Call me weird but your edit looks more cat like to me than the proposed revamp. The revamp is doggy like, for me, and I don't mind that.

I'm definitely in favour of the new design, but I also think it is more of a kitten face right now than an otter face. I think the muzzle should be changed up a little, make it wider or maybe don't let it stick out that much. Or make the cheeks less puffy. I believe otter faces are more of a diamond-ish shape. I know that's meant to look cute, but I think it should have a more unique style and not look like a Feli with fins.

's version with the smaller eyes and without the line is really adorable! I love that, and I think I prefer it that way.

The new art looks great! The extra digits on the paws look nice, and the ears! I never knew how much the ontra needed ears until this new art!

I have a few nitpics, but overall I do think it looks better. First, the ontra seems to have lost a bit of it's mischievous look. Perhaps the new expression is part of it? If the ears weren't pulled back it might help a lot. And the extra fins might be an unnecessary addition.

Other than that, I love it!

I really like the new revamp. The only thing I have to as is maybe shrink the eyes just a tad? They seem just a little to big for me and it makes them look a bit weird. That's just my personal opinion though. Overall, I love the revamp so much more than the original and will definitely be getting one.

- I think I see it too. :P

I tried narrowing the lower jaw, but it still looks pretty kitten-like. This might even be worse?

I mean, it's different, but it might just be change for the sake of change. I think at this point it's purely subjective. The original revamp is still fantastic. :)

It has ears now! :D

I do think the head is a bit too small. Mind you, that could just be because I'm so used to the size of the current Ontra's head. I can't anatomy either.

This is a great improvement compared to the previous version. The skull is properly portioned to the rest of the body and the snout is oval-shaped than square. Adorable. ❤

Don't like the smaller eyes. The wider mouth is not good either. It makes the face look really weird. This user suggestion just seems really off-putting. It makes it look like a really ugly dog.

I would love to see the line on the forehead gone though...o.o

I love the new revamp save a few things..the extra fins on the tail and the ears I don't like. I feel the ears should be round. But I really love it over the old.

At first I was hesitant on the downward ears, but they are starting to grow on me! I absolutely love the tail appendages. Adds some uniqueness to what could normally be a plain ol' tail. I like the user edits that have broadened the nasal area, and thinned the chin. It looks more align with aquatic face shapes. But I like the big eyes :)

I&;m not a fan of the tail. I know this is an Ontra, not an otter, but neither the Sea nor the River otters have fins on the tail. It looks really odd mixing an Otter with what is more of a whale&;s tail. Otters&; tails are sleet and fin-free. This is one thing that&;s really bugged me about the Ontra, having fins on the tail.</p>

But why would they remove the tail fin because it doesn't make the fictional creature look exactly like the real life creature ? Snakes don't have wings. Should we chop off the serpenth's wings? You said it best yourself, "this is an Ontra, not an otter."

I think that the Ontra revamp needs a small amount of work but I love what your doing with it. I liked the Ontra face and body turned slightly to the right it made it look like it was floating on water. Also I don't like the ears that much. Other than that I love what you guys are doing with the revamp I would love to see what you do from this point on.

Thank you for reading :)

Decided to try a quick edit to show what changes I'd personally make c:

Made the eyes a little smaller since it really did look sort of chibi to me beforehand, tried to make the expression a little less timid. I think that adding more 'alert'-looking ears really helps make the ontra look less shy, though obviously the actual artist would do MUCH better than I did. :P I added a little bit of lighter color to the area of the tail I was complaining about earlier hahaha, feel free to ignore that though. I also widened the muzzle a bit, because personally I think the ontra would look fantastic with a slightly wider one! It makes the face less similar to the feli without being too much wider, and helps make it a little more otter-ish to me, rather than having such a cat-like face. (Which I don't mind too terribly, but I just think it'd be cuter and a little less "merkitty"-ish and more otter-kitty this way.)

yes i really do need more

Loving the revamp, I suggest slightly smaller eyes and a taller forehead, also perhaps a furry outline at the top, like the original. Overall art quality much better, can't wait! Well done!

Beautiful revamp, adore the expression. I appreciate how it doesn't stray too far from the original.
