Evelynn Art Work points

Edit: I wish my "Revert / Rework Quinn" threads got this much traction ;(

#Evelynn is nude (eww gross)

In the teaser image her body wasn't covered at all.

In what I assume is the splash art we see that her body is covered and continually covering itself. I'm imaging that the leak is true on Evelynn being naked most of the time. The shadows cover her and when she kills something they come off and she uses it as a weapon? It's most noticeable around her body. The shadows around her waist are connecting, it's covered her left side more so far, and it's continuing to cover her legs and arms.

#Splash art isn't as good as the teaser

I agree! Here's some reasons why the splash art is betraying the teaser and the character Evelynn players want.

First off are her eyes: Irises and eyes in general are a huge defining feature in a lot of art works because you can read so much emotions just from how someones eyes look. In the teaser image Evelynn had no irises which creates a ton of ambiguity because we don't know what the hell is going on with her eyes. Although having no irises are a super common thing it does get the job done and makes thing unsettling. Ambiguity is a very important part in getting fear working. It's one thing to be afraid of something because you know it's gonna happen, like with hurricanes. It's another thing to be afraid of something while having no information about it, like in a lot of horror movies.

Evelynn now has vertical irises which removes a lot of that ambiguity and also relates her to other things. Rito described Evelynn as a cat in her short story and cats have the same kinda eyes. Yes you would be afraid if you saw Evelynn on the street but you wouldn't be as afraid anymore because a lot of ambiguity is gone. She's no longer as threatening because we have a better read on her.

Her face overall:

https://image.prntscr.com/image/1TRPqIZGRSGlYA5e-Qi-nw.png

Apart from her eyes her face betrays the teaser as well. She has dimples... I don't think I gotta say any more than that but when I think spooky demon succubus the first thing that comes to mind ISN'T dimples! I associate dimples with cute things not spooky demons. Her lips are also really big which is another silly thing. Some people fine big lips attractive, sure everyone has their own likes, but does Evelynn really need big smacky lips? Big smacky lips also take away from her being lethal because when I see huge lips I'm not thinking that this person is gonna kill me I'm thinking that "dafuq their lips so big". This is mostly subjective but big lips is a beauty standard thing and I have no idea why they would give them to Evelynn. Like as a succubus-demon thing kinda I imagine she kisses people occasionally and now all I think about a big lips eating someones face...

Lastly is sexualization:

I don't think that it's possible to sexualize a character like Evelynn in a bad way but Riot somehow managed to do it! In her teaser image Evelynn is probably more naked than in her splash art. We see the lines of her chest, her lips, and that's about all that sexualizes her. As I mentioned earlier her face can't be sexualized that much. imagine a ton of people ignored this because they weren't the center of the image (although placed in the center hah hah). What was much more noticeable were her eyes, her extremely sharp hands, and the two sharp things at her sides. Her face actual lacks detail in comparison to her hands, you would look towards her eyes naturally but than realize her face for the most part has nothing else going on. Her hands as I said already are super sharp and have more detail and are pressing into that deaderino guy. Her hands are also the first thing we are introduced to. So in order we most likely went: Hands -> Face(Eyes) -> Hands -> Sharp Hands -> Dead body-> Side Things

It's important to note that Riot depicted the hands the way they did. Her hands are naturally super spooky and we see all the spooky parts of her hand flash. The expression of the dead person is also a +1.

https://image.prntscr.com/image/VrOpBIx_SnSOvN0ikmvzsQ.png

The splash art loses out on all of the deadly points to the teaser. Evelynn's body is shown mostly which is alright for her character but they did a horrible job of evening it out with what makes her deadly! Now we don't even see her freakish demon hands. Her skin looks like normal skin because of the decision to show the moon up in the sky. In contrast the teaser Evelynn made her look completely unhuman because her skin was so white and as it reached towards her hands it becomes red. Their are barely any details poured into her deadly points and that's lame! Now the audience looks at Evelynn in this order:

Body (Short while) -> Face (sexualized lips, familiar eyes) -> Body -> Booty -> Dead guy -> Everything Else

Just thought I'd add a little thought to why people thing the Evelynn splash art isn't that great. I'm not as mad because I don't play Evelynn that much but I do agree with other people in that the splash art isn't that good.

