My original plan was to have Singed taking a break while the poison sets in a couple of champions. I think the idea was hard to read from the sketch, and the people didn't really fit behind him perfectly.
This one turned into a bad Frazetta ripoff. It was the same idea as the first, but they were all going to be trapped in Singed's adhesive (was not drawn yet). Also, I noticed later and other people notice that some of the poses looked inappropriate. It didn't really read well and Singed looked too heroic. Alistar does have a dope mullet though.
I ended up dropping that idea of a stagnant Singed. I think this ones going in the right direction. Still need to figure out a lot of stuff.
