New Akali Skin Please!

Being an Akali main, I have a few ideas for a new skin designed just for her. Am I good at physically drawing it out? No lul, I just want someone to imagine my pictue. Yes I realize she just got one not too long ago, which was the Sashimi Akali skin, but it didn't cut it for me... (Not a pun). ;) Anyways, I have plenty of cool ideas. One, being "Death Scythe Akali" or "Reaper" if you may. The concept is that since she has Kamas, it'd be a nice fit. The theme would be a dark, and shadowy skin, which makes perfect sense for Shadow Dance (Her Ult). Purple-Blackish color scheme, chains wrapped around her ready to unleash her full power, a nice mask to fit the design, white or purple hair. And lastly, Kamas with chains dangling from the bottom or can be wrapped around the handles. Dark aura surrounding Akali, or electric energy. For ability animations... Q - Mark Leaves a dark reaping shadow under enemy. Or a dark purple aura. W - Black shroud with purple static. E - Black chains spin in a circle along with kamas. R - Dash in the darkness leaving a trail of dark energy/static behind. I have another idea of throwing chains at the enemy then dashing to them, but I think it wouldn't be acceptable since it changes the animation completely. Second Idea I had in mind, was "Cherry Blossom Akali" or "Sakura Akali". Color scheme would be obvious being cherry blossom. White or pink hair or white with a pink highlight. A white dress with pink floral design. Kamas with cherry blossoms dangling from the bottom, and a white mask with a pink trim. For ability animations.... Q - Mark leaves a cherry blossom under enemy. W - Immediately drops shroud with a burst of cherry blossoms that fly outward, with a pink shroud. E - Leaves a trail of cherry blossoms that spin along with the kamas. R - Dashes to an enemy leaving a flow of cherry blossoms behind Akali.

 I have many more ideas, but these are just two of them. I really hope you enjoy my ideas. Please be sure to upvote if you like any one of my ideas, or leave feedback below. These ideas are thought out on my own but I'm pretty sure many others have the same ideas, being that Akali is the best champ ever! :) Feel free to leave your ideas below as well.

Hey there!

So, the formatting here is a LITTLE hard on the eyes -- I'd recommend splitting up the ideas a bit and using board formatting (titles, bold/italics, and/or dividing lines) to make it a little easier to read. Just a tip to help you draw more views and feedback. :)

That said, I kind of like both ideas. Of the two Sakura Akali is definitely more interesting, and the visual design is strong and thematic. I'd definitely be interested in seeing that skin released.

Reaper Akali I'm not as sold on, as it seems largely like an "edgy" recolor. It's not a dealbreaker, but I'd be more interested in seeing you tie in the Way of the Shadow lore we see in Zed's backstory and the whole Ionian ninja arts lord, and possibly show us something like Shadow Master Akali, from an alternate Runeterra where Akali falls to the Way of the Shadow instead of (or alongside of) Zed. You'd still get a shadowy theme (although probably more pure shadow than purple/black death magic), and it seems like it would sync right up with League's thematics in a cool way that ties into a story idea.
