(Xerath) Skin idea

So i have been playing around with xerath skin ideas myself as well, since xerath is my main guy and deserves some love :3 Here it is: "Light eater Xerath" (or something like "Consumer of light xerath").

Basically the idea around the skin is that xerath is a being of pure darkness that feeds on light itself. While absorbing as much light around him (An example to make this possible with particle effects would be to add some sort of light drain visual on his passive empowered basic attacks) he feeds off a portion of what he absorbs and he stores the rest of the light. This pure light energy that is stored is then discharged through xeraths abilities.

To me the coolest part about this skin idea is the very clear distinction between darkness and light. You will be able to work with 2 very distinct colour schemes in 1 champ, opening up the possibility of making the particle effects not only look epic but also make them pop hard. Even if this might be too difficult or too much work on a medium popularity champ like xerath the idea of having a dark skin on xerath would be epic. Something black, purple or even grey maybe, its something he doesnt have yet and very easy to explain the colour scheme from the point of view of xeraths previous skins. (I mean Infernal=Red, Nature=Green, Tech=Pink/reddish, Nomad/sand=Gold, so all the skins have an elemental feature thus darkness/void makes sense for xerath). I think this skin idea could also be very nicely used on some other champs, for example kindred (Which is already made up of 2 color schemes and entities) or lulu. So there is the possibility of extending the skinline or just applying it to a more proffitable champ.

I hope that you could do something with this, or that you just enjoy picturing the idea. If someone like this feel free to use the idea to make something from it, just make sure you let me see it :) (Yes that means you riot!)

Cheers,

I do like the concept of the skin but as you said riot probably won't do it in the near future if ever to a champ like Xerath.
