Irelia Splash Art Feedback - Keep Kim Kardashian out of the game

I get that Riot is going for a brave, emotionally strong female character who is sexy, but come on.

I like the Frostbutt meme. I understand that Irelia's sexual appeal was preserved through the rework.

But why did you have to give her ridiculously inflated lips and make-up eyebrows? Her face reminds me so strongly of Kim Kardashian and KK is quite ugly IMO.

This is compounded by how her facial features in the other skin splashes (apart from Order of the Lotus) actually look normal, or are not egregiously unnatural.

My suggestions to fix the base splash so we aren't staring at KK during champ select or load screen:

  • Thin the lips a little bit. They currently look swollen, like she is slightly pursing them, going half-duckface.
  • Lower the eyebrow arch. A rare amount of women's eyebrows arch that high without plucking and alteration. The shadows beneath her eyebrows even show the path of her brow's ridge, and the eyebrows leap off of it, not naturally following its contour.
  • Give her eyebrows some texture. They look painted on, with make-up.

That's all really. I'm gonna hate seeing Irelia's base splash in-game if it stays the way it is, I don't feel like seeing Kim Kardashian whenever I play Irelia.

Also, the Aviator splash is really beautiful, and she is beautiful in it. The facial features she has going on there are what make me think of who Irelia is and what she embodies.

Thanks.

Nightblade and infiltrator look really nice

Frostblade looks like Lisa Rinna from the real housewives of Beverly Hills
