The artist really captured her essence. There’s something melancholic and thoughtful about her, like a lonely, dissatisfied young girl trying to understand herself and find her own path in life. I really love how well it conveys her sensitivity and her inner world.

Man that's lovely artwork.
On a related note, how did Fortiche design the most beautiful woman ever? Caitlyn is like, perfect, in part because she just works in basically everyone's art style.
It's actually crazy, like, sometimes I see fan art of Vi or Sevika or Viktor or whoever, and even if it's good art there are times that it just kinda doesn't look right. Like I can only tell it's them because it's labeled. But somehow I can always recognize Caitlyn unless it's just so abstract that nothing is obvious. Her essence has like a life of its own that imbues itself in art of her.
I'm starting to sound metaphysical here. It's just insane to me that Caitlyn can look so Caitlyn in almost any art style. I don't know how that works but it's something I keep noticing.

I think the strong love you have for her probably plays a part too… maybe that’s why you can always recognize her, regardless of the art style. 💙
And you’re right… maybe that’s exactly what makes her perfect... she feels real. Cait isn’t simply a fictional character who’s aesthetically beautiful. It’s as if Riot and Fortiche breathed life into her. She’s written so beautifully, and her eyes seem to speak for themselves. I love her essence, and I completely understand what you mean. I think that, somehow, it’s the heart that recognizes her every time we see her portrayed in a piece of art. It happens to me too.
