MUCH better than the first (now discarded) revamp. I was so upset when that last revamp was polled, I love my malticorn!!!

The head looks kinda weird to me, I can't quite put my finger on why though... too short, maybe? I like the body, the spots are cute but maybe just have a couple less?

Otherwise, this is definitely an improvement on the last revamp. If i cant have my malti the way she is now, this is fine ^^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm going to be the turd and say that I liked the original revamp better. Not very fond of the new bum spots, but the tail and the body are very nice. The chest fluff looks a bit weird to me, and I can't place why. The whole head is bothering me the most, though. The ears look too ragged and not fluffy like I always thought they were. The hair I don't like at all. I think it needs to look longer and less groomed. It seems too neat somehow. Something bugs me about the face, as well, but I don't know what because it's really bugging me.

But if Rah's the one behind this, I'm sure she'll fix up all the flaws and make it perfect like she did with the ruffie.

Omg I love it

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ah, alright rah.

But really, why in the WORLD would you keep the buttspots. They're being way over-used and make the malticorn lose personality, personal preference or not ;;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Rah-The horn will be staying the same I'm afraid, and the buttspots - just so you're prepared for that not changing!

I have to admit I'm not a big fan of the butt spots, but what about spreading them out a bit more of perhaps increasing the size?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow o-o I totally was not expecting so many people to like my redline. Just wow XD Thanks Rah ^^ and I totally see what you mean by the leg, I just noticed that right before I posted it, silly mistake on my part XD I liked the ears on the previous revamp so I tried to see if I could recreate that, I just though they were a bit too droopy on this newer one but to each their own of course. But with a few tweaks I think this could turn into a very lovely malticorn. c:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Typhoon, that's a really nice redline! I'm not sure about the back knee (the closer one), it looks a bit thin, and I try not to make the smile on common pets TOO big because I like to keep them as neutral as possible. Also, I was trying to make the ears a bit closer in style to the reborn - a bit more droopy. But yes, that is a lovely redline and I expect you'll get quite a few users demanding I use it xD I can definitely use a few things from it but not all!

Also, Jag didn't want to draw the Malticorn anymore. She didn't feel comfortable with it, but I do and I enjoy revamps and all the hell you users put me through trying to figure out what you mean by 'the face is off!' and such comments xD Hopefully I have fixed most of the things mentioned here, although remember I can't please all you guys, as much as I'd like to! The horn will be staying the same I'm afraid, and the buttspots - just so you're prepared for that not changing!

Thanks for all the feedback n__n

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

the hair looks like the old plush-toilet-seat of my grandpa. looks TOO doggy for me also. i liked the straight horn of the old one more than this curved one. it's nice, and quite cute and such, but it has no expression to me. it's just there. dunno.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah, like others have said, looks too dog like. Also, the front leg is misshaped. Looks like a human leg. Sorry to who-ever did this, but I'm sure you could do better.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Meow, what i mean is, why is the artist who did the previous revamp not working on the malticorn anymore. Their style fit the pet very well.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Typhoon_Muffin Oh my gosh its perfect Prettyyy please make it look like that!!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The face looks too dog-like in my opinion. But besides that, it's cute. =]

The original malticorn artist (and the one I believe started the species) is no longer on staff, and hasn't been for some time.

I am also wondering why the malticorn was given to a different artist.....

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's pretty good compared to the older version, but I still think there's a lot more you could do. It reminds me of the ruffie.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This does not seem like a revamp that would go through to me. The lines are a bit harsh and the coat color is MUCH too blue. I know white is a pain to shade, but really xD;; The proportions of the face seem a bit spread out and it's lost the cute whimsical look.

Typhoons edit is lovely and fixes the face perfectly.

I'm also a little confused as to the new butt markings, like others, it reminds me of the ruffie.

This is a good attempt but just needs a lot more work.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nice redline, Typhoon I'd still like to see more flaring around the ankles so the legs don't look so thin, but yours captures the essence of Malticorn much better than either revamp.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It... no. It looks like it should be in some badly animated cartoon, singing about lollipops and rainbows. It isn't cute. It looks like there's something wrong with the head, the shades of blue don't look good together, and it's head-fluff looks like it's a bad toupee just sitting there.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

As an owner of a Malticorn, I think it's good. Even though Medin will eventually be revamped (BR Malticorn that he is), I feel that it will be a step forward. I only see a few minor issues with this...

