Beauty in Splash Art 3

League of Legends splash art is, on the face of it, perhaps an odd place to go looking for beauty. These are JPGs whose first and primary function is to hawk video game cosmetics for a free-to-play game, it's not exactly the sort of thing you expect artists to particularly flex their creativity for.

And true enough, a lot of splash art is fairly rote. Here's a character, wow look at their cool pose, don't you want to spend dollars to own this, and so on.

But sometimes, one of the artists working at Riot, or at their outsourcing studios, seems to get a bee in their bonnet, or maybe they just get excited about an opportunity to practise craft, and you get splash art that tries to do something more than simply sell the product, or artwork which displays a real flex of technical skill, often in ways which are functionally invisible at any of the common resolutions that the art will ever be displayed at.

There is genuine reward to be found in those pieces, in zooming in close and marveling at the level of effort spent. So let's spend about an hour doing that!

Rakan - Riot Verses

*Most verses are linked with Xayah as their skins are often released in pairs. However interactions with other character can of course occur without Xayah's presence or (if shipping is of interest) in verses in which they do not meet. Feel free to talk to me about it. Below are his standard, as Riot writes them (mostly) skin line verses.

Standard

Rakan can be seen in towns across Ionia, dancing and singing for the enjoyment of others (and himself, of course). He's long since left his home lands in order to learn more about the invading humans in hopes that he can draw their attention to the plight of the wild magic and the vastaya. He's vibrant, loud and always on the move. Most recently, he can be found with Xayah and her freedom fighters. He loves her more than even himself and is willing to do anything for her and their people.

Cosmic Dawn

Rakan is the dawn itself, a sun rising above the horizon. He dances through the cosmos, bringing light to the darkness, following forever after the shadowy dusk ahead of him.

Star Guardian - Corrupted

When their last mission went south, Rakan and Xayah were left to die. After watching Xayah take her last breath, Rakan followed shortly after. But the two were soon revived in the shadow of the Twilight Star, filled with hatred and resentment toward the team that abandoned them. And while Rakan laments his death, what he truly cannot forgive is watching Xayah fall before his eyes. Even in their second life, she struggles with her corruption and Rakan mourns his lost love. Now, he'll do anything to keep from losing her to the darkness completely, even if it means defeating his former friends.

*a verse after he 'redeems' Xayah but is still corrupted is also available

Star Guardian - Redeemed

Rakan's attempt to sacrifice himself in order to save Xayah is short lived but not entirely unsuccessful. She manages to track him through the cosmos and through the light of the First Star, his mind is freed from the darkness. He's now returned once more to the light, reunited with his home once again.

Elderwood

Rakan is the young fey prince of the Elderwood's Seelie Court, the Day Court. A monarch in all senses, he's endlessly curious about the world beyond his kingdom. Most recently, he's been meeting with the Unseelie Night Court's Princess Xayah, a rival turned lover. While his people object to the union, wishing to remain within their brightly lit dream, Rakan can't help but be drawn to that which he doesn't know. Perhaps a dance partner is just what his kingdom needs.

Arcana

A resident of the poorer Lower World, Rakan's life was simple. So long as he had his music, he was content, even as he existed underfoot of the Archetypes. But after a chance encounter with the Higher Arcana's Xayah, he is anything but content. Not until they can be together. And even if the world itself should rewrite the patterns set before them, he won't stop until he's beside her, following her in their forbidden dance.

Broken Covenant

Rakan once lived contently as a poor thief, eking out a simple existence with his lover Xayah. But his antics brought him too close to the sun and he soon found himself at Vladimir's mercy. On the verge of death, Xayah pleaded for his life. In exchange for Vladimir's mercy, Rakan was revived as a Neverghaast, a being not quite dead but hungry for the Breath of Life, Aspira. Xayah, to pay her debt, spies on the world above. And Rakan, now trapped in the shadows, fears the monster he's becoming.

Dragonmancer

The only thing Rakan has ever taken seriously in his life is his love. While seeking new strength and new dances, he is swallowed by the darkness of his worst nightmares. But no shadow can hold his brilliance for long. Thinking only of Xayah and the life he longed for fighting beside her, he emerged victorious and banished the shadows away. The Devotion Dragon, watching from on high, saw a kindred spirit in Rakan and granted him power to match his soul.

Modern (Musicverse or other similar riotverses)

Rakan learned to dance before he learned to walk and he's been moving ever since. Now, he lives life to the fullest, a full time dancer combining the traditional dances of his heritage with a more modern twist. He has an avid social media presence, performing anywhere from clubs and theaters to street corners and protests. He believes dance and music are forces to bring people together. And if he can use his powers of beauty and theatrics to help his renegade girlfriend fight against The Man, then all the better.

STAR GUARDIAN SERAPHINE AND REDEEMED XAYAH AND RAKAN

Wild Rift Skins Are Finally Coming to League of Legends After Years of Players’ Appeals

Exclusive League of Legends: Wild Rift skins will be made available for the PC version of the game, according to Riot Games. Jeremy "Brightmoon" Lee and Andrei "Meddler" van Roon updated their video from last month in which they discussed Riot's plans for League of Legends skins in the future. Fan favourites Star Guardian Seraphine, Redeemed Star Guardian Xayah, and Redeemed Star Guardian Rakan are among the first Wild Rift-only skins to be released for League. Three years after the release of the first Wild Rift exclusive skin, Riot confirmed that some of the mobile-only cosmetics will debut on the PC client as well. Although Brightmoon and Meddler didn’t share the exact timeline of when League fans can expect these skins to transition to the PC version of the game, they certainly let the community rejoice at this news. While some might think that there is “no logical reason” to why Wild Rift should have exclusive skins, others might dispute that the two games are built on different engines. It’s therefore rather difficult, if not impossible, to transport one model into the other game in a matter of moments. However, many cosmetic models in Wild Rift are undeniably more detailed than the ones in League, as showcased by Reddit user MonstrousYi. Since the mobile version of League launched, fans have asked for Wild Rift skins to be transported on PC as well. The 3D detailed models of the champions and exclusive skins, and the various thematics exclusive to Wild Rift have made PC-only players envious, who sometimes are stuck with decades-old models. But while bringing Wild Rift exclusive skins to League is sure to produce a positive reaction from the community, making an effort to revitalize some older-looking champions with ASU and VGU is sure to be a home-run for League players. And for that, Riot also shared that they will be looking at updating some of the cosmetics that came out way before Wild Rift was even theorized, like Rugged Garen. Non-final version of Rugged Garen’s updated splash art via Riot GamesThere are no public timelines for when League players can expect new cosmetics and updates to older skins yet, but now they can look forward to seeing more refreshing models on the Rift.
