I am totally in love with everything related to Jhin. He is - in my opinion - the best champion riot has ever released (thematically). But I did notice an oopsie on Riot's part when it came to his splash art and in-game model. On the Blood Moon Jhin splash art it depicts Jhin holding Whisper in his left hand, with the barrel extension in his right. And it also shows the bracket for his 4 Ultimate Cannon rounds on his left shoulder. Which would be fine if it wasn't on his right shoulder on his in-game model, and on both other skins. Maybe we can bring this to Riot's attention and have it patched the next time they roll out new splash lines? (Which, by the way, what happened to that? It just stopped out of nowhere...) Bonus - The "Mind of the Virtuoso teaser also shows the bracket on his left shoulder instead of his right, but I figured it is a benign error, and it's a lot harder to fix an entire animation compared to a piece of still art

that's because the splash is flipped to better accommodate the champion profile page when viewing it in the client

A lot of splash arts are flipped because of the client, which makes a lot of champs holding their weapons on the wrong hands or pieces of their clothing is on the wrong side. This has been a recurring thing since League of Legends was a baby.

Some examples: Master Yi is holding his sword with his right hand in the splash art but he's a leftie in-game (so is Kayle, Poppy, etc), Order of the Lotus Karma's shoulder pad is on her right shoulder when it's on the left in-game (so is Blood Moon Jhin, and many more I'm too lazy to look over).

There's also lots of details left out in-game from the splash arts too like Wolf's mask missing his ears from the Kindred splash art and Winter Wonder Karma's shoulder tattoos is missing in-game.