The ears a very cute, but I don't care for the hair on top of it's head. It's too solid looking and gives the eyes a mean look (especially the viewer's right side). I donâ€™t want the hair GONE, but I wish it had a less clumped look to it.

The face lost the puppy look and ended up a little more mature, which Iâ€™m not fond up considering how much younger the body looks. The other thing is that the face looks a little on the flat side and the eyes ended up with a totally different shape, expression, and color. I know why the color was changed, but I think lighter (grey) would have been better than darker (purple)... but that is just my opinion. I wish the shape would be changed to something more similar to the reborn Malticorn, which this seems to be based off of.

I think the last third of the tail could be a little more detailed because right now it just looks like a club. The rest of the tail has the fur details, why not the end?

Next, he two little swirls on the closest front leg and neck. I see them on the previously proposed revamp, so Iâ€™m not sure if itâ€™s a nod at the other revamp or what. Personally, with all the other fur on the Malticorn looking straight or simply wavy, I think theyâ€™re a little random and distracting.

Finally, the buttspots (as everyone seems to call them). A more gradual end to them would seem a little more natural to me because they seem to follow a shape instead of just being random spots.

All in all, a fabulous job to the artist. Medin will be pleased with his new look!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think it would look better if it were a bit more equine and less canine with hooves. Mostly the head, which I think I would prefer to be held a little higher, as well. Right now the head juts akwardly off the neck.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Typhoon, that is wonderful! The head and face are such improvements; I would really love to see your lines used for the final redraw.

I'm very picky about my maltis being revamped, but your example is very much what I was hoping for.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think this revamp is quite nice, but I actually liked the previous one wayy better. I find the fur on the head looks too flat, it's kind oh like it's wearing a mop. Also, I highly agree with what Falorie Had said. All in all, I think it just needs a few touch ups, but I know that it can be a wonderful revamp!!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Overall the body is a big improvement but I highly dislike the head, the anatomy is a bit weird mostly on the back legs but it's not a huge deal for me anyway, the head is what's bothering me the most. It just looks rather odd, the eyes seem to far apart and the hair seems rather squished down.

I'm sure everyone is tried of me posting redlines XD but I gave it a go again to try and show what I mean, I tried to fix the head the most and did a few tweaks on the body:

Also i'm not sure what to think about the spots, I like them but I'm not sure those would be best to add onto this pet specifically ^^U

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I just want to start out with the art is beautiful, great job! there are however, a few things bothering me. The hooves look a little small and too dainty for the malticorn to ever be considered male, as does the face, well not small but it doesn't look like the malti could be male, it seems a little lacking in shading. the ears seem to much like dog ears to me and just looking at the face it looks like a horned puppy, and some part of me isn't liking the butt spots... my last ting is that the left front leg seems to short in comparison to the back left leg and the angle the front leg is at seems forced, i think it would look more natural if it were placed back a little more and here ends my thingy of stuff

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Something about the face looks really awkward to me... The nose seems out of place with the eyes I think. And the ears dont really give the feeling of ears. At least not the older ears of the previous malticorn... The coloring is lovely but I really dont like the face :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh gods. After staring at this one and then going to the poll page, I realize now how badly the malti needs this revamp lol. I voted for the old simply because I'd love to see this current one tweaked a bit. It's not perfect, but here's a redline to basically sum up my post if you don't feel like reading lol (I hope it works, and.. huge post incoming XD)

I think the face could use a little work- it looks a bit wide. Maybe the ear facing us could be brought in closer to the face (and maybe lifted so they don't look as droopy)? I read the purple eyes were to make them pop out, but I think the color kinda clashes, sorta like hmm.. random purple? lol. Maybe something like a silver/gray would fit better maybe, to replace the once silver-colored horn. Dunno. Also I'd like to see the head-hair a bit fluffier and glossier as others have mentioned.

The legs I think throw the whole body off.

The back leg facing us looks too curved outwards- maybe you could try pulling the ankle closer to the body.
The other back leg.. doesn't look long enough. Maybe because the front lifted leg is sitting at the same level position-wise as the back, making it appear unintentionally lifted as well.
Lift the front leg if it's going to be lifted and make it a bit longer
Elbow-age? Maybe not so much as in my redline, but you can see it at that level on the front, so it might make it a little more even if it shows at that angle, too.

Also. Straight horn! I know, reborn = curvy and popular. But I think that's what should make the special colors.. special lol. The graveyard has them too, but I prefer the commons straight. Personal tastes on that, though.

