If it kept the annoyed expression and the black stripes/spots, I think I'd like the revamp a lot more- it otherwise looks pretty good! I was sad to see my DM Kerubi's expression change so much after so many years, and... yeah, the dark grey + purple combo is way too similar to the Twilight Kerubi. :c
I can understand why people who own one might be disappointed over the change in expression, but I like the new one so much better. There's a lot of DM pets that look annoyed or sinister even though there doesn't seem to be a standard expression for the color. I like that this Kerubi looks worried and almost.. tired. It's a different feel from most pet poses/colors that we have and opens up more possibilities.
I do agree though, it'd be nice if it was little bit lighter.
Yeah tbh this one isn’t my favorite. I’ll never be able to unsee how alike it is to the color of the Twilight one, and I definitely miss the generally pissed off and genuinely disgruntled look of the old one. And where are the spots beside the stripes on the tail? I’m always excited to see pet related content being released, but this time, I’m pretty disappointed. The shading is a great improvement and the artist did a wonderful job, but this is definitely not my favorite revamp.
I'm looking at my twilight Kerubi now, and noting how awfully similar the colouring is.

It's tail doesn't look fluffy enough, and agree that it could be a few stages lighter, but I think overall it looks nice. DM ontra next pls?
The dark matter kerubi was one of my first dream pets and I am very happy to see this revamp! I love it so much ;o;
I like the pose of the new revamp; however, I'm not a fan of a few things:
Also... I really liked the face on the old version. This one looks.. too happy to be a dark pet.
Much better than that old and cell shaded art. Absolutely lovely and modern.
Everything is adorable expect the ear tips... both ears are not equal. Left ear tip should flip down to matched as right ear or an older art's ears were better. Add a bit more glow on tail, shoulder and arm if you already left a teeny tiny glow... then add more or take them out. Add black eye inner corners.
Love it, by far better ❤
I like the revamp. It looks darker in a way? makes me want to get one... but why was the pose changed? Sigh... I understand that breathing fresh air into stuff sometimes means changing a lot of stuff.... but when it comes to subeta art.... most of us want better lines, better texture and shading, and not really making an entirely new art for the item. considering i wasnt inclined to get the old DM Kerubi, but i like the new one.... the artist had a good inspiration. to the disappointment of many users....
I like it HOWEVER I don't really understand why staff keeps changing the overall personality while revamping a Pet. Many of us users choose our Pets carefully and with a reason...
ahhh i appreciate the artist's work!! but i really don't like this revamp at all ; ___ ; the markings don't stand out against the fur at all, and while i like the pose, i don't think there was anything wrong with the old one to warrant changing. i really like the two angry looking dark matter balls though, those are a neat touch! :' D
I'm torn. I do like the revamp, but at the same time, I miss the personality of the previous version.
I'm not a fan of this revamp, the biggest thing is that the personality is entirely different now. The old kerubi looked annoyed, and this revamped pet has an entirely different feel. I'm able to see brush strokes around the tail markings that are present (1 - 4), and echoing that the spot markings that go around the tail stripes are nonexistent as well.
I like this revamp! So cute :)
Adorable, although it looks apprehensive in expression and body language. I feel like it needs some reassurance. HUGS IT ❤
Aaaa awesome now Dain can have a fitting color!!
You sure are hard to please.. ?
I agree...I have a DM Kerubi and I'm not entirely happy with this. The anatomy and coloring/shading are wonky. The purple stripes kinda just blend in unnoticed, they looked better when they were black. I like the new face better though ^^. Maybe it's just something I need to get used to, I've had my Kerubi for a loooong time
The shading is definitely improved, but I liked the expression and colours of the old one more. ;__; Gonna have to find a new colour/species combo for my old Luxxa.
i kind of forgot this color existed nice to see an update for it, it's definitely a big improvement
... The headwings are so uneven I can't unsee it - the back is larger AND higher on the head - and one of the most important parts of the design, the spots on the tail among the stripes, are totally non-existent? I'm not usually so negative about revamps but this one needs FIXING.
Thanks for showing the original version. It is a wonderful revamp! I am looking forward to the release of their Blob version! :D
Oh, how adorable. And finally another Kerubi besides Chibi that I like. (:
Apologies for the low quality, I didn't notice it at first. Here's a cleaner version of the original:

aughhh so many cool pets, so few slots ;__;
Really pretty revamp <3
Original:

Awww cute
Cute and menacing... A tough combo to achieve. Good work!
aw its cute.
We're not hard to please...
I can't speak for anyone else (but I see a lot of comments regarding the same issues on this revamp).
Now, personally speaking, I'm not a fan of this revamp because a lot of things are just not matching to Kerubi in general.
