Full Bloom Zyra 2.0

Lunarang·Aug 18, 2015·72 votes·4,395 views

Another sketch idea for Full Bloom Zyra. I narrowed down the colors more and changed the design a little bit. Behind her headdress would be a full ponytail.

Comments? Upvotes? Let me know what you think. If you're interested in seeing more of my art, check out my DeviantArt or my Tumblr. I've mostly been stuck doing commissions but I want to do more personal/league art.

Edit 08/19/15: After reading comments I made this summarized list of the points made:

Petals/design closely resemble a butterfly
The design does not quite fulfill the "Full Bloom" title/looks similar to original Zyra
Design is reminicent of River Spirit Nami/Elderwood Bard

These are a few descriptive key words that I would like to be reflected in the skin:

Vibrant
Wild
Dangerous
Beautiful

And finally here are a few grayscale design variations I did the other day. I would add a poll for these, but apparently you can't edit one in the op once it's created? Anyways, let me know in the comments which one you like the most and/or the parts you like the most! (v4 is an overlap of designs v2 and v3) http://i60.tinypic.com/2urb576.jpg V1 http://i60.tinypic.com/b3laol.jpg V2 http://i60.tinypic.com/1z1vdvk.jpg V3 http://i60.tinypic.com/29m2buq.jpg V4

I'm not really into any of the current Zyra skins and I feel one of the best skins Riot could make for her is one which actually recognizes the fact that she is a plant (or at least part plant). So I sketched this idea the other night for a Full Bloom Zyra, one where she takes on the form of an exotic flower. I want to make a full blown splash art image for this skin concept but first I wanted to consult the community itself about the design.

What colors would you prefer to see on a Full Bloom Zyra skin? I feel like my current color choice is lacking appeal. Do you like the design I have right now? Or would you prefer something different? Maybe something with more spikes to represent her carnivorous nature? Let me know what you personally would like to see in a Full Bloom Zyra! I would love to hear opinions.

Sorry babe, but I'm a loner, and loners gotta be alone.

Beat me to it! Too bad the gif doesn't have the girl's expression at the end of the commercial.

Rito needs to notice this. It's so beautiful.

LunarangAug 18, 20154 votes

I hope they do notice enough to take it into serious consideration. Thanks for the support.

Jaw dropping gorgeous.

Thank you!

Not different enough. Could use more... everything? Bloom everywhere, in peacock proportions. At least, that's what the title suggests to me. As someone who doesn't play Zyra or study Zyra, this just looks to me at first glance like Zyra borrowing headwear from Syndra.

Noted. I am afraid of going too overboard since from a birds-eye view in game you're not going to be able to see smaller details very well, but I'll see if I can come up with more extravagant variations. Thank you for your input!

This looks awesome :3 I don't even play zyra but I WOULD with this skin

You should try her she's lots of fun! I find that her plants do more damage than the enemy expects. She does well in team fights.

Hhm, kinda makes me think it's Elderwood Zyra because it looks a lot like Bard's skin.

BlainezyAug 18, 20151 votes

Awesome! Zyra and Diana are two of my favorites and they are the two I most want a new skin for! This is great!

I also think an Aquatic type Zyra would be awesome. Anenomes(sp? Lol) everywhere!

This skin and a nice buff, just what Zyra needs xD

A Miss FortuneAug 18, 20151 votes

Reminds me of River Spirit Nami or whatever It's called. Would be cool to see a few new Zyra skins, she only has 3, 1 of which isn't available.

LunarangAug 18, 20151 votes

The idea is very similar to River Spirit Nami now that you mention it. Flowery, vibrant, colorful. The difference being I want to convey more of a wild and dangerous vibe rather than Nami's friendly/cute one.

VekknaAug 18, 20151 votes

I like it a lot, but to me it looks more like butterfly wings than flower petals.

Also wouldn't mind seeing a Dryad Zyra with tree-like skills instead of carnivorous plants.

LunarangAug 18, 20151 votes

I can see what you mean about the resemblance to butterfly wings. What would make the design more flower-esque to you? Rounder petals? A different sort of pattern? Thanks for the feedback.

when I heard the name Full Boom Zyra I was thinking something like lots of roses & thorns. however, I do like the exotic look to the petals/the color scheme. gj (-:

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!

iBubblesAug 19, 20151 votes

I feel like it looks too much like her normal skin and doesn't flow right. The arms and legs kind of throw me off. If twerked a little bit it could turn out as a pretty cool lotus skin.

ohmygod I love this and I don't even play Zyra. This is beautiful! To the moon with this post!

Looks beautiful, only thing I would change is the headdress. If you ask me, I think the headdress should instead have the branches be the skeleton of the flower portion, if you know what I mean? Give her a fabulous headdress but make it so that you can still see the branches behind it, holding it together.

Edit: My internet is slow af, didn't realize the first photo was a full photo. Now that I see that headdress, I LOVE IT. That's quite an extraordinary drawing, would love to see it made into a skin <3
