Alternate fakemon Arsoline

I WANT TO MARK BOTH IN THE BEGINNING AND END OF DESCRIPTION THAT THIS IS REDESIGN OF FAKEMON THAT
IS NOT MY OWN, IT'S ONLY A REDESIGN.

The original Arsoline is found in fanmade game Pokemon Ethereal gates, you can see it here:

Why redesign on this Fakemon?

In my personal opinion it needs redesign. It looks simple as first stage and lifebuoy around its neck which I guess resembles the mane
which will grow even further in next evolution doesn't fit fire/elctric type, because it makes me think it's pat of water type.
The tail adds a perception it's a fishtail, somehow. Having in mind what Fakemon creator wanted to do with this middle stage, I created my redesign
to not only share it, but hopefully show to Fakemon's creator to help it make Fakemon better if will agree with my point.
However I consider it's more of only showing my thought rather than trying to impose it on original Fakemon creator.

What did you changed/added? Why?
WHAT ARE THOOOOSE?!

a.k.a my commentary:

- the head redesign is less important, but I felt the "hair" should mark the fire type more being more
wavy. The arrow is personal detail which both adds something unique to this middle stage only as well as
in the next stage changes into triangular shape on its head. In sketch progress I jst looked at both
Kittorch yellow spots and Pyrolinx yellow mark on the head and tried to fit it into something simple.
The V-shaped spikes came from original yellow "spikes" which refer to lynx hair tufts, but Pokemon
are inspired on animals, they should ne like Ekans, a recolored cartoon animal. V-shape is inspired both
on arrow which is often shown in cartoon lighting drawings and official fire type Victini.

-the collar is the main flaw in original Fakemon in my opinion. If i could draw it realisically, it would be
a wavy, fluffy mane collar used to store heat, but originally Pokemon are cartoonized creatures.
That's why I decided to mark it's fire type by adding sun theme. Maybe I was thinking about official
Pokemon Heliolisk, maybe not. I was thinking about tellow edge, but I thought it would change original
Fakemon way too much as well as not separate the white muzzle from the collar.

- the body and legs add its electric type, because right after evolving this Fakemon learns thundrshock
because it gained electric type while being purely fire. The pure orange body seemed a bit "empty"
in my eyes, especially that the final stage has even more striped than Arcanine and Arsoline is based
on lynx which are full of spots. This sames me think that it should resemble beauty of felines,
because many domestic cats has pretty fur "texture" too!
That's why spots. They're lined up to connect visually to the tail which was a bulb in previous stage
and now is capable of creating electricity according to Pokedex entry
of this Fakemon. If animated, those spots would light up. The bolr on hind leg marks electric type
and resembles slightly a stripe of tiger-like evolution, Pyrolinx. Frong legs felt rushed and to-be-developed
in my opinion, so in my redesign I took inspiration from base of the light bulb(same as in the tail)
and changed "fur" to make it appear more like a bolt.

- the tail was another big flaw of Arsoline in my opinion, because it doesn't connect first and final stage,
it only refers to the last stage. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but if Kittorch tail resemble a bulb
and there are many types of them, I think it's a shame to not take an inspiration from it.
I saw also many stylished lamps, including flower-inspired ones. I think Kittorch took inspiration
from them, but I might be wrong. Here in my fakemon redesign I took inspiration from bulb build and
both hexagonal and candle light bulbs. Being inspired by Lynx tail, I decided to make it short and
resemble a bulb even more. From a bobtail cat I made a bulbtail one x3

aand...that's all! thank you so much for reading
