Subeta -

I think I agree that the re-draw is not as 'feminine', but honestly, the current malticorn already has huge eyes (compared to it's other facial features; the angelics are proportional). You can see more of them in the redraw though, maybe if it's fluffy mop of hair that needs to be moppier and fluffier? (I can't believe the artists kept the curli-q's in the fur around the hooves... kudos.)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

They improved my one peeve with the old malti, the overly straight horn so I'm happy xD And the art is wonderfull So long as they don't touch the graveyard malticorn I'ma happy buto c:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I really like everything about this, except that my biggest peeve from the originall is still there - what's with the yellow hooves?? Also, I think the revamp could be made even better if you use some elements from the Reborn version. First, the pose is more dynamic. Second, the muzzle has a lower profile, as do the eyes, which is a nice change from the original version and this redraw - it is more expressive, and less "look into my hypnotic eyes!!!". Third, the horn is twisty - why not give all Malticorns a twisty horn?

I cant be anymore happier with the change. Even though I don't own a Malticorn i have to say this looks much better then the older version. It looked unhappy or just showed no emotion in its face at all. The coloring for the new one is less bright. Just looking at the other one hurt my eyes : The shading is great as well as everything else done to the new one. The older one just didnt cut it with me. I agree with those that say subeta is going for a neutral look that it can look either female or male.

I love the change in how the pets are looking. The artist are giving all a more realistic look to the pets. ^^ Before they didnt really look like that. The revamps are giving a fur, hair etc type look to the pets. Something that actually looks real.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

... wasn't I like.. talking about this with a friend about a few weeks ago? o.o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's always looked like a dog

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Erg, why does it look like a dog now?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love this revamp. it is acutally th eonly new revamps I ever liked xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is the only revamp I have ever voted against. I had to stare at the two pictures a long time before voting and I still can't say specifically which details I don't like about the new Malticorn, except that it really just seems like a dog with a horn now, instead of a unicorn, which I had always thought of the Malticorn as being. I know it's a vague suggestion but I would like it better if it looked more unicorn-like.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The face is so cute . I like this revamp. Whoever drew it did a good job. I have no complaints

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think the legs could be tweaked to look a little less stiff. I loved the old one because the pose just seemed to 'flow'. Also, the eyes, like many others said, look too big/too creepy.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Everything is perfect on this... except the eyes. Creepy, scary eyes o_______o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I voted for old, not because I hate this re-vamp, but because there were things I thought were wrong with it that can use some tweaking.

There is something odd.... about the face. It's the ginormous eyeballs. They are huuuuge. Maybe if they were somewhat smaller, it wouldn't look like 'omgsmiiiiile!heheheeeeee!!!'

It's front legs...is jointless. There should be somewhat visible joints, or joint area, so we know that the malticorn can bend it's legs.

I'm in love with the new coloring. It looks spiffy and shiny. I like it a lot!

I'm sure more people will be upset to see their angelics and graveyards changed to have a short, wide snout.

Yes Luxe, I would be beside myself in grief if they had a stubby face. I would have to immediately change the color and species of my own it that happened. Thank you for keeping it long and pretty

Quote by Luxe: "topizots, we considered a wider muzzle, but the most popular colors of the malticorn have this slightly slimmer snout, and so we opted to keep that. I'm sure more people will be upset to see their angelics and graveyards changed to have a short, wide snout.

As for the line weight, they are right in line (no pun intended) with our standards and do not need thickening."

Ah. I hadn't read that - a good point. Mightn't it be possible to soften it just the slightest bit? It looks more extreme from this angle. (To be fair, all this is purely personal opinion - I don't even own a malticorn, although I admit to being sorely tempted by the reborn.)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Raniphae - oh, I think you put into words what I couldn't about why I dislike this so much -- it IS just a dog with hooves now! I always knew that the old one was a maltese/unicorn combination, but it had unicorn elements as well... and those are all gone now.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Here here, Raniphae! I agree with everything you said, exactly.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh I far prefer the new Malticorn to the old one. This is much much -much- better!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

angelembryo - you completely summed up everything I feel about this and other recent new pet art I used to absolutely adore Subeta art and want to be a Subeta artist someday, but now I'm not so sure because of the direction the art is going... I adore my darkmatter malticorn who is my favorite pet - I'd hate to have to change her species if this revamp goes through, which it looks like it will. I agree that the old malticorn needed lineart & shading to match the new style, but... in the same pose

