Dark Star Orianna

The idea for this skin was inspired by the thought of a black hole sucking in stuff all around it and how much that concept reminded me of Orianna's Ultimate ability. Dark Star Thresh is an amazing skin with it's purple/gold color theme. Dark Star Varus is not really my taste. He is purple/turquoise. Since both existing skins have similar but slightly different color themes, I did the same for Orianna and went for purple/blue.

edit http://orig03.deviantart.net/4434/f/2017/059/d/5/dark_star_orianna_balls_by_shockowaffel-db0o7pg.jpg Hey again, here's something new. I did a few alternatives for Ori's ball, to see if something works better than just the black hole. I tried to build some kind of structure around the hole, but that doesnt really come together. Other ideas are to drop the black hole altogether and go for the dark star aspect. That might be in the edgy metal style or the broken planet.

edit2 http://orig09.deviantart.net/af12/f/2017/061/7/5/dark_star_orianna_by_shockowaffel-db0xvja.jpg I think Iike this version best. It does it's own thing but still allows for the Dark Hole functionality that I wanted.

Please upvote and or comment if you like it and dont forget to check out my other skins as well ;)

Looks pretty neat,though I doubt we'll ever get it,since the ball would be easily confused with syndras orbs

I agree it's confusing as is but with some iterations you could probably find a creative solution to differentiate it from Thresh/Syndra.

This is a cool concept, very spooky :D

How about, like.. a Dark Star Aurelion Sol? I mean, it's totally in theme. It might just be literally one of the most in-theme skin possibilities in the game, changing just a slight bit in his lore/personality- instead of an Aurelion who's chained by Targon and wants to care or nurture his stars, and is kinda indifferent though slightly arrogant over humanity, instead you'd have an Aurelion Sol who uses his stars for purely evil, caring more about the destruction of other creatures than the safety of his own creations.

WyrmbladeDec 14, 20163 votes

This is why I think Cosmic Orianna would be better.

If it was as good as Cosmic Kassadin it would be absolutely god tier.

FairyfleurDec 14, 20161 votes

Yeah, I love the cosmic theme but she's not really a villain type anymore.

PearPearadoxMay 29, 20171 votes

But black hole = Gravity that's why it fits Ori so well. It's because of her ult.

OleandervineDec 13, 20165 votes

My only complaint is that her head looks super masculine, like Varus or Thresh, but the rest of her looks great.

The heads of this skinline are all rather strange. Thresh at least resembles the original, but Varus would be unrecognizeable if you only saw the head.They're all dark without eyes or any superficial details except the bizarre teeth. My take on her was to try and keep the forms elegant and flowing. The gesture lines of the head mimic the lines of the torso as well. It's rather hard to make heads of this skinline somewhat female. I am curious what future Dark Star skins will look like.

SilvarsparkMay 28, 20172 votes

No and why should they ? Their version looks much different than mine and the idea was very popular in general.

CannabisOverlordMay 28, 20171 votes

Thats what i was wondering about, wasnt sure if they got yours or made their own, or just took the general idea and made it a skin

Sorry, designing a champ from scrap is something very different than skin design.

{quoted}

Did you just copy paste Dark Star Threshs head on Orianna? Im liking this skin already!

It's a mix of Thresh with the Dark Star Poro . I agree, it could propably be more differentiated, but it's enough to visualize my idea.

{quoted}

i would say maybe make the tentacles on the head long and flow down her back like pigtails maybe?

Ohri doesnt have any long elements on her head that would play into that idea. All her skins have rather short bun-like pieces of hair and that's about it.

im not planning on starting him from scratch, i want to use ryze's champion model and just add/change the color of a few things. but if not, what program do you use to do this?

StaugroanoakDec 14, 20161 votes

This is very very good! I would be excited to see this skin hit the game live. I know a lot of people have been throwing around ideas, but you mentioned that her ball was inspired by the thought of a black hole. So maybe you could have something orbiting and being tossed into the ball, giving it more effects would help it stand out apart from Syndra.

The Manly FairyDec 16, 20161 votes

This skin looks pretty amazing. I can see it happening. In the base skin, The Ball has a periscopic eye that it tucks inside itself, so maybe for a Dark Star Orianna, you could make The Ball into some kind of space monster with a single eye mounted on a tentacle. Hell, just make it a giant eyeball monster with tentacles.

Thank you, it's not a 3d model though. It's merely a screenshot paintover.

IT'S HAPPENING!

SilvarsparkApr 20, 20171 votes

Nice! I like what Riot did. It's similar, but different. During concepting phase I actually had the same idea as the "galaxy skirt". To keep the more mechanical aspect of Ori I went with the design you see in post 1.

About the actual DS Orianna skin: I really like it, but the only thing that bothers me is all the shiny gold on her. I know the other DS skins have some gold on them as well, but not in this amount. Also she seems a bit oversaturated.

I did two variations of a quick paintover to see if it works. I desaturated her head and her shoulders a bit. The 1st is good in color and readability, while the second is obviously darker and gets rid of the shinyness.
