Anyone else notice that Aurelion Sol's legs/feet are really small and head is kinda big? It looks kinda disproportionate. Here's a quick photoshop to show what I mean:

The original is on the right, and the modified is on the left. All I did was enlarge the legs and shrink the head a bit. It's not a huge issue, but I just find it a bit distracting.
DrCyanide5 votesIt's too add to the illusion of size in game. Model Viewers mess with the perspective that's suppose to be used.
Things that are closer to you look bigger. Hold your hand far away from your face, then bring it close to your face if you don't believe me, it'll take up more of your vision close to you. The modelers are applying the same trick to make Aurelian Sol look big in game. They can't just make his model huge because that would cause problems with hotboxes and blocking vision, etc, so they use an optical illusion instead.

That doesn't really make sense. If his head is already disproportionately big and his legs too small, then in the perspective of the game that disproportion is magnified further, since the head is "closer" to you. The changes op made don't really change the overall size of the model either. The overall length and width of the model basically remains the same, so it wouldn't add any problems.

:c
ModWulf Helhammer2 votesI mean, that's what the original concept always looked like: http://36646d87786feafc0611-0338bbbce19fc98919c6293def4c5554.r0.cf1.rackcdn.com/images/5L66tNbIPNlS.878x0.Z-Z96KYq.jpg
Baron von Jiggly2 votesatleast Aoshin had a slender body in general. even his arms are thing. Aurelion Sol's Arms are fucking Buff and his head is Huge and than he has tiny little baby feet
Dr Cat2 votesHe skipped leg day.
EKnineTIME2 votesI couldnt be more disappointed with the design of Aurelion Sol, the dude has tadpole legs and his face doesnt mesh with his astral/ethereal body design. even more embarassing is that theres been a cool model made and would fit his kit with just particle changes
this should be the original design or at the very least an alternate skin, https://cdn2.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/364/650/large/joel-durham-ao-shin-composite.jpg?1419066015
Riot needs to get it together, how long did this champ take to make, three years almost?
Embertine1 votesWhile I do like the modified one better than the original, he is a celestial dragon and really has no need for legs to begin with. It's no surprise that they would be small seeing as he wouldn't have used them in several billion years.
iTzz Sunara2 votesthen, better no legs than those legs tbh
iTzz Sunara1 votesAurelion Sol looks like a worm, not a dragon... while I like the celestial theme, the VO and probably even the kit, his model is a joke. He looks like a midget dragon. He's no comparison to Ao Shin.
GreenLore1 votesThe thing is that his legs hover slightly above the ground. if riot increased their size now,they would clip into it...
