Would evelynn work with any major skin theme now?

While Evelynn's rework certainly gives her a lot of new options for skins, I can see a number of things working for it but not any of the holiday lines.

In the past people have asked for this but I don't see Christmas Evelynn working at all now. In the past a holiday skin might have worked as an alternate flavor, but I just don't see it now. Going for a krampus motif is probably too obscure so that's not an option. Also she's not a dude, so there's that. A generic snow-day skin might work, she puts some clothes on and her tentacles are part of a scarf, but that's not the same theme as a naughty elf or whatever people had in mind before. It wouldn't sound the same or have the same appeal.

Her base skin is a harrowing skin by default, so it's not like that's an option if riot wants to go holiday.

Pool party wouldn't make sense and evelynn is now naked and putting on poll attire is too close to her base theme. She's basically in a shadow bikini all the time now. Riot doesn't make pool party anymore ether so this is more of a stretch.

If star guardian is riot's new summer line, I don't see that working on evelynn because her base skin works as a foe for star guardians.

Don't get me wrong guys, I love the skins team and frankly I think they are riot's most consistent high quality group, but I just don't really see any of riot's current theme lines working on the new evelynn.

Dionisio Oliveira made a pretty sexy design for a Dragon Sorceress Eve.

as well as some of the other skin series in League so far, such as Project, Arcade and even Pool Party. So anything is possible. You just have to be creative. She's got a lot of potential for some incredible skins now, from 975 to 1820.

Blade Queen Evelynn. Dark Star Evelynn. Academy Evelynn. Program Evelynn.

These aren't, admittedly, holiday skins, but there are plenty of skin lines available for her to join.

I really don't see "obscurity" as a reason not to make a Krampus Eve, tbh. Santa's Littlest Demon has been featured a lot in media in recent years, and for those who don't know, it's an excellent opportunity for them to learn. As you said, though, she could also work well with Snow Day.

Wouldn't be the first time champs with a horror motif have gotten a Harrowing skin, either Fiddlesticks Maokai Hecarim Nocturne

Also yeah they skipped this year but did they confirm Pool Party was done? I was under the impression it was a good moneymaker.

Dragon priestess eve sound cool as she would fit in with zyra theme

Dark Star would be soooo dope!!

If they can make Ori into a Dark Star they could definitely do one for Ev.

Program or Project Evelynn(or some other sci-fi-theme) would easily work,giving her a cyber camouflage-bodysuit.

Blade Queen also would fit rather well with Eves spikes,though it is far from a "major" skin theme.

Bloodmoon also sounds like a good possibility,just imagine Eve wearing the mask similar to Akali and Elise(so that it doesn't cover her face) and then she puts it on when she enters her demon form.

Also just because they skipped over pool party this year doesn't mean that the skin line is dead. After all they did that already once in 2014. And the same obviously goes for any skin line that was skipped once.

Hey, do you know those Halloween costumes that go like "sexy - "? Such as sexy werewolf, sexy zombie, sexy vampire, sexy witch, etc.

Well, that's how it would be with Evelynn. Just add "sexy". Sexy Star Guardian, sexy Super Galaxy, sexy Blood Moon, etc.

Easy.

Dark Star.

Imho Eve could work with all skin themes of the following champs:

Leblanc Elise Cassiopeia

A few that come to mind:

Dragon Sorceress Neon Strike PROJECT Blade Queen/Bladecraft Void Heartseeker

I'm still pissed Kayle got the Pentakill skin (which actually just looks horrible) and not Eve (which had so much potential to look amazing). It's one of those things where I want her to have the skin, but I don't want Pentakill to get oversaturated like Guardian of the Sands, Project, or Star Guardians have :'-(

How is riot done with pool party skins? They did a batch not too long ago?

Pool Party.... she puts more clothes on.

Sonasaurous2/8/2018, 1:38:37 PM1 votes

I mean...they could probably make a Halloween skin for her, though that might be a little to close to home. I imagine they could do a winter skin for her, giving her ice effects that would translate pretty easily into her kit (such as...ice spikes...I know it's nothing new to the game, but it would work).

Like other people mentioned, Dark Star would work very well with Evelynn...but the purple color scheme would also, arguably, be a little too close to home (regardless, I'm ALL FOR IT, like I can already imagine the galaxy effects on her...tentacle claw things?)

I personally would love an Arcade skin for Eve, or like Neon Strike. Mostly just because I would love the brighter colors on Eve, even though they wouldn't match her thematically. But like, skins are supposed to be alternate universes anyway. So, 10 out of 10, would buy Arcade Evelynn, especially with "K.O." effects.

i disagree.

you can ALWAYS make a skin fit regardless of theme. that's rule number 1 of art. next to practice practice practice and do the unthinkable.

never limit your options. if you can think it it can be done. that's literally the definition of creativity.

For some reason looking at the SSW Skin line up, I kinda see Evelynn fitting well with her lashes in particular. But other than that I don't really see her fit any famous skin theme's...

Star Guardian Villain Eve would be great

Wrathof30010/8/2017, 9:03:27 PM1 votes

A Snow day Evelynn would turn out better than any Christmas Evelynn could, imo. Gatekeeper Evelynn would make a great Harrowing/ Halloween skin.

BleupizZ10/8/2017, 11:20:35 PM1 votes

I'm Evelynn main and I have full list of ideas for skins that can work with the new Evelynn for example :

-Bloodmoon Evelynn -Project Evelynn -Halloween Evelynn -Academy Evelynn -Void Evelynn -Xmas Evelynn -Headhunter Evelynn -Pentakill Evelynn -Bilgewater Evelynn

What do you mean christmas eve wouldn't work? you could make her lashes into toy soldiers wielding spears and in shadow form they could be corrupted nightmare versions, Q could be Ice spikes, W could be a missile toe ect ect.

Sand dancer eve shadowfire eve flame queen eve News reporter eve that covers murders. Tentacle eve, Space Alien eve. Temple priestess eve.