Yes, if I see a demon covered in shadow with massive spike tentacles coming out of her back I'll be less afraid since she has irises. What.

People overreakt so hard over this it is really funny to me

Baron Von Bangin9/23/2017, 4:36:46 PM32 votes

Let her keep her pupils. Blank iris are so fucking overdone. I want to be able to read emotion on a champ that's been around for 7 years and has ALWAYS had emotion and a smarmy personality. Her expression of "Oh, did I do that?" while she's been "caught" ruthlessly assassinating a king no less is perfect, it absolutely suits her. Don't go trying to take away fun aspects from an always fun character. Don't go tearing up what Evelynn used to have just because a well made teaser was released and now she needs to be more edgey. She looks ambiguous and mysterious in the teaser because it's a TEASER.

I agree that the splash art could use a little tweaking but it isn't nearly as bad as all you are making it out to be.

Succubi are, by definition, sexual.. And largely represented as attractive. If anything I think they tied in more demon than you would usually see.

Her lips aren't even that big either... I'm not sure how these "criticisms" are getting so much traction.

Just fix the face and then it's fine.

Nude gross? Are you a sjw?

Mogarl9/23/2017, 5:45:47 PM8 votes

I think the splash is supposed to show Evelyn as sadistic. She was taking her sweet time killing the guy, just finishing up really, and then a bunch of people come in to ruin the party. So she turns to them with a "ooh this'll be fun" look.

If this is the direction they were going for then I think adding some motion so that it looks like she's finishing the guy off would make it better. (I know it's taboo in some places) Adding some blood (or wine, it's right there) to her finger could also be good. An Evelyn that's more interested in sampling the wine than finishing it quickly could be a good characterisation.

well to be fair if she didn't have irises you wouldn't be able to know that shes glancing at the people walking in behind her.

lofi n chillhop9/23/2017, 8:54:57 PM7 votes

neh, I like it. it looks like she's gleeful. it looks like she's toying with the dead body, "hehe did I do this? oh my :3"

like if she were about to kill the duder and she looked like this, then no that's weird for sure. but, if her lore is "siren" then, well, what's wrong with her looking to US all cutely like maybe she can bait US to the same fate? if she looked horifying we'd run. but, she looks cute. like, if you're an idiot you won't see the corpse she's on. tbh it took me a few minutes to figure out that was an arm and not like, a tree or something. so if you get caught for the "siren" alure, well, she's got herself another kill.

but then, even if you DO see the corpse, to see that playful glee on her face... well it'd confuse me. it confused you! this isn't the scene of a brutal murder, what gives? and that moment of confusion can give her an advantage of some kind.

and anyway - if ya ask me - if I were a naked siren who brutally murdered things, well, once dead I'd surely be filled with the same glee and sexy charm that I normally have. I'm not a monster who can't handle my own existence, I'm a predator who finds my life thrilling. it'd be normal for me to look horrific during an attack - but once it is done? what point is there to be horrific? to be horrific is to be filled with the emotion of "murder" but after. I am pleased. I would no longer look horific. I would look gleeful.

in the first teaser, she looks like she just switched from cute to attack eve. which, well, that's how the clip fades out- implying she strikes! but in the splash, she just finished that strike. to return to the playful eve, IMO gives a LOT of added flavour, not at all detracts it nope. it adds it.

"oh, another toy?" is what she's thinking in the splash art.

Ok, one thing:

Evelynn is nude (eww gross)

Why is that "gross"? She is covered by her shadow-thingies and looks fairly attractive.

