@Riot Galetta : What other skin concepts were considered for Bard?

So for those who are unaware, Elderwood Bard is going to be the release skin for our newest champion. The concept fits his character as a guardian, and overall the skin is just beautiful to watch.

But I'm curious as to what other concepts were thrown around for him. I can definitely see a Blood Moon skin working well with him (but not as a release skin). I mean, just imagine him more sinister will some blood red particles. >:D
