Wow. o_O I'm actually really impressed with this one. :3 Kudos, Aqua, on restoring dignity to the swampy.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

well ive definitely heard nessie referred to as water kelpie, maybe it was kelpy* then? either way sounds the same XD i think in the movie Loch Ness where it was called kelpy at one point too

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Um um... kelpies are water demons, commonly shaped as horses. Not Nessies. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nestly: Oh, of course! x3 smacks forehead Like the Galactic one.
You rock Aqua. =3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Kelpie posted it and the water kelpie is just what it looks like XD (another name for the loch ness monster)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Aqua is responsible for the smexy new Swampie

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love the new one, don't get me wrong.. I just miss having polls. XD I felt important.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

love it!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nestly: Hell yeah, that's freaking sweet! o3o
I love how the tail looks like an eeeeeeeeeeel. 83

So who was the speacial person to do this revamp? X3
By the way, cute chibi revamp as well. :3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hopefully something that needs it. (ie: Not Paralix). There are pets that haven't been updated once that need one. Paralix was updated, and he's grand looking. The pose is great and elegant and the face is angry yet the most adorable... hee, well, I want to avoid saying that -I- love it, because personal opinion doesn't seem to account for anything at all, but I do. It's a lovely face. Unlike the galactic, whose face I can see. Eck. I'd originally made a Paralix because I loved the revamp. I think Fire Lady was one, but I wanted her reborn and didn't like the reborn paralix. So I made another paralix and looked for a color that I liked.

that's so beautiful __

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

-votes for the turdle- Please please let the turdle be next! lol

Still excited to see the swampie redraw colors revamped Im sure theyll be lovely

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think it's absolutely gorgeous. Very plesiosaur-ish, and it actually has personality now.

I'm going to have to find room for one of these guys now...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So, what revamp will be next? the Turdle? the Warador? the Ghostly? Just Wondering :]

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love the new swampie! It's so much more graceful and elegant!

And I wanted shed some light on the nessie debate: I think why people think the swampie needs dolphinesque fins is because for a long time (and probably still) people believed Nessie to be an ancient plesiosaur, which looked like this: http://www.uh.edu/engines/plesiosaur.jpg They have back flippers, but it's not a dolphin tail. Although some scientists claim that nessie is not a pleiosaur (http://www.uh.edu/engines/plesiosaur.jpg), which would make it more of a snake-eel creature.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hm...the longer I look at it, the more I'm thinking of keep mine ._. I haven't zapped it for so long time... not sure yet

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Finally, a swampie revamp! 8D ONLY issue I have is that the swampie's nose looks a bit like it was smoonched against a window, but, hey! I can live with that. c: I dunno about all the naysayers, but I think this was the best revamp so far. applauds Thank you for making the swampie beautiful! leaps about happily

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well Nessie lives in a lake. Dolphins live in the sea. Dolphins' tails are more equipped for swimming fast or far distances. Eels don't need to go far. Even the ones living in a lake. They're usually around the sea floor or a reef. Nessie, most likely the biggest thing in the lake, doesn't need to flee far from anything.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like the new swampie... I might actually get one now they should have had a poll though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sorry but I prefer the old swampie better, it has a certain charm, though I prefer the colouring on this one the other just seemed more...serene I suppose

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Eeps, I had a 'enter' between my last post, but it didn't work. I wasn't talking to just, you, Shadowgem. Just in case their's confusion. xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh man, I loved the old swampies! They seemed kinda motherly and had more character in my opinion. Now they just look like cartoon characters. I don't know why they had to be revamped, people picked their pets because they like the way it looks. Now the future of my swampie seems uncertain. I hope I get use to it eventually

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nope, I use PC. I actually can't stand Macs (I had to use them all throughout school in my graphics classes. )

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I know, Shadowgem. Thanks for asking.

