A concept I made when I was new to PaintToolSAI, which I now have improved. Taric has no dark blue skin, so that is why I went for the colour. I would love constructive feedback and I can edit the colours, should you want to see how your preferred colours would look for this concept. Cheers!

The gems light up in different colours, depending on the active ability: [Q] Imbue (heal) = Emerald (insight) [W] Shatter = Sapphire (divinity) [E] Dazzle (stun) = Opal (harmony = your enemy stands still!) [R] Radiance (ult) = Ruby (vigor)

The model has one base colour for the gems that is shown when no abilities are active. Alternatively, the gem could just be clear, but I find that less exciting. If the base colour conflicts with the colour for the respective ability, the base colour could be toned down, while the ability colour's brightness could be boosted.

Thanks :) That was the idea behind the skin: to keep it similar, while preserving Taric's outrageous style. It pays homage to the original Power Rangers costumes, but differs in several areas:

  • Added gems, the essential part of any Taric skin in my opinion
  • Added shoulder pads so the look is more similar to that of a fantasy knight
  • The lightning bolt has only one sharp turn instead of two
  • The symbol behind the lightning bolt is a gem instead of a circular platform
  • The wings on the side of the helmet is a nod to Captain America, which the pose is taken from
  • Added "ear cups" - I just liked the look as the helmet felt a bit too bare without them, and it is also something that was used for the Super Sentai Turbo Rangers (Super Sentai is a show that Power Rangers was based upon)
  • The throat guard and the symbol on his chest represent the symbol for male O->
  • The white diamond pattern is on his stomach instead of his chest, and the diamonds are closer to arrow head shapes
