How big is Vel'Koz?

I know it's an odd question just on its own and I'm probably overthinking it, but I've been getting curious about it.

Despite seeing in only a few depictions I found the proportions oddly contradicting. Starting from his preview, judging from the angles he's shown from he appears to be relatively larger than the average human being. But if you see his model in-game he appears to be dwarfed by larger champions like , , , etc. (I believe I saw him in an illustration for the forum archives and he wasn't that large compared to other champions). What really got me thinking was when I first saw his Arbiter/Arclight skin splash, where he appears to be the size of a building. I'm not sure if that was to add any imposing atmosphere or he actually is supposed to be that big.

So just a question to any players/rioters/whoever happens to know: Canonically how large is supposed to be?

I've always imagined Vel'Koz to be rather large. Not spectacularly exaggerated like in his Arclight splash, but with good 9ft/3m long tentacles and a eyebody of about 2m wide. Larger than Kha'Zix (who seems just over human size) and Kog'Maw, but probably nowhere near the size of Cho'Gath and Rek'Sai.

Alas, like his fellow Voidborns, Vel'Koz has been downsized for the game's sake.

To put in perspective,

We all remember his ya know Video right? The one with the legendary Helmet Bro. Well his Vel'koz's eye is as big as Helmet Bro if not a bit bigger. I'm not quite sure how big he is exactly but maybe that can help a bit. As well judging by his tentacles in proportion to his eye i would have to they are about 7~9 feet long, no math work involved just eye guessing it really.

Pun intended

I think there's a big disconnect for some champions' size in their splash art and their size ingame. I mean, just look at Malphite. But for Vel'koz, I think his size in the preview is probably the closest to canon.

Even Mecha Malph and Aatrox were HUGE robots compared to their base splashes (and that includes new malphite splash)
