this is just a rough concept that i sketched over the OG vandal :) i feel like there's not a lot of cute vandal skins so i figured id have a go at one!

this is the "Heartbreaker" vandal. it's sort of valentine's themed, but generally just a cute skin for yearlong usage :p i'd envision some of the decorative hearts, the fletching, the wings, and the tip would be 3D modelled.

For VFX, the hearts could glow, potentially fluctuating in brightness for the reload. For the muzzle flash, i think a heart shaped one would fit really well, potentially a light pink or just the regular orange flash. The sight would be holographic and glow, and be heart shaped. Heart shaped hit markers that glow pink or gold, visually similar to the RGX 11z Pro's glow. I think some small glowy hearts while equipping and reloading could be nice as well.

The wings on the gun could flutter when equipped/reloaded and potentially after a kill, but after a kill may be distracting. The wings could have an "idle" animation, a really slow and subtle flapping, and tensing while being shot.

The firing audio would sound really shimmery, sort of like a LOZ OOT rupee or the gems in spyro.

For the finisher, the opponent would become transparent and pink, and float up with the image of a glowing heart on their chest, an arrow would fly through the heart, and they'd burst into small hearts or shimmers.

There couldbe white+rose gold, blue+gold, purple+gold, etc. color variations. either way gold would be incorporated if possible.

let me know what you think! i really hope riot gives us some cute vandal skins soon. let me get some clean headshots with a cutesy gun (TT_TT)
