Riot mentioned this a while ago about Dark Star Kha'Zix - the Splash Arts are supposed to be dramatizations of the Skins to give people an idea what the thematic and fantasy of the skin is. The in-game model can't be 100% like the Splash Art, and it doesn't need to be.

The skin matches the splash and the splash gives characterization to the skin, so in-game, your mind can fill in the blanks as needed.

Besides, at what point during the course of a match are you really going to care about seeing freckles on a Champion's face?

I don't think Riot is ever gonna put that dork "AHHHHH" face onto the actual in-game model.

Though while I question that face looking as it is on the splash art, I do think it's pretty funny and that they should keep it.

I've been saying the same thing about Vlad for years.

They say Annie's Hair is Black and Blue, but I see White and Gold