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I really like the new head fluff, but overall I prefer the old one. I love it's coy, upwards-looking expression, and I think the muzzle looks over-defined, so that it looks too canine. Yes, the malticorn has canine elements, but I this revamp I think takes it a tad too far, so that it becomes a dog with hooves. The concrete things that could be easily fixed to make me prefer this revamp are: (1) return the upward-looking gaze, (2) make the leg feathering look more luxurious, maybe by defining it less?, (3) a softer jawline/muzzle, and (4) reposing the front legs so that they look less stiff. ...The malticorn is all soft, coy, candy-floss sweetness; the redraw is perky and mischievous. That's well and good on it's own, but it isn't our malticorn.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hah, you think I want a revamp? I love the Malticorn. It's one of my favorite pets- possibly number one. But you have to admit it needs a little redoodle. The old version, however adorable, is.. well, OLD.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Agh! No! I love the old one.. this one is bubbling over with flaws and stiffness, wahhh.. cry

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Another pet standing in that generic-of-generics stark, static, poker-legged pose? At least the old one had some angle to its legs and a tilt to its head that made it look puppyish and cute, like it was about to bound off and play and just paused briefly to have its picture taken. And there was nothing wrong with the anatomy of the old one; it was stylized and unique while still being anatomically correct (except the angle of the tail) - a rare combination on Subeta these days. Also, the shading looks more like plastic than shaggy fur, like most other recent revamps, and the colors look washed out. Even the smile looks less happy and more Mona Lisa-ish. And why is the horn suddenly curved? That was an unnecessary change, if you ask me. All the Malticorn needs is a slight outline smoothing and reshading, not a total redesign.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Aww, bigger horn please. I dislike this smaller one very, very much.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Roshu the point is a lot of dont want a revamp... we're happy with the Malticorn how it is! clings to hers

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

it's really good, i just don't like the hooves. looks like a round cookie cutter got to them XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh yes. Remember Folks: A revamp isn't going to look exactly like the old thing; that's why it's called a, gasp, REVAMP.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love it. The only thing I dislike is that one random curl on its chest. It's a little distracting, my eyes keep going to it. And if the horn were more unicorn-esque, straighter and a bit longer, I would be quite happy. Though, as it is, I love! Great job artist! votes for it

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I find it ironic that this came out on the birthday of my Malticorn character (yes I keep track of character birthdays! -nerd-). XD Wow.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

-cries- I never ever complain about revamps but I really hate this one... I loved the old malticorn because of its cocky expression and unique (yet accurate) slim anatomy.. it was all curved and elegant looking. This new one has anatomy like a box - perfectly straight front legs, perfectly straight back legs, perfectly straight midsection The expression is also extremely generic and devoid of any real emotion or anything... it's just kind of looking at you blankly. I also dislike how the hair just sort of dangles limply on the head... I liked the round shape of the old one... the rest of the face, horn, hooves, tail & shading look great to me, but I reaaaaaally wish it could have that same cocky, knowing expression as the old one... and also more curvature to its anatomy. I really dislike most new Subeta art these days it seems, since it seems like most pets are in very stilted poses with wonky anatomy and heads that either seem too small or large. And I apologize again, I mean no disrespect to the artists -- it's just my personal opinion.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmmm, my only irk here is the face. I'm not sure how to quite describe it, but this one is lacking in the facial character that the other one held. It seems to be trying to hard to fit the OH LOOK I'M CUTE criteria. The old face seemed to be befitting of the pet's own personal contented state- this one looks more like it's too aware of the audience looking at it. I've never been a fan of pictures staring directly into the camera. Other than that, I feel it's been nicely pulled off.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Okay. I really don't know where to start. Maybe with that I didn't want this to happen but since it is the possible re-draw isn't /totally/ heart-breaking. I really liked Saga's slight edit- the stomach looks a little flat even if I'm glad it doesn't have that pigmy-horse pot belly. XD I think the chest and head fluff need a little more.. fluffing, the hooves should be slightly bigger (not much, it's just the fur around them- even if I adore it, makes them look small), the face maybe a teeny-bit wider, and the front legs added.. knees? :'D It doesn't really look like it has any to me. Maybe a straight horn.. possibly? Please. It's not perfect, nothing is, but I can't say I'm terribly broken-up about my favorite pet getting a revamp like I have with some of the other ones. Just needs a little work. Personally I like the wider snout but I see the point it making it smaller because of popularity of special colors (as Luxe brought up).. Oh yes. And the tail.. looks amazing. Just glued on. Make it look more.. attached?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love malticorns, so I'm so happy to see a revamp in the works! The art on this one is obviously superior to the old one. But the face . . . um. The old malticorn looks much, much more dignified and classy than this one, despite its sketchy art. This one's face makes it look kind of goofy, and, as someone else said, dog-like. I think I will cry (lol) if my angelic malticorn winds up having a look like this. ;_; Angelic malticorns have lovely faces though . . . hint

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ugh, no.

