Could we get some slight color alterations on Project Vi?

As incredibly happy that I am that Vi got a Project skin, I am a little bothered by the design. Mostly, I think, by the colors. https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YHYV_9fI_qI/WgDhUWEob6I/AAAAAAAAyz8/EgNSYj2tceYPKV0zmnbm4sCJl7SP2VJsgCLcBGAs/s640/viturn.jpg Most, if not all of the Project skins have a main hologram color, then white, and then a cold-colored metal comprising their main color pallet. As an example, Project Vayne has the hologram color of purple, then her white hair, and then the metal comprising her outfit is comprised of cool colors. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XbVtu0OjpWw/WgD90-Rks9I/AAAAAAAAy2A/PnI8RkmqhoMEY8emnU1dAvlKKo8o_Pw9gCLcBGAs/s640/vayneturn2.jpg

However, I feel like Vi's skin bucks this trend, and in doing so makes it look a little too un-Project like, and instead more like a strange steam-punk skin. This is due to the warm colors on the surfaces of her metal parts. Generally, bronze colors give off a warmer, more steampunk-ish feel. Meanwhile, the cool metal used in the Project skins helps communicate a cold, dark Cyberpunk feel. I would suggest altering the bronze-tinted metal pieces on her outfit to a cooler color, as that bronze feels like it is detracting from the Cyber-punk aesthetic of the skin. I actually can't really recall any cyberpunk characters that have ever had bronze-colored limbs (I may be wrong) because, again, bronze/copper is more of a steam-punk thing.

Even project Leona, who has a yellow hologram color, has silvery armor https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0GaNr3uezjI/maxresdefault.jpg

I would also like it if some of the green bits were toned down to, again, a more silvery metal color, as the green belt pockets scream "military" more than they do "cyborg warrior". Having some of the glowing orange mirrored on her lower half, perhaps on her shoes, would help balance out the bright orange a bit too, either that, or toning down the orange on her fists to more of a yellow. As of now her fists look a little overcomplicated in design (just a nitpick, really), and besides the holograms, they don't look very cyberpunk.

She doesn't feel as "PROJECT" as she should.

I hope I was able to communicate my issue. I adore the fact that Vi is getting a Project skin but feel like the colors are taking a bit of my excitement away in terms of the aesthetics. The Vayne skin, however, is INCREDIBLE, and very, very much looks like a true Project skin. Unfortunately, I don't play Vayne or desire to play her :( [sg-soraka]

EDIT: I attempted to do a very very rough slight edit to Vi. What do you think? https://i.imgur.com/yhjVi7i.png

Vi getting a project skin is great. Definitely would do better making her fists go hot neon PINK like her usual theme pink colors. Vi CAN'T do without pink or neon colors! A color somewhere near Fiora's would be fitting.

MAKE VI PINK AGAIN!

I do like that the visor looks more like a hologram in your edit. I'm not a huge fan of the V shades as they stand right now. Though all in all I like the dark look of the original.

Nice that you took away the brown colors and added more of the themed color, but I still hate it. I hate the blue for the "vest" part. And the added color could be incorporated in a different way. Not a horrible edit but I don't want this to be her final look. I really hate the orange/yellow like most people are complaining about. Vi just got a green skin, I think neon pink would be awesome, other project skins keep their default color theme like Katarina, Leona, Zed, Master Yi? They didn't need to go out of their way to give Vi a lame color, give her what she and all the Vi mains want, PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK.Vi
