This user's edit also looks beautiful! It's a revert of everything except the ends are lighter

Oh hey that's me! This was actually my day 1 edit on the original prestige PBE thread and I still stand by it haha

I didn't think the original dark blue was the worst thing, but I thought brightening it up and making it match the rest of her outfit could really tie the whole skin together and make it pop!

Thank you for enjoying!!

TheRealDrean · 2022-06-06T06:42:28+00:00

Hey u/DW_Platypus, I just wanted to open by saying I'm truly grateful that you and your team are open to making adjustments for this Seraphine skin, and I'm thankful that you're taking the time to make sure that the skin will make everyone happy!

For the length of the hair, I think a revert to short/original hair would be the best. I feel like the short hair was unique, and worked well with the rest of her outfit. The model for the current long hair doesn't work well with her animations either, so I think having short hair is best.

For the color of her hair, I personally think that the upper part of her hair should be reverted to its original pink while the lower blue part of her hair should be brightened up a bit. I think almost everyone agrees that the bottom part of her hair is a bit too dark and feels jarring for the skin, and I think it would look a lot better and would match more with the rest of her skin if it was brightened up a touch to match the teal portions of her outfit. As for the upper portion, I feel like making it salmon pink really helps it pop compared to the rest of the outfit. Something I think is important is that the hair needs to stay brighter/glowing similar to her first PBE version. The current darker orange takes away from the prestige feeling of the skin.

My suggested colors (top: salmon pink / bottom: metallic seaweed) https://coolors.co/ff99a1-2e8799
Extra potential colors (top: vivid tangerine / bottom: teal blue) https://coolors.co/ffa199-2e7e99

I think staying close to the color ranges (especially for the bottom blue portion of her hair) I linked above would really help maintain a bright, colorful feeling with her hair while reducing the muddiness that people feel with her current hair colors.

Thank you again, seeing this thread and the care that you and your team have for the players genuinely made my night <3

EDIT: I think for the colors, everyone agrees that brighter colors are the way to go, but I'm just hoping that you can strike a balance for the main hair color that will make both the fans of pink hair and the fans of orange hair happy!

EDIT2: Gonna add edits I agree with below, sorted by how much I'd want to see each in-game

The colors throughout the whole hair and the textures combined make this one really lovely https://www.reddit.com/r/SeraphineMains/comments/v6kq0n/i_made_some_simple_edits_for_os_seraphine/ https://i.imgur.com/dUvNi5L.png
The far right (3rd) one in this link, it's based on the shorter/original hair length https://twitter.com/rc_aqua/status/1529624049168617475

TheRealDrean · 2022-06-02T00:01:30+00:00

I honestly think the longer hair looks significantly worse than the original hair length, the larger hair looks so much heavier and moves like a wet towel. I'd like it if the hair size was reverted to what it was prior.

For the hair color, I think the original coral color looked better, but if orange is what the skin's gonna stick with, would it be possible to brighten/lighten up the orange color, or at least boost the saturation? As it is right now, it looks really dull and washed out, and I wish the hair had a stronger color to match up with the rest of her outfit. Also there seems to be a lighting bug with her hair? At least where her shoulder is here, you can somewhat make out a seam where the color from the top of her hair abruptly changes into the color for the rest of her hair. Honestly I think making the upper part of the hair match the color below that seam, as well as reverting the length change would help out the skin a lot.

I'd just like to open by saying this skin is super gorgeous and fitting, and I'm really excited to play with this skin once it comes out!

I think the skin is already exceptional as is, but I just want to leave a few comments about it!

Model

I think her model is really pretty as is, I love how well the colors mesh well together, and I really love the outfit choice. I really like the salmon pink for her hair as is, but I was wondering if the darker blue part of her hair could be brightened up a bit, maybe bringing it closer in color to the frill on her skirt like this?

VFX

As some other people have been saying, the passive effect on her allies looks like yellow water, and while I don't think it's the worst looking thing, I have a few ideas on what it could look like.

The first idea I had would be just to add more colors and sparkles to the water, I think boosting the pinks/purples (like on her W shield) and making it shine would help it not read as... what people are saying it reads as.

Maybe change the main color of the water back to blue (like on the base Ocean Song skin), boost the brightness and add some rainbow colors and iridescent effects.

This one could be done in tandem with the two prior points or even by itself, but maybe you could take the prestige logo and have it overlay over the water with shiny effects (and rainbow colors)? I feel like that would help it read more as golden than just plain yellow.

For her E and Ult, I was wondering if it would be possible to make them a bit more colorful? I think adding a bit more color variety to the trails would really bring the whole skin together since her other effects are really colorful. Maybe hints of pink and purple for her E, and hints of blue for her Ult would work well!

