I'd suggest stages two to three as well.

I believe overall there's elements missing. The only change I can see is the hair and clothes changing and I believe that alone does not count as a proper evolution. Maybe you should try changing more or add another thing to change.
Here's the post from the first page, I believe points 2-4 should be the most important to check again.Firn wrote:6. Evolution
Your Knuffel must evolve! You have to submit 5 unique, significantly different, gradually evolving stages.
→ Evolving means your Knuffel gradually changes and becomes an "upgraded" new version of itself
→ Striking, clearly visible major changes per stage
→ At least 3 changes per stage, if they are minor things, like "adding gloves" etc, there should be MORE changes per stage.
→ No just adding a few clothes/accessories for every stage (and most of all: Not taking them off again! Your Knuffel must make a progress in evolving. Adding clothes, and then taking them off again or relocating them is no evolution and does not count as any change at all! The same goes for adding body parts like wings, then taking them off again, or letting hair grow, and then chopping it off again. All these things are reverting the evolution again.
→ No suddenly changing clothes into completely different clothes. "Evolve" the clothing too!
No, rule, but a tip: Make sure your Knuffel starts out as simple as possible. The more things you add to the first stage, the more difficult it will be to make significant evolutions in the further stages.
→ No sudden transformations into something completely different
→ No hatching
→ No growth
Keep in mind that "evolution" is the key word. Make your Knuffel evolve. It is not a plant that grows from a seed, not an animal that hatches from an egg, not a magical girl that transforms into something different in the blink of an eye, and not some random dude that changes his clothes to go out with his girlfriend.

Firn, I'd like to make a knuffel using a corset like they used to wear back in the day.
But it would require slimming down the knuffel's abdomen.
I wasn't sure if I could do it or not.
Here's the reference image so you know exactly what I'm asking:

Moi, you are free to use whatever base you like and alter the base however you like. (edit: Eh, of course I mean, whatever base you like and have permission to use) The only problems occur when the base is generally too short, too thick, to wide or to high to fill out the whole space (like for example with non-chibi bases), but if you just slip down the waist that is not a problem at all.

Hi.
I need help. Haha.
What changes does this knuffel need?On second stage, I also lengthened the hair.
Which two stages look similar? I am confused.
Also, can I have some ideas on it? It can be clothes, hair, etc.
Sorry Firn. ^__^;

I think the problem with him is that he doesn't appear to change all that drastically at all. Other than markings on his body and his shoes, he's mostly the same throughout.
I'm not the best with suggestions, but the easiest thing to do for starters would be to have him start out as a normal boy, with the tail then ears coming in the second and third stages perhaps. :)

Oh!
That's smart. :'D Thank you. LOL.
I'll start him off as a normal boy.
And then ears and then tail.

Thank you so much!

Yep, sadly he does not evolve at all. He starts out as a catboy and ends as a catboy. You add tons of tiny tiny things, like scratches, but he actually should have at least 3 major changes per stage. Sadly he doesn't have any major change in any of his stages.

Thank you Firn! ^__^;
Sorry.
When it comes to designing and things like that, I have a very stupid mind.
I just keep staying in a straight line. o_o;
I'll go change it. Haha.
Does having a tiger nose count as a major change?

Well I'm not Firn, but I think if it's an obvious change, it may be ok. Maybe give him the nose and whiskers at the same time? ^_^
