RiotReav394 votesGlad you guys like them! As someone who was only playing LoL and not working on LoL when these were announced it feels surreal to be the producer on these splashes!
Weiner the Pooh2 votesSo you're the artist? Can you confirm if Fiora's are being worked on? it was announced she was getting them, so are they gonna be shown soon?
InsanitysTheName1 votesHe's the product manager so he confirms anything that will be released to live servers in relation to merchandise. Ex: Anything you can buy with $. So while he's not the artist, he could tell you what's up next and what was previously mentioned was that after Nidalee, Sion would be up.
RiotReav32 votesYou are correct that I am a Producer and not the Artist, though your perception of what a Product Manager does is incorrect. I don't really do anything regarding merchandise or $. I manage the products that the Champion Update Team works on throughout development, when they release and even tracking how they do after release. These skin splash updates, the big VGU's like Taric & The Roster projects are all products the Champion Update Team makes. For more context into what a Product Manager at Riot does see my 2 posts below

You made them? Holy cow, you need to do more splash arts! You're really talented.
RiotReav35 votesDidn't make them, just the producer on them. Most were done by different artist with the exception of Snow Bunny and Pharoah which were mostly worked on by the same artist. Pharoah was started by one artist but finished by the same artist that did Snow Bunny.
FBI Surveillance4 votesThese are some kick-ass splash arts! The lighting and perspective on Leopard Nidalee, the detail in the crystal embedded in Pharaoh Nidalee's boots and the itty bitty Kitty Kat in Bewitching Nidalee are amazing! Leopard Nid looks almost like a photo of a cosplay at a quick glance. Seriously, what an awesome job. The splash arts themselves make me value the skins more. Do you have an online portfolio of other artworks you've done?
RiotReav319 votesI'm not the artist, just the producer. I wish I could draw this well :). These were done by multiple artisits not a singular artist. And yeah, the illustration team here at Riot are preeeety good.
Spellvamp Garen3 votesAny chance we could have this splash art updated:
Looks like a 14yr old drew it for high school art class. Body proportions are all wrong.
Rufus Crabmiser12 votespharaoh is next level tbh

skins update? Or is that w/ the rework?
RiotReav313 votesThat's the plan! :)
BatchWizard4 votes is getting a rework? Hmm I need to get on boards more lol.
LVL 5 PORO2 votesI'm a nidalee main now.
l Helios l3 votesDo you know when twitch splashes will be updated? After Ryze and Yorick I'd think but any eta?
RiotReav34 votesIt's hard to say when these will be released as they are lower priority then anything else Champion Update is making. For example, we wanted to get these out before Taric, but we weren't quite there and had to put them on hold to get Taric and the Mage Update out, then when that settled down we got back to the Trundle/Trist/Nidalee splashes. We are currently focused on Ryze and all his splashes though we have started really early ideation on Sion Splashes. Sion and Twitch's will for sure be after Ryze but I can't say how long after. The good thing is that Yorick has very few skins so that should give us a bit of bandwidth after Ryze. Warwick has A LOT of skins as well though so there will be a point we have to start to focus on that.
There are also a few more 1 off splashes that we have at 70-90% complete that we didn't get to in the last round of random 1 offs (Olaf, PAX sivir for example) So I would to expect to see a few more random 1 offs here and there too.
RottedApples2 votesi for one don't care who gets their splash art updates before whom. I just enjoying seeing them.
keep up the good works art dudes.
Brutusness2 votesDo you know if there's an ETA on Ryze's champion update? Like, is he after the next revealed champion, or after the one following that?
Kella36 votesNo exaggeration these might be the best splashes they've ever released.
They're all beautiful.
undesirable team17 votesNo exaggeration these might be the best splashes they've ever released.
They're all beautiful.
is more beautiful :)
Blue Moon Wolf19 votesI'm hoping the in game skin models get some texture updates as well. Last time I played Snow Bunny 
(which btw is a very misleading name Rito >.>) her clothes were still pink and Pharaoh Nid does sort of look like that, but with more faded colors.
Blades in Exile6 votesIf they fix the colour I would definitely buy the skin
Photos of Ghosts19 votesDem feet in French Maid Nida.
Kotex14 votes
Photos of Ghosts13 votesThose are not updated.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesactually those are the ones they released recently.
PaladinNO3 votesAll of which are only placeholders.
But it begs the question why they even were released in the first place, being so horrible as they are.
Diananmen Square2 votesThe Twitch one isn't that awful, at least he doesn't have the old 10 meter long nose anymore.
Ralanr12 votesMakes me giddy for Sion's updates.
xxxDogmanxxx11 votesTHANK GOD, YOU UPDATED PHARAOH NIDALEE!!!!! That was the ugliest splash art in the entire game.
AlwaysByMySide9 votesSo does the person who made the French Maid Nidalee splash art have a foot fetish?
SpongebobIsLife9 voteshey, there's nothing wrong with that ;)
To each their own XD
ImmortalBloodCY7 votesSo maid Nidalee become sexier now?
SeductiveGrandpa6 votesTrundle had me questioning my sexuality, but after seeing Nidalee's new splashes, i'm back on track.
Wait, no, im still questioning if its okay to have feelings for a video game troll.
SoQuiche5 votesThese new splashes are absolutely breath taking. First Tristana and Trundle, now Nidalee.. I can't wait to see who's next!! (I'm really waiting for Evelynn) ;)
Mecha MaIphite5 votesUpvoted for . . . personality.
YuGiHo3 votesI like thae cat in the last one, sad that it prolly wont make it into the loading screen slice
YuGiHo4 votesAnd the kitty in French maid
Ghostvoider Rick3 votesThe Egyptian one really screams... seductive domination...
Elikain3 votesNow, Nidalee is really deserving of her title "The Bestial Huntress". Amazing work! I'm so hyped about the splash updates! [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]
#Bewitching Nidalee splash reminds me so much of Blair from Soul Eater.
Totalis3 votesFrench maid and Pharoah have me feeling some kind of way right now
sealust2 votesI am IN LOVE with the new leopard splash omg
Asriel Memester2 votesI think I see kitty Katarina in the background of the last one. Also a strange blob. And that blob is definitely not Blitzcrank.
KissenKitten2 votesI love the new splashes. But I can't help but notice something. Is it just me, or has Nidalee gotten whiter and whiter over the years? I've been playing league for a long time and Nidalee and Karma were the only two with any "color" to them. And now...
Abyssphere2 votesDepends on the skin. Base, French Maid and Pharaoh are all pretty dark, but the others are quite pale. Cougar's kind of in between.
But yeah, as the other guy said. Even if Nid has gotten less dark, we've got Lucian, Ekko and Taliyah now.
jade harley BARK4 votesthat's still a really really low amount of non-white champions. don't get me wrong, I appreciate riot becoming more diverse with their champions, but seeing as though nidalee isn't white in her original splash, it would be nice if she maintained that skin color in all her splashes (especially in her pharaoh one...seeing as though Egyptians of that time were far from white).
rtbf221479703 votesShe needs a sexy tan or straight african lol
SlashStriker2 votesi like Maid Nidalee alot
B1naryB0t2 votesMy only complaint is that French Maid Nidalee would be the most useless maid ever, she's just sitting around drinking lemonade.
