I'm so stuck trying to find the right design/feel for this character. I started out doing some varation from my previous thumbnail but it wasn't quite hitting what I had in mind. I wrote down some keypoints that I had in mind and started more exploration on paper and digital. It was when I started doing the rough splash thumbnails that I kinda understood what I wanted.
Still far from finish if I want to put this in my portfolio, lots of stuff to figure out.
I'll be going with number 2, next step is figuring out the design then hopefully take it to finish.

Thanks for the feedback! I like the galaxy hair too but the idea is he's kinda of like a lightning chaser and eats them, so he tries to catch the lightning before it hits the ground, I feel like the galaxy hair doesn't help in terms of backstory or origin, unless I make his story related to zoe or voids from league of legends (my goal is to fit this character in the league world). He's Ornn and Volibears nephew. Ornn made him drums and Voli plays with him using lightning/feeds him lightning, I imagine he plays with gnar and smashes head against each other xD. That's basically what I was keeping in mind. I'll let it sit for a day and comeback haha
A tiny person catching/harvesting the lighting and this guys catches them could be interesting
hahaha sorry for the long rant
