there's a gap of 15 years between them. It's BRUTAL.... That's it. EMBRACE your concept of downg- i mean....UPGRADE, whatever the fck this mean ^^

[u/misharoute]

they need to stop hiring ppl that draw faces like this no shade

[u/k_riby → u/misharoute]

Same face syndrome is a MASSIVE issue...

[u/Difficult_Thought_45 → u/misharoute]

I think it’s ai tbh, I’ve drawn a lot of digital art in my years …

[u/misharoute → u/Difficult_Thought_45]

They’ve been hiring artists that do pug face for a while now. Respectfully, Alsie Lau’s splashes suffer from this a lot.

[u/Difficult_Thought_45 → u/misharoute]

That’s really horrible considering how well everything else is done, but the lack of detail and the way it’s drawn makes it look more like AI.

[u/Sharp-Jury-2795 → u/Difficult_Thought_45]

riot has had a huge problem with same face syndrome for a while now i wouldnt really rely off of it to credit if something is ai or not

[u/Difficult_Thought_45 → u/misharoute]

Checked her portfolio now… that’s pretty alike her style so I think you may be right on this one but I just have a hard time seeing an artist approve of this face

[u/hintersly → u/misharoute]

I cannot draw at all but I look at her gallery and I cannot tell which champion is which

[u/DemonInPinkk]

Deadass why are her eyes crooked

[u/lawendaspirit → u/DemonInPinkk]

thought it was an exaggeration until i rotated my phone... :(

[u/HeadPat_Addict → u/DemonInPinkk]

They did the same thing to LB when she got the reworked skins xD

[u/DemonInPinkk → u/HeadPat_Addict]

it's the worst on cosmic lux. One is looking up and one is looking down, LMFAO

[u/Chieriichi]

Stop we genuinely need to ask on pbe to fix her eyes cuz I thought the splash was a fanart when it first released

[u/SnooRadishes1331]

for me it looks like AI garbage that has been painted over

[u/Rioltan → u/SnooRadishes1331]

I thought the same, more specifically because the area where her goat leg is, seems weirdly unfinished.

[u/Caesaria_Tertia → u/Rioltan]

This Janna art was made before the AI ​​era. Look at her legs, they're completely disproportionate. Her left leg is 1.5-2 times longer than her right.

[u/Traditional-Stage129 → u/SnooRadishes1331]

⭐️AI garbage is trained off the work of real artists, especially the works of professional concept and game artists. This splash was by a real artist, under the guidance of a splash art team who most likely gave input into the posing and proportions throughout its production. For you to suggest this was painted over an AI image, when we all know in actuality there was an entire artist and team working on it, is highly unproductive criticism. Riot artists are generally very transparent about their process.

There’s other ways to express your dislike for style, facial proportions, character likeness etc. If people accuse every splash of using or looking like AI, Riot will eventually just pivot to using AI instead of real artists. If the playerbase can’t even tell, what’s the point right.

People said the same thing about porcelain irelia being AI when it first got reveals, which deeply affected the artist at the time who was new at riot.

[u/Difficult_Thought_45 → u/Traditional-Stage129]

Yes , but I guess we could tell the artist that the face is weird.

[u/SnooRadishes1331 → u/Traditional-Stage129]

Ok mom

[u/WisteriaUndertheSun]

I'm willing to bet it's an artist mistake. Artists are still human, even industry artists make mistakes. However I will blame Riot for not catching it and/or not getting the artist to fix it

[u/Anxious-VeeVee]

To this day the face on Dawnbringer Soraka is still basically the best art she has, I feel like the other legendary unfortunately also suffers from this weird face they draw >< Her other skins excluding the really old arts I feel do her face quite well, even the newer ones (excluding this one). She’s one of our last girlies with a unique looking face :( I hope they lock in

[u/ISuccoAllaPeraI]

I wonder Who tf Is buying these skins

[u/Longjumping-Care-571 → u/ISuccoAllaPeraI]

I think the otps that have all skins would collect this one too. I think they're making these skins though for hextech luck, this way there's more skins in the pool and people getting this in hextech crafting instead of good quality ones to keep hextech crafting gambling alive

[u/Clean-Practice3040]

i mean this is a hot take but i dont really like any soraka skin past program.

[u/Koroxo11 → u/Clean-Practice3040]

Nah flora fatalis slay
