Subeta -

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Something about it looks a little awkward to me, and I just can't put my finger on it. (I'm sorry. I wish I could describe it better than that!) I think I didn't realize before that the malticorn was even remotely dog-like, and now it looks very doggy to me, but that's not a bad thing. I think I have to agree that I'm not fond of the spots (I think it makes it look a little too much like the legeica), and that the chest-fluff isn't quite defined enough. I always thought the malticorn looked a little like it was wearing a hat, though, so I do think that the color of it's hair-fluff should probably be elsewhere on the malticorn itself. The reborn malticorn is a good example, though, I think.

Oh my gosh, THANK YOU, angelembryo! We don't need millions of stripes and spots on the revamps. Accents can be used in different ways and all the pets on the site are already very original. Giving all pets spots and stripes now is taking that originality away. Although the butt spots don't really bother me, I still have to agree with the people who are against them. I for one am neutral about it, but completely see their point in not agreeing with it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

angelembryo, that was wonderfully stated and I agree with all of it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Let's see... I like the face and the expression on this one, especially the way the eyes look. I also actually do like the spots on it's back, although I agree with the person who said that they look a little bit centralized to the one area. Also, the legs look a little thin to me. They don't look like they could support its weight - maybe the hooves are small, too. Perhaps try widening the ankles a bit? I like the fluffiness, but it looks very tame. I think that if you varied the size of the fluffies a little bit it might look more natural and less freshly groomed. I do like the new one better, really. XD The art is just plain... nicer. I just think that it can still be improved. I'm a little worried that a lot of the recent revamps seem to be leaving out a lot of personality from the pets. That's what I like about Subeta pets - the personality. Anyway, good luck you guys! Thanks for being an awesome staff.

@ Angelembryo: You rock.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It looks perfect to me, I'm no artist though. I think it's nicer than the old one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I wonder why, when there are just as many people or more who are against the butt spots as there are for them, the "several others" who agree with the artist win the debate just because they agree with the artist? There are other ways to add accent colors without cluttering up nice clean fur with overly bold spots; it still has eyes, hooves, horn, and head-hair to work with. If the contrasts look too unbalanced without the rump spots, then maybe the color choices were unbalanced to begin with and something should be toned down, or the shading done better. Or that much accent color is unneeded in the first place. That's why it's called "accent color," not "the color on the other 50% of the pet," after all. The spots are an overcompensation.

I also wonder why so many artists bother to ask for constructive criticism when their only response to it is just to make excuses to get out of conceding to all the most commonly raised issues (and blocking the people who give it, lol). Disturbing trend that's been around here for a while and never seems to get better. But, oh well... won't make any difference, so I'll just save the old Malticorn images and be on my way.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I just notived something in my very own redline - the horn comes from everywhere but the center. Sorry it doesn't ilustrate my point. sobs

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

(I hope the picture shows, if not, could someone explain to me how you post pictures?) First, I really like Typhoon's redline. If you just fixed what she pointed out, I'd be happy. But if you want my two cents, here it goes. Head - More fluff on the forehead and cheeks, and perhaps making the horn more straight, it looks somewhat odd with that curves, makes you wonder WHERE it's coming from, and if you do an imaginary line, it comes from almost above the eye. It would help if the eyes were closer. Chest - I really liked the chest fur on the old version, and I think it should be kept. All malticorn items have that fur nicely defined: Body - More fluff on it's belly, and the back shouldn't be so straight, more live a smooth curve that lowers at the base of the tail. Tail - It's "fat", because the fur is too short, if you define it more, it looks better. Hooves - Bigger. About the spots - I like them, but You should add a few random small spots, they look "centralized" (they are all together in a small space, it looks unnatural). If you see some dapple horse pictures, you'll see what I mean.

That's all I have to say, I hope I was of some help.

PS: I love the Malticorn Beanbag - it's perfect.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Meh... Something in this doesn't really click with me. Looks too child-like or something. Can't really place a finger on it - voted for old. n_n;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

With some tweaking with the hairfulff, the horn, and the legs, this could be perfect, I think. The eyes and face are bothering me a little, too, though. I adore Maltis.. It would be wonderful to see one that looked more like the Reborn. And maybe with a little more BELLY!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh man Whats with everything getting changed? I loved the old art. This new art direction is so.... Characterless They lack personality. Like we're trading what gives them personality, for an attempt at realism.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i totally agree with typhoon muffin's idea. it looks better i her version.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The face is bugging me - I think the eyes are too far apart/small?. But other than that, it's adorablee!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Besides some things about the face and the front leg that have already been addressed, I like it a lot. I don't know if I like that shade of purple for the eyes, but this is common colored so who cares amirite?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I also like the style of the old one. I think that's what I like better. Is it possible to do almost the same thing just with updated artwork? I know that the old artist it's here but you could still do that right? And a random question: how many artists are there that do pet art currently?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is much better than the older one. I really didn't like that one much at all, no offense. The puff of hair on the head still bothers me a little, but all in all this is pretty cute.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Quote:

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;">Ohh, I really like it, just not the front right leg.

