I am a lux main and i am beyond hyped for this skin , but something that bothers me is the artstyle used for Elementalist Luxes in game icons and i assume splash , they are too cartoony and lets admit some of them are really ugly. I was content with this because it wasnt a big part of the skin, but now ive seen the animated splash art for the login theme.... I was speechless , left in awe. It was truly beautiful and amazing. Which is why i am now upset about the way they made her ingame icons and hopefully not splash art cartoony and kinda ugly ( It looks a lot like Star Garudian Lux and the SG skin needed to look cartoony since it was based off of an anime type). Which is why i dont like this art style and i hope they change it before the release even though i doubt they will do it..... And the the icon artstyle doesnt match the Elemental forms personality a lot of the time ...... Look a Magma Luxes deep and mildy scary voice with the icon looking like SG lux from the Music video ... Idk it just bothers me , it seems everything bothers me these days. I would also like to hear your opinions on the matter, do you think they should change the icons to something more like the login splash or do you perfer the weird triagle looking faces and heads?

Also the ice and air/storm hairstyles look kinda .... meh...... couldve been better.

The art used in the login is NOT the splash art thats going to be used. In fact, she won't even have 10 different splashes (apparently, Riot is doing something special for the splash art). So, we have reason to believe that the in game icons are separate, and will only be used in game.

Art in the login is just that. Art made & animated specifically for the login. They likely did the login in a more realistic & elegant style to synchronize with the tone of the music. And it's not the 1st time there have been art made specifically for the login.

League's splash arts always had this stylized look. While the Elem. Lux login art is absolutely beautiful, you shouldn't expect the splash art to be like that. The login art is too realistic for a League splash art. It's the same reason why some of the Chinese splashes that were well done received criticism. Even though some of them were quite well done & not "Anime gone to far", they didn't match the general style for the rest of League's splash art.
