Part 2 of the FEH 7th Anniversary illustrations!

Oh this one will be fun.

Cuboon's obviously got one specialty:

Tiddies.

But that doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of positive aspects of Cuboon's art quality (and it doesn't mean tiddies are a bad thing in and of themselves lol). It's pretty clear that they've improved since the first time they were drawing for FEH, especially when you look at New Year's Dagr and Nott (Probably my favorite piece from them). And they've been shown to draw both male and female characters with Reinhardt and Lukas (though it's obvious they've drawn more females). They're probably Reinhardt's best artist if you ask me, I'm not a fan of Ballroom Reinhardt or Resplendent Reinhardt. Posework is pretty good most of the time (though Summer Byleth and Rhea is their weakest in terms of pose work). They draw long hair like ribbons which is really pretty and works well for motion.

The one thing I'll argue that I have criticism on is that they tend to draw female characters with very similar faces (except for Igrene and Kagero, I will give them that). The female characters almost seem to have no nose, even when they're turned to the side their nose profile isn't very strong. Their outfit design for alts can be hit or miss, Resplendent Lyn, Ninja Igrene, and Duo Dagr/Nott look great but Easter Kagero and Summer Byleth look underwhelming (but Rhea looks fine). And then there's Halloween Kagero, which I just have a grudge against the choice of outfit because it's not very Halloween-ey.

This is just the starting form.

Originally I wrote out some words from an Indigenous South American dialect (I’ll need to double check which one) and was going to fit words together as puns (like the Japanese name of most Pokémon are apparently) but wasn’t sure if that would be considered wrong or offensive. It’s not my language or culture so I don’t want to cause any harm. If I find out more info then the names may change, so for now it’s in Latin/English (which English is just eighteen languages in a pez dispenser).

Cuboon is a play on Cub + Moon since Jaguar young are called Cubs and moon seemed fitting (I chose dark type because they’re excellent night hunters and are associated in some mythology with the underworld.)

Solthera - Sol (sun) and Panthera (big cat/pantherine)

Solonca - Sol and Onca ((the latter part of the Jaguar’s scientific name))
