This is super late but I had other stuff I needed to work on more and then there was family stuff and then I restarted like three times because my idea kept changing BUT HERE IT FINALLY IS. I volunteered for this design for the Creature Exchange after the September round finished and LynxFelidae never received their half.
This was the prompt and once again I was left with a lot of free reign.
1 - What parts of your prompt were written well and easy to understand? Was there anything the writer of the prompt could improve on or include next time they create a prompt?
I think giving a little more direction in the prompt would have been helpful. There were a lot of elements given but no hints as to what was wanted from them.
2 - Please explain how you interpreted the prompt to create your design. Which features did you use? Did you stick to the chosen palette or make changes to it? Does the design you created have any special abilities or quirks?
I tried to make him demonic and inhuman but he came out much more animalistic and faun-like than I intended. Medieval demons were these weird amalgamations of different animal body parts slapped together so I tried to do that a little bit. I'm not great at armor - which is what I first thought of with the "medieval" prompt - so I used medieval nobleman clothing instead. I really tried to blend lynx features into his face, especially with his eyes and glorious mutton chops. I used an Iberian lynx and Wapiti for marking inspiration. And I used the given color palette on his clothing, though no matter what I did I couldn't get green to look good, sorry. And of course he's got bells 'round the base of his antlers. So he jingles joyfully as he gores people on them :D Or maybe they just make a jingly handhold while people "ride" him (hey I don't know what kind of demon he is okay).
They loved him, so yay me :D
