Dillema update! And a Darkonite poll...




Giant plush pets are sure to get a little worn over the years with all those hugs and using them as trampolines, but restoring them isn't too difficult a task! The dillema has received a full species rejuvenation, and is also now available in nuclear!

The darkonite, however, absolutely hates being cleaned up in any way. But this may be its time! Please come and vote in our poll and let us know what you think about the darkonite's new look!

I'm sorry to say that i've never paid much attention to the dillema, so i can't give my opinion on the before and after. However, it looks nice!

The darkonite is AWESOME. my ONLY even POSSIBLY negative opinion would be that it'd be nice if the tail was still lifted. Gives it some attitude. But awesome.

This is a lovely revamp. I am so glad the artists here pay attention to our critiques. This is much nicer than the last proposed revamp. I go agree that the tails seem to blend in a little bit too much- give them some contrast and it will be lovely.

Oh, and the Dillema updates are really really nice. The colors are more rich, and the refreshed line art has so much more depth. I just realized the Dillema has pins sticking out of it's head ^_^;

I actually don't like the new Darkonite ^^" I kinda liked how he was a bit disproportionate with his small body and big head. It made his spike and bone? markings stand out much more. He doesn't look as badass as he used to.

I do like the how the feet look but maybe if the tails flipped up like it did in the old one, that one back leg won't look so big

The new Dillema doesn't look much different than it did before except a bit smoother and, it might just be me, but a bit fatter too. Maybe it's just cause it looks a bit squashed in, or I'm just seeing things.

The Darkonite looks much better. :)

My main issue with the proposed Darkonite are those back feet. The tails conveniently cover up the closest back leg and it makes that whole leg look bloated up, and the hooves appear too large and clunky compared to the size of it's body. The hoof proportions on the Glacier, Bloodred, and Dark Matter Darkonite look a lot better in my opinion. Okay, oooone last little thing, I think the lower leg markings could afford to be just a touch lighter. I'm not sure if it's just my eyes, but the color is so dark that the front paws start to lose their details because of how close the dark red is to the black outlines.

The new darkonite is great!! The only small issue I have with it, is the fact that now a tuft of hair covers the exposed brain bit. That part was really cool in the old darkonite. Otherwise, I voted for the new one. c:

Never cared much for the dillemas, but still nice to see a revamp!

The only thing negative I could say about the darkonite is that the back legs look too thick. Other than that, awesome u

I do really like the darkonite revamp but it needs more brain showing! 8C

Other than that the only other issues I had were some places the lineart blended in with the shading, etc. And the fact that the butt spikes being moved farther back makes the back look super plain, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Also, belly scale armor whatever it is, looks off to me on the stomach, not entirely sure why. It amazing new art though.

The new Darkonite is nice! But maybe do something about its tails so they don't blend in or you can tell them apart. Other than that, great!

The art of the new darkonite is well polished, but I think the pose looks kinda boring :P I liked the 'chibi' look on the old one xD

I very much like the new Darkonite, but its tails should swing out inside of staying so close to the body, to differentiate them a little more from its legs. I also agree with others that the expression is a little too sweet. But the art is really good!

Hmmmm, I dunno..... The way it's turning over its shoulder but still looking forward makes it look more cutesy than Darkonites usually are, and I still don't understand their heads... Is it made of stone, or is it wearing a stone helmet? Either way, how can its fleshy parts overlap the stone the way they do and where does that tuft of hair come from? What are those spikes on its cheeks used for? The way they're angled forward doesn't look practical, and the spikes on its butt just look out of place... Maybe its just me being the evolutionary biology enthusiast I am, but the Darkonite's anatomy just doesnt make any natural sense __;; That might ((probably)) just be me tho... And the artwork itself is really really good ((it looks more realistic than the current one)), just.. I dont understand the design _;;

I think the Darkonite's back legs look a little too big for the rest of him but this is a huge improvement :D

the new dillemas look pretty good! i'm particularly enamored of the dawn one—i think that pink and gold blend is just working really well.

i'm happy with the revamped darkonite, but maybe it looks a little docile?

I love the detail and general design of the new Darkonite, it's really well drawn! The only thing that I dislike is the fact that it looks so sweet. It's expression says come hither, I liked how the original darkonite looked like he'd try and take a bite out of you if you got too close.

on second thought, after looking at the darkonite a bit, the tails do blend in with the back legs a bit. i'm still very partial to this, but i'd like to see that fixed before the revamp is pushed.

Love the new Darkonite, it´s amazing. I just kinda dislike the fact that the Dillema didn´t get that much change at all while the Warador did some ago, I loved the old Warador, why couldn´t it stay the way it was =X But well, just my point of view

Voted for the new Darkonite, but for some reason I was really impressed by the Gold Dillema's new shading the most. I hope to see the other revamped colours in a revamp forum topic tomorrow :)

The art and anatomy are much much better on the new Darkonite, but I miss the amount of expression in the old one's face. :( Instead of scowling this one just looks kind of blah and neutral.

Almost, on the Darkonite--its front feet aren't on the same horizontal plane as the back feet. Floating just a tiny bit. Might be partly due to the downward tilt on the hooves.

The eyes are great, the tail and markings and... horn-bits stuck on, I don't know what to call those. Just fix the alignment of the feet and I'm 100%.

maybe fix up the legs a little? perhaps a little bit of red fur showing on the ear bits? other than that it looks great the face is a large improvement. I also agree with the other person on the tail position

It looks great, but it's missing the famous scowl that the Darkonite is famous for. That's the only thing I would say needed changing. Good work!

The new darkonite looks incredible! The shading and detail is so beautifully done. Also, the overall look has been maintained which is really nice! The eyes still have the "I don't give a crap" attitude, nothing looks chunky and cutesy, the "ribbing" elements are nice and sharp. This one is great!

I love the new, updated look of the Darkonite, but something about it still seems 'off'. Maybe it's because the tails are down? They don't really stand out against the rest of the body in that relaxed position. I almost didn't even see them, to be honest.

projected darko looks WAY better than the previous proposal. i was kind of hoping for a more drastic revamp of the dillema than a shading update, but it's nice to see that pet get some attention anyway.

I love the darkonite, but I think it might look better with the tails up, because now they are slightly hard to see against the rest of the body while up they are visible in all their glory.
