Can anyone (perhaps in riot?) tell me where the inspiration for victorious sivir's armor?

SolarPWNage··5 votes·3,220 views

when I saw her armor and it just seemed so familiar! I searched everywhere on the internet but i can't find it! I know I remembered seeing an armor like it somewhere on the web and it is really bothering me I can't find the image. if anyone can help find it. (pretty sure 99.99% none of you guys can find it...)

I know this is really random but I gotta know!

JL - "I didn't directly reference the armor off anything particular. I tried to merge Sivir's characteristic (utilitarian outfit) with the victorious concept(regal, ceremonial). The victorious concept for Sivir was influenced by Roman laurels motifs, art deco, Joan of arc, valkryie etc. I've also tried to incorporate elements that the previous victorious skins had, such as gems, gold, and the overall colors.

So in the end, she looks dressed for battle but also dressed as victorious champion."

It sounds like there was no direct reference for the armour, perhaps one exists coincidentally though?

Alright, I want to apologize for one thing To you KindleJack. Before I made this post, I kinda already... knew why and what image it looks familiar to.

I want to show you the concept art that I drew 3 month ago but published 2 months ago, also here is a link to a post i published on the boards two month ago. Now what I find strikingly familiar is my torso armor to Victorious Sivir's torso armor. When I first saw the Victorious Splash art I immediately got excited that perhaps a Riot artist (Johnathan Lee) perhaps took inspiration from my art and incorporated it into the splash art. My original purpose of this post was to find out if... perhaps it was inspired by my work, I didn't expected to get an answer so quickly that it in fact took me by surprise! I just want to thank you for your time and I just wanted to bring this up.

But in the end I guess he didn't take inspiration from my work like I hoped, that's fine and again thank you for your time.

They're both fairly typical armor designs. I don't see why they'd be inspired by yours in particular..

Exactly, Kobi! Both appear fairly standard. The average female armor design. I'd be really surprised if they got "inspiration" from that sketch.

Ah I see the similarities. Sorry we didn't see your artwork, but it looks really cool! Thanks for sharing >:D

The concept was done by Jonathan Lee, I'll ask him >:)

Wow! Thanks kindlejack! I really appreciate the help, btw if you can may it be possible to link me the images that inspired the armor when you contact Jonathan Lee?

Hey just an advice, in the model her "crown" looks really weird, it should be more adapted to her head shape, it makes her look odd and overly masculine.

If you are talking about the second art work, that is the official riot splash art. I found it at surrenderat20.net so you cab check it out there.

But if you are talking about the first ine, I'm not sure what you mean... It is based off if carthaginian/greek/Rakkor helmet. If its cool, can you explain what you nean.

Yes, I know it is based on a greek armor style, but it makes her look totally weird, it looks very different in the model, in the splash it looks really good.
