New Ahri Splash, Tweaked

I'm sorry to clutter the forums with even more of these topics. I saw another topic with tweaks and I had my own version of the tweaked splash to post. Hopefully that's okay - if not, again, I apologize.

So, most of the complaints about the new splash relate to the fact it doesn't look much like old Ahri. I tweaked her face to be rounder, the whiskers more pronounced, the eyes to go back to the old Asian feel and the lips to be closer to the original. I also tweaked her hands, because proportions on the new splash seemed off to me, and made a small tweak to her left (our right) arm just below the hand. There are a couple of other things I'd have liked to tweak - the texture of the tails, the shape of the upper part of her dress - but those would be a lot more difficult without the original layers to work with.

Disclaimer: I'm an incredibly rusty artist. This is far from perfect. I do like the new splash, but since Lee Sin's was tweaked after many complaints, I figure it can't hurt to throw my voice in.

Attached files are the original and the tweaked version.

To me, the most off-putting aspect of Riot's new Ahri splash is the vibe of her eyes. They look ghostly and unfocused... maybe even slightly cockeyed.

I think both you and the other player that posted a tweaked version did a good job of fixing that issue. She looks sharper, more seductive, and truer to her original splash. I hope that Riot makes similar tweaks.

I'm pretty fine with the first one. I don't understand the facial edit, but the hands were right on.

I really like your more rounded face, the whiskers (Better than my edit if I'm honest!), and the hands are a lot better. Nice job. :)

I like Riot version's face and your version's hands.

I like your tweaked version a lot more. Although i don't think that it was nessecary for them to change the splash art in the first place. Riot seems to have this nasty habit of taking something and messing it up...just because they can. The cassi changes were a good example.
