I'd advise you first to work with the main design for a bit, make various sketches, perhaps posting them for people to give suggestions (like, more volcano-like features), then take the best one to develop it into a decent concept. After the concept is done, we could help you with the actual spriting.
Remember, you need to work this in stages, instead of making everything at once.
