Whenever this Pokémon attacks or uses moves I imagine it to be dancing with fire kinda like fire bending from atla. I mainly chose to redesign parts that didn’t make sense like the headpiece and rings while enhancing its fire typing more and simplifying the pre evo to fit the vibes of a starter more. And the reason this mon is extremely humanoid is 1: It fits the vibe of a princess more, 2: It’s unique for a fire snake starter, 3: My starters need to be diverse visually because the theme of the Austren region is Pokémon Conservation and Environmental diversity and Im trying to design my starters convey them best I can, and 4: it’s kinda a love letter to the Luvi line which is one of my absolute favorite Fakemon lines ever.
Next month in progress: Water starter minor redesign
