[Riot Art Contest] - Fallen Knight Lucian

cybuster

I'm going to combine the designs of Thresh with Lucian. I figured it would be a cool to imagine if Lucian was possessed by Thresh. It was really hard to make a decision on which champion to do, let alone what skin. What was even harder was choosing a champion that hasn't been done to death. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do a Vi, Jinx, Riven any time of day. Then I thought, hey, why not combine two champions and that's when I started fiddling around with some back story for this skin:

Lucian was finally about to get his revenge on Thresh for what he did to his wife, Senna. Before he could deal the final blow, Thresh quickly thought up of a last ditch effort to give himself a new lease on life and a way to remind Lucian of the humiliation he was about to face. With his new body, Thresh can continue spreading despair across the Shadow Isles.

well, CC would greatly be appreciated as I'm still going to continue drawing concept. I'll probably start the mesh, if not sooner, during the weekend. I might change the name of the skin if I (or someone) can come up with a better title. :thumbup:

Concept I'm going with:

Wow, what a cool idea! I really like how you have a story behind your skin. Lucian's a really plot-driven character and combining him and Thresh is a great way to come up with a creative skin as well as tell a cool story. You could even come up with cool elements for in-game phrases -- maybe he hears Senna's and Thresh's voice in his head while he plays matches? I kind of like the idea that maybe he's gone mad with power but still retains his love for Senna and has that connection to Thresh. It's cool to think about.

As for the actual design, good job! I think that it could use a little more Thresh though -- maybe he has the lantern somewhere, or souls floating around him? More of a nod that this is both Lucian and Thresh is what I'm suggesting.

Overall, this is a really good idea and I really wish you luck with it!

Wow, that really made my day, thanks pizzapality! Don't you worry, I'm currently working of a design for one of Lucian's guns based off Thresh's lantern. I was originally going to have him with one pistol and the other with a floating lantern but a friend of mine (who plays a lot more LoL than I do) suggested I change it to a pistol. So his two guns will be a broken version of Senna's pistol (might just keep it as is, still thinking) and a Thresh pistol. The gauntlets were going to be Thresh's gauntlets but changed it so he has his own. Might change it to the Thresh one if the new gauntlets I made here don't work out.
