Battle Academia Neeko (Fan Design and VFX realisation) + BA Nidalee

Battle Academia Neeko front/back concept by me, sihoulette was referenced from in-game idle pose, and emote was a replication in the same style as in-game emotes.

The VFX is heavily inspired by the rest of the characters in the skinline. The Q AOE is a little different from usual, the anime smoke is meant to look more in line with Neeko's original Flower pattern in her Q.

The W and E abilities are pink to contrast the ultimate (R). The ult is inspired by a super saiyan-powering up type move, which she then slams down on the ground, while trying to keep with the BA theme!

Here are some iterations of the concept for Battle Academia Neeko, as well as the splash art. The outfits were inspired by Lux's BA skin mostly, due to them both being in the same mage/sorcerer class. Concepts were realised before painting.

Initial sketch/blocking/painting of the splash art, done on procreate and photoshop. There's a little nod to the love confession letter trope in Manga, as Neeko has a crush on Nidalee in the lore.

Extra Battle Academia Nidalee concept I came up with quickly to help visualise her in the Neeko splash art, with her animal form being the BA sport's concept and her holding a Javelin as her spear.