I don't like that leg either. It just...seems a bit shorter to me, and the back legs bend much higher up than the front legs. And...something about the head bothers me. I guess either the eyes are a little far apart, or it's the right ear popping out. Otherwise, this is a beautiful piece of art! Great job!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's cute.. but the head kind of bothers me. In my opinion I think it would look better if the head and eyes were a little bigger and the ears/"hair" a little more fluffier, similar to the old one. I liked the cutesy look of it. The body looks kind of elegant instead of puppyish.. I don't know if that's good or bad xD. I like how the horn matches the hooves and that it has spots. Hey I just realized: Malteese + unicorn = malticorn I never knew that.. though I knew it was a mix between a dog and unicorn.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

In all honesty...I have no protests against this new revamp. There's of course the tiny little nitpicks here and there, but they're really small, and I think this is all in all a beautiful peice of artwork! A+ and a vote for the new <3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The body and pose are perfect, but something about the head is off. I think it's too small, it looks like it's missing half its brain. And the face is a bit too domesticated or something. Like some others have said, it is a lot like the ruffie. Maybe bring the eyes closer or change the expression a bit? I do like it as a whole, though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ohh, I really like it, just not the front right leg. Just I don't like it, not sure why. Overall, I love it. When I went to the poll and saw the old one, I was like Its aweful, the malticorn revamp was totally needed.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

hogeez. i accidentally pressed 'post' when messing with my tablet. anyways..

i don't have much to crit, being that i'm not all that good with animal anatomy. i'd have to suggest that making the head look less flat might help, as it's really bugging me. the ears really bug me. maybe making them a bit more fluffy might help. i'm not sure what about them bugs me.. the chest fluff looks a bit weird to me on the side farthest from us. it looks too flat near the neck -- then bursts into a huge fluffy i-wish-i-could-sleep-on-that fluff, yeh? :U i suppose it's supposed to be that way, but fff i'm picky. the back looks a bit too flat, or straight. as for the leg, i'm not sure, maybe it's the fluff that's giving me the impression that it's totally short and the thing has walking disabilities. i don't know how to suggest fixing that though, without making it look even worse.

sorry for my lack of help. i am horrible with animal anatomy. )':

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I reckon it looks too fluffy. I love fluffy, but that just looks ridiculous! In a nice way though... I think the spots should go and the legs, head and ears are awkward.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Eh, I'm not a fan/connoisseur of Malticorns, but I don't really think that the new Malticorn has the same spunk as the old one. I love the art and style of the revamp, yes. But it's a swing and a miss on capturing the Malticorn's attitude. I think a pose more like the old one's would befit the revamp better. Also, as has been pointed out several times already, the hooves seem too small and the lifted front leg seems too short. The head reminds me of a Ruffie, mainly because of the ears. Also, the hair lies a bit flat compared to the original. It's...unflattering.

That's about all I have to say.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

not a malticorn fan, but i really like this revamp

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Typhoon_Muffin, that redline is amazing!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

fffff the ears, head fluff idk, chest fluff, and front left leg looks wonky to me. looks like a dog, too. :{

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The latest redline, that's the one you should be looking at.

Good luck, new artist.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Out of all the revamps, this one would have to be the best so far. But for some reason, it's still lacking the original charm that the old Malticorn had.

I find the ears to be too...droopy? And for some reason, the head seems so small compare to the body.

Another thing that I liked about the old Malticorn was that it's fur went around the neck, almost like it was wearing a vest. That was one thing that really struck me as being Malticorn-like.

The tail also looks kind of weird. It's like it went from being furry to smooth and shiny. shrugs Just seems kind of weird to me.

Lastly, the hooves on the revamp looks a little bit small. The back legs look good, and would just need bigger hooves. But the front legs look like they are really skinny.

But overall, I really liked the new little subtle touches to the Malticorn. The new golden horn, the nice new body/hair/eye colours, and the little patterns near the bum. Very cute.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Please no.

