>>56467966your shitty redesign looks like shit and is disconnected from the previous more than samurott. The prevos always had their bodies majority blue, just getting darker. Yours went black, which Samurott just went with a darker blue as its main color. The """redesign""" gets even darker by poorly using what was just claws+stylized gloves on dewott to make it an undercoat color for no reason, while the previous two stages had the darker color as an upper layer in their fur. It also flipped the top-lighter-than-bottom" design that the previous two had for no reason.
Regular Samurott makes it seem like the fur tufts of dewott took over the whole body, as well as progressing from bubble-like "protection" with oshawott, a more robust samurai-apprentice "skirt" with dewott, and fully fledged armor on samurott. Yours abandons this by keeping the shells to two and just adding the helmet, which looks worse and less believable for no reason, while mixing use of warm and cool colors in a way that does not mix well at all, revert claws to white, revert ear color, ruin mustache-face geometry completely, ruin light sources, make running look stupid, and make it a COMPLETELY different animal order entirely; all for what benefit exactly? To address a gripe you have that could be fixed with some better Samurott animations? A slight tweak even?
