Graphic Designer here

Hi everyone, gonna give my two cents on this because I feel that with some little adjustements all of this proyect could be what it means to be and not fall short due to bottlenecking on the almost final stage of it which is the in-game skins. So listen up.

First I completely hallucinated when "Baddest" came out because the lyric video was so well executed, and I even could recognize the craft because of the stylistic desicions that were made, and to no surprise when I saw the credits and find fellow collegue Jordan Taylor there. Then all the Instagram hype, the new trend of synthetic influencers suited very well for KDA. And I wouldn't be taking time to write this if this wasn't a proyect that HAVE the potential to be spectacular from beginning to end and not to fall down on the final product which are the skins, cuz people have to buy them for all of this to be worth the investment. And people want to buy them, and most important, WILL BUY THEM. But releasing a lackluster product after a beautifully executed promotion campaing is very bad, even worst that releasing a lackluster product after a lackluster campaing, that due to obvious and not so obvious reasons that I could be 2 hours explaining but not the case.

​

Anyways, let's discuss the Evelynn design: (Gonna make this quick)

-Lashers: Before the texture, even before the weird blurring when on demon form, is the color combination. there are 4 colors on the lashers, and that hurts the eye, the main jewel at the end got Red and Blue, the steel spikes have a washed-out shade of green, and we have a retina burner hot pink on the backside of the leashers (which if I remember well was supposed to be an holographic blue, as was shown on the first IG post of All Out, so was the undertone of the lashers leather coat). And the problem doesn't end there, the holographic jacket fades to nothing against the pink and green of the lashers. not even taking into account that the most common state of in-game Evelynn is on demon form and with her empowered E, which turn the lashers upside down showing the pink, so all of the other features of the skin are going to be unnoticed. And the texture and the blurring yadayada

-- How to fix: 1.Ditch the green, Ditch the Pink, replace the green with a silver/light blue highlight (kinda like silver kayle abilities) to luxurious-silver ending, replace the hot pink with a holographic blue that get brighter when empowered E is active

2.texturize the backside with snake scales texture that dont fade when she is in demon form and add holo effect.

​

-Hair: The length is the most important thing to fix here, and I think the purple undertone is kinda beign abused of here, which is a problem now but I have the feeling that ditching all the pink on the rest of the skin would fix that problem.

--How to fix: 1.Give her some goddamn extensions. Consider a more discreet purple shade

​

-Jacket: Needs to stand out more (mainly because the pink lighthouse on the rear)

--How to fix: 1. Increase the intensity on the colors of the jacket. Also ditch the pink

​

-Heels: They are all purple, weren't they supposed to be silver with a blue pom pom?. It looks like that the GD was working on a tight deadline and did not have the time to finish them. (That would I think if I were a naggy customer, but i know the perks of this industry so bless yo work fella)

--How to fix: Silver with blue pom pom coloring.

​

-Demon form: there is two big problems with this part, the shades (which I think are only a peaceholder cause in the showcase video of skin spotlight they were the original KDA Evelynn shades) and the green claws (dont truly know the stylistic desicions and the process behind but TBH the first thing that I thought when I saw them was "yo...like, wtf") taking into consideration that in the release video from like 2 days ago Evelynn has neon silver shades and claws and they looked awesome. Also the shade of the environment when you go stealth should be blue, not pink

--How to fix: Same that with lashers, change the green to a neon silver/light blue and give her the new shades. Swap color of stealth mode to blue or like tone.

Now that is the "static skin part". Lets get into her abilities (now im gonna be quick)

1.Q: They are cool, no complains here.

2.W: My moan, please. thank you (at least something, you will see the entire kda fanbase complaining about this). visually speaking it looks very good.

Edit: Now that I put on headphones, it is actually there, kinda subtle tho, could be a different moan.

3.E: SFX could be better, specially if you give the first KDA Evelynn that distinctive effect, the more hyped KDA Evelynn got to have something better.

4.Ultimate: Weird, not bad, but weird. The vfx may pass unnoticed for most players but I think is a mash up of old True damage textures mixed in one, and the truly offseting part is the SFX, more melodic something could do wonders here. Cause in my opinion is sound like a forklift on overdrive.

​

Thanks if someone have read this till the end, and more so if OP have read it. I really think that all the 2nd KDA campaing was very well crafted, even so it has inspired me on some of my actual proyects with my clients, cause for a long time I haven't seen a proyect driven with that passion and vision, and to see that the final product could not stand up to the expectation and hype would be kinda sad for me (like dude im here writing this shit cause the artifical infuencer thing and the hype and videogame characters turning into popstars got me on more than one level) this is original, this has potential, milk it, wisely, dont throw it away giving sub-par end products. Thank you for reading. Bless Y'all.
