So i just saw Singed's new Splash Art on the PBE. Something just looked wrong with it at first glance, then I realized what it is.
His same side legs and arms are going the same direction. What I mean is that while running, both his left arm and left leg are forward. And both his right arm and right leg are moving backwards. Have you tried running like that irl? I don't think that's very intimidating if someone ran like that towards you.

rising son2 votesI think to fix this, they should animate his run-animation this way. Make his same-side arm and leg move in the same direction.

Life Of Nami2 votesThere have been a lot of very awkward things in the splash arts lately. I was very off put by the new Singed one and now I understand why. This is the same sort of issue that plagues the new Shyvana splash as well. broken or awkward anatomy.
Singed not walking properly and being very oddly shaped, and shyvana's hips now so wide and with a thigh gap it looks like her legs have been dislocated from her body to achieve the appearance.
I'm not sure as to why they're updating splash arts this way, but it's getting to be ridiculous. The only good one so far is the Akali but you can see her ribcage and she looks like she's starving.
Riot, just who did you hire to do these splash arts?

Nameless Voice1 votesI have to agree, a lot of the recent splash arts are meant to be "action shots", but they end up looking really awkward and unrealistic, with impossible anatomy and really unnatural poses. A part of the problem is that they seem to try to make the character fill as much of the splash art as possible (as opposed to the older splash arts, with more non-champion space), and so they contort the character to fit into the frame of the image at a larger "zoom" level.
Sivir is probably still the worst offender. Cass is another example (though it's more forgiveable in her case, since she's a snake.)
The new Singed art has him oddly crouched down in a pose that doesn't look at all like running (try running with you torso forward that much - you won't be able to), let alone that his legs are different lengths (look at where his knees are on each leg compared to his boot.)

RoyaiChaos2 votesWut? They look right to me.
Deychundei1 votesBut why is he carrying a shield anyways?
I always wondered about his design, seems wierd. Big vial on his back, giant shield.... for no real reason.
GreenLore1 votesdunno i never look at how i run when running. I mean if you move your arms while running you don't think "oh no I shouldn't move my right arm and my right leg to the front at the same time,rather my left leg and my right arm"
John Berserk1 votesNeither of his arms are really in front or in back, they're kind of just either bent in or at his sides, but I get your point.
What I noticed straight away was the weird foreshortening effect on his legs. His leg coming forward is larger in proportion than his leg going backward, giving the picture as a whole a sort of "twisted" look to it, which I actually think kind of works for someone like Singed. It's almost dizzying.
