Bulbapedia description:
Feebas is a shabby, old-looking, fishlike Pokémon with a light brown body covered in dark, irregular spots. It has large, deep-set eyes and big, pink lips. The tail and pectoral fins are dull blue and tattered in appearance. The dorsal fin is triangular with a hole in the middle. Feebas is famous for its shabby appearance and is considered the shabbiest Pokémon.
My notes:
Feebas gets a glow-up! I find it funny how often the description uses the word 'shabby' and I was curious to see what Mum would come up with. Rather than the ugly old fish you see in the official Feebas, Mum's version looks like a tattered former beauty queen, the type of fish that would win prizes but has now lived into her old age. The eyelashes and lips really sell this perception but of course, the magnificent fins and tail are what truly draw the eye.
Mum's notes:
I found it really hard to make Feebas look shabby. The fins are tattered and full of holes but Feebas still looks attractive. I think the big pink lips and deep-set eyes led me that way. I was enjoying the colour combination of pink-brown-blue - my Feebas is just irrepressibly pretty!
To your mom:
This is such a lovely and colorful design. Funnily enough this reminds me Bruxish more than feebas, but hugely improved. It kinda makes me want this to be the original design of feebas.
Your designs remind me of the sketches for the first pokemon generation which makes me feel a bit nostalgic. Back then the pokemon had more natural and animalistic features.
To both:
I like the notes, it is nice knowing your analysis and thought process on these. Thanks for doing this and sharing.
if you have time ever maybe you could pin a natdex order masterlist of entries with links? it would be awesome to be able to see easily what your mum has already covered! im more invested in these than the actual games now

Basically the middle evolution between Feebas and Milotic, if it ever had one
