BEGIN HEAVY DISCLAIMERS ABOUT TIMELINES, EXPECTATIONS and FEATURES!
Good progress has been made. Her base is currently modeled, textured and being animated. Particle work is also progressing. This does not mean there's a timeline for release, but this is the stage we're at. Once the base is mostly done, her skins will be implemented. Those hi-rez models however are complete and awaiting low-rez conversion and retopo. After that they'll get rigged and go in for animation.
I will say this much: From what we've been seeing so far, I'm extremely impressed with what the team has made. She feels like the same character, but with massively updated aesthetics, though we've significantly added fidelity and new flavors into her. Animations especially. They go miles in terms of reinforcing the character and generally just making for a beautiful product. She feels like a single character where before she was open to a thousand interpretations.
(She's also super sexy now in a warrior princess sorta way)
Does she have less or more clothes on compared to before?
Eh, I guess slightly more, but it's more like she now has garment where boots and stuff just ended. Better material transitions is really a better way to describe it.
The important fact is that she still has sexy, sexy midriff.
Yes. Not hyper-chiseled, but sexy lady abs of strongness.

Similar, but not nearly as obnoxious. This is very subject to change though. We looked at her in game today and saw she was pretty warm, and might needed some complimentary colors in her texture. It's about what works best for the game at this point, not preserving what was iconic for bad reasons.

Small QoL changes I think, but nothing major. Mostly a VU.
You did what was right, and you have never stopped. <3
Back to sivir, by any chance is she feeling more... Shurima-y?
Is she still avaricious? Can we tell? Is her boomerang made from gold, steel, or steel with gold trim?
Is her stride proud? A champions stride speaks miles about their personality.
And finally, can she have an interaction when she catches a Draven's axe? It seems random, but based on personality alone that would be a compelling relationship to build up on, the proud avaricious mistress and the glorious executioner.
1) Huh?
2) That's more portrayed in VO 'n such, but I think that's getting preserved. We still want her to be out for some personal gain. Boomerang is golden with steel edging at the moment.
2) She no longer strides. She runs like a badass.
Sivir update
Any new news on what's being done with her rework?
Maybe a teaser? I'm super excited for it!