Love the tail, the fur on the legs, and yes I love the random butt-spots XD. Good luck Rah . This is a vast improvement already, and I'm so looking forward to when this goes through all finalized and perfected

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's so cute! It looks like it's cross between a puppy and unicorn.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

:C i like the art and stuff, but i used to LOVE the way its 'hair' was up to its eyes, y'know, it was like "i'm so cuuute and i have a horrrnnn lookk loookkk " but now the malticorn just lost it :/.. i like this one, i really like, but i just cant-not-vote on the original one, its face makes me "HE'S SO CUTE" all the time ;-; dfhsdhaf;f; i don't know, i really sucks at constructive crits. but i hope you get the point :/ also, if you subeta artists are going to revamp the Angelic Malticorn, PLEASE keep the coloured linearttt :/// it's mine and almost all people i know prefered thing on it :C congrats for the work, anyway, guys, i love this site

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I do like this one. The hooves don't look out-of-place on it (though they might look a bit too small) like on the old revamp. But I think the face looks a little girly. I'm not sure what it is, maybe the large, innocent eyes. I also feel that the face needs more shading since it's looking a bit flat. A little more shading between the top of the eye and middle of the face (you know, where the eye caves in due to it's socket?) might work. Now the ears, they look kind of strange and lumpy... Perhaps if they were given "sharp" ends on the tufts of hair instead of rounded it would be better (on a side note, why do some pets on here have that? unless the ends of the hair curls into itself like on a sheep, it should have jagged tuft-ends, right?). One last thing: the lines on the fur covering the hooves are a wee bit too thin. Well, really it's just the right-most leg on the image.

Buuuuuut, overall it's a great revamp. The body is looking good. I think it still needs a little work on the face, but other than that, I would love to see this baby go through.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Eh, something about the legs looks off. But then again I guess they would if it's a combination of a horse and a dog. XD Even though it's supposed to be dog like, I think the muzzle could still be a bit longer. I'm not really a fan of the spots either. But I don't particularly like Malticorns anyway, and the old one is so outdated that anything would be an improvement. So whatever happens is okay with me really.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It like it, but I think the left ear ( the one behind the head ) could use some touching up. It looks werid, like its blowing in the wind or sometihng or just floating there. I also think the tail and the feet need fixing too. I like what

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm afraid I don't really like this revamp. The anatomy is really off. Not that I'm any good at drawing animals, I just think it looks awkward.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Where to start... I usually have no problem with revamps.. most of the time. But this one just.. it irks me. Mostly with out the polls are turning out with the revamp being in the lead.. Oi.

I just have a few crits for the artist who made this. Try making the hair on the head less mop-formed. Hair isn't flat, it sticks out in places and isn't always sitting down. Hair.. it almost has a mind of its own, if you think about it. xD Also, the face looks somewhat flat and lacks depth or personality. It just looks like its posing, a fake smile.. It should naturally be happy, not a poser happy. ): The curved horn and the ears look silly too.. Not sure what you did with the ears, they just looks misplaced.

I'm not so fond of the butt spots ether, I think you should stick to the original design. White without the butt spots and a white horn.

I think the anatomy is fine, i'd rather have that leg lifted to be rested on the ground though..

Sadly, i'll be voting for the old one until this one is fixed up a little bit more.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like unicorns, and those maltese look pretty cute, but I've never been a fan of the malticorn. I think I like this new revamped malticorn though! Still, the most annoying part of the old malticorn (for me anyway) is still there - the big flop of hair that looks like a toupÃ©e. A bad toupÃ©e, made worse by the darkened color. If the hair could be made prettier, or even just the same color as the ears, I think it would be awesome! Other than that, the ears seem a little to thick, and I agree that the raised leg looks a little too short. I would prefer a straight horn, but that's certainly not a deal-breaker.

So Rah is responsible for this? Congrats - I give it an "A". But if you somehow manage to fix that hair, I'll give you an A+. And a bunch of gold stars as well!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

In short- Hooves are too small, tail looks awkard as well as the rest of the anatomy, and I think it resembles ruffie.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Looks much better, but it lacks the adorable fluffiness of the original.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I never knew the Malticorn was suppose to be a cross between a Malteses and a Unicorn. I always thought it was a mountain goat or something.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like it, for the most part. My main objection is that right foreleg looks shorter than the other legs. (I know it's supposed to be lifted off the ground, but to me it looks shorter and not just lifted.)

Also, the tuft of hair handing by the eye looks a lot like an "evil eyebrow."

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm not a fan of this revamp. I own two malticorns and hope to have three in the near future, but this revamp has lost the characteristics I had loved in the species.

