(Skin Concept) SubTerra Nautilus

Now, I know we already got subterranean nautilus, but personally I think it's more of pissy miner nautilus. So perhaps this can be seen as subterranean nautilus 2.0

Name derivation: Well, submarines chillax underwater (sub being under, marine being water/ocean). Terra=earth. Chuck sub and terra together and we get subterra or under earth.

Thought process: Figured we needed another take and a very different one at that. So I figured why not some kind of "hell hammer nautilus". So I opted to make him come from the literal hell that is the earths core/mantle.

Overall physical description: Subterra nautilus depicts a "volcanic diver" clad in shiny dark grey/black armour. Thin, vibrant, branching slicks of other metals and lava flow down the surface, the entire thing glowing with the heat of the earth. Like his base skins' radiant blue accents, this has orange/red lava accents in their place at the joints. On his back is a small, open pack filled and over flowing with molten rock/metal from the earths core, his energy source (W). His anchor retains its shape, however it now has an extremely grotesque and crude appearence due to deformalities and molten rock/metal cooling on its surface as naut ascended above ground. Crude hook, spike and stud shapes cover it. However certain sides favor certain formations; longer spikes form on the inner side (gravity pulls ems down), the hook shapes on the shorter ends (these will be crude sickle shaped even without the texturing) and studs are more prevalent on the top. NOTE: all 3 are present on every side (this isn't a perfect system), but a little thinking and it works out. The anchor pulses orange with geothermal energy.

.

Spells: Passive: the anchor melts the ground on impact, inhibiting movement. Q: the chain is re textured. Not much I could think of here that wouldn't break the animation. W: naut activates his pack and becomes orbited by lava rings and enveloped in heat (the shield), the floating solids in the rings (like those on worldbreaker) will be balls of pulsing molten rock. He also channels lava from his pack into his anchor, which erupts from it upon attacking (the splash effect). E: naut stamps the ground, channeling lava from his pack, through his foot and into the ground. Orange heated solids erupt from the ground instead of water

R: Naut brings the hammer down, smashing the ground towards the target, initiating the animation. Small-ish volcanic eruptions occur which get increasingly larger as the ult closes in, knocking up everyone in the way. The final eruption will be huge in comparison to the others with volcanic rocks ejected upwards with it.

Not much more to it than that. In my head this sucker is purdy. And due to my lack of artistic skill, I'll let your imaginations do the work
