Indrajeet - Ravana's Son

"Meghanada", also referred to by his epithet Indrajeet, 'conqueror of Indra', was the crown prince of Lanka, who conquered Indraloka (Heaven). Did some early stage explorations & charcater design on him, although the final approach was different, here are some screenshots from the show.