O Fallen Scholar9/23/2017, 4:40:22 PM6 votes

From my understanding she's being playful in this splash. It's fine. I'm not saying the splash is perfect but the idea is great. Face kinda looks a bit off though. Maybe if Rito could revisit the face of hers, especially eyes and maybe mouth (not that it looks terrible).

xelaker9/23/2017, 3:39:11 PM4 votes

I could deal with her having the cat eyes w/e but did they have to make her look so cutesy?

Cyraken9/23/2017, 8:36:11 PM4 votes

I think people are making a mistake in thinking she's supposed to ONLY be a terrifying demon. No, that's NEVER been Evelynn. Evelynn is a a succubus. Succubi are alluring despite being terrifying, sweet faced, taunting and tempting. Her reveal is perfect, it has us following her. You know you shouldn't go to her, you KNOW it, but you want to so badly that when she whispers a promise you follow despite your misgivings. If this reveal reflects her gameplay, then she doesn't want you to know how dangerous she is. She wants to lead you away from your allys and kill you alone with only your blue buff for a witness.

ForgottenLuck9/23/2017, 8:44:38 PM4 votes

Nah I think the art at the moment works quite well and doesn't need to change

CarameI Frappe9/23/2017, 5:52:26 PM4 votes

Just fix the face to look more like the teaser and everyone would be happier. Everything else is great.

Mr Vulcanator9/23/2017, 7:00:53 PM4 votes

I also dislike that the splash simplified and smoothed out Eve. In the original details were more sharply defined, particularly on her hands.

Stars Shaper9/23/2017, 6:19:16 PM3 votes

I'm just gonna say I like the heart shape on the hip ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Rambi9/23/2017, 5:32:24 PM3 votes

For me, the only issue is in the face and hands. If they just change the face and hands to match the teaser, it'll be perfect.

Żügżwäng9/23/2017, 7:33:37 PM3 votes

What's with this echo chamber on forums. The splash art is fine... The teaser is also good.

Blåbæret9/23/2017, 8:08:52 PM3 votes

Don't see anything wrong with the splash art whatsoever. Some people are impossible to please.

Camulos9/23/2017, 9:19:03 PM3 votes
  1. Of course she's naked, the point of that form is to seduce. She'd probably look closer to her demon form if she hadn't been interrupted, like the scene depicted in the splash.
  2. You're overreacting pretty hard about the lips, they're full, but they aren't **that **large.
  3. The trick to using fear when seducing is to not overdo it, if you do, they'll start running or fighting back. You need juuuuuuuust enough to keep them complacent; the tendrils, claws and "cat eyes" are just freaky enough to make finding her attractive kinky without scaring her prey to the point where they run.

The old Eve splash arts, to me, were too angry. Here, she seems more like a lustful demon enjoying herself, as opposed to a raging mass-murderer who enjoys tearing men apart. Evelynn is my most played champion, and I am perfectly content with the splash art. I just hope she's still a hybrid, because item 3147Duskblade on her current iteration is hilarious.

who the hell cares accept it or dont evelyn is a sexualized character in some form or fashion an it wouldnt be evelyn if she wasnt

VelvetCrotch9/23/2017, 11:36:53 PM3 votes

bro, calm down. huge lips are an other story. these lips arent "huge" and fuller lips are standig for lust and sexappeal which fits a succubus quite well, imho.

cheers

mzicio9/23/2017, 4:32:26 PM2 votes

The guy in the teaser looks petrified to me, maybe her eyes do change in-game as a part of her skillset. I know that stone gaze is already Cassio's ult, but it may be something similar.

Primaquarius9/23/2017, 3:57:16 PM2 votes

Could that be the Ruined King in the background, or someone else?

Zarvanis9/23/2017, 10:53:20 PM2 votes

The shadows cover her and when she kills something they come off and she uses it as a weapon

That sure sounds familiar http://cdn2.gamedots.mx/media/gd/0894_baya412.gif?noredirect (Except Bayonetta's is hair)
