What I think about Ahri's New Splash

I have to admit, I didn't know why you guys chose to use the same splash, I hated the whole new dress & how it went in the middle of her breasts, as well as clutter of messy looking tails/pose & thought you guys completely scrapped it instead of just tweaking it but I won't lie, I think it hits Ahri's feel & original look much better than the other one did. Good job BUT the only problem I have with the face, is her chin... it looks massive, especially when looking from a distance. I think that you guys should lighten up the shadow under her lip & make the chin shape more smaller & narrower just as in the original splash. I also believe you guys should darken up her skin tone just a tad bit. She is slightly tan in the in-game model & in her original splash arts for all her skins. In this she looks extremely pale & gives off a feel to me that she is sickly (imo) ;-; Are you guys going to update her model soon to match the new splash? Please try to keep things consistent.

I believe with these changes, more people would stop complaining about the splash because it would help to make it look better & more beautiful. I do think this is a major improvement from the other face though & it makes me happy that she actually feels like the same 'Ahri' at least. From the straighter hair that has the same fringe to the fluffier ears, & darker whisker markings. I don't care that her eyes are not looking towards us, she wasn't in the classic either. Thanks for adding the bell by the way ;3 I will always miss the classic Ahri splash art because it was so perfectly done but I'm happy that this didn't turn out as bad as the other one, just make small changes to it so everyone else can love it too :D I was hoping maybe someone who did the splashes for the Classic, Foxfire, or Popstar could have worked on it from scratch, but that's just me.

Honestly, I hate the new one. The old one looked classy, and her tails really stood out. The new one looks like a girl on drugs with a bunch of furry things surrounding her. Her eyes are dull, the V neck dress looks awkward and less classy/oriental, the tails blend and look like a mess and her chin is awful. It's just all in all worse then the original.

I feel like in the new one, she looks like a little girl inside a giant ball of fluff....it's really quite odd.

I don't think it's as much of an issue of skin tone as it is lighting. She looks like she has the same complexion in both arts, but the one on the PBE is in a really dark setting, making her seem, and I would agree, sickly.

As for her other splashes, I think they all have the same general skin tone, but the in-game models make her more tan looking, especially Foxfire. Personally, I would like the in-game models to be a bit lighter to match the arts, but it's not a big deal.

I was hoping maybe someone who did the splashes for the Classic, Foxfire, or Popstar could have worked on it from scratch, but that's just me.

I agree with this.
