Honestly speaking, dark cosmic Jhin's splash art looks cheap.

It just looks bad in my opinion. It's missing something and looks like a fan made splash art instead. Something I would find on Woxxy's website.

Don't get me wrong, there're obviously thing that look nice, like the gun, the shoulder plate and the crumbling planet. But his face (especially that eye) look just horrible. It's so flat and nothing like I'm used to.

Let's look at other Dark Star themed skins.

Dark Star Kha'Zix: http://prntscr.com/nvjfae

They both have a similar color scheme, yet look atleast 10x as good. They aren't blurred or ruffly sketched on most areas and it just shows.

I don't even think the splash needs that much of a change. Just the eye and those blue hands look really bad. Almost oldschool like. Something I'd see in 2013.

I really hope Jhin's skin's splash art is just a beta version and gets a work over. I'm really not a fan.

I think skin is not that good but splash art is a total master piece. I think it's just you mate, just like how I'm alone in not liking the skin's auto attacks in game.

Yeah something is different about this splash, it immediately caught my eye. It does feel flatter compared to most splashes riot has been putting out in recent years but I assume it's intentional? It kinda feels like a handmade painting to me and since Jhin is an artsy champ maybe they wanted it to have that type of quality.

My only real issue with it is that his other arms are see-through when they are solid in-game. Other than that, I think it does a good job of showing off Jhin as the god he is, wading through a universe of his own design, basking in its annihilation.

With the cosmic skins their is a pretty big gap in art style between these and the brilliant Ashe, Xin Zhao and Lulu splash arts done by the talented Alex Flores

I actually like the Jhin splash above, but imo it doesn't even compare to the shadows, metalwork and posing in Ashe Xin and Lulus splash arts
