Just wanted to give a little artistic feedback on Firecracker Jinx.

I really like the concept of the skin but I feel like the colors really clash. The golds on the guns aren't the same yellow and that green streak in her hair really clashes with the rest of the outfit, and the red and green makes it feel more like a christmas skin than a chinese new year one. Also because her hair and her outfit are so flat, it feels a bit simple from a silhouette perspective. I really hope the skin gets some love because its a great concept but it just feels kind of tacky / clashing right now.

The guns are purposefully a different solor, like Dragon7350 said, so you can clearly tell which gun you're using. With that being said, The mini-gun was not meant to be gold. It is a copper-based alloy, aged with a layer of patina and a large amount of flame discoloration.

We wanted to keep some of who Jinx is, which in part, is the crazy hair color. Blue didn't look great with it, so we went with green, since she's got green accents on her clothes, as well as on her Zap! gun.

You'll notice the red dress has a little bit of detail on it, but it's not a lot. We actually tried bumping up the contrast on the pattern, but it ended up looking shimmery, and pretty awkward from an in game perspective.

Hope that clears things up a bit!

A lot of what characterizes Jinx's crazy personality are the bullet tattoos she has on her classic skin. You'll notice, though, that her Mafia skin (as well as this one) lacks tattoos. I always assumed that each of Jinx's skins would have tattoos based on the overall theme of the skin, and the lack of tattoos in her Mafia skin was intended for the "flapper" design.

I see now, however, that Jinx seems to be lacking tattoos in all of her skins, regardless of the overall theme. This kind of takes away a lot of what was intended to make Jinx Jinx, the Loose Cannon.

I, personally, saw this skin as the perfect opportunity to add dragon-style tattoos to the visible parts of Jinx's arms and legs. Why wasn't this opportunity taken? Adding green coloring in the form of tattoos in her arms and legs would even help balance out the green color in her clothes and hair, making it fit much more fluently than it does now.

The tattoos are feedback that's been brought up (based on a lot of jade dragon tattoo comments on the PBE), and we're currently discussing it!

The skin stills looks great, though. Thanks for letting me know that it is being discussed!

Forgive me if I do not understand if it creates a difficult process, but I think the dress could use a little more detail in gold embroidery designs. It doesn't have to be on the level you see Chinese dresses have but a little more would be nice. Otherwise, her dress looks flat and plain. And we all know this is not Jinx who loves to stand out with a bang!

Why does the green clash with the rest of the outfit? Red and green compliment each other and green is really close to yellow, it all matches and flows together.

Given the pictures: I agree the colors don't seem balanced. The red and green gives me more of a Chinese vibe than a Christmas one though

I think the guns are different colors on purpose so people can tell which mode they are using. The off-green is kinda weird though, so maybe they could use a neutral color for the minigun (like silver?)

I like the skin, the splash art is barf worthy though :/

So, Jinx is the reason I started playing this game. And I have been eagerly awaiting her first new skin.

JACKPOT! Love the dress.

I like the idea of a themed tattoo. If you can make that happen, that would be awesome.

On abilities, If it were me, I would have the SMDR be a dragon or Qilin streaking across the map that then explodes into a huge mass of fireworks! That would be cool. Even if you can't do that, then at lerast increase the amount of SMDR fireworks to like, 2x more than current. Its supposed to be a SUPER MEGA DEATH ROCKET! Not a parking lot bottle rocket. Make it impressive, like Gandalf fireworks impressive!

In any case, I'll still buy it. Thx for awesomeness!

I love the skin. But I'm not happy with the hair style, especially with the green color.

I tried these two other colors? What do you think?

However, I think she could go a different hair style, other than this one with two super long pony tails.

Ignore the improper masks, I was too lazy

And the red pink.

I don't really feel like the skin is malicious enough. like her smile is kinda twisted but i feel there needs to be a little deviance even for a Chinese theme. I like blossoms idea of doing it through the hair. https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=HN.608056288804864995&pid=15.1&P=0 but with jinx flair or something like that...NEEDS MORE TUDE...

Yeah, totally. It could go a full light peach orange with hair similar to the one in your pic.

A solution to the Morgana boob issue is to have one of the skins like the original, with big boobs. That way all types are available for the players.
