Soooo... yeah her face is too long.. need to shorten that a bit. It was just the angle that was wrong, move her head lower. Photoshopped her hips too..

Just to be clear, i didn't steal this from KissU, infact, I am KissU. I don't want to feel special though, I am just a person who is just as disappointed as you guys. We all wanted the same changes. You can find my post pretty much on the top most voted posts. http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/02/212-pbe-update.html

The new splash looks like Singed in a wig.

But as far as your edit goes, it's as close as humanly possible to fixing this piece of shit (you did a great job) and it's still bad. There is no actual fixing it, it has to be replaced.

LMFAO her face looks atrocious either way.

They just gave her a horrible pose and camera angle and nothing short of a splash replacement is going to fix that.

Why the HELL does every champ splash have to involve them in some bizarre contortion with goofy perspective and wonky camera angles? It's beginning to get absurd. Is this some artist's fetish over at Riot? Does he dream of dating a hideously proportioned, half-out of focus contortionist?

someone needs to photoshop her thigh because the bend is super awkward.

Kat Head2/12/2015, 9:16:30 PM19 votes

They both look like SHIT, your version of shit is slightly better.

sigh.. why does Riot fail so hard at the female splashes? this is just horrible...

I'm probably gonna get downvoted here, but are any of you guys posting on this thread aware of how you artistically realistically portray distance and scale? Her face is long because she's leaning forward which is why her right knee looks so big while her left one coming out of the portal is tiny in comparison. Naturally her body which is stretched out beneath her would look smaller in scale compared to her face but if you were to take the face on the right after the Photoshop and have her stand straight up, it would look short and smashed in comparison.

Also, had another guy comment the picture of her 3D render from the League video. look at her hips and her face. Big hair, long face, big hips. And in all honesty in comparison to WK and mercenary Kat im surprised they didnt actually make her butt bigger in this. she's all hip.

any of you guys ever see girls on facebook, twitter, or snapchat? They turns sideways to make their stomach look thinner, lean forward to make their chest look bigger, and stick their hip out. This pose here is no different than 10k you can find on social media. Kat has always had big hips both in game and in splash and that's exactly how it's supposed to look when a girl is in that pose.

oh and the weird shadow-y guys on the side are people seen through a ripple caused by the distortion in space that kat is jumping through. That's why they look stretched and blurry. Personally from an artistic point of view both aesthetically and in terms the realistic rendering of a 3D figure onto a 2 dimensional plane following proper understanding of objective distortion, it's spot on.

I like the new Kat and you're free to compare the image of the 3D render and please for the love of god use reason when telling me why it is exactly you believe that a woman could not possibly look that way or make that pose. Just compare the splash with the 3D render and imagine the render in that pose. Then tell me if you still think it's distorted.

Good God. If that...thing becomes her splash I might just start banning her every game so I never have to look at it.

That looks AWFUL :(

I hate being negative about people's work, but I honestly don't like this splash. Keep the old one, or put one in from either a different angle or without a face looking like a shovel.

Squìdward2/13/2015, 2:38:57 AM9 votes

Can you guys not be so rude about this? I understand that you may not like the new splash art, but I'm sure the artist worked VERY hard on this. How would YOU feel if you spent hours and hours working on something you put time and effort in only to have it bashed by people.

i like this tweaked version, dont get why so many people are hating....i guess its because the cold-blooded assassin isnt a barbie doll anymore ?

Captain Aishi2/12/2015, 10:54:33 PM6 votes

I think there is a slight problem with a splash art update that makes you go "SWEET JESUS WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?" like this one made me do... I don't get the point of hiring talented artists if it's to commission them to draw stuff that looks like shit

BallisticMouse2/13/2015, 12:58:24 AM6 votes

Stop making unrealistic hips Riot, I see it enough on TV I don't need that BS in video games.

Keir2/12/2015, 9:09:37 PM5 votes

A great edit: No need for her hip to look like a shelf, that's just ridiculous. Shortening her face did wonders as well make her look a bit better and still get the intensity in her look that this splash obviously is trying to go for.

Ashes Arise2/13/2015, 12:56:39 AM5 votes

I wish they had their artists doing more productive stuff than downgrading what is already good. Normally I wouldn't be so rude when talking about someone's art. Hell I would kudos this interpretation of Kat. All that goes out the window when you present it as an upgrade from what is already there. I have opposed about 1/3 of these splash updates, but this one is one of the worst. The main things that jump out at me as "awful" are the perspective and anatomy. Everyone is so focused on her face that they don't see how deformed her body is.

Rito really needs to hire a hip photoshopping intern.

for some reason I think of legendary skin nocturne when I look at it probably the colors. I don't like it Pointy face XD

Wow, this splash is awfullll.. The current one is actually better than this x-x, jesus

AFK Push2/12/2015, 9:35:44 PM4 votes

This reminds me of the sivir splash, both of them are are performing these impossible bends that no matter what the angle makes them look weird.

Your changes make it 100 times better Asul.

Yeahh you fixed most of her raptor hip!

Hilltop Sunset2/13/2015, 2:03:37 PM1 votes

Why do the female champs have to have immaculately beautiful and perfect faces? I actually kind of like the new splash just because it gives her some character; something different instead of a generic, societal-beauty-standard face. So everyone's mad because...you can't fap to her anymore? You don't think she's as good-looking as before? Maybe it's not a poor rendering; maybe you just have strict, unreasonable standards of beauty.

kleptojax2/13/2015, 7:32:54 AM

Are you sure you're the one who photoshopped this? Because http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/02/212-pbe-update.html surr at 20 top comment posted this pic before you did.
