I know we’re getting the same blood moon game mode but I’m just wondering if there will be any new blood moon skins since there are usually teasers for it early But there is still tomorrow and Monday and if we do get it I hope it goes to one or some of these champions:Vladimir Camille Sona Bard Kindred Evelynn

Edit: I’d also like to add Trundle to this Give me a red oni please riot 😍

The question is if we're even getting blood moon skins at all. Sure they came out in febuary twice in a row,but before that they didn't come in stable intervals,so I wouldn't count on it being a regular seasonal event.

Though I agree that Kindred Evelynn and Bard would be cool choices. Though I'm not so sure about the others(Vlad has already a lot of red in his regular skin,Sona has already her guqin skin,which is also red and asian inspired and I just don't see how Camille fits that well into the skinline)

Also,as much as it pains me to say this,I actually think Ahri would be a good fit,as she could use one of these white kitsune-masks

We all know she would be a good fit for this skin line but I tend to block her out of any skin choices till she’s at least waited a year for a new skin Like that’ll ever happen*[zombie-nunu-bummed]*

They might skip a year, only do Chromas, or do 1 or two. That seems to be a developing pattern, as there were no Pool Party Skins last year, but they did release chromas for them.

the thing is that it might have been simply a coincidence that we got skins from this skinline in the same month 2 times in a row,since the skinline came out at irregular intervals

How? Why?

Her attitude and body language would mesh pretty well with a geisha archetype when it comes to dresses, for example she could wear a short yukata.

Additionally, the Bloodmoon skin line is highly inspired by japanese monsters and ghosts (yokai and yurei). No idea if you know it, but there is a legend in japan about the kuchisake-onna. This ghost is usually hiding her face with a cloth mask (nice parallel to the Bloodmoon masks), because her mouth is slit wide open underneath. I would just change it to give the mask a stilistic slit open mouth instead, game for 12 yo and stuff.

Nowadays, the kuchisake-onna is also usually pictured with scissors. Which would work great for Camille, you could make her legs each one half of a scissor.

In that skin line, Camille would probably fit in the demon trope (like Talon) or the priestess trope (like Elise). Meaning that she is either fully possessed by that ancient ghost or just sharing her body with it. I don't see a reason why she wouldn't fit into the organisation when it comes to lore.

I don't like the concept of the kuchisake-onna for Camille, and I especially don't like trying to put her in an eerie Japanese spirit themed skin line that has a modern pair of scissors as her legs. That sounds like a goofy combination that would kill any seriousness. The kuchisake-onna isn't widespread enough to be a good homage in a videogame, because very, very few people would actually get it or understand it. Besides, none of the other spirits/oni are particularly tied to a specific yokai or folk story, so it wouldn't fit if Camille was either.

I am, however, open to the idea of her wearing a short yukata, as well as being decorated as one of the priestesses, or even the head priestess. I think there's a lot of potential there, especially with her ultimate, where we can have her using traditional Japanese binding charms to make the corners of her ultimate.

No one said anything about modern scissors, you know. Scissors as a tool were invented way in the past, they are not a modern thing. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--ZKSWqe9a--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/ywckof5nie2xi7qnsjoq.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/42/Scissors_%28Jian%29_with_Clouds_and_Floral_Scrolls_LACMA_M.2003.14.jpg

Scissors are actually way less modern than, for example, Jhins rifle.

About the fact that the kuchisake-onna is too unknown for a homage... Elise could be a homage to the jorougumo, the woman-spider, which is another yokai from Japanese folklore. So I thought kuchisake-onna could qualify as well.

But we can at least agree that Camille would be a great addition to the Bloodmoon, right? [sg-ahri-2]

I do agree that she'd be fantastic for the skin line. If she looked anything similar to how human Elise looks, I'll be sold.

Bloodmoon mode will be out in 8.3 along with the Lunar Revel. They may give us Bloodmoon skins in 8.4 but who knows, could be a theme they took the year off from much like Pool Party last year. We just have to wait and see as 8.4 starts up on PBE next week.

WAD file hints though on upcoming content leave us with mainly J4, Teemo, Heimer and Sona getting something soon, so I'd say we could see Sona and Teemo Bloodmoon if they were to do that, cause they are the only ones out of that set I feel would really fit that theme.
