Your thoughts on this idea for a Swain VU?

I believe Swain is in need of a treatment similar to what Karthus and Twitch received last year: little to no change in his kit, but a do-over of his model, particles, and voice-over.

I like the incorporation of bird-like traits (the armoured gloves resembling talons, the feathers in his robe, the beak-like nose) into Swain's base model, which are quite lacking at the moment. Also, making his model slightly taller would be a great improvement. Having Beatrice follow the design present in his Tyrant skin, resembling a cross between a raven, a vulture, and a waterfowl, would make her more unique, and her current model looks very dated.

What do you think would make for an improved Master Tactician?

So he's a Disney villain now? While this is eggscellently executed, I don't think this style fits League or Swains theme. This basically makes him a parody of himself.

I have to concur on this one. While the model is basically awesome and good lord i could kiss the artist for making such a beautiful thing, i cannot help but think it looks pretty cartoonish, the basic idea is perfect and the feathers on his coat really looks nice, but sadly it's not exactly what most of us would like to see in League of Legends art-design. Anyway, i think this might be a really nice way to start working on Swain, just make him a bit more realistic in his feature and it is going to be perfect. p.s. that cane is pretty neat too

Beatrice is ok i guess, a bit different but she is pretty close to Riot's design.

too cartoony i would like it to keep the seriousness of the original concept

I don't care for the nose or the hair, but it's a very nice model.
