Looks very different form the usual style of splashes. I`m liking it so far :)

I'm wondering where all the splash nazis are. Shouldn't they be here crying about how "it doesn't fit with the rest of league's art"?

Dark Souls 3 looks good

Was thinking the same thing, reminded me a lot of the Souls' series

I thought it looked more BloodBorne.

Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls also used a very Gothic style like these skins. It all reminds me of the art styles used in the physical lorebooks such as Cain's Journal and Tyrael's Journal.

Ofc preceeding all these games people will compare the splash art to is the gothic art style in general. Definitely what Derpmaster says higher in the thread. This is the kind of picture you'd find in a church or a church-turned library. The plague doctor Singed feels kind of off-color for the theme, but the black death came about during the same time though.

I was thinking Bayonetta.

Best part about that I think is that Kayle is wearing Liandry's

Just noticed that! :D

This is BADASS. Very interesting and unique style for the splash arts and I love it. I might get the Kayle one just for that rad splash art

The theme of this splash corresponds so well with the champion's background story that it is insane; Kayle as a kind of angel of death, Singed an undertaker, Nocturne an executioner.

I especially love how Kayle's splash matches her background story by featuring her mask (on Kayle's hip), which Kayle almost never removes and now we all know why: Kayle covers her bloody tears with an iron mask. yet her headpiece seams to denote almost a Lady Liberty-like quality. I love the contrast between the two: severe but noble.

To me this work denotes the toll which Kayle's career has taken on her as an individual, the hard decisions she has made for her race which went against her nature as an angelic being, but shows as well her pride for having done so.

Beautiful work.

Kayle as a kind of angel of death, Singed an undertaker, Nocturne an executioner.

I did not connect that. Wow, that makes this set of skins so MFing badass, I'm so excited!

Actually Singed is a Plague Doctor, not an undertaker.

he is carrying a coffin around

Voluug13Apr 27, 20162 votes

It was only to fit the ''something singed carries around'' thing.

The skin is called ''Black Scourge Singed'' which, plus the beaked mask, is basically a plague doctor reference.

JustifierApr 27, 20161 votes

well aware, however it is the vibe that I get from the work. besides I like it more :) ((also I said "as a kind of") though it was intended for all the following I can see how it was noted for only Kayle)

RalanrApr 26, 20166 votes

Bloody beautiful.

Jungle Lux GodApr 26, 20164 votes

This looks so freaking cool, the way the skins start out in the foreground and blend into the painting in the background.

FBI SurveillanceApr 26, 20161 votes

The upward lighting on Kayle's face is just so eerie, I love this

Kuroi86Apr 26, 20164 votes

Bayonetta 3 confirmed.

I really like the art style and just the overall concept of this splash. It's pretty unique compared to other shared splash arts. Totally gonna buy this Kayle skin.

The background looks bland, Is it done?

Solari FortuneApr 26, 201649 votes

Its suppose to be them coming out of a picture painted on a wall

MrBuffingtonApr 26, 20168 votes

mind blown, this splash is wicked cool

jQueryApr 27, 20161 votes

It is not a wall, it is some kind of script.

But as soon I saw it: SET AS WALLPAPER!

GhostOfShrimpmasApr 26, 20165 votes

Shame they're not jumping out of an explosion, like 80% of the arts they've been putting out.

I love how different this splash art is compared to others. :3

I absolutely love all three of the skins and this gorgeous spalsh art. They are all really brutal and dark and reek of death. Love Singe's death mask, Kayle looks so holy and graceful, but a dark holy. Nocturne's skin is the stuff of nightmares, so it really fits him as a champion.

PikaCHU567Apr 26, 20162 votes

Idk why, but the skin idea really reminds me of Bayonetta! Anyone agree? :D

SukishooApr 26, 20163 votes

Yeah! Kayle really has the Bayonetta Angel look to her.

NephilimiconApr 27, 20162 votes

Those skins look like a combo of Bayonetta style enemies with a texture scheme from Darksiders. I'm definitely getting Kayle's

JerulEonApr 26, 20161 votes

What kind of art style do you call this? I can't quite put a name to it. Kind of reminds me of American Horror Story and other horror, gothic influences.

It's cool that Singed is a plague doctor. What are the others based off of?

LeetriApr 26, 20163 votes

Gothic Horror is what it's called.

not sure but these skins are definitely screaming Darksouls/Bloodbourne

Rito StaffApr 26, 20161 votes

from what are they inspired in? reminds me of something, I don't know what :P

edit: I read below that it's dark souly, but I never played those games. To me it reminds me a bit of a PS2 game called Chaos Legion, it isn't not very known but the spiky armour, shields, swords and just about everything else.

Aatrox could've joined in this theme perfectly

Yeah I thought for sure that was Aatrox at the center at first. He would've fit this theme nicely, but to be fair, it's been a hot minute since Kayle got a skin, and Aatrox got one just a few months ago.

ViashinoWizardApr 26, 20163 votes

It's Gothic Horror inspired, a motif that Dark Souls draws on.
