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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

Edited my original post and added some sketches!

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.
