Why does no one like it? I love it personally, it works with everything I know about her. Just can't find the bell, and I distinctly remember her having a bell T-T.
Can someone explain? I love the skin SOOO much but people are always crying about it =(. Do I have bad art taste?
Keevalroy2 votesHer face looks bad and makes her look like she's about to sneeze, I don't get the chin, she looks much older, I can't tell if she's running or falling, she looks like a corpse, the tails look like matted carpets, her hair and ears are much better than the first attempt, but still don't look right, and she looks like she's in a swamp rather than an Ionian forest.
I'm nitpicking a lot, downvote if you wish, but I really dislike this art, and don't understand why Riot wanted to force it on us even though we said we didn't like it, and asked for a redo.
The creator of the original splash made one in his spare time for the people that hated the new art or just wanted to see how the design process went, and I have to say, it looks so much better than what we have now.

Fur Fox Sake2 votesThe current splash fails to represent her true character. She's supposed to be seductive and beautiful.. "charming" you in but the current Ahri looks like she is sad and tired or about to cry. Not to mention they changed the facial structure of the Ahri I came to love in Season 3-4's splash giving her a massive bulging chin (Her square icon of her face on the bottom left in game looks derpy) and also I'm not a fan of messy looking hair. I missed it's long black sleek straightness. I find this art not suiting for Ahri's personality. She's supposed to look more fun and sexy. The link Keevalroy put is an excellent version of how Ahri is supposed to even look like since he is the original creator of her appearance. I will never like this splash for Ahri because while it's "nice" quality it doesn't suit her well.
EvilRabbitt2 votesConsensus: She seems board, her chin needs fixing, and she needs to be less angular.
Alright then, thats my answer. Now if only I could show the art team this (and provide funding) so they could change it. =/ Thanks for your time all =). I gotta know, does anyone remember her bell? Because I do, I miss it, and I can't find it. Is it like the thing with Graves Cigar(removed)?
Keagn1 votesHer base splash art? I like it too. But not everyone will be happy, unfortunately.
EvilRabbitt1 votes=( I want to commend the artists who made it. It is extremely well done imo.
Unlike Katarina. I'm not sure how that splash got out, but arts subjective and some people like it. I really really really don't want only one of my main mids (ahri/kat since early s4, before the hype train...defending because playerbase) to get good art, and the other not to. It personally deters me from picking them as often.
sealust1 votesThe artist tried to change Ahri's eyes to make her look more 'Asian' but it ended up looking worse then the original re-do.
overall there is *no *personality in the splash: a let down after what we saw of her in "A New Dawn"

She had blue eyes, one tail, odd proportions, and didn't behave anything like how she is portrayed in her lore, and even her quotes. I'm actually glad she didn't resemble the cinematic version, but at the same time, I agree, the new splash could have been so much more.
sealust2 votesOh, no no, I wasn't referring to her visual aspect in "A New Dawn", rather the personality she showed in it. Overall I didn't liker her model in it, in so, I agree with you. (I should have been a little more specific sorry)
The cinematic, i feel, actually gave her a personality beyond the cliche as fuck fall back of playful seductress. Rather, what she would be like as someone who is a little more 'human' and has formed relationships and developed a bit further a long in her story. /shrug
Keevalroy1 votesAh, I see. Sorry about the confusion.
EvilRabbitt1 votesI do agree it can be better =). I was just not sure why people hated the whole thing. I tried to make a discussion a while back on what we would change, but they pushed the art out twice and I don't think they will do it again. Not even if we all bought every Ahri Skin (something I can't do because I missed her Dauntless =(.... I'm so sad about thats its just amazing). Thanks for the thoughts =).
Primadonna1 votesI love the background and pose, the face is just what bothers me. Well, used to bother me. I've grown used to it. She just looks a bit bored, and her chin is too angular.
