i still cant get past stick figures :(

Yes i see the easter egg...

Renek is photobombing hard and he's like: what?

I would back this 100% because of how it looks and the Amumu. I hope rito sees this!

This looks nothing like Xin. If you had posted this image without the tag in the title, I'd have thought it was from a different game. This is also an anime or Asian based style while most of our art is more comic book based.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is bad, it is excellent work, just not the same mindset as league's art style. They recently did a sort of character study where they sat down all their artists and made a character profile storage base for reference during new skin creation. This image would not pass the test.
