1. Get rid of the weird mic thing and make the key play the snout like a piano. I have been salty about this for years and will never stop.
2. Either get rid of the flames spewing out of the mouth entirely or make them cover up more of the head, the head shape has purpose but it’s highlighted very very poorly with the current design and sticks out like a sore thumb
Frankly the whole thing needs a complete revamp, there’s so much horribly clumsy execution of way too many concepts. This is like 3 mon in one, it’s insane, and it looks more like the result of being the donkey all of Gamefreak’s weird retaliatory ideas got pinned onto.
“People don’t like bipedal starters, so let’s make this one mostly walk on all fours (except for during its signature move and in all the marketing)!
People don’t like starters made to embody a human profession, so let’s make this opera singer into Gaudí lizard and a laúd and a bunch of other musical non-job things!
People didn’t like how skinny we made Inteleon and Cinderace, so let’s make the body big and square and fat to fuck up all these proportions we already drew for a thinner body!”
Kind of sucks, there’s definitely something here (which is more than anyone can say for the bland furrybait faggots Skeledirge shares its trio with) but it just got buried under this huge mess of subverting expectations
