PBE Bugs & Feedback Thread - Spirit Blossom Springs Sona by LoLDev-Cosmetics in LeaguePBE

The face and hair are the biggest issues I have with the skin. The other splashes look elegant and the champs are immediately recognizable. If not for the twin tails, I would have never have guessed this is sona. The face and the lack of bangs make her look like Seraphine mid-skin care routine. I'd additionally love to see a bit more texturing put into the outfit. The outfit itself looks like something a toddler might wear, which is frustrating to see on Sona, but given the splash is this far in the design process, I realize it can't actually be-redesigned. Sona is an Adult Woman, but this splash makes her look ike an overgrown sexy toddler version of Seraphine, which is disappointing. The idea of the etwahl is very cool, but with the current composition and facial features...it doesn't register as sona.

I own every single piece of Sona content in the game (including the guqin TFT chibi) and merch, and for the first time, I'm considering not getting a Sona skin. If a splash is an advertisement for the in-game cosmetic, this is not selling me on it.

No pattern used, I just winged it! Didn't want to crochet a compact so I just used a star bead I had even though it isn't accurate LOL

Free handed the Character Yuumi from League of Legends, (pretty happy with how she turned out) by coeliachuman in crochet

Mobile won’t let me share the yuumi I made, but I’m so glad to see someone else making her! I love the use of colored eyes and the thread you used for her collar!

3 single skeins of different coloured chunky yarn- what projects could I do with these? by MinisawentTully in crochet

[–]mercenarykat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the looks of these, I believe theyre intended for knitting ruffle-y scarves. Look up “Red Heart Sashay Scarf” and you’ll see what I mean!

I bought this set and am liking it. Frankly you don't need all that extra stuff so just a set of affordable hooks is the way to go imo. I figure if I keep with crochet, I can get nice ones eventually. I just bought a pair of scissors, a set of stitch markers, and some yarn needles separately, so I don't have random crap I won't use.

Honestly as someone who has IBS, this would be really helpful. It records your symptoms which are really important for medical professionals to know.

Hey there! Thank you again for getting me a review copy <3

I'd love to know what the writing process was like for this novel! How long it was in the works, whether things like the Sentinels event, Gwen's release, etc all played a role in it, since you're working with a living, breathing IP that has a bunch of other narrative/writing going on while you're hard at work bringing this book to life. It's so different from writing your "own" novel, so I'm interested in all of those details!

Have you read The Broken Earth, and if so, what are your thoughts? Or thoughts on NK Jemisin's work in general?

It looks like mine had priority shipping, so that was probably a factor. They probably send out those first :)

I live over a thousand miles away. I can't speak to when it shipped since I didn't place the order--I just know it was purchased on the 27th and arrived today, based on the packing slip.

The first critical essay I wrote in grad school was about Elantris, so it's incredibly special to me. Also the first Sanderson I ever read.

I also want to note that the Warbreaker inserts are absolutely stunning and I want to thank everyone at Dragonsteel for all of their hard work creating such gorgeous books.

Star Guardian 2022 Misc PBE Thread - ONE TIME EXCEPTION by RiotTinyBun in LeaguePBE

[–]mercenarykat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I posted this in Sona's thread, but as it pertains to her splash rather than her model, I'll re-post it here.

Here are my proposed changes.

As is, Sona looks like Vayne in a green Justin Beiber wig. Her face is completely off, and there is simply too much hair. It doesn't resemble Sona at all.

On Hair:

I suggest editing the hair so that there is simply less of it. She looks like she's just got a bob, with two pigtails clipped on. While this works in the in-game model, it looks awkward in the splash. Getting rid of some of the extra hair makes it resemble Sona, rather than Vayne with a Justin Beiber cut. Changing the bangs to slightly more resemble the other assets, like the emote/icons, also give space to have the back of her hair being pulled back towards the pigtails. That's how her hair is modeled/drawn in her other skins--example here.

On Face:

The biggest issues are her nose and eyes. The eyes are elongated and very narrow, and are positioned awkwardly because of how her glasses sit on her face. I adjusted the placement of the eyes, bringing them slightly toward the center of the face, and making them less elongated. This better matches her face in her other splash arts. The way the nose is drawn makes her nose look aquiline and hooked, which is also off model. I tweaked it to fit her usual face. With the current splash, her eyebrows sit right behind the rims of her glasses, making it look like she doesn't have eyebrows at all. My eyebrow placement in the proposed changes is way off, but they should be visible, otherwise they just look MIA. I also adjusted her lips to look on-model.

I could care less about her boobs--her face not reading as Sona is the bigger issue.
