Cursed Clockwork Zilean (Concept/Description)

This is a concept for a ZileanZilean skin that, surprisingly, I dreamed about. To me, this concept seems really cool, and I feel like it'd be a very interesrting take on his whole concept.

The skin is called Cursed Clockwork Zilean. Think machine, semi--steampunk. A mix of gears and plating forming his body, as if his body is made from the inner working of a clock tower. There would be a mix of bronze (or copper, depends on the material the gears are made of), and a red glow all throught the inner workings of his body, as well as his eyes (Red because in his splash art, his spell is blue). His cloak would be made of some sort of luminous energy, the same glow that is seen throughout his body.

The lore of the skin is that, while messing with time magic to restore Icathia to its former glory and save its citizens (Zileans lore),his spell rebounded back, with time itself taking control of Zilean for meddling in such a fragile magic. It turned his body to the very thing he seeked to look through, Time. He now glows red from the core of his new machine form, the color of the spell having turned from blue to red. He has been cursed to look to stop the clock for anyone who crosses his path, ending the time they have left.

Let me know what you guys think! I'd love to hear feedback on what others feel about this skin concept

someone plays Zil like Reginald: murderous mid. :P

When I first saw this, the image I immediately caught a flash of was sort of a haunting, dark skin. Think sort of like Zilean joining Org13 in Kingdom Hearts. A black cloak, with an ominous, silver clock with blackened hands and a glowing red backlight.

Yours was definitely neat...I just figured I'd share my flash of inspiration from reading your title. xD

That pretty much is Zilean's lore though: cursed to forever wander through time searching for an answer to his problem with the Void. So I was thinking when I read "Cursed" that it was going to be a more gothic twist on his curse. I am certainly not opposed to going more steampunk though. It adequately fits the theme of his magic twisting him in a way that makes my flash of inspiration look like child's play.
