Hello artists and art appreciators! Ordinarily, I would simply post this in the (Re-)Design thread - and, in fact, I will do just that. However, usually that nets one revision, or sometimes none, and is really more useful for a 'problem' costume. I'd like to collect a half-dozen or so.
Here's the project:

Hero ID: 'Kitten Dreams'
"Hi, my name is Kitty and they say I’m a ‘Dreamer’.
"All I know is that I can make people fall asleep and have really bad dreams, and sometimes bad things happen to them in those dreams. "Sometimes, I can even make my dreams ‘manifest’ and cause real things to happen. Sometimes they are nice dreams, sometimes they are not.
"So, now I’m a hero and I go around putting bad guys to sleep and giving them nightmares, and then they wake up in the Zig - right?"
Deep background - Somewhere in Paragon City, there is a hospital and in that hospital is a sad, quiet ward, where sad, quiet children lie, each one in a coma. Once, Lucy Dreamtime spent a period there, but she woke up, eventually, and moved on.
However, while she was there, she created and manifested a 'Dream Warrior' to guard her sleep. She didn't want to create anything Scary, so she came up with Kitty. Kitty's existence might have been ephemeral, but Lucy inadvertently harnessed the sleeping dream-power of All of the children on the ward. Now, Kitty is entirely autonomous - except that she has no real 'past', before she became a hero and she still 'works out the issues' of the dreaming children who lend her power.
Amazingly, since Kitty manifested, More of the children eventually wake up and go home, but Kitty's power and her belief in herself continues to grow.
Kitty speaks simply and quietly, with all of the joy and secret wisdom of a child. She knows a great deal - perhaps as much as all of the sleeping minds in Paragon City, but it does not color her simplicity. She 'knows' evil and fights it every day, but she does not fear it.
So, she's a cute little cat-girl-child, she's only existed for 3 or maybe 5 years (I don't remember exactly). However, the children (and others) of Paragon have dreamed her into power and their dreams would/could/should quite naturally shape her manifestation.
What I'd like to see is a bunch of variations, different visions of a heroic little warrior that might help a child 'win' in their dreams. An optional track might be the visions of the Villains that she defeats - the 'horrid little monster' that put them in jail. But mostly I'm looking for 'child visions' and/or the shapes she might gain from other special people, like Sister Psyche, Penny Yin, and other psychic/dream/mental magic heroes that might have encountered or helped/been helped by her in the past.
Here's her current form - note she's more 'girl' than 'cat' but any hair/fur will be silvery blue-white.
