Skin Idea for Leona and Diana
Parallel
Hello I was browsing the internet and I really thought that this was a killer concept for 2 skins. Need thoughts on this please. Riot I hope you find this appealing!! (cr: VegaColors)

RiotRiot Sweet89 votesThis is a nice 'what if we lived in an alternate universe' or what if their stories had been different? Something I always wanted out of the original character designs was more infusion of the solar/lunar themes. Bits of sunlight and elements of heat coming out of Leona or Diana having stars in her hair or constellations on her outfit.
Concept definitely gets you thinking.
Wahka Maka 5 votesSoo Sweet, is there still hope? Even in the smallest bit? What if it was rather Eclipse Armor Leona / Phoenix Armor Diana, etc.
ULTRAF0RCE11 votesthe only problem according to the skins team is that they might be confused for one another if not carefull
Kovah4 votesEh... I don't think so. They have completely different spell looks, leonas are more slow and smooth while diana has explosive fast spells.
ShadowNinetails5 votesIf you have to wait for the Solar Flare to come down on your face before you recognize that it's Leona and not Diana, you're probably dead.
cshakes5 votesThey also have different silhouettes. Leona has a shield, for one.
GaleWinUnleashed3 votesThey can keep their normal stances, and have their hair colors normal as well.
The swapped hair colors in this art actually confuse me; it makes it look as though Diana found a heavier set of Lunari armor and weapons to use in place of her khopesh/scythe, and Leona decided she'd rather cut people than lug a shield all over the place.
Vesarixx5 votesI had a similar idea for a 
skin, where instead of you play as Senna.
phillydsteak2 votesRito, wouldnt that make the fan fictions worse?

Jk, i think this is a great idea, I'd buy Lunari .
Killer X 121 votesI ship it.

Vølrøn2 votesI really hope you guys at Riot are truly considering this concept. I wouldn't hesitate an instant in the acquisition of these skins! A LOT of us know full well that the artists and skinners of Riot will be able to do some really fantastic things with this concept, and other champions that would easily fall into this.
Funny note, the moment I saw this, I started throwing money at my screen. Even though I now realize it's not some kind of hidden skin preview thing, I can't help but keep throwing money at my screen....
Kinjishi2 votesA better way to make this happen... have two new champs for both the sun and moon. Diana could have an apprentice or come upon a member of the Lunari that was thought to be dead (frozen in time, reincarnated, etc. - mirror of Leona). Leona has another Solari that has achieved a level of fighting ability that is more on par with hers (mirror of Diana).
phillydsteak2 votesDamn son that is good stuff

Man/Woman you just blew my mind. This is a freaking amazing idea. Riot should get a couple teams together to come up with these champions and release both at the same time, that would be incredible. Also they could somehow make their lore coincide with each other. Like twins born of the different "houses" by the a nobel couple or something. You have really got the gear turning now.
Kinjishi1 votesGlad you like this take on the skins. It would be really awesome if they happened this way. Love some of your concepts for them, too.
ExecutorDill2 votesEclipse Leona/Diana. What best than to make a duo skin concept about the actual meeting between the sun and the moon?
Eclipse Confirmed

here let riot have a bite of this http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/50P2QOJ8-baux-apprentice-to-the-moon-laurel-apprentice-to-the-sun-dual-champion-concepts
TeemoJenkins18 votesRITO TAKE MY MONEY!
Yasu0 is dog16 votesNow that's a shield I can get behind
Wahka Maka 4 votesI see what you did there lol. YOU GET A LIKE!
SunGold10 votesnice XD and i think we all agree that diana needs a** red**ish skin
TheTyeGuy9 votesI SUMMON THE ALMIGHTY IRONSTYLUS!!
Electro5222 votesGet the parrots out!!!
The Ruined King8 votesDon't mean to be a downer, but they've already stated that skins like this aren't going to happen because of clarity. (Leona possibly looking to much like Diana, and vice versa.) They totally could make a Diana skin though of her before she finds the Lunari armor... :)
Embertine5 votesActually Riot is extremely contradictory about skins. They clearly state that they will not accept skin or champion concepts for the game due to a bunch of legal stuff, but have nevertheless taken community based skin ideas and made them in the game. So there is always the chance this will be done anyway.
Keagn7 votes@Riot KateyKhaos , you need to check these out! :O
BallisticMouse5 votesI feel as though Riot wouldn't do this due to lack of 'clarity' and minor confusion.
Solaxo1 votesThere are many reversed skins and such
BallisticMouse3 votesMany? I can only think of Annie's reversal with Tibbers.
ShadowNinetails2 votesReversed with other champions? Like if you took away the shield from Lunari Leona, I'd say they both look a bit weird, but it would take me time to realize that they're actually switched. Enough time in-game that I'd probably eat a Solar Flare in the face and get murdered because I thought that was Diana.
Embertine4 votesThat would be awesome! I must have it!
kitcat3004 votesvegacolors being creative as always
Wahka Maka 3 votesI agree, although most of his concepts seem over looked, this needs to be skins I can purchase. The concepts are too great.
SpecterVonBaren4 votesWhat it needs to be is that what this is is just swapping their color pallets and icons, so it leads to confusion on who's who, so instead it should have them swap icons but have unique color schemes of their own. So while Leona is the radiant dawn, have Diana be like, the dying sun and have her solar skin be red and themed around the setting sun. Meanwhile, Leona could be themed around the harvest moon and still have a golden color to her skin but it instead having a lunar theme to it.
Daedalus8713 votesThis idea was stolen from me:
Daedalus8713 votesBoth from 11/12/2013
Neo Cyrus3 votesI'd buy both. Do you not want my money Rito?
Hissael3 votesTHIS....I WANT THIS....RIGHT HERE....RIGHT NOW.....RITOOOOOO!!!!
Killer X 122 votesThats a really interesting idea! Diana is one of my fave champs, i'd love if one of her skins was worth buying lol
Was just thinking: What about their taunts and such? Leona bangs on her shield. And for Diana's dance she spins her blade around her. I think all the animation changes they'd have to do to make the skins function would deter them.
ShadowAce6662 votesYeah, a Theme-Swap for characters like Diana & Leona is something that looks really good, I support it :3
Jamnon2 votesWicked awesome idea and expertly done.
I do worry about readability, however. What happens when they are on the same team with matching skins, are the skins different enough to tell the difference?
Not a "hell no" but just food for thought. Although many champs do have matching skins, how would you propose to make them stand out from each other?
TeemoJenkins2 votesWhy does Reverse Annie exist? Don't people get confused and attack the bear instead of the girl? ....
loJqHZVnYS2 votesWe should do the same to Kayle and Morgana!! <3 <3 <3
19 19 191 votesthis isn't going to happen lol sorry guys
Electro5225 votesWay to be a buzz kill.
Mistress Madoka1 votesSo, I'm not the only one that thought Diana looked Sort of like Riven, right?
2 much sauuuce2 votes[{quoted}](name=Baldur Odinson,realm=NA,application-id=A8FQeEA8,discussion-id=lFcOTLfb,comment-id=0031,timestamp=2015-02-03T17:12:31.448+0000)
So, I'm not the only one that thought Diana looked Sort of like Riven, right?
If by looked like Riven you meant her sword is broken, her hair is short and the completely wrong color then yes...
CrazyBear19871 votes2 years later and still nothing. Such a great concept and artwork and yet we haven't seen any evidence of community work put into the game...yet.
Hopefully the new client will allow RIOT to have the power to add in community concepts and creations for all to enjoy.
let this be a reminder in hopes one day our vision will be given a chance to be inside League of Legends
