Blonde Assassin
This is a pretty design, I love the light and airy feel to it. I think you should experiment with making the whiter colors more of an off-white cream. For that light golden color, I think it might be a tad too dull. Maybe brighten it up a little bit? I think that pink is a little too dull as well, I would brighten that up some too.

Dusk Flower Fields
I really love this design as its, the colors are wonderful! However, it doesn't really make me think of dusk. I would maybe focus on a dark blue, purple, and gray with a brighter fourth color to make it pop. Maybe use that fourth color to represent the flowers? Or grass? Something to experiment with maybe.

Lady of The Forest
Some name ideas for the male: Lord of The Jungle, King of the Woods or vice versa King of the Jungle, Lord of the Woods
For the design, maybe a dark blue for the belly instead of the purple? The purple doesn't really make me think of a forest...unless you're going for an enchanted forest maybe? The blue would make me think of a river or stream running through the forest. I really like the dark color pallet though. <3

Would like to get some critiques on these theme designs. ^^

Energy Storm Qitari


Blackberry Ryori


Cottonmouth Vulnyx

Thank you for the input! I will be trying some of them out! I like the name Ideas, I think I will use Lord

Blackberry looks too similar to Nightly Blossom in my view.

Also, that's a Vulnyx. Not a Sylvorpa.

I love the quits! The name is perfectly fitting for the design! My only suggestion would be to darken the G1 color some because as we can see on the female, it brightens things a bit much.

For the Ryo's, I grow blackberries and such so I know those colors are accurate, but the common mental picture of blackberries is a lot more black/dark reds. I also think the design might seem a little ordinary. We all see a bunch of pets with those same colors or similarities. Maybe try to add a different color to the scheme, something more noticeable? All in all though, I think it's really creative and I love what you came up with!

River Clam Vul
I can see this as an actual theme someday! I love it! My suggestion would be to maybe throw in some more darker colors, and possibly more greys? (The greys have a possibility to make it worse though so maybe not greys.....)



Hope this helps!

I'm not sure what it is about the Blonde Assassin one, but I looove it. I'm a sucker for subtle colors highlighted with bright, and I think this design brings it out really well.

Dusk Flower Fields is neat, too - one thing I'd change is the bright bright pink into something a tiny bit more dull. (and I don't know if it's possible, but changing the stems/branches on the spring blossoms trait to a darker red/purple like 662247 would be really pretty as well.)

Lady of the forest's male companion could be Sylvan Duke: Sylvan meaning consisting of or associated with woods; wooded. Personal preference for me, but I don't like purple and green together. Perhaps if it was changed to a more pink-tinged purple.
C2 changed from 570563 to 630544

Overall, I really like your designs - especially that Assassin one. I'd buy it if it was a project!

Ah, that's supposed to be Cottonmouth Vulnyx... >.< I have a River Clam Sylvorpa design and apparently posted the name of it instead of the vuls name. xD

I'll compare it the NB ryo and see what I might change. ^^ I'm kind of thinking of changing the name to Blackberry Juice ryo because that's what really inspired the design. We've been juicing blackberries lately to make jelly. So maybe Blackberry Juice or Blackberry Jelly ryo?

The Energy Storm qit is probably my favorite. I'll see if making that G1 darker makes it look better.

Thank you for the critiques! ^^

I like the simplicity of the blues and then the golden yellow on Energy Storm. I don't think I'd change anything!

Blackberry - perhaps add in a few dark red-purples to prevent muddling of one color. I, personally, am not a fan of the jewelry trait on the female because it creates clutter I feel. I like the idea, though! (and I love blackberries.)

As for the River Clam - The clams we have in the Northeast are generally a bit darker and bright yellow-orange on the inside. Maybe some accents of the above color would bring out the design more. Also, does the female have a gene? If so, it's way too light.
G2 color changed from light to 302409.

Edit: just noticed you did the vorpa-vulnyx mixup. (I guess the above critique could work for cottonmouth too!)

My design for today is Dirge of Summer. Originally it was a generate random EC, C1-3 palette and design from there, but I think I might do something with it for the Summer themes.

The only thing I don't really like about it is the G3 color, but I'm not sure what else to change it to.

Also, that's another cool way to create designs - set no vis, randomly generate palette until you get something that isn't hideous, and try to make a design! It makes for some cool outcomes.

Oooo, I like the edit you did for the vul! <3

I actually really like your aeri as it is, but I might would make the orange a little more dull. Or maybe just more of a yellow/orange? I feel like it might be too dark for the design. Everything else I love on it though!
