Looking for the concept, it's based on a mata-mata turtle, which explains the long neck with protusions on each side, the flat head, the trump-like nose and the overall shape. It also might draw inspiration from kappas due to the peculiar shape the flattened head does, and bipedal position. It also draws inspirations from landmines and explosions, thus that bit of his shell blowing up when touched and the visual aspect of the shell looking like a classical explosion. The people who hate it:
>looked at it, decided it looked like shit and went on with its day, not giving a fuck about whatever concepts came into play>looked up the concept, and concluded the design is not appealing for them even if they like the conceptThe same way, a lot of people out of /vp/ said they enjoy it. Most justify themselves saying "it's a badass-lookign fire-dragon turtle!", and most don't know it draws inspiration from kappas or whatever other "clever" origin it has
Bottomline what most people care about is the finished product, how visually appealing it is, not the ebin references behind it
