Ultimate Champion Skin Concept - Celestial Lord Taric

Okay, so I've had this idea for quite some time now, and although it was indeed bolstered by the arrival of the new Star Guardian event, I still think it'd be worth Riot's time and investment to make a skin like this for Taric.

If we're talking design aspects, while I don't have the money currently to request a commission, I've been told I'm a fairly decent writer. I'll do my best to describe how this skin would appear in game and also the splash. Even if it weren't related to the Star Guardian skin line (though it would be pretty cool if it somehow were), it still would be profitable for Riot for several reasons that I will expand upon later.

Okay, so imagine the swirling cosmos, with planets of radiant hues of greens, blues, and reds as a backdrop. From an ornate throne of blazing silver starfire, Taric stands clad in elaborate platinum armor accented with gold trim, complete with full breastplate, pauldrons, gauntlet, greaves, the works. On his back rests a cape of deep violet, speckled with the twinkling lights of far off stars. Upon his strong brow of fair skin and night black hair rests a circlet (or coronet/regal headpiece of some sort) of platinum and gold, with etched wings just above the sides pointing up and back. Taric's eyes and left hand shine pure white with celestial power. The weapon that he holds would follow a similar theme, but instead would be a flanged mace comprised entirely of golden starfire.

Though it would be a bit of a stretch as a standalone skin (though not THAT much of a stretch), it would work even better if Riot ever decided to revisit the Star Guardians again for a future event, which seems likely considering the popularity of the new Star Guardian skins. Here's a few reasons why Riot should at least consider making an ultimate skin like this:

1.) Taric, being one of the oldest champions in League, has a smaller but highly dedicated player base, and I would even dare say that most people are satisfied with the state of his rework, hence their continued loyalty to the champion. If Riot made this, they could easily make a return on their time and money investment.

2.) Should they decide to work this into the Star Guardian lore in the future, Taric would fit like a glove. Aside from the fact that being the Aspect of the Protector means that he literally draws his power from the stars (more on that later), popular and critically acclaimed anime like Fist of the North Star, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, One Punch Man, and Beserk have shone that hyper-masculine and/or Fabio-style characters still have a stable place in popular mainstream media both in the US and abroad.

3.) His lore makes this absolutely PERFECT. An Ultimate skin should essentially take what embodies a character's lore and elevate it to the Nth degree. Pulsefire Ezreal accentuates Ezreal's lore as an archaeologist and explorer extraordinaire and ramps it up by having him literally go hopping through time. Caitlyn's lore as a sheriff has her pursuing those (namely Ezreal) that would tamper with the flow and structure of the time-space continuum, amplified by her own Pulsefire skin. DJ Sona magnifies the character's main method of self-expression, music, and brings it to the forefront with unique interactions with her team. Spirit Guard Udyr literally becomes the embodiment of his various animal avatars. Taric's Ultimate skin, being a protector who draws his powers from the very stars themselves, should exemplify the core facets of his lore. Heck, they could even do some cheeky interactions with a few different champions (or at least with particular skins):

-- Aurelion Sol. -- The Dark Star Skins. -- The Star Guardian Skins.

And those are just the one's I could think. I put a poll up just to see if this idea could get any sort of traction. If you guys want to see more or think it's a good idea, I may save the money to get a commission done and get the idea more fleshed out. If you'd like me to maybe describe more parts of the skin in detail, definitely shoot me a comment below!
