Voidlord Yorick [Skin Concept]
Recently, I began to main
Yorick and personally wasn't too fond of his other skins. Undertaker only has a new model and Pentakill, while good, shares many textures with the classic skin as well. I began to think of some concepts that I thought would be interesting to see. Ultimately, I decided the idea of Yorick with a Void theme would be most interesting. There may be other concepts for this skin out there, but this is my take on it. Note that my drawing skills are abysmal, and as such I can't include much eye candy.
I had the idea that perhaps this skin was a take on Yorick as a high-ranking member of
Malzahar's Cult of the Void. Because of this, I pictured him wearing something reminiscent to what Malzahar wears, particularly the hood. The stony bits of armor might be textured more like
Rek'sai/
Vel'koz/
Chogath's chitinous skin.
His cloak could just be a form of void-like energy. Or he could carry a flipping portal on his back. That would be cool. The weapon was pretty hard to think about. I was thinking the shovel would be more like a war-scythe or a staff-like weapon, but ultimately I couldn't decide because I have no idea what limits the shape of his shovel would put on the designers.
(P) Shepherd of Souls: The graves themselves could be small portals that open in the ground, which snap shut upon activation of Awakening. Naturally, the ghouls would be Voidspawn/Voidlings.
(Q) Last Rites/Awakening: Not much special to do here. Change the glow to be more void-like. Maybe some purple particles as the Voidspawn jump from the portals.
(W) Dark Procession: I was thinking that the wall would be more reminiscent of multiple tentacles which sort of tie together to form a circle, or one huge tentacle forming a circle. The glow on the ground prior to the wall spawning would be a void portal-like texture.
(E) Mourning Mist: The mist in this case would just be a glob of void energy. The mark itself on the target would be the Void Crest (Found on the LoL universe Void link that I put in) instead of the triangular monk symbol. The blue exclamation mark above your creatures would instead be purple.
(R) Eulogy of the Isles: I had to think for awhile on this one, but I came to the conclusion that the ghost would instead be a tentacled monstrosity, possibly similar to Vel'koz. When she first spawns a large portal would open up and spew her out. Her draining attack would naturally be purple and possibly more void-like.
In terms of RP cost, I'd suggest legendary (1820) to fix the problem of the champion's voice lines not making sense with the theme of the skin, but this isn't that big of a problem and currently exists on many other skins anyways. Otherwise, I'd think 1350 like Void Illaoi and Void Fizz.
This was just my thought on what a Void Yorick skin would be like. If Riot ever was to make a skin like this, there would certainly be many differences. Overall, though, I had fun thinking this one up.
