How would you make this character's head?

How would you make this character's head?

Hello, I'm a fairly new to blender modelling and was wondering how some folks might make this globe head. The top is missing, and there's some puzzle pieces towards the top. Would booleans be involved? Or maybe I can somehow use a PNG? Please let me know any pointers. Thank you.

Arm bone disrupts finger mesh?

Hello, new at rigging. When I rotate my character’s arm bone, the fingers deform/stretch weirdly. I used Automatic Weights for most of the rig, but I manually weight painted the fingers.

The fingers move correctly on their own, but when I move the arm bones, they get distorted or pulled in strange ways. Is this caused by incorrect weight painting on the arm/hand, or is there another common issue that causes finger deformation when moving upper arm bones? I tried adjusting weights, but the issue keeps happening...

Thumbs up gesture (first time rigging)

Hello, I was trying to make my characters' fingers bend but it keeps looking like separated little sausages instead of looking like it's bent. I tried subdividing more, parenting again, but I still can't achieve a thumbs up look. Is this just not possible? Any advice would be appreciated. Even willing to call (I am a rigging noob.) Thank you

Hello! I'm trying to model a chef hat, but I'm stumped about the top cloud-like part. Would it just be a ring of 5 spheres, and merge it with a cylinder? I'm worried the topology would look strange.
