I am not the artist but I've never seen a skin concept this good and I just think it is beautiful with the potential to become a real skin.

This is great, but riot doesn't want to share profits because of copy rights and shit.

JasiwelFeb 14, 20167 votes

It's more about Intellectual Property Rights and the fact that direct pulls from featured artists not commissioned (or contracted) by Riot are simply a legal liability. Understand, Riot could probably split the profits fine, but there is a lot of legal jargon that wouldn't exactly be the best usage of time for either party. On top of that, Riot's artists love to put spins on fan creations and interpret them into something more in line with the game's actual style.

Riot can only take hints from what we suggest and use it as inspiration for new content.

This concept is super awesome though and I hope the artist is well-employed or on their way to it! Vegacolors is a great concept artist; I remember when he/she posted back in General Discussion years ago. Definitely some truly neat stuff.

But shouldn't we all decline taking profits in order to enable them to use our ideas? I mean seriously, who cares that much about the money than that the idea is Yours and made it in one of the best games ever made.

The process is definitely not that simple. It takes lawyers, court dates, and hearings to successfully accomplish that simple of a solution. Riot would have a better time hiring or contracting the individual in question.

As others have said, there are a lot of concepts that are posted on the Boards that Riot has spun into a similar, refined concept for the game by its own developers. Most of the time, that's the best way to go about it because everyone feels accomplished without bringing in lawyers.

So basically by offering awesome ideas we literally kill it's chances of ever being created? GODDAMNIT! I HATE THIS WORLD!

JasiwelFeb 15, 20161 votes

Well, only being created EXACTLY as it is seen first. As I said, Riot Artists love putting their personal touches on fan concepts and it's marvelous every time. For example, Gravelord Azir looks wickedly awesome and improved everything that original concept from the community suggested. That's simply the fantastic nature of art, the impact of inspiration, and the collaboration of great artists.

Fingers crossed then.

Riot doesn't listen to skin concepts no matter how good they are. They don't want to take any chances and create copyright issues. Nevertheless, the concept looks really nice.

MoonshadeFeb 14, 20167 votes

They've done some spin offs on Community creations, like Void Fizz was a fan concept originally

Count ZubatFeb 14, 20163 votes

Gentleman Cho'Gath was also suggested by fans.

Suprise Party Fiddlesticks,Void Fizz and Battle Bunny for example were fanart skins

hells bells XVFeb 15, 20161 votes

umm, bloodmoon yasuo and kennen were fan made skins for a long time

La BarbotteFeb 14, 20163 votes

but elderwood bard look like the fat dudde from ori and the blind forest so shed have to look like ori to match the concept (i know because hecarim that doesnt make sense but fuck it)

its kindred head i find out of place in this skin. that weird FF1 black mage face just doesnt seem to fit as a replacment for the tribalish mask she usually wears

In the art it has the head with toggle above it. Im guessing its like Night Hunter Rengar and Neon Strike Vi where if you taunt or make a joke, it puts something on there face(With NH Rengar its the hood and with NS Vi its the goggles). I bet if you do taunt or make a joke, it will put on that fox mask, or keep it off if you like.

It's got a toggle like Rengar's skin. So if you see the other mask next to it that says "toggle", you could choose between the two when playing. Pretty cool!

This would be such a nice skin to add to the Elderwood skin line... Too bad it most likely won't be implemented into the game.

RendarkanFeb 14, 20161 votes

The Elderwood Kindred has resurfaced again... impressive.

The other idea that was thought of by fans was Red Riding Kindred.

Its that fox mask.

rtbf225618241Feb 15, 20161 votes

That's not really fitting.

That's not really fitting.

The masks changed between Kindred and Shadowfire Kindred, so i dont get how its not fitting..

hells bells XVFeb 15, 20161 votes

wolf doesn't even have a mask in that skin lol

rtbf225618241Feb 16, 20161 votes

Well they can change but i guess they should retain their identities.

Filthy WookFeb 15, 20161 votes

I would want them to change the theme to winter for kindred's elderwood skin :P cause death and cold kinda go together, and i think it would look really pretty
