Order of the Lotus Xayah [Unofficial Concept], Anna Lee

I recently concepted this for a Skintober day (thanks to Katey for the prompts) -- I really wanted to try another Lotus skin.

So far, both of the Lotus skins were Ionia characters. I originally wanted to do Akali, but many people voiced they would love to see Xayah with this idea. Her movements are very fluid, and I feel like it would work really well with some water/flower effects.

At first, I overloaded the idea with a ton of pink because I was really focusing on that Lotus feeling. In the end, I toned it down a lot because I felt like Xayah's personality didn't fit with it. It also felt very crowded to the eye.

Instead, I focused more on the feel of the Lotus Karma skin with more River colors. I imagined Rakan would have the opposing colors (blue outfit with a pink wing)

Looks nice, can't wait to see Rakan I think they should always have matching skins.

Nice! I'm not too sure how I feel about seeing Xayah be bright, but it certainly looks nice.

Xayah skin Pigments look great:

Can we expect to see some extensions to this sample images like maybe just like:

Q: Animation Vision (snapshot: while she is in air) W: The W flurry look E: Pull back e animation coloring

Don't forget: Practicality is prettier

Just a quick note for everyone asking about Rakan -- I would love to do one! I will not be able to do one right away because I do have a full time job like everyone else, and these sorts of projects take time. I will most likely never release a Xayah and Rakan together as it is an extreme amount of work. :) I hope you all understand!

This is really nice! her feather work really well as flower petals, even if they aren't, they are reminiscent of them which is close enough. You did a great job at capturing the essence of the skin line! she fits right into it

I would like to see the flower concept pushed a little more, but I guess that more applicable to the Death Blossom/Elderwood line than it for this one.
