What a fun mix of revamps to start off the new year!
Note: Only the overlay for the Woodcutters Wolf Tooth has been updated.

God please hear my pray and revert that mess because there is a very art scholar here that thinks an anime styled wolf is exactly the same to a realistic wolf draw.
Thank you my lord.
Not a fan of...any of this.
I don't mind when people are disappointed or upset - but when someone's ONLY response is "I hate this, it looks wrong" then that's just uncalled for. I am SO TIRED of the people who take swings at the artists who are trying their best - probably doing it more OUT OF PASSION than for the pay rate!!! - and have NO concern for their feelings and effort. Fine, critique them, but don't attack them because you think they can't draw a wolf.
can we just remove all wolf wearables bc some ppl are too invested
you're all really into wolves, huh
Its almost as if this site is filled with furries who know a thing or two about how animals should look.
Ohhh I love the new woodcutter's wolf tool!! It's so cute <3
Very nice art-work, thanks!
Sad, isn't it?
It looks like I am not the only one who is wishing that the gryphon heart could be wearable! :D I am not sure what the overlay might look like, but anything involving gryphons would make me super happy. <3
All the new art looks lovely, but I can see why there are some people who don't care for the new wolves. They are quite drastically different from the originals, even though the art was obviously outdated and in need of improvement. The difference in coloration, posing, and style makes them seem like a totally different items. Unfortunately, it seems to be the standard with revamps that some people will be disappointed. :(
man people get really mad about wolf drawings online huh
ahhh the flirtations used to be my favourite wearable! this is taking me back
The new Wolf Tooth art looks great! The color patterns are really pretty and the expression is spicy
I need to go play with my new Succubus wig though because there's so much hair volume now!
No offense but what is going on in here
Oh Lord, do I feel old. I just got flashbacks to the day the Succubus and Incubus items were first released.
Besides the butthurt in the comments, I really don't know how a person could like a '''wolf''' with flat painting, outdated style, MS paint done, weak details and messy anatomy&angle.
''Don touch ma precious itam!''
Bruh
:D I absolutely love that and got a revamp. They look amazing. They looked nice before but I feel like i'll use them more now.
The new Wolves looks awesome, especially the Mysterious Pendant was so out dated it's use able now. Also looks much more like a wolf! thanks again staff.
yeah, I really liked how the old Flirtations were different colours since it set them apart from the other heart items on the site! I love the new art, I just wish they weren't all the same colour now. Makes them stand out less.
just don't forget to be civil with your opinions. ;)
MA GOD I HAVE MOST OF THAT ITEMS
THANKS ANTECIPATION SENSE.
I'm not sure how I feel about the pendant wolf's revamp splayed front feet, but at least its forward facing foot doesn't just have two mutant toes anymore. Even if I was a far, far more talented artist I doubt I'd know where to begin redlining that poor scruff!
Big love for all the shiny TC fodder c:
Heh. Hound. I might almost be inclined to get off my high horse for that one.
i know your name literally has wolf in it, but you don't have to hound people over this.
oh man you're absolutely fucking right. NO ONE besides me, has ever liked the old item or used it before. CLEARLY all these "negative" comments are from people who don't know what real artwork is. And we certainly can't dislike it. Oh gee. AND my name is also Wolfism? I must be the most self-absorbed person you've ever met over a WOLF item. How dare I express such disdain in your rightful humble presence. You jackass.
Ahh I am going to miss my tiny yet intimidatingly pointy incubus wings. They've been kinda puffy-fied along with the hearts lol
Hmm, I have mixed feelings about the as it has long been one of my favorite wearables on the site. The fact that it no longer has the HA cut-outs is fantastic! That always bothered me. I loved the coloring on the old one because it resembled my dog, haha. The new one is much darker but beautiful in it's own way. It just feels very different, even the expression and position of the ears. Not saying it's bad or anything (not at all -- and that shading is amazing!) but part of me prefers the lighter colors and softer expression of the old one. Just my opinion. The artist did an absolutely wonderful job on it just the same and I do love it -- I guess I just want both old and new? XD
These comments are freakin' wild.
I'm sorry . While we're seeing our optometrist, please learn to accept other people's opinions on any other site than reddit or tumblr. Ok?
the first one looks more like the new art IMO. i'm not sure why you're so fiercely defending the old art of a revamped wolf item i'm sure nobody ever used (including you) and that the staff aren't going to change back, but maybe you should re-examine your priorities. if you like it so much, you could probably make a similar version and make it as a custom wearable. a lot of people like the old one, so you might sell some too! :)
people saying the old wolves looked more like wolves... lmao what. pls go see your optometrist soon.
then why would you use it as a critique on a wolf item? 😂
it literally looks liked this
now it looks like this
if you can exaggerate then so can I
(The reason I liked the other pendant is because I liked how "fake" it looked. The new one is a mix between fake and real and it does not hit the spot. I think the fake one looked cute. I wish for a more real looking one now though.)
no, but a tibetan fox isn't a wolf.
I'm also kinda sad about the tooth; the new wolf looks great, but it's more like "Imma cool wolf dude, woof", while the older was a majestic creature. In very, very different colours. I'll be still gladly using it, but at the same time missing the previous version.
you hatin on Tibetan Foxes, friend?
