Beautiful art and concept but I can't help but feel like Wolf is a touch goofy looking... Mainly what I feel could be better is refining the distractions from the natural sinister aura he has in his concept art. The large nose and the round eyes (mask) take away from how he's supposed to be.

My first thought is his nose should be smaller and slightly farther away from his eyes.

And maybe adding sharpness to either the eyes on the mask (might conflict with the concept though) or creating more of a slender definition to his eyes under the mask

I don't know, what do you guys think? (sorry about crude Photoshop lol)

He is supposed to look like that, it helps bring out his naive child like personality more. Don't try changing things that are fine.

Yeah but looking at the concept art of him and even in-game it seems that something is off about the splash... doesn't he have a long snout, then why does it look so pudgy in the splash? And to me goofy ≠ childlike...

But again that's just my opinion, I still love the champion and the design.

I think the original fits better. Wolf might be the more agressive and sinister one,but he also has a rather child like personality.

I like it, but as with all Kindred feedback, I don't think Riot will do it. It's too late in the process.

Its not like they never change splash arts or iname models before release. Just look at the new Fiora.

MisterHealYoGirl1 votes

What do you mean? They changed Fiora's model as a part of his rework, but I don't think they responded to requests to change her splash art or her hair (and I know they were numerous).

They did This was the original Fiora rework: http://www.arcana-gaming.com/content/arcana/upload/League%20of%20Legends/Champion/Fiora/dplash.jpg

And this is the one that got live: http://www.newsoflegends.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Fiora_0-11.jpg

Both her model and splash were updated

I stand corrected. That's just a texture thing, though; this would be a model change.

GreenLore1 votes

I think smaller model changes are possible(as they did need to change her hair),but only if its not too problematic(Ironstylus said before that the change of hair might not be possible depending on how the rig is built).

Though I doubt that they will actually do a change like the opener proposed,since it doesn't even seem to get much support and they usually do only changes like this if there is a ton of people supporting that change.

Wolf is wearing the Lamb mask, which will obviously look less intimidating.

Honestly. I love his splash art. Your fix looks goofy. Wolf is adorable, but hungry and vicious. He is emotion and want and fear. His mask embodies his true face. All that jazz. Its friggin amazing. Like, to be honest. Kindred's got my favorite concept art since Twitch.
