My original design for The Aberration. I turned it into a mock manga spread to capture the vibes.

Process

Another proposal: A diseased entity, mindlessly wandering the Spirit Realm, spewing poison. Yordles at the bottom stare in terror.

Severed head version. I can imagine a banshee scream coming from the creature as it runs around...

The final version of the monster, going for an unsettling vibe here.

“Kennen had heard it too, the roar of some unseen... something. Man or monster, it did not matter. The Kinkou would protect their land at any cost.”

Detail - Flying Kennen for scale!

"Rissu, The Silent Storm" - Imagine a random Yordle fist punching you from the left out of nowhere, now the right, and NOW FROM ABOVE!

"Tornado Warrior" - She controls her hurricane of deadly blades through deep meditation.

"Ember Monk" - The edgiest of Yordles.

"Ice Monk" (unused) - His blade of ice is not fragile, rather it is stronger than any man-made steel sword.

"Masa, Crashing Thunder" - The thunder cracks the rock helmet, revealing the Yordle's true power: lightning!