The old malticorn has such....something about it. I love malticorns.

This one.. is too much like a dog. The head.. I don't know. I don't like the head.

And something about the legs bother me.

Sorry that isn't specific, but I really don't like this revamp.

NOW I AM NOT SAYING THE ART IS BAD!!!!!!! I REALLY LIKE THE ART! YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB!!!!!

I am just saying this revamp doesn't scream MALTICORN!!!!

it.. just kind of whimpers it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I feel like the revamp loses a lot of charm. It makes the malticorn fit in better with the other revamped pets, but it's changing it a little too much for me. I am a huge fan of malticorns so if they do change, I would like it to be as perfect as possible. For one, I really enjoyed the bright colors the malticorn had--the new one is much bluer and not as eye-catching. Um, I think most of my other points have already been hit on, so I won't babble on. But I wish it could be a little...fluffier? D=

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Rah, I know you're trying to re-assure me, but it's just not the same base pet xD;

Glad other people like it though c:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is one of the nicest revamps so far. I really feel like the original points of the pet have been kept (unlike some others that had no change despite feedback). The only things I see that might be changed are to set the tail higher and 'cock' the ears, and set them higher (though I also liked the way some others re-drew the hair a little looser and hanging over the eye). Nice job over all though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

its too "chibbish" for me. Sorry.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I... I prefer the older version more than the revamp. Not only does he look more like a puppy, but his body doesn't seem proportionate to me. It's as if his neck is too short and the fluff is just... flat. I love his "buttspots" though, I think those are a nice addition.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This new Malticorn has a white chest, therefore its body won't be whitel on this particular colour The glacier one will have a white body, and probably the arid too!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oooh I REALLY liked Typhoon_Muffin's tweaks

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The shape of the head, snout and eyes make me think of ruffies before their revamp. This looks less graceful-like and more puppie-like. The ears especially. Make them perk a little, maybe? The tail pokes out a little awkwardly. I dunno how to describe that one, sorry.

and...umm.. prepares to get shot ilovethebuttspots.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Alright, to each his own I guess.

All I can hope for now is that the malticorn is actually kept WHITE not blue ._.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Personally, I don't like it much. I love the chest ruff on the old version and this new one looks flat. And the round belly is now too slim. The tail outline disturbs me. It is all fluffy and then once it starts curving inward, it becomes flat. That isn't the way long fur works on a tail.

I enjoy the feathering and the small hooves. Both are lovely. And the dabbles on his rump are cute. ^^

The curved horn isn't my favorite, though that's a purely personal prefrence.

My biggest problem is the head. It looks like the top is incorrect. If you shaved the hair around the horn, his forehead would be flat. Other users have already pointed out the ears. And I agree that the eyes are off.

I voted old for those reasons, and that this new one is so static. The old one had a spunk in his eyes that the revamp lacks.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I do support this revamp since the Malticorn was in my opinion probably the pet that needed to be retouched the most. The new one has a lot more detail. The one thing I prefer about the old one though is it's ears and how they fluff out instead of looking more like puppy/dog ears? Other than that I think thats a good job.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

great improvement over the older version. I love the butt spots and the furry legs. The only thing I'm iffy about is the hair on top -- around the horn; it's too stiff looking I think.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The legeica already has fur on the legs that is a different colour to the body - it would be too similar. And yes, I know there are OTHER ways to be creative - but this is one of the ways, and is the way that I chose And again, it has been well received by a lot of people here. If I had chosen stripes, I'm sure we'd be in the exact position, but someone would be telling me that spots would be better!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Rah, I know other people like them, but there are other ways to be creative with markings AND colors. xD The ruffie has butt spots. The aerie seems to be getting butt spots, I mean, why not colored leg feathers? (fur by hooves) Something different and maybe more subtle is always nice c:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't like the spots. I don't like the blue color. I don't like the size of the eyes. : The head isn't very good.

I much preferred the feel of the old Malticorn. It was more Bambi-like.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I really like the revamp, although the head isn't very malticorn-like. I really like Typhoon's red-line. Atleast make the ears perkier?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Paintz, it's not just personal preference It's a way of adding more areas for colour placement to the pet, and if you read through the news post comments you'll see that actually, quite a lot of people like them So it's not JUST me!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This looks AMAZING! With a few small edits here and there it will be perfect!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yes yes yes! Those are the ears I'm talking about! Thank you Typhoon! pets the pretty ears