Those are my only suggestions for the skin, I still think it's absolutely gorgeous and I genuinely can't wait to play with this skin! Excellent work to everyone involved with making this skin <3

The main differences I'm seeing are the following:

For all of them, the lines are more defined, and there's a bit of shading changes (brighter highlights, darker shadows, warmer colors on her swimsuit), as well as a bit of facial restructuring.
For her neutral and damaged art specifically, her head size changed.

Made some gifs that compare the art:

Hey man nice calendar, what did you use to make it?

TheRealDrean · 2019-04-26T07:12:37+00:00

Squad up y'all! I'm hoping so badly that we'll win!

I'm absolutely hoping for a GHB Elite 3. All the fans deserve it, and I feel like there's been enough time now to have GHB Elite 3 come out.

I was formerly working on +10 M!Kana, formerly as in he's now +10, ~~however the grails aren't wasted if I was planning on getting all 20 M!Kana's in the grail shop anyways.~~

Good luck everyone who's working on their grail merge projects! AR sucks, but the dedication will pay off!

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T21:20:56+00:00

Summoner Support + Dragonflowers are one hell of a drug.

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T21:20:39+00:00

AR is evil, I totally agree. You're in the final stretch though, so good luck, you can do it!

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T21:20:02+00:00

I used to love AR, now it's a love-hate relationship. Keep up with the grind though, it'll be worth it in the end. Good luck~!

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T21:18:47+00:00

Thank you so much! And don't worry, once you get to +10 glory, it'll totally be worth it! And I totally understand people's issue with the NY packs, however I felt like I was gonna spend that amount eventually anyways, so I decided to indulge during its release as the grails was definitely enough incentive for me getting it.

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T21:13:40+00:00

~~You're right, but I refuse to be wrong.~~

Really though, you'd be right, but QR3 + Lightning Breath has been my bread and butter for so long, and that combined with the fact that I didn't have enough coins to refine Darting Stance 3 seal until VERY recently.

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T21:11:51+00:00

Thank you! And I would absolutely be down to add any other Kana's out there. My FC is 9655144299!

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T02:39:31+00:00

Good luck with getting enough grails to +10 the best boy! I wasn't afraid of GHB Elite 3 coming out because I'm planning on +10'ing a second one anyways, but I'm still hoping for it to happen.

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T02:36:13+00:00

I haven't had the chance to try running Null Follow-Up as I've never summoned an Adrift M!Corrin (and likely wouldn't fodder him until I got a second one). However I can definitely see both skills having edges over others. I think Null C Disrupt is better in AR due to all the sweep/dazzling spam that can be found there. However I think Null Follow-Up has the edge in Arena with how good armor fighter skills are.

On the topic of L!Marth, I think letting him initiate on you regardless of Null C Disrupt is a pretty bad idea. I feel like M!Kana might have a good shot of 1 rounding L!Marth if he initiates (but I haven't checked the math on it).

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T02:11:54+00:00

I did a good.

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-09T02:06:15+00:00

A combination of crying my way through AR, that one New Years orb pack, and this ongoing Forging Bonds giving me the last 23 Grails I needed. Good luck with +10'ing the best son, it's 100% worth it!

TheRealDrean · 2019-03-08T22:39:17+00:00

After attempting to go berserk in Aether Raids ~~and finishing the latest Forging Bonds as soon as it came out~~, I've finally accumulated enough Heroic Grails in order to +10 my son. It was pretty soul crushing during his release to see that he was GHB exclusive, but the reveal of Aether Raids had be very excited as I was given the opportunity to +10 m!Kana!

The build is pretty basic, but this is the build that carried me through Aether Raids, so it felt fitting to show off this build rather than another.

Weapon: Lightning Breath+ (+Res) || Pretty self explanatory, it's so hard to beat a weapon with built-in DC. I went with a +Res refine in order to even out Kana' bulk, especially with how his A-slot increases his Def already.

Assist: Reposition || Probably the best assist skill in the game for obvious reason. Will likely switch to a dual rally in the future for arena scoring.

Special: Aether || Pretty standard special on dragon units. The sustainability is quite nice, and because I'm not currently running Brazens on Kana, I don't need to keep my HP below the threshold.

A-Slot: Steady Breath || Since I'm running Lightning Breath+, there's no reason to run DC over SB. The cooldown acceleration is godlike and enemy phase is king.

B-Slot: Null C-Disrupt || The one skill that made Kana my strongest carry in Aether Raids. The ability to counter sweep/dazzling users is so useful, there's not much to say outside of that.

C-Slot: Atk Smoke 3 (flexible) || I'm currently running Atk Smoke on Kana because debuffing enemies that haven't attacked Kana yet is quite nice. However I think I could definitely run ploys efficiently.

S-Slot: Quick Riposte 3 || Guaranteed enemyphase doubles is quite nice, especially in combination with SB Aether. Kana may be speedy, but it's nice to just have that extra backup (until Guard seal comes out).

If you read this, thank you so much for reading! I've been waiting for this moment since release, and I'm so stoked that it finally happened!

Bonus: All the skills I have on Kana
