I was rather fine with the Fiora rework...

I just thought it needed a few tweeks here and there in her model and splash.

Until I saw the updated Royal Guard.

Seriously, what the fuck.

How can you think that's an upgrade to her old model? How can anyone? You literally ruined one of the best skins in the game. I had never been disappointed with a skin update before, but this is just... awful.

As for the other problems people have been mentioning. I don't think the problem lies in her design, I like it, at least. But rather in execution. Her face looks like it has gone through so many plastic surgeries that you can't even fathom how she looked before it, like Michael Jackson, really. Also her haircut style is not bad, but damn, have you guys fucked it up on the splash. It looks like a badly sown wig.

As an artist myself, though I don't work with digital art, I'll give my constructive criticism regardings what I think of the splash: the lighting in her face is just totally wrong, it makes it look like her nose was glued to her face, and what is that light under her left eyebrow? The lighting on her cheeks makes it look like she's wearing Lady Gaga facial prosthetics from the Born This Way video. It also accentuated her shin in a really bad manner and makes her lips look bloated. As for the hair, it doesn't look like it's a continuation of her scalp, it looks like someone tried to sown a wig and fucked it up. To sum up, she looks like she's wearing drag queen make up. Not that that's a problem in its essence, but it doesn't fit her character. (And why does her eyebrows have to be so absurdly done?)

While we're at it: the concept art is million times better than the finished product. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q50J2dYPUbY/Va6JPIeODNI/AAAAAAAAt7Q/8XI_MSB_Bq8/s640/fu-banner.jpg
