Subeta -

I really LOVE the old face compared to this one, however, the shading and coloring is much better on this version. The horns are really nice. The chest is sagging too low. And... once again the face. My eyes keep going straight to the face, but not in the good way. Pretty much, all that's bad about it is it's face, and the slightly sagging chest. The rest is absolutely gorgeous!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Uh...I don't like it, sorry. I was thinking to get a Sheeta, but not one that looks like that. =( I love the old version. But thank you that we can vote. ^^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh wow, where to begin?

Okay, I love the sheeta. And I think think this is a very nicely done revamp. I'm all for it 100%. A few things irk me, but only slightly; the line art on the old sheeta was softer, while the new lineart is a bit too thin, so it feels a bit sharp. The bottom of the chest bothers me, but only slightly, but only because the way it curves.

All in all, I can say this is a well done revamp for a pretty species that needed it. Old sheeta had uneven line art (no offense to the original artist!) This one is more proportionately correct, and it still keeps the cuteness of the old sheeta. Well done, artist!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The old one is just so darn cute, and I'm so used to it plus I like the nice thick lines for some reason and the new one is very in porportion, a ton better shading almost like it's realistic in a way...I can't choose which one I like more xD I guess I'm happy with either one as long as the reborn sheetas don't get changed XD I love them =)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh i love it!It is so cute!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hm. I like the old one a lot. The new one looks girly.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Exactly, Bogart Focus on being clear with us on the things you think would help out THIS revamp - like shoulder lines/eye shape etc. Then we can help you! We can't help you when you say stuff like 'Omg you've changed my favourite pet I'm going to cry!' (I realise no one has actually said this, but you get my point xD)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Because I do not get to get on here much. I was wondering if the new Feli got voted in.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Mhn..... I like the basic concept, but, as most everyone said, the shoulders need to be more defined, and the far shoulder makes the rest of the chest look a bit off.

To see what people thought about this version. In the past we have polled people potential new versions of a species and if it wasn't well recieved, the artist tried again.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The neck on the old one has been bothering me ever since I first saw it! I adore the new one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I kind of thing since Subeta's art is going in a new direction that we need consistancy so when the new colors are drawn that they look like it is the same style. I am not a big Sheeta fan. They are too cute for my taste. Yes I know I have a Kerubi which is also tooth achingly cute, but that pet is named for a special friend who did not want to be a Fester.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

this is one of the only ones where i have like the new one rarher then the older one! good work!! i love it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Finally a pet that actually needed a redraw. The legs on the old one were awful.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The missing elbows and shoulders can be easily fixed, and I hope it will be fixed before this redraw goes through. The missing shoulder can be fixed just by changing the shading a bit. -tried it myself- xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love both of them. I love sheetas and I would definitely get a redraw. I was going to get another sheeta today but I'll wait if there is going to be a revamp. Just don't touch the reborns! -Protects Britney-.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your right Rah, but before I use my blabbermouth to get myself in trouble, I must say, I am going to miss the old sheeta xD I saved it so I can see it I will be okay now

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't like the new one at all it's...so different. Ohhh what if they revamp the chibi sheeta? I just got a chibi sheeta today lol.

But I like the old one much better. this one its head is...I don't know. A bit strange. o.O

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

While the shading and the proportions of the new one are a lot better in the revamp, I still much prefer the facial expression on the older one. The new one's expression is some sort of unreadable "I don't know what", while the older one just looks sincere and happy. Course, I haven't had any of my pets affected by any revamp since the Endeavor revamp, so I probably don't have any room to talk. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Lmao, either way, at least one user will always be unhappy no matter what you do. @@;;

I love this redraw so much though! The shading makes me happy. |D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like it. The old one looks somewhat blurry to me.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think Polls are more a way of saying 'right, we want a general idea on how many people like this, and we'll get a few crits along the way, and change it a bit if necessary'.

