Kindred's In-Game Vs. Splash

Alright, I know I'm being knit-picky about this but it has been kind of bothering me. Has anyone else noticed the various rather large differences between Kindred's in-game and splash art? Like, don't get me wrong, I don't expect them to be exact or nearly as detailed. But it doesn't make sense to me that larger details such as Wolf's mask or even just Lamb's hands can go overlooked. I'm excited for the champion and obviously these differences aren't going to effect them in game, but is anyone else bothered by these differences?

I mean as said, I don't expect them to be exact but these seem like rather large differences compared to the usual texture and slight detail missing differences. Even Wolf's mask is different, which as far as I'm concerned is a large part of the champion's concept altogether. Any other thoughts? Does anyone agree?

Personally Lambs hands don't bother me too much but wolf's mask does. Its suppose to be a lamb mask. I mean Lamb's mask is in the shape of a wolf so why isn't Wolf's mask in the shape of a lamb on the model.

Because they're saving it for a skin. They're gonna add the blue tint to wolf's mouth, make him solid black, and call it "Underworld Kindred."

I have a feeling that Rito did the splash and then they fixed up the model. I don't think its been overlooked i think they're lazy.

The only thing that bothers me is Wolf's teeth. They look cooler in the splash but eh, I'll probably get used to it.

Wolf's ingame model looks so much smaller than his splash art size.

The hands confuse me greatly, as we have many champions that display Riot is fully capable of rendering five digits on a model.

More than likely the discrepancies between in-game model and splash art is due to miscommunication. I do find it amusing that in A Good Death, Lamb has three fingers, but Wolf resembles his design in the splash.

Something something clarity because game colors and such.

Of course other people agree. It's been a thing on the boards since Kindred's PBE release. My only hope now is that with Kindred pushed back, maybe they will fix it since obviously they have more time. You know, Riot also seems to be ignoring this purposely as there are multiple posts here about it and also on the PBE forums. My guess is that they ARE AWARE. I mean it's a large company and riot has great attention to detail. They've also been replying to OTHER posts regarding concerns with Kindred, such as Wolf being in the release skin loading screen. More than likely they've seen these posts too. The only problem is that they haven't responded. Maybe they feel like we're treating them like idiots. I mean no sh*t they notice things like this. I want to think that if we give them time, they will fix it. I understand though that it can be frustrating to not get feedback. All we can do is wait since they have decided not to comment.
