Kayn Skin-Idea: Candy-Kayn + Arclight / Infernal Kayn

Candy-Kayn

No this is not some bad stripper name, and I'm not much of an artist so there is going to be no rendition by me for this skin.

Essentially it would be a Candy King-Ivern esque skin, except with Kayn. 'The Candy Kingdom is in need of help as the evil (insert gumdrops or something) have come to destroy it'

Que Kayn, the wielder of the evil sword of the (insert gumdrops or something equally dastardly), who must master the powers of the blade in order to save the kingdom from peril, or lose, and become the evil Gumdrop-Lord himself.

Essentially it would be themed like the Candy King ivern color scheme for Assassin Kayn, with a maybe some wacky armor comparable to Soul Kayn skin. The Demon-blade form would be more akin to Dark Candy Fiddlesticks, with a bit more vibrance in the armor to represent the malevolent nature.

Arclight/Infernal Kayn

This is a reversal of the typical archetype in which Kayn is the 'hero' and the blade is the 'anti-hero', in this case Kayn would be the evil wielder, with a more demonic-like base appearance, with golden-bands like the arclight and dawnbringer skins, to make it clear that he is being influenced ever so much. The blade itself would be more ornamental and 'holy' looking, and the quotes would reflect this. "When I master you I will at last bring an end to the light" or something like that for base Kayn.

The assassin transformation would take on a far more sinister appearance, with him looking more like a demon in appearance, moreso than in base form (think gaining hooves and whatnot though enough distinctions have to be made between the transformations). His quotes would be malevolent, and should have a demonic resound to it.

The blade winning however, would turn him into something more like Justicar Aatrox, and make him far more self-righteous about his cause. With the blade now in control he'd be the opposite of regular Kayn, in which he is rather cruel or oppressive, and would instead reflect the light-oriented nature of his change. I'd suggest adding a blue-trail effect to the scythe swings, similar to Dawnbringer Riven, to better accentuate the difference.

The obvious concerns with this skin would be the limit to how much stuff you can cram into it particle wise, which is okay, I'd rather have an 1820 skin of this than a 1350, any day. More importantly would be the ease of recognition, of which form Kayn is in, and I partly agree, it would need to be designed so that there are 'tells' with the Assassin form so that it doesn't look like regular-Demon form Kayn, so that at a glance people can tell it's Assassin and not Demon Kayn. I'd foresee some potential difficulties, but I'd be willing to pay for or seriously consider either of these skins, especially if they're higher quality (1820 as the second one would probably be), so it's not unreasonable to expect that they'd be well received.
