Heartseeker Fiora Concept (art!)

RiotRiot Hylia·1/5/2015, 11:08:23 PM·52 votes·19,596 views

Hey everybody! Hope the new year is treating you well so far. I've had this in my brain for a while and finally got around to drawing it out! All I have at the moment is a pretty rough topdown concept and flat colored turnarounds for modeling purposes, but I'd like to make a fully rendered front concept eventually! I think Fiora could really take the "Queen of Hearts", Wonderlandesque themes introduced with Heartseeker Ashe and run with them. I think the aesthetic suits her character really well. Hopefully the images actually embed wish me luck

I'm trying to stick thematically with what was introduced with Heartseeker Ashe, but I wanted to introduce some Cupid elements to the design as well. I thought it'd be cool for her cape to resemble a feathered wing, but it could just as easily be changed to a more fancy, royal purple design. I think Fiora's main-gauche is an awesome opportunity for skins that hasn't really been utilized yet, especially because she doesn't actually use it in her skill animations. I like the idea of it being a bouquet of roses that she can make use of in her recall animation! In my head right now she tosses it into the air before slicing it in half and standing in the rain of petals afterwards. Hope you guys like it!

This is a really sweet idea, and beautifully done!

She does bear a striking resemblance to Heartseeker Ashe, and you had mentioned her as the Queen of Hearts, so might I suggest sliding her more to the Alice in Wonderland Vibe? She'd look awesome with Annie in Wonderland, IMO. :D

This is a great idea, especially for someone like Fiora. Plus she is technically a carry-champ. If not, it could work as a royal queen fiora skin.

Kinda get a Queen of Heats vibe.

Feels like it would be complete with a Mad Moxy style heart tattoo on the cheek..

I wholly disapprove of all Heartseeker skins until Pantheon gets one (his E is literally named "Heartseeker Strike")

Love it because it's Fiora

This is a very awesome concept. Your use of colors is also superb.

Omg this is so beautiful and you have a real talent for designing skins like this. I personally am a fan of the Heartseeker/Debonair skin line and sadly I don't play Vayne well or else I'd have hers too, but this would cause me to learn Fiora just for this skin... Seriously, wonderful job and beautiful concept, it fits her sassy French lady look very well imo :D

Beautiful design Tom, as always. I think my favorite part is that it doesn't take the NOTHING BUT PINK AND RED heartseaker palette and run with it, but lends a more royal aesthetic with the richer purple, though it does almost lean more towards wonderland than heartseaker. But that versatility between the two theme is really cool. I would love to see Fiora as a heartseeker champ (though I HATE HER GUTS (and I'm never 1v1ing you when you have Fiora ever again)). I mean she definitely has a very significantly French accent, and French is the language of love, after all, oui?

not a fan of heart seeker line, so i rather riot not even bother with those skins anymore.

The back side of the fio art needs seem red around the but region. The purple skirt bleeds right into the leggings making it look a little werid. Take the red from the front and warp it all around and shorten the white pleating in back so the purple of the skirt will still be there

Don't need a skin for Fiora. The last thing I need is her top lane shredding through my damn tank and doing it fashionably too. Screw this champ.

Awesome work!

With her Q, it really is a very fitting theme for her.

Although she seeks hearts for other reasons then "cupid" type reasons.

Needs more vibrant reds, maybe give her blood red hair, and make her sword an oversized (love)letter opener, then I would instabuy.

DwainTheRock1/6/2015, 6:22:26 AM1 votes

Its beautiful... But she needs a bow to be a heart seeker concept, right?

Gapybo1/6/2015, 10:52:01 AM1 votes

It's a nice idea but I honestly wouldn't want that to be her next skin. The last one she got was silly and I want a more serious skin to be next. This can come after though.

Personally i hate dying to fiora enough with her hideous accent, but now that she looks all dapor and stuff just would seriously piss me off to die to. so thats a no from me.

Nice design! Especially like the cape. I think the Heartseeker line is just for ADCs though. Nevertheless, it's a pretty sweet concept! Adding to the roses idea, I think it would be great if her joke was to pretend to draw her sword in a threatening manner but then pull out a bouquet of roses instead, kind of like Debonair Jayce.
