Riot I've been seeing these skins all over google. Please add these skins to Leona and Diana !!!!! I personally can only see these champs being played more often!! These skins work really well with each other and really show off that Diana and Leona are really sisters when brought together or played on the same team!!!!!

Wow, it's really cool to see that Leona concept still getting support two years after I drew it - back when I was just a LoL fan with big dreams. Obviously Leona, Diana and their relationship are a very popular part of the League and that's why it keeps resurfacing! I've been looking for an excuse to contribute to the forums since joining Riot proper and this seems like a great place to start >:D

While Diana and Leona are tragically opposed, the idea of an 'Eclipse' that involves a balance of the Moon and the Sun is a pretty interesting idea and a very strong thematic device. I originally drew that concept as a response to IronStylus asking the forums what we thought an Eclipse Leona would look like and, having a tendency to make things dark and evil (Yes, RiotPenguin and I have formed an alliance with the sole purpose of corrupting every LoL champ), I leaned towards a sinister skin inspired by a solar eclipse.

I'm not so sure that the same design language would work for Diana, although perhaps a version that really plays up the solar fire and the warm accents would work well as a counterbalance to Leona. I also see time and time again the polarising effect the covered face has on players and wonder if it's because Leona is just too beautiful or if my execution, though just a rough sketch, was too crude. Looking at it now does make me cringe a little and Nitenz's Diana is a much nicer design.

The reverse skins by Vegacolors are really well executed. I love how you can still identify their faces despite them having radically different hair colour/armour. I don't think we could ever do designs exactly like this due to issues with how they would read in-game. One important factor we have to always think about is "If this champion pops out of a bush do I immediately recognise who it is?" and while it's one thing to make a departure from the base skin, it's another to look just like another existing champion.

It is truly a wonderful thought to imagine them side by side though, even in an alternate reality. With that in mind do you have any thoughts on how else we could portray them, fighting as one?

Wait what? They are not sisters o.o Diana was born a solari, Leona was born to Pantheons tribe and later adopted by the solari. As for the skins they look all right, I think I like the reverse skins better though where they switch roles https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9KJPICIAAAHe5X.jpg

I'd buy both, hell take 1800 rp for either while you're at it. Dead serious, I'd buy 'em. Hardcore. Hell I'd consider gifting one out just out of excitement. Diana needs a solar skin and Leona needs a lunar skin too while we're at it.

while the idea is fantastic, I haven't yet read how they might have this common bit, cause leo is of the sun, dressed repectively, and Diana the moon. an eclipse might be a time they both armor up for an even dealier opponent than each other, say a being of absolute darkness that comes with the dual eclipe or somefin. run with it. original and refreshing I say :-)

If they are in developpement. Be sure that they will take the time to finish them properly. Just check the time that it took for PulseFire Ezreal. When they'll come out, they'll be awesome.

It might be a double Legendary.

I've recently started playing a lot more Diana (LOVE HER) and I would love love love this skin. She needs a skin that is completely different look for her.. Her two currents ones just don't do it for me even though I do own Lunar Goddess.
