Subeautique Revamp: Rainyday Solar Flare

August 15, 2014, 3:20 pm by

I think I have half of these in my wardrobe but since it's still broken guess I can't use them. Please fix the old wardrobe (& get rid of the new one). Nice to see sets getting some updates.

August 15, 2014, 3:19 pm by

nnn I really don't like the yellow sun, I'll only use those items if I can cover the sun itself in the future :/

August 15, 2014, 3:18 pm by

Oh... Oh dear... The bright yellow on the accessories is extremely bizarre since the brightness of the overall outfit was removed. I LIKED how loose the kimono was, with the furisode sleeves pushed up to see the hands and hem looking like it was lifted. It was playful. It looked more realistic like heavy silk layers and now it's like... Drapy boring chiffon or something :< The hair is okay, the ponytail bit in the back and scalp looks a tad off since its such a naturally sleek style.

Of all the things to revamp this was least in need of a revamp and the revamp isn't that great. I like the flares on the accessories but the glows are rather yellow. And that kimono looks kinda dark now.

August 15, 2014, 3:16 pm by

You know what? I actually kinda like the hair revamp. The original wig was so shiny and plastic-looking to me. However, I agree the little hair against the cheek is weird though. I do miss the darker oranges in the jewelry. :(

August 15, 2014, 3:13 pm by

I know you guys put in time and effort with these revamps and i normally like them but this set falls flat for me, I really loved some of the pieces, but the necklace is just to bright for me to use, it looks more gaudy and not so delicate, the leg wraps are very in your face too

August 15, 2014, 3:12 pm by

I need so many pieces...

August 15, 2014, 3:08 pm by

When seeing both, the old and new set, side by side, the older variety is a lot more detailed and more beautiful. I wish I would have been around already to snatch up the old version. The new is pretty, too, yet the old one is gorgeous. <3

August 15, 2014, 3:03 pm by

I think the hair looks better with more height added to it, but I wish the accents for the other pieces had been kept in the orange realm. The necklace and earrings use to be favorite jewelry pieces of mine but that is one bright ass yellow now. I think this is the visit revamp I'm pretty bummed about all the revamps :/

August 15, 2014, 3:01 pm by

I actually really liked the little flare accessories but now? not so much. the darker lines were much better and the new brightness/yellow to them looks awful with the rest of the outfit.

Overall this is the worst revamp imo

August 15, 2014, 3:01 pm by

wow, i really like this revamp. this line was one of my fav, and the artist managed to make it more vibrant, and not to take it off my fav list. thanks. :D now i have to buy the last missing piece[s] i forgot what i still needed to have a complete set

August 15, 2014, 2:58 pm by

I LOVE the new KIMONO ❤ 😮

August 15, 2014, 2:58 pm by

Oh my......this is the one set that just didn't need a revamp. I really liked the old version and I prefer that one. The new version just isn't it, makes me don't even want to use this anymore :(

Can the artist please look at it again and try to match the new version some more to the older version (especially the wig)?

August 15, 2014, 2:53 pm by

I still love the kimono, just wish it didn't completely cover the hands.

August 15, 2014, 2:52 pm by

I like the way the new flares on the pieces look. Other than that, compared to the older version, I dislike the rest of the revamp. :/

August 15, 2014, 2:51 pm by

Oh my... This is much worse than the original line. I LOVED that kimono... now it's ruined.... The hair I like, but the rest is just hideous... The ankle wraps are so ugly now... and the jewelry is rather fuzzy and just different altogether. Please, please take this one back to the working board... :C

August 15, 2014, 2:49 pm by

Le sad face Why did the kimono have to change so much though?

August 15, 2014, 2:46 pm by

Old --- New

The old preview was already posted, but I like side-by-side comparisons :)

August 15, 2014, 2:43 pm by

I just don't get it. Sorry. The wig I can almost deal with if the lines on the one side where a little smoother and not jagged. But the kimono? The lines are awful. The old art had smoother lines. Plus the color is smudged over the lines on the sleeves. I just don't get how this is "new revamped art".

August 15, 2014, 2:41 pm by

I guess I'm weird because I really like the revamp outfit <3

I have to agree though that I prefer the old hair much better. The new one looks a bit poofy? :x

August 15, 2014, 2:40 pm by

Im starting to feel like all the Subq sets are getting downgraded as opposed to upgraded. Another revamp im not happy with. Its so dull in color now, the hair is too big and the kimono is just flat now.

August 15, 2014, 2:40 pm by

This was my favorite set for a long time when I joined subeta, and I have to admit I strongly dislike this revamp. The hair is too bulky and unwieldy, the kimono looks totally different from what I fell in love with- much less vibrant, and the jewels look cheap and blurry.

I usually say eh and move on, but this time I really hope the artist works on these some more. If this is the best that can be done, I hope the set is reverted to what it was. :(

August 15, 2014, 2:37 pm by

I actually really liked the old anklets better...and the old headpiece. I do like the hair and kimono revamp, but the little suns look so much more cartoony now, and the flares a little less elegant. I mean I guess the added glow is nice but...

August 15, 2014, 2:35 pm by

i'm not sure what to think about the kimono. everything especially the jewelry seems flat? revamp is no longer vibrant like the old art. :/

August 15, 2014, 2:34 pm by

Ohh, I like the new hair. I didnt like the glossy style. And the kimono looks alot better! The wrap didnt have to change though.

August 15, 2014, 2:32 pm by

Now that I've had a chance to really look at it for a bit.........

Yea, I REALLY don't like the new hair. It's just too big. Too much volume. I hate big hair because its impossible to work layers with. The old wig was definitely better. Smoother. Prettier. Easier to work with. (I feel this way about the revamped Tropical wig too. STOP MAKING WIGS TOO BIG TO LAYER WITH, PLEASE.)

