Eldritch Skin Line concept
I was sitting here thinking about the different concepts in League of legends that could give way to some Lovecraftian style "Eldritch Horror" skins and thought I'd see what other people thought on the idea. So far here are the thoughts I have...
Elder God Vel'Koz A possibly Legendary or Ultimate skin to kick off/round up the line, sort of like Final Boss Veigar, Star Guardian Lux, or Mecha Zero Soon. Vel lends his style heavily to the style of lovecraft in the first place, seeing him turned into some godlike creature would be interesting.
Elder Priestess Illaoi It's a little bit of a stretch to bring her in here cause she already essentially serves an Elder God. However, if we were to base this concept on the idea of a Legendary/Ultimate Vel'Koz skin, there could be cool effects such as tentacles that look like the Vel Skin's.
Elder Priest Malzahar His champion concept involved peaking in the door to the void and becoming mad possessed by it. Imagine instead now he has been in the maddening presence of an elder God, and has been turned into a fanatic of his new deity, with some possible effects such as creating a sort of tentacle that acts as a tether when he ults.
Eldritch Horror Urgot Urgot is all about gross, horrific body horror that can often times unnerve you. It would also make sense to give him a skin. Imagine an amalgation of tentacles and horrific insectoid legs firing blasts at you.
I'm trying to stay more focused on the skins culminating with the Elder God Vel. Though other champions can fit, I sort of want to stay away from those in which either they already have a skin with similar themes (Like Darkstar), as well as champions that are already sort of Eldritch Horrors (Cho'Gath). I wanted to focus on the ideas of Tentacles, Madness, and Horror that appear in champions for this sort of idea.
The main issue for this line is the fact that the void itself is somewhat Lovecraftian, but at the same time it's not. The Void is a very separate idea but borrows many themes, such as creatures beyond our dimension taking twisted shapes as they enter here. The main flavor distinction here is the void is very insectile, from the grublike qualities of Kog to the straight up insects like Kha. Meanwhile Lovecraft in most of its depictions focused on writhing masses of flesh and tentacles.
Anyone have other ideas for visuals, other champions that could fit into this idea somehow, or even fanart you've seen previously?
