[Skin Concept - Medieval Shyvana]

A skin concept that came to mind for Shyvana , that I'm surprised others haven't brought up, is a medieval skin. We have a few medieval themed skins so far, and the titular Medieval Twitch skin, but I think Shyvana could easily have one herself. What i was thinking is that since she already has the proper aspect of a fantasy dragon with her dragon form, a regular medieval look would fit nicely. But that's what I think personally. What do you guys think?

Hm. While I appreciate the direction (and discussion of Shyvana skins in totality), I assume my reluctance stems from the Ironscale Shyvana skin, which already finds itself towards the direction of medieval between her knight-like metal armor and simplistic hair style: no crowning jewels, feathers, spikes, etc. Her dragon form in Ironscale is also essentially a European red wyvern with the same knight-ish armor. Unless we're taking it to a full blown Legendary skin, a medieval would share a lot in common with Ironscale, and for that, I'm drawn to say it'd be an unlikely project. However, the day Ironscale's splash art is redone, it'll probably become more medieval-identifiable.

As a Shyvana main and long-time dragon lover, I'm more interested in a oriental or spiritually-tuned skin eventually being released: those are areas not yet covered. I'd say a Cosmic would also look great (definite fan of that theme), but she already had Super Galaxy (Cosmic…Galaxy…might too close of sibling universes) and Darkflame already boasts its share of dark values and purples (well known in Cosmic). An oriental anything though would be a very different direction and invite a whole new palette balance to work with. However, it'd probably be an expensive remodeling, so I'd expect it to be 1350 RP or a Legendary. Definitely would be worth, though.

EDIT: The personal dream is a Lunar Revel legacy 1350 RP or always-in-store Legendary 1820 RP that shares some things in common with these ideas posted in https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/ML7EtqaA-legacy-skin-or-legenday-dragon-fist-shyvana-omg-riot-why-havent-you-thought-of-this. That ballpark. <3