I think I can learn to get used to the new accessories. The fiery bits are pretty damn awesome looking. I just wish the sun-shaped bases were more ORANGE like the old ones. Maybe adjust the colors for us a bit? Make the overlays match their item images; more orange, less yellow. They'd look better then.

And okay, yes, I actually do like the new kimono. Nice detail and I like how it hugs the body, especially in the skirt. I kinda like the old sleeves better, I love how the fingers used to peek out, but I can deal.

Just... the wig. No. Toomuchfluff.

August 15, 2014, 2:28 pm by

ehh i dont exactly hate this revamp but i dont exactly think the lines on the art here fit the colouring. it looks? a little too thick like the lineart was done without pen pressure or smth. but the colouring on the wig and kimono is just lovely ill give you that and that kimono just looks like its made of something like silk or another thin material thats relatively unfitting for it, :/

August 15, 2014, 2:26 pm by

Wig aside, I really like everything here! I like the brighter yellow!

August 15, 2014, 2:26 pm by

why

August 15, 2014, 2:20 pm by

Ew. >:s

August 15, 2014, 2:14 pm by

What did you do to the kimono?!?!?!? Its terrible! !! My fave item in the world!

August 15, 2014, 2:11 pm by

Darn, I was buying Rainyday sets yesterday, should've bought this one too. Hopefully the prices aren't too bad for them. Though judging by these comments, I may be the only one who actually likes these. xD

August 15, 2014, 1:59 pm by

The may be the first revamp where I'm finding it hard to say anything constructive. The whole orange look is gone and the suns are too yellow, the earrings (my fave piece) seem to have lost their geometric shape, which is a pity, since I really liked that about them In pieces like this were the detail is small, I can honestly say that each piece with a sun probably DIDN'T need to be revamped.

August 15, 2014, 1:56 pm by

I liked how the old kimono was held by the HA. And yeah the yellow is sort of bla. But props to the artist, they put effort into it. Having us vote on designs is a waste of time. Artists could be working on 3 things instead of wasting time on a design that just gets trashed. Quit complaining people life goes on. Sheesh.

August 15, 2014, 1:52 pm by

nnnnnnooooooooo :(

August 15, 2014, 1:51 pm by

Awe, the old look was one of my favorites. :< Not a fan of this new look. Though, some of the new detail is nice. ....And I'm really lamenting that I didn't get the last two pieces of the set I was missing before this revamp. OTL Even if I don't care for it as much, the art is still well done. Thank you for your time all the same.

August 15, 2014, 1:51 pm by

unpopular opinion idk i actually like this revamp. though, save for how yellow the little suns are. i preferred the dark orange/gold sheen of those before

August 15, 2014, 1:50 pm by

I have to agree about the jewelry looking cheap. The coloring just seems flat. It is too one colored, where as before, it had a little more flare. I do like the kimono and wig better than. But the jewelry is what I had liked most about it before. :(

August 15, 2014, 1:45 pm by

Wow... the old set was way better. This one is the worst let down. Ruined.

August 15, 2014, 1:44 pm by

Sometimes, the old version of an item is just that, old, and horrible.

Like Klassikal said, for 90% of revamps, there is no reason to want the old art.

August 15, 2014, 1:43 pm by

here&;s a thought... how about we get the "option" to transform revamped items? wouldn&;t it end the drama? keep the old version or choose the new one, your choice! no?

THIS. PLEASE?

August 15, 2014, 1:40 pm by

Keeping outdated art on site is a silly idea. Stuff has to be revamped and kept current. It'd be silly to leave outdated art just because some people prefer it, I imagine it'd be a weight on the servers as well.

That being said, I wish that some of the stuf that isn't in drastic need of a revamp would be but towards the back.

August 15, 2014, 1:40 pm by

polling is a terrific idea! it gets my vote!

also, i believe adding a transform feature is doable. all it needs is to decide which option is the default item. you know just like many object on the site i.e. elegant comb | elegant brush...

August 15, 2014, 1:38 pm by

Love it. <3

August 15, 2014, 1:34 pm by

I miss the old headpiece. The yellow-ish colors on the new one make it look plastic-like...the kimono looks great though.

August 15, 2014, 1:34 pm by

Silvanesti, items are never polled because it's too minor. Nothing would get done

August 15, 2014, 1:33 pm by

I do agree with the poll idea, and not just for SubQ redraws, but character redraws, too. It would be nice to get two or three artists to make their versions of each set/character and letting us vote, but it's probably not the most do-able of choices.

August 15, 2014, 1:33 pm by

I like the item art for everything and I like the wrap and the kimono but I strongly dislike the changes in everything else. The hair looks way too big and super flat. The suns in the item images have a orange center but in the wearable it is yellow, and way too yellow.

August 15, 2014, 1:32 pm by

While I like the idea of them being transformable, it just really isn't feasible I don't think. The revamp pieces are only available via random draw in Gift of Fashions Past, and Drills if they give him the chance of giving them out again. And when you have wardrobe and Subeautique collectors, they would need two of each. And with pieces like the Eddie Bell LoliPOP wig and the Rainyday Desert Rose henna tattos already being pretty rare and hard to find, prices would just get worse.

Though I'd gladly pay an arm and a leg to get the old jewelry back. :(

August 15, 2014, 1:30 pm by

Why can't you do a poll about the SubQ line revamps in the poll center like you did with the darkonite revamp? You would get a sense of if people like the new line better than the old. I know the artists are spending their time creating these revamps, but it's not like we want them on everything.
