New Splash Arts Problems

This batch is really awesome! Most of it are good improvements, but the big problem is and as everyone sees it is usually the "head part". Before I talk about them I just wanna say that, you the "artists" did great and thank for all these Splash Arts that you have been giving us these past weeks. As I said the Splash Arts are great but there are also many downs about it that a lot of players/fans will not like.

As you can see the main problem seems to be the face/head part, for example the Ahri one, now it's a very beautiful piece but it doesn't look like Ahri. This is Ahri, she has a more rounder and approachable very different from the new one, also Ahri is an Asian based/themed Champion as the Nine-tailed Fox is Japanese/Korean myth, she looks rather more western than of her current one and in the Cinematics and other art. Janna, Wukong, Talon and Kayle also have similar problems, Janna's Art is actually really nice and I actually like it, but where is this Janna more playful and feminine face, As for Talon the Art is probably one of the best in the batch, but once again it's the head part that ruins it, his hood looks oddly big and what is that aluminum foil? His face is also very awkwardly long on his new Splash. For Kayle and Wukong theirs aren't bad, but probably 2 of the worst in all of the new Splash arts not only are their head parts the problem it's also the quality of the Art Kayle's is way too blurry and does not fit in the batch, Wukong's face looks very unfitting and looks like he can't decide wether to smile or not also his coloring is way too exaggerated, still good art it could be better though.

On the whole the skins look great, especially Shen and Zilean who both look incredible.

I also agree with the Ahri, Janna, and Wukong face complaints, none of them look like the characters that we have grown to know over the past several years.

But the biggest problem I have is with the Ezreal skin, his face makes him look more like an unfeeling killing machine than the recent Sion remake. His eyes look dead and his expression makes him appear as if he is enjoying the pain that he is inflicting on his opponents, and that isn't Ezreal. This is Ezreal Ezreal, a cocky but friendly champion who loves to go exploring in order to find relics of ancient civilizations and who is ecstatic about being able to use magic. He is not an engine of destruction who lives to inflict pain and death upon his enemies.
