>>56608450Having the paws be defined is pretty obvious huh. I get the idea but its also very obvious that Manetric was meant to be a Croconaw of sorts. There's an argument for and against it. I will say the more i fiddle around the more I like it being a pretty beefy dog though. Even next to mega Manetric this sort of heft would clearly show it as the final; much less normal Manetric/Electrike. I like the idea of the beard but its quite hard to make not distracting.
>>56608450The concept art that probably became it sure is. But a "star dog" is definitely what this is. Which i suppose is actually a reasonable jump in logic from Tindalos, being that a star is just a bunch of angles.
I'd throw out that you could absolutely still do the internal energy thing but I suppose saying that after looking at these RS sprites might be putting a tad too much faith in it.
