She looks a lot like sona, that could be the biggest reason why she didn't win but still an amazing piece. A weapon would have been great, maybe a horn that calls the water she rides on to shoot out a stream of water at the enemy... Oh well it is only art concept not a whole character concept and it is still amazing.
2 - This isn't my champion. I merely came up with a design for someone else's concept. XD;;;
3 - In my opinion, she looks nothing like Sona. Sona's most distinctive features are her pigtails, four trailing ribbons, and floating motion. Myst clearly has legs (thighs) and her skirt splits to reveal them. Her hair is not done in pigtails, and she doesn't have massive boobs.
4 - Myst was done before Nami was announced.
And congrats on the prize! It is worth the prize certainly.
If you take a look at the first concept sketch, you'd understand their larger differences: [link]
Look i agree her one KEY feature is missing, her weapon. But the rest isn't in EVERY design of her. There are many characters who have skins that look nothing like their base model.
So to me and many others, this looks like Sona without her instrument and not floating with tattoos and playing with water.
If you need me to give you proof of what people think i can give it. Either you take the fact that it to a lot of people, it looks like Sona without her darn hair did up with ribbons and weapon or you can keep up this defensive wall up.
I like it, that should be enough for you.
Tell me just what part of her looks like Sona because I see basically no resemblance except for the long dress. It's not enough for me that you 'like it,' because plenty of people will like it and not give a damn about it in the future. What I care about are reasons. Otherwise, how do I improve, right? "This looks like Sona without her instrument and not floating with tattoos and playing with water," to me, basically means "This isn't Sona." Similarly, Diana and Syndra both wear armor and have long, white hair. If you don't show their weapons, doesn't Syndra just look like Diana in Ionian armor with crescent moon horns and happens to float?
Because the standard for professional work exists in that manner, your current logic doesn't connect for me and I would like to understand in greater detail how you reason this for future reference. Sorry for the bother.
