Here's my Ashe VU I've been working on for a very long time. I've decided to redesign also the skins that in my opinion fall behind the current art style in League (therefore no Amethyst, Heartskeaker, and Marauder, sorry no sorry
). I have to admit, this VU was extremely difficult to make, mainly because there's a big inconsistency problem in the official League designs at the moment (more on that in the disclaimer below).
Traditional Ashe: Ashe - typical archer archetype, but at the same time she comes from a land of ice and snow (which nobody would ever guess if there was no lore, because her apperance doesn't suggest that to be honest). So following Sejuani and Braum's designs, I gave her more leather and fur. I also gave her originally black clothes a lighter, purpl'ish shade to match the design of the new champs. For a second I thought here about giving her some woad characteristics so she could match Braum (whose main skin looks like woad if you ask me O.o) but decided to drop the idea 'cause it would look too similar to Woad Ashe.
Sherwood Ashe: A little mix of various Robin Hoods, played by Errol Flynn, Russell Crowe, and Kevin Costner.
Freljord Ashe: If this is the Freljord outfit, what land is the traditional outfit from *philosoraptor*? I couldn't find the answer, so I focused on the fact that it was white. I assumed that white must be used as a camouflage in a snowy, cold surrounding - therefore I went for the arctic explorer design (reference to Guild Wars 2).
Woad Ashe: I know this skin was a reference to Keira Knightley's Guinevre but I had to meddle with it a bit so the design would match other woad skins: Darius and Quinn. Sorry.
Queen Ashe: I wanted to make something medieval'ish, something GoT'ish in cold tones with frost and snowflakes on the bottom of the dress <3. So voila!
Also, I moved the quiver from the back to her hip. While doing the research I've read that it's also common for archers to have a quiver on the side and I liked the idea very much.

P.S. And I forgot to mention, the bow will come in the next update (maybe as a new deviation if it turns out nice
) so no worries here.
