Special Forces Shaco Skin Concept

So after seeing the whole 'Special Ops Shaco' idea in the Miscellaneous section of the forums, I thought it'd be more fitting to move the idea and concept to here. Credit goes to Boomlmichl for the original post which can be found here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/09ZAA0ce-new-skin-idea-special-ops-shaco

Here's what I wrote on the idea of the skin:

I can see it now. Shaco is dressed in a tactical uniform, a hood drawn over his head and either a gas mask with enough eye features and designs to know that it's Shaco or a solid face mask that he would wear that is almost like a computer screen, a very simple smily face on it. His belt would have small devices that would be his equivalent of jack-in-the-boxes. His pants would be large and baggy, coming down to meet very long and narrow combat boots as to keep in line with Shaco's aesthetic. His daggers could either be made of some special techy energy or just be normal combat knives.

Q - Shaco would disappear in a digitized puff of orange pixels and 'smoke'. When he breaks stealth he reappears, but not all at once, starting with either the head or the feet as an orange line of digital pixels travels up or down from wherever they started respectfully, revealing Shaco.

W - Shaco throws his Jack-in-the-box, although it appears to be more like a landmine or pocket sized turret that winds down and arms itself, having the same digitized effect when it enters stealth. Enemies that trigger it cause its lights to flash and its turret to swivel towards the enemy, firing either lasers or bullets. When it dies, it gives off sparks and smoke before looking broken.

E - Not much can be done here without looking overly flashy. Shaco throws one of his combat knives, or perhaps the knife he throws is retextured to look like a throwing knife.

R - Same digitized smoke cloud as Shaco makes two of him. When the clone dies, it explodes in a fiery explosion and no death animation, but still giving Shaco's death noise.

As for his audio, it could be kept the same with a filter over it to make it sound like he's wearing a gas mask or speaking through a radio channel of some sort. Or it could be completely redone to match his theme but still have the voice filter.

His recall would be him doing some iconic dance that's signature of Shaco's jester-like nature, like hopping around in a circle or something along those lines. Right before his recall ends, he would reach down to his belt and grab a smoke bomb, throwing it down and disappear in a blast of smoke.

Like and comment if you support the concept of a Special Forces Shaco skin. Also if you're any decent at art (unlike me) and feel like wasting the free time, go ahead and draft up some pictures as well.

So with my MS Paint Skills I have drawn up a rough concept art for the skin.