I do just want to say though, to those who seem to think we're crazy for revamping the Sheeta - can you read the comments of the people who LIKE the revamp, and who fully support it? We can't be that crazy if we have a lot of people agreeing with us? Even the original Sheeta artist agrees it could do with updating!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Jessyta, if the purpose is to revamp the pets- Why did we get a poll to vote on this one? Isn't there a way to fix all the errors? And keep it revamped?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Apart from the pixely thin lines I like it! Come on the Sheeta needs a revamp the art is old old old! I don't think I'm going to vote, but if this is the new revamp I definetly wont mind it ^^ Great job Teera? (I think it was you xD&quot

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I prefer the new version. The head is more in proportion with the rest of the body now - no more humongous legs and paws! The lines are neater and thinned out, and the shading is better with more levels to it. Also, the fur on the current Sheeta looks jagged and strange - this one has a lot more freedom of movement in it.

My only criticisms would be that perhaps the angle of the head is slightly awkward, and the front of the stomach goes down a little far. However, everything else I see is beautifully drawn. And those criticisms are only minor, minor details that if adjusted would only make a slight improvement anyway. All the elements of the old Sheeta are in it - but just improved on.

Well done to whoever drew this =D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Jessyta- Yeah...I guess you're right.

I agree with Phantompony, it kinda does look like a plastic toy. With all the shiny-ness. But I voted for the new one anyways.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

scratches head so the purpose of pets is to get revamped, not to make all users happy o_Â°

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Keeping the "old" version of the pet on the site for users to choose from kind of defeats the purpose OF revamping pets.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The new sheeta is cute, but it is WAY too shiny for me. The legs indeed look a bit funny, so does the head in it's position. The markings need to be a bit thicker, and I also have the poll page open. The older sheeta's back leg did look a bit funny now that I look at it, but these legs are a bit too thin for me- And others as well, I believe. The eye is indeed a bit feminine, The tail looks a bit thin to my eyes, though. And looking at the older sheeta's tail, I see there are markings. On this newer Sheeta, the markings appear to be just the tip to me. The front foreleg is missing some fur up top, and then it is indeed looking as it missed an elbow. The old sheeta's neck was too thin, but this one is indeed thicker, and I like that fact. But I have to say, I voted the old sheeta.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I've got an idea! When users choose their pets, what if they would be able to choose if they want the version 1 or version 2 pet? They would be able to choose which pose and style they want their pet to have.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't understand why the head seems to have turned... that's the only thing holding me back from liking this revamp. :C

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like this one, the back leg looks much better, and the horns look great. I think the eyes might look a tad bigger if they were rounder. That's mostly the reason why the original looks so wide-eyed and curious. The new one looks a lot sharper, and I kinda like how the fur has a sort of sheen, but I can also see why it makes it look a little like a plastic toy. The older one had much more muted colours. Also, wondering about the neck fluff, I sort of expected it would go down to where the front legs meet, but that's really just my own interpretation of the original. Kudos to the artist, the Sheeta looks more hug-able now.. well atleast I think so C: (That's just my 2 cents, I'm not looking to start a conversation)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"I don't understand anyone who votes otherwise." because there's something called "opinion" you know.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like the new one because it has curly horns and a sweet-looking face. The old one had a head with a skinny neck that looked like a potato on a toothpick. But the thing I liked about the old one was that it looked younger with the big eyes. This is hard to choose :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh my god its a poll! XD but really i like the new sheeta better. i dont know why people are saying that its head is small. it looks good to me. O_o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nestly: Hell yeah, this is MUCH better then the old one. I don't understand anyone who votes otherwise. That gray outline for the horns and tail in the old version bothered the heck out of me.
I like how the horns are curled now too.

To the voters; I say people should vote on overall quality and look, NOT how they still are just used to the old one. That bothers me the most. Everyone's a critic though here.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I dont dislike this new redraw but please dont change my sheeta's!

