Before I go to bed, I'm just going to leave this shitty thing here. The second stage is based off burned rubber (in the way that
>>16536972 suggested rather than the previous Donphan V.2) as well as a King Cheetah while the pre evo is based off flaming fast tires. The concept branch being how cheetahs are known for their speed and how in various parts of media display burning rubber and the fire lines that are present in cartoons when a car goes superfast. Idea revolving around immense speed, it seemed plausible. Before anyone asks, the red/brown things around the eyes are the lines that cheetahs normally have on their faces near their muzzle. The dark red around the King cheetah's face was supposed to look like a protective helmet but I failed. The fire on the king cheetah's lines only comes out/is released when it has reached a high speed.
I dunno, maybe one of you anons can take my art and alter it (which usually works).
The only reason I designed these things in the first place was because I wanted to see a cheetah concept that was different from the norm. I don't even think we should have a cheetah, but so many people whiteknighted the idea last thread.
