A different Mordekaiser
Mordekaiser is pretty old, he's been around a long time and I recently started playing him and found him quite enjoyable, but his old model and pizza feet got me thinking about an entirely different visual take of Mordekaiser.
Let me also just state that I wanted to come up with a VU idea for Mordekaiser when his models eventually get updated and that I wanted the update to be purely visual without affecting the lore, but actually enhancing his archetype.
We've all come to know Morde as a huge, bulky suit of armor, slow, strong and ruthless. I however wanted to get more into the tortured and twisted mind of Mordekaiser's lore and started visualizing him as a thin, tall, lanky suit of thorned metal armor, with Nightfall being a huge mace that he dragged around instead of carrying it.
I drew up some concepts and tried to convey his tortured and tired mind, while still keeping the fear-invoking nightmarish vision of him alive.
What I eventually drew up was very similar to concepts of Artorias the Abysswalker from "Dark Souls" and Guts, the Black Swordsman from "Berserk"

This version of Mordekaiser is just as evil, ruthless, fear-invoking, but conveys a sense of his twisted-ness, how he has become tortured by his inability to die. You might be wondering, "Then why would Mordekaiser be so slow in-game if his new body is thin and lightweight" The answer is that he doesn't need to be fast, the fact that he walks nonchalantly to his target, while dragging nightfall around makes him look like he doesn't care when he gets there, because he knows that WHEN he gets there, it's gonna be an absolute stomp.
I feel that this idea of a VU really enhances his aspects as the Master of Metal, while bringing to light an even darker side of his mind.
But you may not feel the same way, so please vote down here! I hope daddy Malicious Metal sees me!