The head and face have a look of distortion, in particular the eyes, and the hair makes the skull look oddly-bulbous. I also notice the body and overall anatomy are on the stiff and/or odd-side. The coloring and shading used aren't to my taste either- the hair most strikingly so. The style just isn't my thing. The ears would also look better, I think, adjusted up with more curl like the previous version.

I know the previously proposed revamp has been discarded, and though I found faults with it as well I find it a preferable track in design and style.

Thank you regardless to the artist for the attempt.

Will the Reborn Malticorn be revamped is this goes through? That is what I'm most frightened of. My other malticorn I could just morph into a different species if I must but the reborn version is my favorite color on the site.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

WAY better, but the only thing that bothers me are the butt-spots and the muzzle seems to short. Other then that, good.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ah, I am quite fond of this, actually. I think that this is much better.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree with most of the others. It looks a bit to slim, where the previous one was a bit more thicker framed. Also, the legs do seem awkward and almost just stuck onto a random place on the body. The hooves are too small. Plus, the horn would look much less weird if it was straight and not curved so. A little longer too maybe? The head/chest area bug me. There's something off... it might be that the head is to small and the chest is to... fluffy/poofy? o.o Also, the face dose look to much like a Ruffie... and.... I don't like the spots. It's just too... =/ Plus, it dose look very forced and too dog-like. WHERES THE UNICORN PARTS? Also, a more dynamic pose maybe? It's too generic...

I do think that the Malticorn is in need of a re-vamp... but I don't think this particular one should be it. <3 Good try for the artist though.... but please try to make some changes to it so it doesn't seem so awkward?

Thank you! ^^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The style is much more improved than he older version, but the anatomy seems off for the legs and the head. I think if you just added/changed a few more things on this, it'd be great.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The shading and detail work is nice, but the overall shape and face seem to have lost some of their character. I never thought equine with the malticorn, I thought more goat-like, but this does make me think more canine now.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh dear, no... the anatomy looks all off to me. The hooves seem far too tiny. And the legs look just... weird. Also, the brow seems to wide - I mean, the hairtyle should be so, but the head shape doesn't fit. Also, I'd rather see a straight horn, like some people said before me. Sorry about too little optimism, but I was really expecting something better. This guy doesn't look natural at all. And I'd love to see Malticorns get some justice. CHANGE THE LEGS. Entirely. PLEASE. It might solve almost everything, the way I see it O.o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree that I'd like the horn to be straight as well.

I very much like the speckles on the rump and the hair around the hooves

Nobody else has mentioned this but to me I feel like the malticorn has always had a very thick frame. It looks like it's been thinned down quite a bit. So personally I'd like to see it be a bit bulkier.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

For some reason it feels like the legs are all coming out of the wrong places. Not feeling this one.

It's a pity the last artist (Was it Jag?) had to give up the Malticorn; I really loved that version!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I voted for the old one. This one looks TO much like a dog. And yeah, the name suggest a Maltese cross... but we have so many dog-like pets, and the newer posed colors (i.e. reborn, ect) don't show this much canine... also - the head looks too small. Or the chest too big.. and the angle of its back legs looks off.. But I DO agree we need a revamp. Just not this one.. e.e;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well its definitely cute, and I like the face, but the body is weird. The longer I stare at its body the more mistakes I can see on it. And I'm kinda surprised to hear its a new artist since the pose and body shape look the same to me. Its still looks like a box.

I don't know why the artists are insisting on going back to it roots and making look more dog like. The old one did not look like a dog and everyone was fine with that and loved it. I see no reason to change it back when many people would prefer it to stay more elegant and horse like.

All I can say is, I'm gonna be really sad when all the elegant malticorn color are redrawn to suit this new -looks-like-a-5-year-old revamp.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I do like the straight horn better than a curved one. And the eye shape seems a little odd. I think that might be what's bothering people about the face?

Also, if some sort of marking was needed, I wish it wasn't butt spots. Wasn't the added marking for the Ruffie spots too? Every revamp isn't going to start sporting spots right?

Anyway, the shading looks off to me. I can't really tell where the light is supposed to be coming from, especially with the bright spot on the side.

I like how silky the fur looks, especially around the feet, and how it seems to keep the original personality of the pet. It's quite pretty too. This would leave what, the Clawsion or Hipposaru as the most out of place pet (due to old art)?

Logged Out

Rah-The horn will be staying the same I'm afraid, and the buttspots - just so you're prepared for that not changing!
