So this is Lucian's splash for his new skin. His face looks absolutely terrible. I'm not sure if the intent was to make him look like he was trying to be intimidating or "sexy," but it comes across as an Internet meme instead of whatever the original intent was. The eyes look awkward, small, and you can barely see his irises. His lips also look awkward and strange, and the emphasis seems to be on his larger lower lip, where his other splashes seem to show that his upper lip is the larger one. The smile(?) he has looks creepy, and would even give Thresh the willies. So please, send this back to the drawing board and work on it. It's current iteration is just awful.

Hey, we've passed along the feedback for his face. As always, no promises but the feedback has been heard :O!

Side by side comparison of an edit that Atterual from reddit did and I have to say eyebrows make a huge difference and his lips closer resemble Lucian's in his original splash as more emphasis is on the top rather than the bottom lip as well as the fact the bottom lip matches his skin like in Lucian's original splash. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/417a6071e64594d204a10fabf12a61852e51b68ac7b739988e32378f898daf52.jpg

I like the face. Ty. I'd like it unchanged.

I think the face is a good representation of African-American traits. He also has a nice smirk like "yoo girl im coming for that booty" Lucian which is good for a "fun skin" like heartseeker instead of the usual dead-serious face lucian has in all his skins.

His facial expression...

His face is scrunched up like he is pissed off, but the eyebrows and smile would make you think he is being flirtatious.

The eyes also seem odd to me. Unless I am mistaken here, Lucian doesn't have Ice-blue eyes.

I do have to admit the eyes look a little scary to me... ^_^;;

I am not going to lie, in his current state, he looks a bit rapist-y to me. The thing is, the artists came so close to making this dude look incredibly handsome and alluring, but they did something just wrong enough that it came out creepy. It is mostly in the eyes, but the lip seems a bit off to me as many people have pointed out.

Can we fix the crusty bottom lip feel please?

is someone getting like....audited for that shit? can something this bad just bring about a full review of all their work? how do you allow somebody who could do that to work for a company that develops the most popular game on the planet. accidents happen, but this is the worst splash arts ive ever seen. what a booming start to 2017

Bumping so hopefully Riot KateyKhaos or someone else in skins will see this and fix it.

His Eyes look yellow-ish imho, which is another odd thing.

They can tweak WW Karma around but they can't promise to pop that balloon you call a lower lip

(In my opinion) They just need to change the top of his face honestly. If you cover up the bottom of his nose to his chin, he looks like he's about to club a baby seal. Unfurrow the brow a bit so he doesn't look like he's contemplating gouging your eyes out. That being said, if they wanted to add detail to him that they haven't been able to before, that's fine, just keep it, you know, not menacing for a Heartseeker skin.

You forgot to mention the super big somewhat provocative eyebrows.
