Concept art for a League of Legends yordle thief champion
I'm still practicing coloring and stuff, but I just wanted to see if the idea itself has any traction amongst League players.
She's my CCC Imoen, An Honest Thief. She's intended to be League's premier Support / Marksman, and wields a giant magical key as her 'firearm'.
I intentionally wanted to avoid the cloak-and-dagger black leather-clad thief archetype, and subvert it in a way. First off, she's a child by yordle standards, being only 100~ years old. Rather than being melee, she's ranged, and she has a very playful and free spirit, kinda like a mix between Braum and Lulu. She has necklaces woven into her hair, and ear-rings and bracelet and all sorts of gems and jewels in her bags and pockets (which I consider to be bags of holding and pockets of plenty!) Her over-sized cloak, for example, is reminiscent of a kid wrapping a blanket around their shoulders when playing make believe, but all these things hopefully serve to illustrate her attitude toward thievery.
Imoen doesn't steal because she needs to, or because she's greedy, but because it's fun for her! It's like a game of hide-and-seek plus tag! She wears bright and colorful clothing and a gawdy amount of accessories because they give her heists more challenge!
