New Jhin Skin Concept? Please, Riot? XD

So, let's start out with this. I absolutely LOVE Jhin. I haven't bought him yet because I spent my IP on Kindred, but I played a bunch of games with him on his free rotation week. Probably takes the top spot in my rankings of marksmen, with Twitch being a very close second (personal preference shrugs). He feels very unique in most aspects, while still drawing some elements from champs like Graves and Caitlyn. His personality and motives are absolutely awesome as well. I was reading about some of the design concepts and looking back at the champ reveal for him, as well as looking at people's comments on him. It seems other people share very similar thoughts with me: Jhin is great and all, but he didn't live up to the artistic beauty of his champ teaser. Sure he's got the lotus traps and the absolutely killer music in his ult, but he lacks the "elegance" and "artistic style" of his "Mind of the Virtuoso" champ teaser. You've already got the High Noon Jhin skin as a reference to the original concept art. What about a Virtuoso Jhin skin? My idea is that it'll be Jhin, but with so much more brightness to his character. More particle effects, dazzling purples, golds, more roses and diamonds like from the Zed and Garen death teasers. Maybe a little less gray on his body. People have pointed out that the "Mind of the Virtuoso" trailer was supposed to show what Jhin sees the world as, and his normal skin is just normal reality. What if the "Mind of the Virtuoso" concept was pulled together to make an absolutely beautiful Jhin skin? I think it's possible, too. After all, Aurelion Sol certainly lived up to his teaser and stunned people a million times over (can we get a round of applause for the artistic direction of Aurelion Sol, please?). Why not a beautiful Virtuoso Jhin skin? I think it would make a lot of summoners happy.

Thanks for reading, hope you take this into consideration, Riot! Members of the community, feel free to follow up on this discussion in the comments with your ideas!
