Teemo's new (future) splash art looks like a stoned kid in a costume. His smile is too wide and eyes too flat as if he's falling asleep instead of happy. His whole head is actually too broad and flat.

There are three main problems with the new splash art for Cotton Tail Teemo.
First is that there is a serious counterbalance issue, it is super subtle but it is there. The angle at which Teemo's head is facing as well as its position appear as though Teemo is straining his neck to lean forward...which isn't natural, giving him a sort of "I'm totally high, dudes!" look.
Second is his head is shaped like a football. There's too much width and not enough height. While it is true Teemo's head oval shaped and not round, this rendition goes over the mark just by a tiny amount.
Third is his mouth. The mouth is much, much too wide. It needs to be reigned in by a lot.
To give you an illustration at what the above three corrections look like, I present you with the following image:
To be honest, I'd be happy if they at least "photoshopped" the original Cottontail Teemo face and placed it over the new splash with some colour modifications to match the new splash.
As much as I adore the classic look of the original splash, if Riot really wants to change it - the face is the main issue I have with the newer splash. His eyes look extremely baggy and the smile just looks disturbing when comparing it to Teemo's classic appearance. The skin is meant to have a cute appearance - and I really don't think it does a good job at representing that. Even the Chinese splash for Cottontail Teemo has Teemo's face look much more identical to the original splash than this new one...
The hoodie of the bunny suit also doesn't appear proportionally right to me...however, I'd be happy if Riot at least modifies his face for the timebeing in the new splash.
How about we keep it?
