I absolutely loved the updated Tristana splash (pre-VU). My favorite part of it was her expression, it showed so much life and joy and it was just wonderful to look at. :D Everything about her face before just looked perfect.

My biggest "complaint" (though it's not that big honestly) is that in this once-again-updated splash, her joyous and personality-filled expression was...well, kind of lost. In short, the face, it doesn't look all that much like (new) Tristana. :( Don't misunderstand, I LOVE the updated look and design of new Trist. How she looks in her model and how she looks in her concept art, she's easily among my favorites now.

However, as I said, just the way her head/face/mouth looks in the new splash...I think it's the shape and position of her mouth. It gives her almost a Jay Leno look (though obviously not quite that extreme). I think it could use a few more tweaks to bring back that wonderful expression of hers. Tristana

So, are we going to ignore that the Nidalee splash art has her with a light skin tone when her in game skin tone is changed? I mean, I prefer the high contrast of the lighter skin tone anyway, but some consistency would be nice.

I honestly think it's not finished just yet, there are several highlight points that aren't present so I'm guessing it's just wip and they'll make it more lively

This needs more upvotes. This kind of sane feedback is more of what this board needs. :) And I honestly agree with you; I think the splash needs some adjustments, but it's alright overall.

I love the new splash but I can agree with that critique. I'd say it's pretty accurate.
