Kind of a shitshow of a thread as I expected; just wanna take a second to sincerely appreciate all of the replies I've gotten concerning my design. Let me take a second to retort to common criticisms and level all the hostility in this thread
>bipedalthis is a redesign of incineroar and to take away one of the biggest elements of its design would mean fundamentally changing its concept. i tried to make a compromise in-between the two, making it run or rest on all four, and using standing up as an intimidation/action pose/stance
>the colors aren't goodi agree, im not the best color-er in the world. if someone wants to make an edit, go right ahead
>it looks like a combination of x,y, and z this shouldn't even be legitimate criticism because it's common for different types of media to share the same ideas. "this just looks like you put x's head on y's body with details from z" can be said about any one of the 850+ designs that exist
>too muscular tigers are known to be physically more bulky than one would expect. the bulkiness conveys great physical strength seeing as wrestling is a power sport and especially in wwe 'wrestling' where the guys have to be big and intimidating
>white fur looks stupid/out of nowhere fair point, but aware that one of the predominate colors of a tiger is white. my intention was to relate the design more with a real tiger but also add "manly" chest hair that would fit with the design concept
>bara therefore stupidyou might think so, but you were fully aware when you decided to post on a thread about a pokemon based off of a heel wrestler
>>34535081>this guy>fire elbow looks stupidsomething not to your preference, fair enough
>tank top is boring and genericIt's a leotard.
>less ferocious and less like a heel wrestler not true. fangs in general exude aggressiveness and savageness. the patttern on the leotard not only looks like a tiger but is also reminiscent of torn clothing which implies being rough and a brawler. (1/2)
