For Clarity when you look at the files I'm only looking at the new splashes that are in the PBE I have both copy's of the default splashes that riot made and then my two edited pictures. also as a note i blew up the pictures to 1080p so it was easier to edit.

I am not a art major pls don't get mad if you don't like it.

I edited the newer splash from riot by editing her Eye that was closest to her ball by adding the red ?eyeshadow? and fixing the quality of the eye so you know where it is looking... also i changed the lighting a little it didn't seem bright enough on her face. It was lighting her leg better and that was farther away. This is its own picture.

Then i took my edits and then crudely overlapped it with the old splash (Because I didn't like how the face was shaded and her face's bone structure didn't change so it was easy to blend the two) personally the face looked grumpy and not welcoming which is not close to her personality. Seriously just look at the face, riot put some lens blur that zoomed things in on the newer image and i didn't feel like fixing it/reverting it. So dont complain about how it doesn't blend correctly.

Criticism is always good Not just for me, get you ideas out to Riot!

Hope my ideas get reflected on the PBE :D

The faceblend IS THE BEST VERSION OF HER FACE SO FAR! You sir, are good stuff. That is beautiful and should absolutely be done. It's easily the best. Fantastic work.

I think her face looks best in the blend, though everything else is a little trippy (I guess this is what you mean by "crude").

The changes you made weren't necessary per se, but interesting to see. In my opinion, the original splash art has Ahri looking a bit more "alluring", for lack of a better word. Your changes made her expression seem distant, more or less. Not exactly easy putting this into words, but your work isn't bad.

Sorry for being slightly incoherent. I'm not an art major either lol.

This is really good work. I'm still going to say the splash art we have on the live servers is the best version, but what you've done is fantastic.

I think the changes make her look better than the old ones

Honestly, Ive seen splash so many times I ended up liking it after I looked at it so much edit after edit, regardless of small mistakes because she is Ahri and I love her, Ahri will always be perfect. I figured the only thing wrong with the December Ahri splash is that her eyes aren't facing you(Tsundere Ahri, hehe) and her chin is weirdly drawn.

Ahri Heres are my edits if anyone wants to take a look at them

crude face blend makes me think of motion blur. Motion blur hurts my eyes. This hurt my eyes. Ow. My eyes.

The faceblend is murdering my eyes as we speak.

8/8

Ahh you did fantastic! You really do highlight the fox-like features of her face finely. It shows her lingering feral-ness from being a kumigho (kitsune, or ninetailed fox). Yeah... your splash really does dominate the Riot one. Brilliant execution.Caitlyn Hats off for you my friend ;p It really does show character.

  • Also the face blend really shows emotion, you can see the hint of allure and a spark of foreign innocence, besides the blur, it is beautiful in the way you edited it. Love the art you did! I also draw too, do you have a Deviantart or tumblr or any other art page?

Ty guys for your input!

The blend is what I think is the best edit. The other one you did is barely noticeable.

That said, if you can figure out how to fix the issue effecting the area around ahri, that would be a finished piece and I would have no complaints.

now seriously, I doubt people are complaining for a small tweak on one eye... or a small face change or even body shape, they just happen to not like change, your edits were too subtle to see them without hard comparison (which I did) or pointing out what you changed, they were well done but imho unnecessary.
