I want to challenge you to redesign Seraphine, a “what if they focused on her runeterra form first” design. Heck you can even change her entire lore and where she comes from if you needed to.

Can we just talk about how amazing he is??
A brand new, experimental rendering design
Three gorgeous characters
Several pieces of art for each of them
And all of it done in less then a week??
Mad respect my guy

The visual effect for Tahm’s skin makes it look like it’s just mouths all the way down, forever.

[verticaltoast]

This new style of coloring really reminds me of jess jackdaw's artstyle, and I am loving it!

[daltondaily]

I like how if that Fiddlesticks skin was real, he'd basically always be staring at the player themselves. Fourth wall breaking, Psycho Mantis style. Spooky.

[ruiribeiro]

I need pizza delivery Aurelion Sol, imagine his big Q XD

[BlitzAssault]

I like how the necklace on Fiddlesticks skin design looks a lot like the Millenium items from Yugioh, with the iconic golden eye. Dont know if that was intentional or not :)

[UnfinishedHw]

I think another great addition to this "skin line" would be kindred, and Evelyn. since both of them are from the same time period as tahm kench, and fiddle. Kinda bringing all the lore together from the real legends of runeterra lore into this separate universe. Personally, I didn't think Camille fit this skin line, but it still looked amazing

[Essentially_Nobody]

The first skin kinda looks like it had something to do with the phyrexian, since it looks like it has phyrexian mana symbol on the forehead, as well the elesh norn neck parts.

[Pokemichael]

Ngl your Tahm Kench design gave me major guzzlord vibes. I’d love to see more of these cuz it’s always a blast seeing new designs for characters

[connormunro]

The whole eyeless thing, is Lissandra.

[dracozz]

If you need suggestions on what to add to the skin line, here are a few ideas
-Yorick (his kit would synergize with the eldritch horror theme very well IMO)
-Lissandra (gave me similar vibes cause of her head shape)
-Kayn
-Malzahar (If you can't tell, I like eldritch horror and minions)

[painterpikachu]

The first one reminded me of the Maykr Angels from Doom Eternal with the headcrest and all.

Sometimes when I do art, when I reach a certain point, I get this feeling of excitement and euphoria because it just looks so good. And while I was watching the drawing for Tom Kench's top-down model, I got a similar feeling because it looked amazing.

Watching TB Syken’s shorts about the character designs in League of Legends inspired me to come up with my own League OC, a butterfly turned humanoid and made sentient by feeding on a flower corrupted by Void magic, now she drains people, animals, and plants of life energy. I’m watching this video to come up with more ideas about how to design her.

[hybridnightshade]

I used to draw a lot in school, but since then I haven't done really anything. So this year I set my mind to learning it again (mainly for a hobby and not a job). I bought a pen display and have started learning. Haven't done anything but a few tattoo designs my friends have asked me to try. I'm going to get skill share and really start learning all I can in my free time. I'm a line art guy as well, and while I would love to venture into new forms, I think I will stick to line art till I get to where I was with it or better. Also, I'm a huge league fan too so watching these videos is always a great time, Loved these designs.

[AngryTheGnome]

This skins are actually real cool, and I kinda want them in game.

[donovan]

I was legit looking for what to watch next as I draw, and then you popped up.
Thanks!

I haven't spent money on lol in years but I would buy your skins in a heartbeat. I love Lovecraftian stuff
