So I get it, this is a video game and nothing is real. There are monsters and translucent dragons. Yes, jinx is extremely petite, and her past art has done well to convey that in a stylish and normal manner. However, this is literally not what any human looks like unless they've been using a corset for like, ten years straight? The waist is supposed to be at least the size of the head... which is what it is in her past splash arts, too. This just looks... really silly. Even for league's standards. Also, wth is that giant gap on the right side of her waist? She is turning her torso slightly, yes, but that's not--even in a million fucking years--supposed to be what a slightly turned waist looks like. It's just.. wrong. lol.

The same technique is used for Kalista skins to make her seem like shes about to spring up and jump at you. With the jinx skin it's too exaggerated imo it almost looks comedic and in a skinline like project that's very dark/serious it doesn't really fit. The pose shes in seems like it would be for an arcade skin or something.

Considering what the PROJECT universe is about(humans augmenting themselves with technology), I think her waistline is just smaller because that's just how she turned out in that universe.

That, or the artist was trying to do something odd with the perspective and it fails to register to us. She's standing at an odd angle where is looks like she's leaning forward with her upper body and bracing herself with her lower body with her legs bent so they're in front of her rather than straight down below her, with her waist seemingly the farthest point from us, which is why it may appear smaller than normal.

Her mask may also be making her head appear bigger than it is, which may also be fucking up the proportions a bit.

The female splash arts lately have been a bit questionable, though. Remember Prestige Arcade Caitlyn's whole boobs not connected to anything and her neck going straight into her shoulders thing? Yeah, that wasn't very pretty.

I mean, if you look at it her waist is cybernetic.