That being said I do love all the other revamps, esp the Succubus ones. :D <3
Can't really decide about the new white wolf versus old. The old one was a cartoon and the new more realistic. But I do know I liked the old brown wolf much better.
The Mysterious Pendant looks AMAZING! I just wish the Succubus Wig looked more like the old version. It's too in the face and has too much crown volume now. Don't get me wrong the art is great. It just feels too poofy. I would love it if revamps worked like transform items so we could pick which one to wear.
people really be hating on the pendant wolf's new look when the old one used to look like this
This is terrible -- they ruined my favorite white wolf. :(
RIP. :(:( The rest look amazing though ((well not woodcuters wolf - I wish the color and face remained more the same....))
tbh I'm not convinced they actually know what a wolf is
Oh come on! [I]Please[/i] make the spell ingredients wearable! With the revamps looking awesome it just makes more sense. Pleeeeeeze
I'm just wondering if we're looking at the same before/after pictures of the pendant because the before does not look like a wolf at all lol
Lovely revamps all around, nothing I would particularly use though!
Really liked the old woodcutter's wolf art much more ;u; The art on the new one looks great! I'll probably still use the item. It just has a different "vibe" to it, and I strongly prefer the energy of the old one. I feel like it could've just been made a brand new item, personally!
Completely baffled at the hate towards the new Mysterious Pendant. The old one was wildly outdated and looked more like a vaguely dog-shaped creature, on top of having almost no emotion to it. The new one really could use the pendant, yes, but it actually looks like a wolf and it could be read as a few different emotions. It's gorgeous. I'm sure, though, that any change on this one would have been received negatively by a lot of the same people. I think it's hard to successfully update such deeply outdated art. Frankly disappointed how many of you are up in arms over that one, really.
While I like the art for the wolf tooth, and I appreciate being able to layer it in front now, I do think there was a lot lost. I'd be less bothered, though, if it were the same color of wolf. Not a big fan of the reddish color of the new one. Keeping it looking straight at the viewer would've gone a long way, too.
Big fan of the updated wigs, too. I appreciate that they are very much the same item, but with a new life. Probably some of my fave wigs now tbh. I loved the succubus one already, but I hated the old incubus one lmao
I can deal with the tooth, though, as it was sad it had the old av cutout before. I'm happy to see Subeta continue moving forward like this.
I LOVE all these revamps, I just think they all look so neat now!
Someone could always make custom wearables of the old art, right? (I personally like the new versions more, though.)
welp, succubus wig, you had a good run. that was my favorite wig back then and this new one ruins the flowing shape/length it had
I'm curious as to the rationale behind leaving the avatar cutouts in the tails, especially with the whiteout items (eurgh) and the plans to make it possible for people to turn off various body parts in order to use body mods. I would think that all revamped items would have the avatar cutout removed.
Despite some of the confused responses to this post, nobody actually needs skintight avatar cutouts that don't work anyway. Most avatars are not naked, so items with cutouts still need to be layered behind your avatar if your avatar is wearing anything on their legs other than skin-tight leggings/tights, because who wants part of a wolf cutting off their cargo pants or worse, their long skirt?
I prefer the realism of the new wolf companions, but I do think that when artists are updating items, it would be nice for them not to make changes to the essential nature of the item, such as the colouration of tattoos, general shape of a garment, or expressions and "personality" of companion items.
As examples: the Vampire Trenchcoat used to actually look like Spike's Badass Longcoat from Buffy and now it looks like a long jacket without the flare (or the flair!) I owned it because I loved that coat. Spike's coat was so much cooler than the vaguely-but-not-very-edgy jacket we were left with. I got rid of mine after the revamp. It was more of an Edward look than a Spike look, and while I like Twilight too, I don't want to dress my avatar like Edward.
I am really unhappy about the changes to the tattoos. The art needed updating, but there wasn't any reason to make the items lighter, and I think it shows a certain amount of disregard for people who prefer to use darker bases. They are now much less visible on darker bases.
Lately there's been a lot more inclusivity on the part of the staff in the area of making sure that items are either usable on dark bases as is, or are transformable for dark base users. This revamp is disappointing in that respect. If you are currently using bases 1-4 and almost never use anything else, the change may seem like NBD, but if you test it out on a darker base, you'll see that it is much less distinct now.
I really LIKE the new wolf items, but I did use the Woodcutter wolf, and as , who also loves wolf items, pointed out, there have been changes to the expression and colouration of the wolf that were not strictly necessary.
I'm super happy that lineart is prettier, the animals look more realistic, and the stupid cutout is gone, meaning that I can use the wolf in front of the avatar, with booties and bodymods, and so forth. But the change to the expression means that if someone (like ) who collects wolf items and uses them often was attached to the old "personality" of the wolf depicted, it's going to be hard to accept.
Wolfism releases a lot of wolf-related CWs and really did use all the wolf items frequently. Wolfism wasn't rude to anyone until a bunch of people started questioning their right to have a negative opinion, and it was out of line to suggest that they rarely used the item since the person who said that clearly doesn't know Wolfism.
People make a lot of unwarranted assumptions about people who get salty about changes they like. Please remember that people are allowed to not like things.
