Two things that need to be said:

  1. The angle isn't very good, her face appears far too manly like that. Maybe make her turn her head so we get a better and more suited look on her face? The chin is the issue here.
  2. The loading screen version has far too much unused space, either zoom out to show more of her or turn the thing a bit around like they did for Lee Sin's portrait ingame.

I don't see that and i'm squinting. The face looks like it belongs on a pokemon tbh

Idk. The jawline I guess.

Oleandervine3 votes

It would be the jawline, the wide nose, and the large lips that combine to give that effect. While I wouldn't mind it at all, this is Cassiopeia, who is not an African woman.

Cassiopeia DOES NOT HAVE THESE FEATURES. She distinctly has a slender nose, larger eyes, and thin lips. http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Cassiopeia_0.jpg

This Cassiopeia is not the same one that is pictured in the Eternum splash art.

Makes sense, as it is a skin.

I mean, with the complaints I'm reading, the problem is that she doesn't have the typical Anglo-Saxon facial structure because I'm not reading too much irregularity with how she's looking right now.

You know, I really don't know what the Eternum theme is suppose to be anyway. The only thing I could take from it is that it's about armored creatures/monsters with some sort of red power. They're clearly not machines, I imagine that's their "natural" look.

I read comments saying the skin doesn't fit Cass or vice versa & I'm just sitting here wondering what the freak is this skinline is.

They're monstrous bio-machines that can move through dreams and assimilate other organisms. It began with Eternum Nocturne.

I disagree. I see them more as a Bio-mechanical hive-mind, similar to Star Trek's Borg that invades other worlds. For example, Eternum Nocturne has voicelines that refer to a collective over a singular entity.

"Despair in our presence" "Long have we waited"

Also in Eternum Cass' recall she literally turns a small creature into a bio-mechanical variant of itself, which seems to imply that the Eternum is a collective that adds to itself through forced conversion. The Borg of Star-Trek are similar in this fashion, adding entire races to their collective and it's technology.

It looks very weird from that angle. Her face is way too distorted, also thanks to the shading her waist looks super thin :/

Forbidden Siren7 votes

Disappointing. It seems they did a quickie on this one and be done with it.

Canastus2 votes

Yeah, that's pretty much the impression it left on me. They probably didn't have enough time to reflect on it, otherwise they would have realized the issues with it. Seems a bit rushed.

Forbidden Siren5 votes

I'm hoping they have time to fix the face, at least, if enough people voice their opinions. They did adjust Conqueror Karma's face in her splash art before so there's hope.

Solari Fortune2 votes

3 weeks this cycle so I think they might make some changes to the face since that seems to be the biggest complaint

Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votes

To be fair the main issue with Conqueror Karma is that they made a champion who people often seen as Black into a white person. It wasn't the angle or design that upset people.

Poop Jelly3 votes

What? I feel like it looked like the artist put a lot of efforts into this one. You or I may not like it, but I can see the amount of works behind those details in her texture and in the background. It looks way more time-consuming than the new star guardians.

AbiwonKenabi1 votes

I agree. I was some what disappointed by the Star Guardian splashes since the previous ones were so fantastic. The new ones feel a bit same-y. Eternum Cass looks unique and high quality, but I agree with others the face angle makes it look a bit odd. I know she's not necessarily supposed to be a looker, having been cursed and all, but still.

Alright, gotta agree on this one, this splash sucks.

Zyranium3 votes

Her face is very weird and ugly, I'm not buying it at all I like the skin as it is, and the effects, but EW that splash is awful, sorry to say

Im not ingrate or anything else, I just don't like it, she looks manly

Hexs Fortune3 votes

Not enough detail on the face. Many recent splash arts are lacking detail on the face and it's led to this monstrosity lol

ABlueQuaker3 votes

This is a pretty awful skin. They've scrapped skins in the past for less.

The Pale King3 votes

I really don't like the angle or the pudgy face. I really like this skin. Just make her look a bit more feminine. I own all her skins and have played through all her game play changes since the beginning. Very hyped for this skin!

Snake Prince3 votes

I was about to buy this skin , but the splash is too repulsive . Wont put any money for such low quality art , unless some work is done for her face

They're great but I don't check Surrender@20 often. I do however check the Boards often and you are generally the person that informs me of the newest Skins and shows me their splash arts, so I'm very grateful to you for that (as well as your other sensible posts around the Boards, you're quite reasonable in general).

Silvarspark2 votes

The splash overall isnt bad, far from it. It's technically really well done.

That beeing said, the angle on the face is somewhat unfortunate and I miss some more red glow reffects as well and maybe some refelected red light on the metal parts.

As someone who has wanted a new Cass skin for a couple years or more, I'm quite disappointed with this skin. First of all, Eternum skin-line is just one of those ambiguous concepts that doesn't really make sense and just looks gaudy and strange. We have this beautiful, organic life-form slithering through the lanes/jungles etc. and we're going to throw a bunch of compound-curved metal objects on her to weigh her down? Her face tells me she's getting photo-bombed and she's turning around to see who it is. It's not a dynamic pose at all, okay her fingers are sprawled out and you have her tail coming toward the audience, congrats.

She's not focused on anything and her face/helm is extremely flat looking. Painting techniques don't make up for a poor concept. It's been many years since she's received a new skin, her old ones have not been updated at all, and this is what she gets? Damn girl, I'm sorry.

I tried to do a paintover to see what can be done. I felt the face was rather stretched and flat. The eyes needed some tilt to go with the curve of the face. I also added reds in the shadows and more glow overall. Another thing is the backlighting. If you have such a strong light source behind you, some parts in the shadow needed to be darker.

At least these are my quick thoughts. Overall it still works of course, but I noticed that it actually looks quite different than the skin.

Her face looks flat because that what she looks like ingame https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qaQDSigiOcQ/WZyLiSeMDgI/AAAAAAAAslU/SXM6vq-x4bMj1Dosxsc5DGfxkZMv6YseQCLcBGAs/s1903/cass.png

In general it doesn't look like she is supposed to look sexy or even human.

By that logic, the splash needs a lot more work to look like the skin.

GreenLore1 votes

Well splash arts look of course not always like the ingame skin,but your changes specifically target parts of her face that make it look even less like the ingamel model.

The splashart update is a lot better, but there are still two things that can be fixed to be more faithful to the skin. 1 These eyebrow extensions 2 The dark lips

Also I experimented with the skin a little. I feel like the gold parts on the head are somewhat distracting and the head is a bit too orange. Please, tell me what you think.
