okok so i know i've complained about this multiple times but GOD I HATE CLAWROLINE'S DESIGN. WORST KIRBY CHARACTER EVER. SO MUCH WASTED POTENTIAL. ALSO WHY IS SHE BUILT LIKE A FURRY BAIT POKÉMON. her exaggerated proportions are weird. but otherwise, she's just an hourglass-shaped anthro leopard. nothing else special about her besides purple eyeliner. so i tried to fix that as best as i could....with a redesign!!
one of the main things that bothers me about clawroline's design is the fact that she's very...out of place...i mean, she's supposed to be in a circus in some run-down theme park, right?? then why doesn't she look like it at ALL!? compared to the other designs from forgotten land, who all look sort of feral, her sleek look makes her stand out. and not in a good way. so i made her FLUFFY!!! very fluffy,, and a little matted!! plus, i gave her a few star and ringed planet shaped markings to fit the outer space theme of wondaria!
right before clawroline's boss fight, she wears a super cool cape, but then she THROWS IT OFF!!! NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!!!! so i gave it back to her for this design! i even gave her a little bowtie, top hat, and magic wand as well to make her look like a magician :3
speaking of that magic wand, this might just be a me problem, but the fact that clawroline shoots her claws out like arrows makes me very...uncomfortable....so i changed that too! now she has a magic wand that shoots out knives when she waves it!
so yeah long story short clawroline design bad
also i might make a phantom clawroline version of this later cuz i have a good idea for it
