his SFX Style is one of the best in the game tho.

Especially the cards and the Ult are very japanese-ish. bye bye wallet.

I hope he has cool cards, but judging by katey's PBE post he only has a new ult eye and card sounds. :(

The 3 cards are really cool and have similar japanese-ish signs on it. It's all pretty and stuff :>

Did you guys base the mask off Reaper? If so, that's fine, but I don't care because I'm lovin' it.

It started off a combination of a chinese-fantasy version of a greek helmet with elements of an owl mixed in. I feel like the big eyes of an owl watching down on the evening was appropriate for TF as it ties in to his ultimate. As it evolved and I did a stack of versions there were of course comparisons to Reaper (and Amon) made but it wasn't an intentional thing and at the end we made efforts to ensure we weren't too close.

Besides I'm a Roadhog main, Reaper can eat it :P

Jeez, you guys really go all-in with these designs.

I can't imagine ever working that hard on anything except yesterday when I had to search up an image and draw a muscular back for a character.

Haha! We get a few weeks to develop a concept for a champion and we think players deserve the best skins we can possibly make so we go ham every day.

I really like it, but am not a fan of all the blue. Why not purple or something closer to the rest of the skin line? Was there a specific reason that makes sense? The colour choice makes me appreciate the skin less, at is feels out of place when you line up all the skins together. And why the blue eyes too? I would at least hope for a chroma in the not-so-distant future :P

The same goes for Jhin with his green cloth and belt. I have left some suggestions here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/GnnQi0u5-make-blood-moon-skins-blood-red-again

The material is intended to be black, but we put a lot of colour into neutral tones to match the way SR is painted.

I don't see that, not when there are a lot of champions with dark grey and black textures, and when both Blood Moon TF and Blood Moon Jhin have black pants. I will be brutally honest with you: the colours of both skins clash so hard with the rest that I won't buy the skins, and I was pleased when I heard Jhin and TF got BM skins. It annoys me that much... You don't deliver on the theme when you go so far away from the theme's colour palette. You might as well colour a Battlecast skin in neon pink and try the same argument. It will have the design of a Battlecast skin, but the colours of a Neon Strike or Galaxy skin.

I am not saying that the skins are bad, but I am saying that I am extremely disappointed with your decision to make both the Jhin and TF skins stand out like that. Your argumentation is poor when you take other skins in consideration (not trying to be rude, just stating it as it is).

Purple is closer to black and stays with the theme, and you can get a real badass TF with some changes: http://i.imgur.com/3uRSIOv.png

  • The cape is now red only
  • Purple instead of blue
  • Red eyes

The purple could be made even darker: http://i.imgur.com/h2LGf9p.png

Why change the eyes to blue? TF looks so friendly and festive with all the bright colours... He is only a clown mask away from a Lunar Revel skin.

I am sorry if I come off as rude - it is but my passion for these skins - and I wish that you pay more respect to the themes you have set than to move them in other directions. I do not think my message would be as clear if I sugarcoated it.

Thanks for taking the time to chat with the community :)

Nope, not yet. Just Diana and Twisted Fate.
