I personally think Neeko should look like this.

This is what Neeko should look like. Since she is the Vastayahshei rei not a vastaya like Rakan or Xayah.

I agree. I personally strongly dislike animals with a human face and limbs. She should be full chameleon.
I'd actually play her if she looked like that.
Gotta love wizard lizards.
"There is very, very little human blood in Neeko’s lineage." - Riot FauxShizzle on Ask Riot: Neeko Edition
Yet Looks like an actual little human girl with a tail, while Vastaya like Rengar, Nami and Wukong exist
How is that different from 
or 
who are also Vastaya? Or even Kuuclan from Nidalee's story?
Yes! If not as a base look, perhaps as a toggle option.
Okay like I would like for her hands to have the more lizard like vibe but for the face...I dont think so. She needs to have a more human look to meet that idea that she can blend more within human and animal. She needs a tad more animal I do agree but not to the point where its more animal than human. Half and half like 
.
Neeko isnt a Vastayashai'rei, thats an offcial answer from Riot:
Neeko is not a pure Vastayashai’rei, but she is closer to it than most of the other vastaya. The Oovi-Kat tribe splintered off from the vastaya tribes very early and have largely lived in isolation, so their magic is more pure and ancient than other vastaya. There is very, very little human blood in Neeko’s lineage.
Someone like Xayah—who longs for a time before the vastaya were diminished by the pact made with humans—would freak out upon meeting Neeko. She’d probably feel a little envious because Neeko is so strong with spirit energy, but it’d also make her hopeful that the vastaya aren’t as diminished as she perceives.
She is a vastaya, she just has less human blood.
Her human appearence was also explained, though i would still like her to be more animal-like:
In the early explorations, she was wilder and less influenced by civilization. But actually, the way she’s evolved to look now is because she’s constantly learning from and mimicking other people, and that makes her less wild and more like a human being.
