I'm actually a little disappointed, another circa 36-24-36 ish champ with a perfect hour glass figure with a c-d cup. She has that syndra feel being another 'dark queen'. I think the art looks good, but things are getting really repetitive in the female department. Hell, her torso part of her outfit feels like the last other few female regular or alternate skin outfits in appearance.

I would love to see some female monsters, or perhaps older women as mentioned before that have a level of badass-ness to them comparable to Malificent or Ursula... sadly the monarch-queen spots are taken by 18-30 some looking women. Glowy eyes, bust showing, 3 out of 4 showing belly button, 3 out of 4 offering hip, all pointing towards our left, all of them having gloves that go up bo near elbow to bicep.

Its sad that dollar$ influence the look of your characters this much, the whole argument that people hardly buy Gragas due to appearance bares weight, but at the same time upon seeing the spider queen, I found I rolled my eyes rather than raising my brow compared to the likes of Rengar and Kha'zix

Riot, more diversity please. I like the concept, but the execution lacks the wow factor.

Personally I really like his current splash art, or at least the ones for his basic, Gentleman, and BCP skins. But then again I am rather biased because Cho was the first champion I bought, and the first one I spent money to get RP for his skins. Of course, nothing is going to stop me from playing as him, I just wanted to voice my opinion on this matter.

Are you going to remake Annie's skins?

If so how high is she on priority list and how are you going approach her? recently you've been going bit more "sexy" with skins, which obviously wouldn't suit Annie that well ^^

I do believe you are getting your wish this Harrowing.
Hello! I have a few questions and I'm not sure if you can answer them or not, but this is my best chance. To start off, whatever happened to Dragonmaster Swain? That idea blew up last year and I think the thread is still going. I love Swain's lore so much, and before I took a break, I would only play him.

Secondly, are we ever going to see a new Yorick skin? He hasn't seen a new one since his release and he's quite viable and played a decent amount now.

This can't be repeated enough. Even putting aside the usual female champion design concerns, the fact that the designs are nearly carbon copies of each other should be downright embarrassing to Riot, and to every person who plays this game since Riot seems to think that players think the only aspects of female character design that matter are what and how little they're wearing and whether they have the same generic sexy body type. They are basically the same champion wearing (barely) different clothes.

Darius and Garen are more different from each other than the last 4 female champions are, and they're intentionally highly parallel champions. The only things keeping royal guard Fiora out of that compilation image are that her eyes don't glow and she's actually wearing reasonable clothing (though a cravat would've been more interesting for the skin than just more cleavage).

We have actually had quite a few interns! Many of them we have also hired. We have met quite a few people at conferences, mostly GDC. The neat thing about those conferences are we get a chance to interact with people, get to know them a bit, critique their work, etc.

I will admit that most of our interns are actually fast learners and making art on par with our full time employees. Or they are quickly after they start. That was not the goal, but I think we've been really lucky to get some awesome artists in. Pan, Bo, Brandon, Brian...these are all guys that are now helping us set the bar. We learn from them too...)
