Farmer Yorick (Skin Idea)

Before I give my idea for a new skin for Yorick, I know that Riot haven't given a lot of love towards him. Similar to his pre-rework, Yorick is like forgotten. I know that his kit is sort of gimmicky, and maybe people don't find him entertaining to play. I recently played Yorick in my alt account and I find his kit fun. I like summoning ghouls (or mist walkers) to fight for/with you, and I certainly love the idea of the maiden who you can summon to help you into battle or just securing objectives. Now I understand when people say that his ghouls are useless due to they don't fight with you unless you hit the e, or that they die to easily, but that is not what this post is about. (although I have a small idea to help is kit, but that's for another post).

    Yorick hasn't received a skin since his launch, and that is years ago. Now that he is reworked, the skin team department will now look at him and try to come up with which skin would fit him the best. So, I would like to pitch in my idea for a possibility Yorick skin.

Farmer Yorick

    Current Yorick uses a shovel to dig the dead. So instead of using a broken, dirty shovel, he could use a..... dirty shovel. I mean, it fits perfectly for him, but instead of digging corpses in the ground, he digs seeds. (obviously you wont see that in game but you get the idea). Now for his clothing, he would use overall jeans with straw hat on his head, keeping the dark-faced shadow theme. I see him with farmer clothings with the straw hat to cover his eyes, although I think he should keep his blue-ish color skin, since that is what Yorick looks like. Now the tricky part, and it is something that I still can't see it completely, his cape. They made a cape for Yorick and while I think it is cool and awesome looking, I believe that Riot dug a hole on this one (get it). I can't see a farmer using a cape to farm his crops, but maybe it can be sort-of like a sprinkler, gushing water on his back so he can water the plants. Though, for the cape to work, it has to have a misty feel to it. Like I said, I can't exactly see it, only to this extent. Now, for the best part, his ghouls. For his ghouls, this is what I have envisioned, if Yorick is the farmer, then his mist walkers are his veggies and fruits. His ghouls should be dressed as carrots and tomatoes and green peas, all in a costume like fizz in his cottontail bunny suit. And it makes much more sense since Yorick brings both the vegetables and the ghouls from the ground, like a farmer and a "necromancer" (I put it in quotes because I exactly don't know if he is a necromancer). For his maiden, she could be dressed as a scarecrow, since she has the structure for it. She could be make out of hay straws and have overall jeans as well, although the soul sapping could be the same. 

   To conclude, Farmer Yorick seems to be a perfect fit to make on the Shepherd of Souls. He would wear overall jeans with a straw hat, using a dirty, muddy shovel, with a sprinkler device on his back spraying water to replace the black mist, and his mist walkers would be his farm crops jumping around wanting to be eaten (or to eat...). I'm sorry I can't draw to help visualize better, because if I could, I would definitely would have done so. Let me know what you guys think, any sort of response is great.

How is it going? I love what you are thinking about. This is a dope idea that riot needs to get on. He's only got 3 skins.
