ORIGINAL SKIN: SNOWMAN ZAC (Winter skin)

neonstrobelights··71 votes·12,535 views

Here's a skin that has been on my mind for a while. Hopefully a Rioter sees this and makes it happen. Most of the effects are written on the picture. (File is attached)

Feedback is appreciated! Please share and spread this!

Also, if you like what you see, I have a couple Winter Jinx skins scrapped on my desk that I could make. If this gets enough up votes, I'll go forth and draw that out too.

FINAL EDIT I've looked at all the comments I have received so far and decided to put the ones I liked the best in this redesign! I hope you like it people!

So. Adorable. You bet I'll be sending this around the office tomorrow when I get in to work. :D (thanks for the Twitter callout!!)

Oh, and let's see those Jinx ideas!!

Why is this not fixed yet? It has been weeks.


"attempting to reconnect forever" bug. Small 1-2 second lagspike with zero packet loss forces the "attempting to reconnect" message (this would not have happened before 4.17). This message never goes away, even though my lag was gone before it even popped up. It's too bad this wasn’t fixed in 4.18. All 4.18 seems to have fixed is the loading-screen bugsplats afterward, but I’ll still disconnect from the game from even the smallest lagspike and be forced to close it and reopen it. People are STILL getting leaverbusted for it. Thousands of people.

Hey there,

Thanks for the report. This isn't the place for bug reports, though. Please post this on this board.

My reply got deleted? I don't see a <deleted> though...

I hope you guys fix this anyway. Ruining ranked games right up to the end of season is fun and all (because I get to report the ragers), but, it would be nice to actually play the game, too.

Oh my goodness I'm absolutely overwhelmed right now... Thank you thank you! For all the other people and their feedback, I'll be making a final snowman zac concept with all the suggestions and the jinx skin later today!

If you have Twitter, gimme a shoutout with a link to the final concept! @RiotBaconhawk

That's awesome but can he also be wrapped in multi colored lights?

The only thing that puts me off of Zac's design is he's so monochromatic. I mean it makes sense thematically, I can't deny that, and I don't think his base model should change but a skin with more color would be cool.

neonstrobelights2 votes

I do like this idea. I'll be changing some things to this concept later (including the lights) later during the day.

MunchMeister4 votes

If Zac ults, he should stack like a snowman! Each time he lands, he adds 1 more snowball to himself when he jumps. By the end he has 3 snowballs stacked and they reform into his body.

Maybe his W can release an explosive string of christmas lights in a circle.

It's been a long time since I've been behind a skin.

This is amazing.

BlazingSalvo2 votes

Oh god... and his E is like a giant snowball launcher.

PickleBabah2 votes

I sort of think this is related in the sense that Christmas is sort of thought of in the same time that snow comes for most people, so I have an idea: Gingerbread / Bad Santa Thresh

Model: Thresh in Santa's robe, with a big-ol'-hat that doesn't really fit most of his head, a candy cane for his hook, a gingerbread house for his lantern. Passive: Spectral projections of a gingerbread Teemo Q: a peppermint stick, or candy cane. W:a gingerbread house, a spectral projection of a candy-cane Teemo would be inside the lantern. E: 10 Reindeers run along the outline of the flay. R: Gingerbread walls.

Quote Ideas: Joke: Not sure if I'm the ghost of Christmas Past, Present, of Future. (in reference to *A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens * Santa Claus, like Santa C-L-A-W-S

Taunt: Santa Claus is coming to town. And that's not a good thing.

neonstrobelights2 votes

Excellent idea! Would it just be plain old thresh in a Santa Robe?

PickleBabah1 votes

Maybe a different color, either the little ghostly part, or the actual "body". I know this is asking for a lot, but is it possible that you make this idea?

neonstrobelights1 votes

If I have time. About 40% chance this weekend. I'll try my best to notify you if it happens.

PickleBabah1 votes

Thanks!

On topic: The name of the man could be The Abominable Snowblob or something like that. Whenever he uses a skill or attacks, a bunch of snow flies around. If his E kills somebody, the champion who was killed gets buried in snow, and snow is left on them. Whenever he has more than 700 movement speed (or whatever amount is required to have a different walk animation) he rolls instead of walking.

PickleBabah1 votes

Thanks dude! I really like the idea of it :3 Also, for some reason, I never thought of having the lantern be Santa's bag of toys. Could you make a 3D model?

Sure, why not! Snowman Zac!

This is awsome

So technically, Zac in white now. Cool :D

DNAgent1 votes

I'm pretty sure Riot could actually make something like this except for the scarf, pipe, and carrot nose. Zac's skins will all be palette swaps at best.

Love it.

white zac ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I like it.

TwoD1 votes

Why not just give him the circular snowman head, I mean it's Zac and they're always saying that it's difficult to make skins for Zac because it will look just like the original model. Since that seems to be the problem they should just make his face and the shape of his head just as a scary snowman would be instead of same Zac head.

I love the idea! As a Zac player (we are few and far in between), I wish there were more skins for the green guy. I mean, the purple recoloration that is "Secret Weapon" is not to my taste.

Also, if u have the time (or read this comment at all) I would love to see "Tuxedo Zac". I like his original green skin, so if you could leave it and just add a tuxedo (and maybe sunglasses), it would be awesome. I've tried drawing it myself, but Ill be honest, it looks like crap. I can't draw. anyone who sees this comment, feel free to give the skin a try.

Oh, wtf. I thought that this was MY idea.

Yay a good idea for one of my favorite champs Zac

One thing, man. Yellow eyes are a no in my mind. Maybe red.

In before jokes about yellow snow.

That's really awesome, I'd enjoy watching a snowman Zac hopping around the rift like he just don't give a F**K!!

SpartanJanitor1 votes

I like it. It works with how he is animated as well as his overall composition. I don't particularly like the concept of leaving his face as is though...

Funkadełic1 votes

I would totally buy this during snowdown

If Rito makes this, I'm buying Zac and the skin.

This is not original, I posted this skin a while ago

If you made a snowman zac concept earlier I'm sorry I offended you. Truth is I made this picture myself and wasn't intending to "copy" anybody. And If you are saying my picture isn't the original, i can confirm I spent about 8 hours and the link to my deviant is in the bottom

nonamewarrior2 votes

It's fine, I'm sure you spent a long time designing that and bringing the idea to life. You didn't copy me, it just isn't "original" like the title says. Again, love how it looks, but maybe remove "Original Concept"

Frampt2 votes

Just because you thought of the idea for it doesn't mean you own it bro. Quit acting like you're entitled to something.

nonamewarrior1 votes

Sorry, dude. I didn't mean to offend you. I don't feel entitled. In fact, I'm pretty sure somebody thought of the idea before me, but I never heard from them. I'm just saying that "Original Skin" is a disclaimer. I don't want any credit, but I think "Original Skin" should be removed
