Community! Tell me your skin ideas.
Yup! I know there's a lot of individual threads with suggestions. However..
I'm looking to doodle some skins in my spare time. I know there's a TON of great community concepts out there. Some are serious, some are silly. I'm interested in what's floating around. Got any suggestions? I know there's individual threads, but sometimes it's hard to skim through them all D:
TO CLARIFY! Ideas floated have no guarantee of actually happening. I'm just overall curious to see what shows up in this thread and what rises to the top, as well as maybe messing around with some ideas on my spare time.
Some pro-tips:
-
While trolly ideas are great, but think of things that would really appeal to a wide variety of players. "Cool" is a subjective term, but ideate on things that would feel great on existing characters and would really add something special and appealing.
-
Think globally! That's an important aspect of skin development. While NA is where a lot of us on these forums live, we want to show love to the entire world! How cool were the Warring Kingdom skins? Wasn't River Spirit Nami gorgeous? Those are ideas inspired from cultures from around the world. If you are thinking of ideas that are more NA/EU derived, think of things that still appeal to the rest of the planet. Pool party skins are great examples. Everyone loves a pool party!
-
Preserve the character. While Eternum Lux might be a neat looking idea, does that fit Lux's personality or core character? Is it complementary or does it distract? Additionally, preserve the characters graphic reads. You probably don't want to change the size of Draven's blades too much, or make Jarvan's lance really skinny. You probably don't want to give a character that doesn't have a helmet something that blocks the face too much.
Anyways, give it some thought! I'd love to see what the cream of the crop ideas of the community are!
And as always...
Kerrigan Zyra/ Elise
Deep Sea Nami
Soul Reaver Talon
Poro Master Syndra, Ice Queen Syndra, Dodgeball Syndra
Solar Eclipse Diana/Leona
a Surprise party twitch skin is perfect for him
(just started this one last night so it's still pretty rough. Wanted to emulate the silhouette of a gown but with a functional breastplate, cuirass and pauldrons. I think it suits her Character really well, very aristocratic, high society. It could function like Neon Strike Vi where the mask is toggled on and off! I could see other Demacian nobility with skins in this theme, like Vayne, Lux, Garen, Jarvan...)
(again, just lines and flats but you get the jist)
( I liked the idea of the dark magic that corrupted her appearance manifesting as feathers and beginning to show in her hands where the magic is focused and working it's way up her arms to her shoulders, where you can see it begin to creep into her skin.)
doodle!
Maybe a Blood Moon Kennen skin, just one like Akali (Blood Moon Akali) and Shen (Blood Moon Shen) have. They are three friendly flippin' ninjas, so why wouldn't all three of them have a Blood Moon skin?
"Beach Resort" But same principle
Arclight Thresh
Boom Boom Vi ( Similar to Boom Boom Blitzcrank)
Arcade Lux
Reverse Gnar
Dudyr anyone? I saw someone mention
"Bro"um a few days ago as well, which would fit really well - Braum's shield made out of Graggy Ice boxes, he tosses Beer Cans instead of ice. And I mean, the puns just set themselves up.

Orianna is in dire need of some skins. She has only 4 total, Gothic and Sewn Chaos being her launch skins, Bladecraft in 2012, and the limited TPA one, which was only a 750 skin. With all the potential for her skins, some amazing suggestions have come out. One of the best ones being Rococo Orianna, seen
