Riot, you can't update the in-game model and leave the splash art the same; it doesn't fit anymore.

Jeddy0175 votesYou know,this Nid skin isn't the only skin in the game with this problem.
A number of skins' splash art are bad & inconsistent with the in-game model due to this thing called "Giving the champ & all their skins an update without updating the splashes of the skins".I mean just look at the splashes of some of 
& 
skins then compare them to the current in-game model.
Riot could certainly do a lot more to update the splashes of skins.But they're focused on updating the base splash art before updating skins splash art right now.Hopefully,once they're done with the outdated base splashes they'll move on to updating skins' splash art.
But it's gonna take a while because Riot let this issue stack up because of the number of VUs they produce with how little they update skins' splash art.In my memory,they only time they updated splash art for skins was the Pentakill update last year & the recent update to 
's Jack of Heart skin.Pentakill was because it came with the album while Jack of Heart was because of the Card skins' release.They still have a lot of work to do in terms of skins' splash art updates & it's only gonna get harder from here.
Riotmoonstones5 votesHey RobinTheLegend,
The splash team has been working on updating older splash art - most recently you've seen a new base Anivia splash! :D
Jeddy0171 votesCertainly can't wait for the splash team to start updating old skin splash art that don't match the in-game model.
darkdill3 votesThat was only for Anivia's Classic skin, but as for other skins like the aforementioned Maid Nidalee, nothing's happened or is even hinted at.
I take it your splash team only wants to focus on classic splashes and not skin splashes?
Riotmoonstones2 votesWe usually don't hint at what may or may not be coming up due to internal timelines changing. This goes for a lot of our content, not just splash.
We realize there are still some splash art that's outdated - both base and skins. We're not opposed to changing outdated skin splash art by any means.
darkdill1 votesMaybe you could suggest changing Spellthief Lux's splash art to the Chinese version as a gesture of goodwill? Or if that's not good enough, give it something completely new.
Going with the Chinese version would be a lot easier than making a completely new splash, and I imagine could be implemented really quickly.
Riotmoonstones2 votesIt's certainly worth bringing up! (I'm on the skins team, but I can pass this feedback on). I'm personally fond of the Chinese Spellthief Lux splash.
Kobold1 votesIts worth mentioning that Riot said they would be updating the non classic skin splash art over a year ago now.
And not one has been updated unless it was part of a set.
Jeddy0171 votesI thought it was said they would update skins' splash once they're done with all the base splash.
They're nowhere near done yet.
Kobold1 votesWe have what like 10 done in the last year? I'm not sure if I remember correctly but I believe they said they planned to have them all done in a year.
Jeddy0171 votes
These are those I recall being updated in the last year.Some own their own & some with VUs.
Kobold1 votesWhoa thats way more than I remember, maybe I have just gotten so used to them by now I don't really notice them anymore. good catch sorry about that.
Still a long way away from finishing tho and then after that they have ALL the older skin splashes so could be nearly 4 years which is why people are upset by it.
ExecutorDill1 votesI'm here for shen <3
GreenLore1 votesCould you also take a look at Phantom Karthus? I mean he doesn't even closely resemble his current splash art This is his current splash art: http://apollo-na-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1400696605909/Karthus_PhantomSkin.jpg
This is his model: http://media-titanium.cursecdn.com/attachments/57/615/karthus1.png
But he looks a lot like his chinese splash art: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110215010511/leagueoflegends/images/8/87/Karthus_PhantomSkin_Ch.jpg The resemblance might not be perfect,but its a million times better than his current splash art.

But Nidalee's specifically were promised to be updated around when she got her VU... This was a long long time ago.

Hey RobinTheLegend,
The splash team has been working on updating older splash art - most recently you've seen a new base Anivia splash! :D
Anivia looks badass in the splash but still looks like clay in-game. Are there any plans to touch her up a little?
Riotmoonstones2 votesAt the moment, we don't have VU plans for Anivia.
DwarvenGiant1 votesCan you please say if you have any VU plans for Nunu (& Willump!)? :>
I mean, he has the same case as Anivia, only he looks even crappier (at least IMO) in game.
Riotmoonstones1 votesI actually don't know what's further down the VU pipeline, other than what's listed on the Champion Update page - it's something Champion Update would handle, not Skins. D:
DwarvenGiant1 votesCan you please ask them about that or at least ask them if they can hop on to this thread and answer it themselves? c:
Riotmoonstones1 votesWe won't be disclosing information about what's coming super down the line. The Champion Update Schedule will show what's coming, and we've already made mention that we'll be working on Poppy and Taric as well.
The Pale Woman1 votesDo you have any information about the Miss Fortune Visual Update? If you could disclose if the update will fix her moldy licorice hair, that would be great! It doesn't match her new splash! 
Riotmoonstones1 votesUnfortunately, nothing aside from she'll be getting a minor visual update, as listed on the Champion Update Schedule. (My team doesn't handle updates of champions/skins - just new content.)
Riotmoonstones1 votesUpdate!
You can find out more abnout her update (and take a look at her new splash and model) here. :]
GreenLore3 votesNo one has it worse than Phantom 
Not only is the splash art extremely ugly by todays standards,but the skin looks nothing like the splash art.
Even worse,the skin now looks almost exactly like the chinese version yet they didn't exchange the splash arts....
GhostOfShrimpmas1 votesCame here to say this. The skin doesn't even have the same general theme as the splash art. It's about as similar as Warring Kingdoms Nidalee is with French Maid Nidalee's splash art.
PhantomGG2 votesI feel League players honestly have no clue how long it takes to draw a legitimately good painting that fits the character while trying to please your dictator boss at the same time while companies also have to now find the money and decide if they pay the artist by commission or by hour.
The Pale Woman2 votesIt's pretty standard if they can update the model to just get a new splash along with it, it probably costs like 30 bucks in commissions; besides they have a concept art department...
darkdill2 votesI think Riot stated in the past that they're not going to bother updating those splash arts because it takes too much time and resources that need to be spent on new content.
I question why they don't just commission an artist or two from Deviantart or someplace like that.
Aproxima2 votesActually I believe in one of the earlier massive visual updates, they promised that they'd redo the skin splash arts for the champs that are receiving complete visual rework. Like I said, I'm not really sure, but I recall something along those lines when Nidalee's visual rework/update was actual.
...Riot's broken promises
Solidair32 votesThey've talked about this in the past, it's possible this information has changed BUT: The plan at the time of the announcement was that they planned to update ALL of the out-of-date base splashes (your anivias) but, due to the time it takes to make a splash as well as the size of the art team that works on splashes (it is not large) the skins splashes (your french maid nidalees) would be worked on after a full run through of base splashes. However... since our last BIG splash art update, all we've gotten is the anivia splash update, I'm wondering what's taking so long...
And then when that's done, the number of skins splashes GREATLY out numbers the number of base splashes in the game, so I don't really know how they plan to tackle that.
Matezoide1 votesMeanwhile every Trundle skin before he got changed into an Ice Troll.
