The skin looks very nice, but I was kinda disappointed to find out that her clothes are pink instead of red like the other Blood Moon skins, can we make her match everyone else?

It seems so much more "Order of the pink lotus", especially with that recall.

It looks cool but thematically, it's the black sheep of the group. Also called "BLOOD"moon, blood ain't pink.

I thought it was a Heartseeker skin, at first.

I like the skimpy kunoichi visual. The color pink, even if it's a blood moon skin, makes more sense. Thematically, the red color in blood moon is linked to combat, blood, and oriental visuals (oni.).

Being elise a seductive spider lady (black widow), a more chaming and seductive color is more apropriate. So you get the skimpy visual (courtesan) with a light purple.

I think more red would be better, not necessarily change it to the same shade as all the other skins.

That's a common misconception, the blood is red inside or outside. Remember, blood carries OXYGEN (and other nutrients) to the cells of the body and that's its primary function. Blood appears blue on your veins because deoxygenated blood is darker red (but not really "blue") and it looks that way under the pigments of your own skin.

Look it up if you want. :)

http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2010/09/01/is-blood-ever-blue-science-tea-2/ that's not at all true, you can find plenty of sources that would dispute it this is just the first from a google search. Your veins are sometimes blue, the blood in them is not.

Riot has already stated that the Blood Moon theme can (and will) be interpreted differently depending on the background of any given champion / culture / region within Runeterra.

Kalista is apparently the origin of this theme and since so much time has passed since it's creation, the various cultures in Runeterra have had the time to morph the legend into different versions of the original visual.

Oh mah gah, I want to play Elsie again.

Though I have to admit, the first time I saw this, I thought it was gonna be an Irelia skin.

To be honest, it looks more purple to me, and even though it is still some shade of red, it still isn't red.

I do think it looks cool though, and I feel like the purplish color of the skin helps contrast with the reds of the base skin, and helps it stand out more.

I was about to start a thread on this too; the asymmetry of her boots(?) are killing me too, they should just choose one or the other. (preferably the thigh high)

Regardless pink or red the skin is awesome in my opinion and I hope that whatever the final outcome of the skin you enjoy as much as I will regardless or whatever the colour change

I did some red recolors here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/qxiX85Qj-the-real-reason-people-are-getting-twitchy-about-blood-moon-elise

I think it is looking quite a bit better in terms of the blood moon line than the pink one does.

as a stand alone skin, pink is fine, but as a blood moon skin, it kinda hurts the quality of the whole line.
