RPG based Yorick skin Idea

I've been thinking for a while on a Yorick skin I would love to see, and maybe It'll spark someones imagination. The skin line of "Braum Lionheart", "Ryze Whitebeard", or "Varus Swiftbolt" definitely has strong ties to the Dungeons and Dragons role playing game, and Yorick pretty much fits right in with that. Yes a "Yorick Deathcaller" wouldn't really change much because that's literally what he is already. BUT, the necromancer is not the only thing that has minions in this game (P.S a despicable me Yorick skin would be fantastic) the Summoner is a class I enjoy quite a bit, and it fits Yorick even more than what is obvious. In Pathfinder (a D&D variant) the Summoner can call upon an Eidolon ( a being from an outer realm) to fight by their side and the Maiden screams with untapped potential. So I got to thinking of a theme, I thought a few but the one that I kept going back to was a Wolf shaman type summoner.

Yorick could wear a motley gray wolf fur cloak, trimmed around the hood with fluffy white fur, and robes underneath. A black beard and glowing blue/green eyes would complete the shamanistic feel. The cape could flow out of a wolf skull and be a dark green. The shovel would definitely have to become a quarterstaff or large walking staff that becomes illuminated when Q is up.

Since Eidolons always appear as some kind of fantastical creature I was thinking of a Wendigo. A mythical creature that is born when a human consumes another of their kind. They have long snouts like a wolf and antlers, they are also emaciated so the torso tapering off into a ghostly shape would look pretty reasonable if the Maiden was changed to look like one.

For the Mistwalkers it's a bit more iffy. I would love for them to be little wolves. But if that's not possible just put a wolf skull on their heads... But I really want little wolves.

Shamans and summoners as a group are the mediums between the physical and spiritual planes and as such share a small resemblance to druids who are the mediums between sentient beings and nature. These people are more inclined to follow a fairly neutral path and so the color gray works well.

Green is the color for balance and is often used to represent a third party. This is exactly what I feel Yorick stands for, he's the guardian of the dead but also of the living, he would not care which side of the noxian/demacian conflict comes out on top.

Red is the color of hatred and black is the color of vengeance, for the failings of the Ruined King Yorick will see him destroyed.
