All over Subeta, Archans have been spontaneously combusting!
This is a huge problem that the authorities are looking into solving...but for the time being, please keep your big hairy cats out of direct sunlight.

Tossing them all into swimming pools in the meantime couldn't hurt, either.

most of us aren't saying anything bad, more like suggestions to make a good piece of art better. i know i for one can get so caught up in one part of a piece that i totally screw up other parts and i don't realize til someone points it out ^^

Love the concept, but not what I was personally hoping for with the reborn Archan. I agree largely with some of the other posters. The face looks kind of strange. Maybe the anatomy on the ears is off? I also think some of the other facial anatomy is off. I agree that the poor thing looks a little bald, perhaps that's why it's so angry? Something strange about the tail, although unfortunately I can't quite place it. I also kind of agree with the person who said it looks like the body "shrinks" as it goes up. Although I'd phrase it as it looks like the artist was using a weird perspective, as if the "camera" were down on the floor, so that the feet (being closer) looked larger, which the body (being farther) looked smaller.

Well, I was going to leave my Archan common, 'cause I liked that colour best, and just sell my reborn potion. But now....hmmmm....I'll likely end up with a reborn Archan. Beautiful. Sure a few little problems like others have mentioned, but the overall look is great!

..i hate to say anything bad about anyones art,considering i would love to be able to draw but i cant..^^;; but the only thing i would change on this guy would be his face,as it seems a bit more canine/bearish/slightly rabbity to me than big cat. its good art,i dont mean otherwise,i really dont. i just get a different species feel to it a little. dang it,now i just feel bad ;

Its cool but the jaw looks a bit weird.... The two strands of ribbon or whatever it is, looks really funky and weird too.....And theres just something that bugs me about it. However, the flames look great and I think many will like it. Good job to the artist that drew this!

Yeah... everything is awesome but the face and head... and the ears look all floppy. ._. Maybe a more "regal/ I know I'm handsome" expression with calmer head flames? I dunno, with the right facial expression I could almost imagine female Archans squealing over him. I mean, the body and all is just so totally "I'm big, I'm bad and I'm HOT baby!" but the face is more like "I'm psychotic and I'm gonna EAT YOU! RAWR!" XD

Ok I own one and still love it.. but now people have me staring at it and looking at everything on it.. The ONLY thing I would change is the tail it's too thin given the stockiness of the rest of the body.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

I've figured out my problem with it! It looks as if the whole body shrinks as it goes up. Like the legs and feet are huge, and then the body and head seem to get smaller. But as I've said before, great colours, and I //love// the flames.

I love the overall look, but I must agree that something does seem off with the face/head. It kind of reminds me of one of my mom's dogs trying it's hardest to bite at the fleas on it's shoulder...in this case the Archan looks like he's trying to bite at the flames of his mane. But overall I think the artist did a fantastic job, it actually made me consider getting one myself even though I'm not a big fan of Archans.

Your pet has changed into a Reborn Archan! .... I ended up changing Zeebie.. She used to be a RB Chai right before I just changed her. She raised her paw and said she wanted a more grown up look (she is the baby of the family).

And... my apologies for the double post... but I switched my left and right... It's the pet's left and the viewer's right...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by SailorGundam06

The jaw looks like it was knocked out of joint to the animal's right (viewer's left) and the flaming mane, while a really cool idea, leaves the head looking somewhat bald. Perhaps if the flames started from further forward on the forehead? The ears also look a bit long. I also think the tuft on the tail should entirely be flame, not partially.

However, the paws are awesome, as is the attitude the archan seems to give off.

As far as the dragon, I wasn't thrilled with him either, and ended up changing my dragon into a Magnus... and I changed my dragarth to a clawsion because I didn't like the new version of that, either... but this isn't the dragon or dragarth news posts, so they shouldn't be discussed here. I never bring up unrelated pets in a discussion of a revamp, whether I like them or not.

Not everyone is going to like every pet, and no one expects it to work that way. For instance, I never liked the Otter and I don't like the Ontra. However, I do think the newer version is an improvement on it... I'm not opening a discussion on the Ontra here, just merely using that as an example. A lot of people like the Ontra... A lot of people like a lot of the revamps... at the same time, a lot of people don't. People are rarely unanimous about anything, especially the demographic a website like this attracts (namely, teenagers, who are notoriously picky about things...). However, using emotionally descriptive words that are more opinions and relative to the individual's tastes, like 'hideous', isn't constructive criticism.

