Arcade Ezreal doesn't look like Ezreal

When I look at the classic skin, which was fairly recently updated as far as the splash goes, he looks nothing like that chick in the Arcade Ezreal splash.

If it wasn't labeled or showing the gauntlet, I'd think it was a new character teaser. The face is extremely feminine. I noticed this was happening with some of his other art as well.

In the classic he has a rounded heavy chin and a masculine jawline. His nose is rounded but straight and his cheekbones don't push out much making his face more round with a classically masculine jaw.

In the Nottingham skin his face is more angular but overall you can still identify it as Ezreal. His chin is clearly more pointed than in his classic skin nonetheless.

Frosted Ezreal is back to the same setup as the classic splash. His nose is the same his cheekbones aren't overly pronounced and his chin isn't extremely angular. He looks like a guy.

The same can be said for Pulsefire Ezreal.

However, when you get into the next three skins you start to see more feminine features in his face.

In the Debonair Ezreal his chin is more pointed than his classic, Pulsefire, or Frosted skins. It stands out more, but it doesn't take enough of the face away to make him not look like Ezreal. His nose is different as well. It's more sharp and the tip isn't rounded as well as the bridge being thinner. It doesn't look like a masculine nose.

Ace of Spades Ezreal flat out looks like a girl. This is mostly due to the angle of the face, and since this is a theme skin you wouldn't be able to change it, but the skin looks like a girl. The same issues as above are present in this skin.

Then we get to the latest skin. I love the skin, but holy hell whoever did it didn't actually look at Ezreal or study his features, and if they did they did a piss poor job of translating it. I'm sorry but it doens't even look like Ezreal. Everything about the skin is sharp and angular towards his chin. The skin has very typical aspects of female anatomy in the face and doesn't look at all like the classic. The only difference in his face should be expression and hairstyle. The anatomical structure should be the same and it just isn't, at all.

I like the skins, but as time is going on, you're losing your touch with your original splash arts and the structure of the characters in them.
