Can we get skins of Ascended Aatrox, Rhaast and Varus before they change and become Darkins?

I know people will say that Justiciar Aatrox and Arclight Varus are what they used to look like but even if it shares a similar color palette with some Shuriman themes such as the Guardians of the Sand skin line, it stops there. Their skins don't look Shuriman at all. Plus, considering that they are/were ascended beings, they should have animal appearances so it doesn't add up. Also it would finally make more Lore skins based on the main LoL universe/timeline.

Deep Sea Aatrox is clearly his canonical pre-Darkin-ing skin ;)

Can we get skins of Darkin Renekton, Azir, Nasus and Xerath after they change and become Darkins?

Justicar Aatrox's original lore was that of "how he was perceived by those whom he came to aid". Aatrox's new lore basically portrays him as a valkyrie in the beginning, who was later corrupted - so, presumably, Justicar Aatrox is how he used to look. In fact, it describes him as having glittering wings - so Justicar might canonically be his Ascended skin.

Aatrox's Justicar skin actually has some decent connections to what he was. Golden armor, splendid wings, etc.

I think that Arclight skins can be considered their Ascended form.

And if you consider Varus look, he is just a powered up human.

Rhaast was probably an oxen(a traditional beast of burden for tilling fields) based on his horns and considering his weapon is a scythe(a farmers weapon) that accident lines up nicely. Aatrox and varus arent reminiscent of anything because they were designed for their own lore and not this hackjob they were forced into.

#Ascended skin for Kayn.

Let his base form actually look like pre ascension Rhaast AND make it so that's how Kayn would look if he were to be raised in Shurima by ascended Zed.

His Darkin form to be Rhaast first appearance as a Darkin with animalistic traits.

His Shadow form to be Rhaast with successful Ascension golden coloured like Azir.

i think i remember reading awhile ago when archlight aatrox was released that that was just how ionian myths portrayed aatrox when he showed up to help save them from war

granted aatrox's lore has changed quite a bit but just throwing this out there

Tbh, I want a "Redeemed" Darkin skin set. What they looked like before they were "Betrayed"

So maybe Aatrox was an Ascended with a water buffalo head/horns and humanized body

Maybe Rhaast was a Wilderbeast Ascended

We have NO idea what Varus would have looked like since he hasn't revealed his true form as he hasn't taken over his new body yet. We only that he was human, then Ascended, then a half formed darken, but guessing based on the look of his arms, maybe he was a grasshopper

or better yet he was possibly and Owl to pay more homage back to the old varus who had an owl tattoo i believe
