The kids aren’t from Sett and Soraka. I had a neat idea of Sett opening an Orphanage in honor of his mother for little vastayas which became parentless after all the wars and conflicts. Him and Soraka take care of the kids and try to give them better lives.
Well... until...
It all ends.
feeling nostalgic and I was going through my League account. so I'm sharing some of my fav splash arts cause I feel like it and I think they deserved to be appreciated and outside the League of Legos playerbase
I don't think it's much of a hot take to say that Porcelain is Kindred's least beloved skin. But for me, the real problem with the skin has nothing to do with the half-mask or the theme of the skin line, it's the technical failure of the design to account for Lamb's model and animations.
Lamb in her base form has a fairly animalistic anatomy, especially her neck is thickened with fur to turn it into a smooth fall into her shoulders and arms, which in turn are quite long and stretchy to accomodate her bow.
Her animation, similarly, is often quite exaggerated and animalistic, which works with the way she's designed. Above you can see her stretching her neck unnaturally to look around her, but it doesn't look like it's breaking her entire anatomy, unlike the... unfortunate thing that happens to Porcelain Lamb up in the video up there.
Which is where the comparison with Spirit Blossom Lamb comes in - because even though she, too, is a human (or human-ish) version of Lamb, her design incorporates big furry shoulder pieces, scarves and big hair that helps to do the job of smoothing over the things that would make Lamb's animation read as uncanny if they were applied directly to a human anatomy.
Even her robes and suit helps to do this, obscuring how lanky and lengthened Lamb's limbs are just enough for her animation to read... not perfectly, when viewed up close the way we're doing here (remember, all League of Legends animation is designed to be viewed zoomed-out and from above), but well ENOUGH not to sound any Uncanny Valley alarm bells.
Porcelain Lamb's shoulder looks entirely dislocated when she's running fast, because there's nothing to smooth the transition from Lamb's elongated shoulder anatomy into the arms, and it makes her look like a distended rubber doll being deformed weirdly.
Porcelain Lamb was created without appropriate concern for how the skin would read when applied to the model and animations of the actual champion, and it shows. Porcelain is generally disliked for a number of reasons, but because of the way I am as a person, this is the issue that ruins it for me.
It’s closer in color scheme to blood moon, so let’s just go with that. Making wolf and lamb inhuman in different ways is so fun. I love monster features and masked/ abstract faces. Lamb’s fur being a puffy cloud was nice, it helps soften the image from wolf’s freaky little eye.