Keep the old one

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

love the fluffy tail but I must say, the pose looks rather stiff, and those eyes look very empty 0o'

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I dunno' about this one. The colours and hair are nice, but... I think we need a few pets with straight horns. and the legs and chest seem too off for me... The fronts need to be loosened up, and the back legs look too thin to support the body in comparison to the front legs... And it's eyes creep the bajeebers out of me. o-o';

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i reckon in this style it is a great choice for a new pet i have in mind.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like the old version because it was more stylized, but of course the new one is more detailed and fits with the design of the other pets. As others have already mentioned, I would like to see the old horn, and the stance of the old pose seemed to fit well because it didn't look like it would topple over. I really hope the legs get redrawn before it is released, but other than that I'm pleased with the revamp.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Something about the face looks a bit odd to me. I do like it better than the old one, but I think the eyes might be too big or something. I really can't place it, but it does look somewhat strange.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I have to agree a little about what some say about the pets becomming a little too cartoony or Disney like. While I'd still vote new, as the old one seemed more of a sketch, I'd still like to see it redone. One reason I really like subeta is that even though the pets are cartoony and not very realistic, they still looked a lot more mature than the pets of some other pet sites, which I stopped playing as the pet revamps and changes just started looking silly. I'd hate to see myself wander from Subeta for similar reasons. I'd love to see Subeta keep the more mature look of pets, and while this isn't too bad, it's slowly getting to the point of being -too- cartoony with a "lets-go-play-with carebears-and-my-little-ponies" cutesy style (sorry, couldn't think of any other way to describe it, heh)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like the shading its very, very good, I like the fur too. And I'm aware that this is "a cross between a maltese puppy and a unicorn." But the muzzle... Its like "lookimsocuteohmygosh!" - too strong. The older version has more "character" (just look at the graveyard malticorn!). This version is... too happy-doggy. Maybe a little changing with the muzzle - not so "smiling"? For now I voted on the older version... sorry, but at this moment malticorn revamp is too doggy. And yes, its my "very" personal opinion. I do not want happy graveyard malticorm...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like the new one, it's much better than the old ^^ Now I can see that the hooves have a indentation xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's based from a maltese!? :'D I have a little Bichon (very similar to those who doesn't know), and now that I know that I'm probably going to get one! Haha, thats so fun to hear :'D Glues a horn on my little Dennis forehead My very own little malticorn |D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It looks neutral for me now... and i believe thats's what subeta is heading for. Pets that don't look like a specific gender.
It's also still innocent for me. Even a bit sweet. o.O

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

-squeaks- Why mess with a good thing? The Malticorn was so precious. PLEASE don't touch the Graveyard Malticorn! It looks enough like this new re-vamp to leave it like it is! -cries-

However, I do like the re-vamps face more than the other one.. the definition of the muzzle is much nicer, imo.

But please.. PLEASE don't touch the Malticorn colors that aren't in this pose.. e.e;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Great job! New version doesn't make me cringe like the old one. I particularly like the eyes.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I voted for the new one, but I think something about the front legs needs to be fixed/ They do look rather stiff. and prehaps the tummy could be a little rounder?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I totally agree with Avellana... It looked sweet, innocent, girlish before... now its just... not. sad

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

screams I just got my Cream Malticorn and they want to change her!?!?!?? Noooooooooo!!!!

Please just leave my precious dreamer be!!! I beg of you! I'd hate to have to re-color her because of a horrid redraw. cries

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, I can see clearly that the muzzle shape is not a "mistake" but an artist's choice - I simply never think of them as "dog-like". We have Legeica as a "horse-type unicorn" and if majority likes this revamp, I would not complaining loudly after it's done.

Another thing bothering me is rather... personal feeling. The old malticorn look more like a "female", more delicate and sweet. This one has expression of a little boy plotting something. But again, it is only personal and I know that "personality change" of revamped species is always a problem for current owners - but not for the future ones.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Noooooooooooooo!!!! Leave my Luffz how she is!!! sobs
