Irelia reskinned
polycounter lvl 9
Taking the stock Irelia skin, I am looking to make a more dynamic splash with a few changes to better describe her character. Suggestions and criticisms appreciated.
League Judgement:
Changes include:
The original leg plating would inhibit the agile Irelia's ability to flex, let alone move. In its place a more practical plate covers the front of her leg, and the original pattern is accomplished with the armor straps binding her cloth pants.
She is an Ionian general, armored bras do not seem fitting for her character. She now has a chest plate that will offer suitable protection.
In Irelia's league judgement, she is described as putting no effort into her appearance (aside from her well polished armor <= IMPORTANT DETAIL). This differs from her current splash which gives her quite a bit of make up, and thus will be removed.
The description also mentions the useful spark in her eye being tarnished by battle. Furthermore, she is similar to a lich, which is not apparent in her current design. To emphasize this, the final rendering will give her a paler complexion and cold, "dead" eyes. As a nod to her connection to Soraka a faint outline of a star may be placed over her iris'.

OBSERVATION
An enormous four-pronged blade parts the air for Irelia as she enters the Great Hall. The unusual weapon, once owned by her father, hovers unaided two meters above the ground. Irelia follows it apathetically, her mind focused on the task at hand. Aside from her pristine armor, which is polished dutifully for presentation, Irelia puts no effort into her appearance. Her face is seen only in glimpses behind her swaying hair. She's young, though the youthful spark in her eyes is tarnished with the blood of the battlefield.
She maintains a bold presence, fitting for the captain of the Ionian guard. Despite bearing the responsibility of Ionia's safety, her shoulders are as square and resolute as her Mantle of Decorum - Ionia's highest decoration. The capricious sword darts ahead of her to the marble doors, halting beneath the inscription. There it shivers imperceptibly, emitting a high-pitched whine. Whether because of apprehension or excitement, it is unclear. Irelia, expressionless, passes it and walks into the blackness.

Armor on head and blade need adjustments, and additional blades and crest need to be added before final cleanup and detailing and background art can begin.
