1st week of Art Fight :D Here's what I've done so far

Pasokoneko for xSNEASELSLASHx

Balloonadachi Rei for @fbpanimations

The shape of Weina's SV2 design reminded me of stained glass panels, which felt like a cool thing to mess with

Another version under the cut

What I like about the Vimalion designs is how distinct each one is with a clear motif, but also strong drawability. I wanted each cat to be as distinct, but simple by referencing certain features like hair shape, the color/shape of their clothes, etc. Naming depended on their final design, website description, a headcanon, or cause it was funny

Shrikesong: The loggerhead shrike is a North American songbird, more infamously known as the butcher bird for its feeding habits, which is fitting for Yi Xi's butcher motif

Quietheart: Deadheart felt too on the nose for a cadaver so Quiet- was used instead. Works better to match his quiet/deadpan personality too

Lemonsnap: Wasn't sure if Eri's other motif is either soda or pink lemonade, but the closest suffix to carbonation is -snap which feels more like popping?

Ripplepelt: One of the hardest to design since blue is his main color and I was trying to keep the colors realistic (which would quickly change), but it clicked when I could translate the design on his coat into tabby stripes, and his name would match the ripples on his pelt

Appleear: Cat that is definitely not a bunny in disguise. But with an apple motif and being all ears, Appleear was the most fitting for Mai

Swiftfeather: Closest I could get to describing an arrow since she's an archer, also matches the description of her personality

Silverwhisper: Perfect for a silver-haired beckoner, whose whispers you'd hear as the wind blows through the trees

Sweetfur: Matches both her seemingly sweet and demure personality and the pink and blue patches of fur, which remind me of cotton candy

Sproutkit + Flutterkit: Only two who will have -kit being children. Sprout fits for Lin Lai's motif, but for Yun Quan "butterfly" felt too long of a name and "moth" was reserved for another cat, so the closest I could get was flutter since butterflies flutter

Duskfang: Bloodfang also felt to on the nose, so Dusk- was put for vampiric vibes instead. Also one of my personal favorite designs

Lightwing: Closest to describing fairy wings, though it may change since Light- feels better fitting to another cat (who hasn't been designed yet)

Mothhawk: Moth for her moth submotif. She is described as being a strict teacher, but I couldn't find a suffix that was exactly "strict". The closest I could get was with "hawk" since they are sharp/keen-eyed, but I may change it later if I find something better

Softpetal: Soft- to match Wei Shu's soft-hearted demeanor and -petal for his motif and the flower shaped bun in his hair
