New Singed Splash Art Backwards?

Hi.

tldr: Shield is in the wrong hand in the new splash art.

Why does the new singed splash art depict singed carrying his shield in his left hand, when he carries the shield in his right hand in game? If it is just to have more of his character visible in the splash art, rather than hidden by a shield, why not just have him running the other direction? The bottles on his hip are on the correct left side though, so flipping the current image horizontally would still leave an issue with things being on the wrong side.

There are some other things that seem odd too, but are minor in comparison. In the splash art, his left glove is fingerless for the the thumb and index finger, while in game both gloves are completely fingerless. The in game model also appears to have holes at the knuckles. The spikes on his shoulder pads appear much spikier in the game model than in the splash art. He has a spike on the toe of his one visible shoe in the splash art, but no toe spikes in game. The splash art shows metal coming up to the neck of the bottle, while his in game model does not. In the new splash art, his shield seems to be upside down. In the new game model, his shield has two triangular spikes on bottom, with rivets or bolts along the inner two sides, that seem to match the top of the shield in the splash art. In game, the top of his shield has two trapezoidal pieces with bolts going along the vertical sides, which seem to match the bottom of the shield in the splash art. In the new splash art, his potion arm has a metal arm guard. His old in game model has a brown arm guard, but the new model has no arm guard at all. His thighs have leather straps on them in the splash art, but there do not appear to be any straps over his pants in the new in game model.

I realize that the splash art is meant to be more artistic than the in game model, and some liberties may be taken, but some of these things just seem off to me. If they were not intended, I wanted to mention the issues before the splash art is released.

Thanks

They could mirror it I suppose.