The new eyes look rather tired, and it doesn't capture the innocence of the original sheeta

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks for the poll! I really am digging on the new sheeta. Liked the old one, but this one seems more alive. shrug

But I do agree, some of the other pets need revamps (and some of the already revamped pets need some of the colors finished)... shrug again Just my opinion.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Noir: I understand where you're coming from, but my comment was only really to people who wanted to find out which Sheeta version was drawn better, not people who already know which version they like better. :3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

the new one looks fantastic... but i'm still quite fond of the old one. I voted old.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm definately agreeing with Terra on that point; I really miss the Sheeta's big eyes. o; They gave it an innocent cute look. The expression of the new one is... alright, but not compaired to the older one; this one looks a little... dry. No personality like the old one had. x= The rest of the revamp looks good, although it does look a bit too shiny.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

nah hugs the old one

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I might get one now. :O

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It took a lot of deliberation before I could make a choice.

Regardless, Teera, this is pretty.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks for letting us voice our opinions *hugs

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay! Thank you for actually polling us this time~! It's really appreciated.

I prefer the big, bright eyes on the old Sheeta... but over all, I think I like the new one the best.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

desertsonata: I'm not critiquing the old one because to me, it doesn't need a revamp. Not because I'm attached to the older version or threatened by change. Hell, look at the Dragon Revamp. I loved it even though we didn't get a poll about it. The revamp was definitely better/needed in that case.

However the Sheeta shouldn't have gotten a poll so soon for in my opinion, it looks fine as is. And it's not just the leg. The position of the head is weird, it's lost its character and it's as shiney as a plastic toy which the Sheeta is not. Maybe you should take a better/longer look at the new Sheeta.

Oh by the way. When I critique, I have the poll page open as well so I can make on sight comparisons and edit my critique where needed so it's not like I'm going by memory alone.
As for what you said not applying to me... Well the way you put it seemed to say otherwise but I'm not willing to argue about it.

Jessyta: You raise a valid point that I didn't consider. I was just a little shocked to see that the Sheeta is going for a revamp. :/ It was/is one of the better drawn pets.

Oh I'm grateful for the poll, believe me. I'm happy to see that they haven't totally gone extinct. Sorry if I failed to express that. :/

Also, just so ya know. I'm happy about polls because well, we get to have a say about a pets fate, and that gives the artist time to make major/minor changes before the design is finalized. Which is a lot... for lack of a better word, "nicer" than just being handed a revamp while being told, "Don't like it? Too bad so sad, you're stuck with it." I think this is the main reason why people like polls.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I dont like the current reborn sheeta Dx Im strange I dont like the pose.......

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like it and I like the old one too. This is a win win situation in my humble opinon.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'd like to thank the staff for polling this. And a little hint to them aswell. If you think that polls take too long to gather information, why not set a time limit on them? Like, a poll stays up for 3-5 days, users are informed that it will be up for the number of days days and everyone has a chance to vote. Afterwards, the version which gets the most votes ends up as the revamp. It won't take as much time as the revamps before, you'd get more than enough feedback/criticism in the news comments and 3-5 days are more than enough for around 70% of the users to vote on their prefered version.

This aside, here's my two cents for the revamp:
- it might be a good idea to use a bit less black on the outer side of the eye itself. It kinda gives the Sheeta a little bit of a feminine touch and the pets aren't supposed to look all feminine, or all masculine. Something inbetween.
- the foreleg. It looks shoulderless, as was stated before. I don't mind it looking 'elbowless' as much. There is an accent of the elbow itself on the front leg, look at the small tuft of fur attached. It looks elbowless because of the perspective, but it has a joint there.
- the chest. The old Sheeta was a good bit slimmer than this one and had a smaller chest. The mane and the fur around the neck and going down, that's perfection. But make it's body less... hum. prominent? I don't know how to say this. This one looks like it's ribcage grew a bit. XD;

Also, markings on the legs could use a tiny bit of an accent, but that's not really too much of an issue as long as it still has markings.