Common belief is "Nessie" is/looks like a plesiosaur. Plesiosaurs were reptiles, dolphins are mammals. I, too, find it difficult to believe "Nessie" would have a dolphine tail. Shark tail, possibly, but a dolphin... nah. xD Just my opinion, though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Anyways.. What i was saying is that it looks more detailed and smooth and all the new subeta style, but some how I liked the old one better. However, this revamp is much better then most of the current revamps.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ok, thanks for clearing that up, Kelpie. I wasn't trying to imply that "ONG WE NEED POLLZ 4 EVERYTHINGZZ!!!111"

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Its beautiful. Kudos to the artist.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

In my opinion, the Swampie looks rad. I'm loving the eel-like tail and the eyes. I might actually consider getting this xD But I'll wait until the rest of its colors get updated and see if I REALLY want it or not.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Actually, according to the current theories, Nessie really IS a big eel!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm so lucky. I think my Fire Lady just happened to have been on the best of the revamped Swampie colors. And that was just because I was too lazy to zap her. Unfortunately, she's not really a Swampie type. She's supposed to be a Reborn Feli.

No one knows for sure what it looks like, or even if it does.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Very nice! I love the new look, it so much more clean and detailed. It looks graceful, like how I would expect a sea creature to look like. Well done, Subeta artists!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love the new swampie x3

Awa =3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Tis' lovely - I especially like the gold eyes ^^ Great job!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;">Purely for curiosity's sake, are there any set criteria for when a poll is conducted? The potential new Feli is simply a repose and reshade/freshen up (like the Swampie - nothing has been added or removed from its anatomy), and yet it was polled.

Honestly? There is not criteria as far as "well we're just changing a pose, or a color, or the whole pet". The criteria is really whether or not we're personally decided upon this revamp. If we need some extra opinions to tilt the scales one way or another, you'll usually see a poll. We also make polls at the specific artists request, should they want one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I can't imagine Nessie with a dolphin tail at all... dolphins don't really live in lakes anyway, not like eels do. It makes no sense for any creature in a lake to have a dolphin tail.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sailor Mini Moon, try not to generalize too much. There are thousands of users on the site. Those who called the Swampie ugly before and those who now say they liked the old one better don't have to be the same people.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ooh, this is great! I love it way more than the other version. Especially the fins, the lighter green spots.... :3 I just think the spikes on the head are a little big. Other than that, I love it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's okay... The only thing I really don't like is the tail. Maybe if you gave it a dolphin-esque tail, it's have looked better. It looks too much like an eel and not enough like Nessie. Otherwise it's not bad.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

=D Swampie kicks aws now .....

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love it =)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Eh, kudos to Aqua for making Swampies smart! 8D She should be a teacher! Especially for my math class... atleast then I'd be less likely to fall asleep.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think it's a little too smiley, but other than that, I like it. xD I bet this will make swampies a lot more tolerable for V1 zapper users.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Truthfully, I don't see a problem with the revamp, I think that it is a good touchup from the old swampie. I don't mind that the tail may be longer and looks eelish, but when you look at it, most sea serpents, eels, certain species of mud fish, salamanders and even tadpoles have angular tails that help them to swim better underwater, so really what's the issue if the new swampie is a little more realistic? It just reminds me more of good 'ol Nessie.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow! Nice revamp!
I can't wait to see how my dark matter swampie, Lost.Soul turns out.

-gives Aqua a well deserved pat on the back-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sorry people but I just got done reading some stuff and what happened to the "Ewww! The zapper made my pet a swappie!" And when they revamp it you are all "I like the old one!"

Or that may be the way I see it.

I like the new one. :3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm not a big fan of this- I wish y'all would poll us first before pulling stuff like this (at least that way I'd be fine with a new version because it was by popular opinion a good choice... although... well, nevermind) But yeah. Prolly definitely never getting one now =(

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, and. I forgot to say it in my previous comment.

Please release the angelic celinox. :3 But again, I like this revamp. bye.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Personally, I think the artist redrew the Swampies because they really didn't get that much attention. From what I've seen, not many people had Swampies because they thought they were ugly, or whatever.
But now, I think that this re-draw is absoultly amazing. I actualy /like/ the long, eel-like tail. For an under-water type creature, I think it's fitting.

So, I love this re-vamp. Maybe now, hopefully, some people will like the Swampie (considering I didn't like them before either, now I really like them). I'd get one, if I had the space. ]=