The hole head-face area is totlly off for me its jaw olmost looks dislocated D; And i agree that the mane/face is non archan-ish Dx

I agree with the other users who seem to think the face is a little off. If the face were a bit more angular, a little less fluffy, and the ears not quite so large, I think I would like it much better. Also, I think the flames coming from it's head (should I call them antennae? x] ) are a bit too curled, and take away from the overall picture. Perhaps if they were longer (like the fire on the RB demi, for instance, though a bit more detailed, of course) and a bit more elegant? The bits of curled flame on it's tail and right foot also bother me a bit. Overall, I think it's gorgeous. The fur on it's chest looks like volcanic lava, and whether this was intentional or not, I love it. :'D And as for DNA's work, I've always found it beautiful. o-o; I respect others' opinions, but I really don't see how anyone could not feel her art is not 'up to par'.

I think his mane is off, not as flamboyant and wild as you'd expect. That's what throws me off but the body is gorgous. I'll have to decide if i want to transform one of my other pets into another archan lol

I do agree that there's something un-Archan-like about the head... I think the ears are a little too big, and the muzzle is a little too short.... Meh, sorry I'm a complainer. It is very nice though. I'm waiting for the Reborn Legeica though. Sorry kitty! Nu, don't hurt me!! runs away

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

the body is absolutely gorgeous, but there is something a tad weird about the head to me. maybe the ears are just a skosh too long? I dunno, it's still beautiful nonetheless.

Rae I guess ya have a point hun.... Cat you know I'm strange so umm yea ..... Anyways I really do like this pet so I guess one of my pets is getting a makeover so to speak.. Now to pick which one..

Constructive criticism? It's decent. It doesn't really live up to the reborn standards I've seen on the site since I started, though. Most of the reborn versions still have a huge resemblance to the base pet, but this one doesn't, except in the torso. That could probably be fixed with repositioning. The head is darker than the rest of the body and tilted at an odd angle, and for some reason the ears make it look like a puppy face instead of an archan one. But that's the only real issue I see =)

Frey. No one is telling you not to critique; if we wanted anyone to stop, we'd disable comments. We can do that. What we are doing is requesting that you watch how you word your critiques. You draw more flies with honey, as they say. We know what is expected of us, but sometimes artists are more inclined to do it quicker and more happily if they are anxious to please someone. Demands and words like "horrible" are very poor motivators.

Not blaming you for the lack of dragon changes, mind you, but this applies to all areas of the site. You draw more flies with honey than with vinegar.

I like the body/pose and coloring on this one a lot, but I agree that the face and (especially) the ears look a little off; other people have pointed out the specifics, though, so I won't repeat them. XD The spine/back seems a little crooked, too, now that I look at it. The fiery tail is pretty rockin', though, and I love those deep blue eyes. .o. It's not quite as sexy as the Bloodred, but alas, that's a hard standard to live up to... XD

looney, there is no way any of us can ever be confident in the pet image. i adored the old tigrean, it was my favorite pet by far, and now look what's happened to it. make the risk or don't, but don't ever expect anything as fluid as subeta art not to get revamped down teh road. today tomorrow next year, no images stick. things stay interesting that way (points to the rock paper scissors enemy) not always a bad thing grins

blinks ...in which case, Looney, I really don't know what to say to that, lol. I'd settle for the lower jaw being fixed (that's what makes the face look wrong, the lower jaw doesn't look entirely attached), but I am of the opinion that the ears are a bit too long. The other archans have more solid looking ears that don't flop like these.

I highly doubt there has ever been a pet that EVERY PERSON liked. Artists go with the majority when it comes to revamps, and polls, and whatnot. You cant please everyone, theres always going to be someone who doest like it, no matter how many times they change it.

I, happen to ADORE this archan.

Hmm, I'm not a great fan of Archan's in generally. They're just not my sorta pet, I guess. I really like the flames and swirly detail on this one, though. Not enough to convince me to get one, but it's still a decent pet.
