Riven Concept

So I was looking through SIXMOREVODKA's website (https://sixmorevodka.com/), after playing Legends of Runeterra. I was looking at a lot of the amazing concept art for the game, although when looking at a concept for Riven she looked really off to me: https://cdn1.sixmorevodka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/08000232/RIVEN.jpg?webp=0 A lot of the champions were slightly different from in game, some updated and some probably just the artists interpretation. For the most part though the champions looked like the character and I didn't mind, or in some cases, preferred the different version, except for Riven. The obvious thing is the hair but my bigger issue is the body type and her face. In this concept she is very slender, which makes it look like the image is someone cosplaying Riven, not actually Riven... Is this just me or does it actually look off?

That aside though the art is amazing and I highly recommend trawling through the website if you haven't already. EDIT: Ezreal also looked really off to me in the concepts there, although admittedly he is a little better in game.

Damn, I really hope they reconsider some of these characters for card designs, looking through the Piltover/Zaun designs which didn't make it through, they are absolutely amazing!!

I think she resemles her splash art a lot here except for the hair. She's slender in-game and on the splash too though it doesn't make sense

I feel like this is simply a problem with Rivens character design in general. She just looks way too slender compared to her weapon or what is left of her armor, it would probably be good if she looked at little bit more muscular or her armor pieces weren't so oversized.

As for the face: I'd say it does look a bit off, it kinda looks a bit younger than normal, as if she was a teenager and not a young adult.

She's slender in every depiction of her besides Awaken so it's not that off
