I wasn't sure what to do with the skitty line, until my friend mentioned servals and everything clicked. Both in shapes, but also because skitty is often a rare encounter, and servals are exotic pets that are not fit to Be a pet, I could play with that.

I did some simple studies of servals, and kinda just jumped into designing these guys

The main things i added were serval spots, but also a crescent moon marking to delcatty, and little crescent moon in skitty cheeks. Delcatty used to have a moon marking on its gen 3 sprite, and I wanted that back!!! it was so cute!!!! I think it ties their moon theming and moonstone evo a lot more.
