Awwww
I was looking forward to a gorgeous image from the thumbnail, since the concept, patterns and colouring of this pic is really tight. I like the idea of having an armour that's similar to pot fragments - that seems like a nice idea to expand on with a more asymmetric design.
My problem is that the bright, long strands of the steam is the most distracting thing in the whole design. The white lightning confuses it further, since it's so similar! I think the steam leaking through the gaps in the armour is a strong enough idea on it's own, but I think simpler, unbranching, fading steam strands which all rise vertically would have worked better.
Keep up the good work, tho, since I follow your other creature concepts.
