I love these splashes, especially Lissandra.

The artist de-aged Camille which is unfortunate. No skin makes MF 30 years older nor Illaoi any less butch.

Lissandra is supposedly centuries old and look at her in here ...

I dont think it's infortunate , wasn't camille already known for keeping her good looks despite her age with her hextech ? well she does even more with witch magic apparently

Whyte LyonNov 8, 20181 votes

Geesh, it was just an observation not a criticism on your waifu.

Lissandra isnt defined by her age on a visual level like it actually is on Camille. Irregardless, the details of lore doesn't really have an argument in this case. Yet Camille's core motif is an extremely fit, middle-aged, matriarch/spy. The artist and by proxy Riot, couldn't have applied all of the three visual aesthetics?

SukishooNov 8, 20182 votes

She doesn't really look old in her base splash for being 70-80 (whatever it was). So I don't really see the "de-aging"

Camille doesn't look old in classic or program...

Whyte LyonNov 9, 20181 votes

Buddy, I'm the only other person in this comment chain who hasn't explicitly described Camille as if she's "old".

What made you think I needed the reminding that she isn't visually old, when I had described her myself as "middle-aged".

its a skin, its an alternate universe. :/

Whyte LyonNov 9, 20181 votes

Not wrong by any means, and thanks for the little attempt to set me straight. I' am painfully aware already, but insist on being obvious at your own pleasure.

Although I'm curious if Riot isn't conscience of such a thing, would they ever bother to make a character physically decades older than their base is? Hasn't happened yet...

Young ryze btw.

Whyte LyonNov 10, 20181 votes

Plonk he's not 30+ years younger, he's just at an apparent earlier point. Like base Ryze doesn't even show his age, he stopped at 40 something while Young Ryze is in-around 30. While base Camille looks 60 and to reach this skin's age it's taken off 35-40 years.

Original SinNov 10, 20181 votes

So? Base skins age isn't indicative of any future skins age. This skin is really gorgeous. Love it so much. Has to be one of the best skins in the game along with the leona and lissandra skins.

Whyte LyonNov 10, 20181 votes

Skins aren't indicative of "age" at all. But if Riot actually pertained to that why haven't we ever had like a Coffin-pusher Ahri skin? Where's the Babyface Zilean skin? The Dad-bod Braum skin?

Also I haven't been criticizing the actual skin, so your not required to try defending why you think it looks gorgeous. I simply made an observation, that people took too much of an offense towards, and since defended said observation as best I can.

Again, it's unfortunate the artist de-aged Camille.

Honestly, it would be interesting if Elderwood had interactions with Coven as I can see this being the darker side of the fantasy.

SukishooNov 8, 20181 votes

It'd be cool if they did, but we can always imagine it ;) I did see a kind of similarity in theme with the way the splashes are.

kneel on IceNov 8, 20182 votes

Coven looks like a mix of Elderwood/ravenborn/Bewitched skins

which is so good cause it adds diversity the effects , instead of having plants/ravens/magic for all spells , in coven Liss there are flowers for recall thorns for w+r , ravens for E and recall and death animation , magic in her E and self R , sword in her Q

i think skins should be more like this than the uni-themed where you have almost same effects for everything

Probably not, since they're Halloween themed skins.

You're in luck. If you listen to the Eclipse Leona VO, she links not only the Elderwood with the Coven skin lines, she also links the Death Blossom and Emerald Taric with them too. They're all in the same universe. Plus, she tells the Dark Omen skins that her mother used to tell her their tales as bedtime stories, which can also link them to the same world.

ModRowanstarNov 12, 20181 votes

thats odd. None of these skins have anything in common. Coven (witches), Eclipse (sun/moon), Emerald Taric (gems) and Elderwood (plants). There is no common theme here. Unlike Project, Infernal etc.

Coven is about witches in a dark forest trying to revive their dark god again. The Eclipse Leona isn't about the Sun and the Moon, she's a Templar empowered by whichever celestial body to fight evil in the world and stop the rise of dark gods. Emerald Taric, through the Leona VO, is now confirmed to be Taric from the Emerald Chapel, which is some kind of forest monastery. And the Elderwood refers to the Elderwood, a magical forest. How on this earth do you not see how this all fits into the same medieval style high fantasy setting?

ModRowanstarNov 13, 20181 votes

Leona is literally SOLAR eclipse and LUNAR eclipse (the sun and moon). Normally Universes all have a similar theme. Emerald Taric may be mentioned but he has nothing in common with the styles of the other skins. Look at how Odyssey or Battlecast all look alike. Emerald Taric, Leona and Coven dont even share looks.

Except your opinion doesn't matter because Eclipse Leona DOES confirm they are in the same universe. And Leona is a Templar, first and foremost, empowered by the sun or moon. It's not a sun/moon themed skin, it's a Templar themed skin with a twist based on which celestial body she worships. And the universe DOES have a similar theme, they're all medieval themed skins set in a world of fairies, dark gods, witches, and Templars. Of course they're not all going to look exactly alike since they're all parts of a unique world, it would be silly for them all to look the same when they encompass so many different parts of a world. PROJECT and Program are part of the same universe, and they look vastly different.

ModRowanstarNov 13, 20181 votes

Project and Program are both tech skins. Also even if those skins are all in the same universe, Leona IS a sun/moon themed skin with medieval accents as well. Her skin name is SOLAR ECLIPSE. How is that not sun themed? Solar=sun

These skins, despite their name, paint her as a Templar for her respective celestial body. It's not like Cosmic Ashe, that's distinctly based on space and cosmos, or Dragon Tamer Tristana, that's based on a girl taming dragons. Leona is a knight in the service of her church that is empowered by the Sun or Moon. It's more of a theatrical naming than an actual theme name.

That makes sense. It is really cool how League creates these alternate universes and stories. I love it.

The design team really did that. The aesthetic is perfect.

Camille's splash art is especially beautiful and reminds me of an awakened being from the Claymore series.

NylisaNov 8, 20182 votes

these splashes are outstanding but there is just one criticism i have. i wish they would have used a slightly different color settings. Death sworn and darkstar and couple of others also use this settings, so a slightly different choices would be better.

Ok! Hello everyone! I absolutely love these skins and the amazing work that has gone into them

Coven Lissandra's model is in my opinion the best given to her over her base and all of her other skins BUT on the flip side, I want the amazing concept to be fleshed out to the best of its potential and not held back! ESPECIALLY BY SMALL THINGS <3

THAT'S WHY I'm saying that I feel like Coven Lissandra's abilities could you a little bit more visual clarity and contrast in texturing. The main thing that i feel that even needs this is just the w and r ground effects!

On an smaller side note, it would be amazing if the w stun ice/ thorns that surrounds the enemy could be a bit nicer and more modern in effects quality!

SO MUCH FOR RIOTS HARD WORK! YALL HAVE BE GOING HARD LATELY AND K/DA JUST MURDERED THE GAME! THEN WE GET THIS!? SO AMAZING!
