Re: Why was my Wild Knuffel rejected?

Eylis: The problem I have with your Knuffel is that nothing really changes.
She gets "more" of what she already had in the previous stage in each stage - more hair, more bark, more butterflies, but there is actually nothing new, expect for the 2 butterflies (which in stage 3 are so tiny that they are hardly noticeable and don't make any big change to the stage before), the new eyecolor in stage 3, and the tree bark instead of legs in the final stage.
If you look at them all together at once you see that they do evolve, but if you look at one stage after another, like I do in my admin panel, the stages look all really really similar.
Suggestions to fix it:
In stage 1 I would remove the leaves in her hair, then that would already be enough change to stage 2. I also see that you slowly make her skin greener, but the difference between each single stage is very small, and hardly noticeable. It would probably work better as a change if you kept her skin color the same in the first 2 or 3 stages, and then change it to the final color at once. I would also remove a bit of the lashes in the first and/or second stage. I can't say for sure because I would need to look at the result again, but I think if divide the suggested changes of hair, skin color, lashes properly between stage 1-4 that could already be enough to approve the Knuffel. You would not really need to re-draw anything, just shift the changes around a bit and remove a few things from the beginning.
I would advice against a completely nude Knuffel. personally I don't have any problem with that, but as I have learned from our users there are some people who will even feel offended by a bare shoulder, so I would not suggest to take the risk. Your Knuffel's private parts should be covered.
l-lappy: Yeah, I feel like stage 1-2 could need slightly bit more change, but as long as this is limited to single stages it is alright for me to approve them. Just don't like to approve Knuffel that lack change in several stages. So, yeah, I guess I would approve it like this, thank you for going through the effort of editing it.

I hope that it will be enough, if not... I'll see if I can add something!
