It's time for another <a href=/explore/polls.php?act=vote&poll=83>revamp poll.</a> This time the Paralix is looking forward to your constructive comments and critique.

After reading Ravel's post I also think fur on the end of the tail would make it look perfect. Though either way I'm probably adopting a paralix

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

wow, i really like it. ive never seen a revamp get so many more votes than the original. i love it

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

Hmm.. I'm usually very picky with revamps but I actually like this one a lot! I see nothing that bugs me. Though I've never really liked the blackness in the paralix's eyes, but that's a minor thing and was already there in the first place.

Ooh! The revamp I've been waiting for! Can't wait to see the change of the Angelic, I'd never change my Raquiz as she was my first painted pet, but it looks like she has broken ribs.

Anywho, I love it. I really can't see anything wrong with it at all. A few fangirlish wishes, though, would to see a little more of a furry tail (there's no fur lines/highlights, and a tuft of fur would be love), and perhaps a little more fur on the top of the head. I loved the slightly messy fluff on the old version.

This is amazing. Keshi, you seriously outdo yourself with each piece of art you give us, I swear. I love it so much, and I've never really loved the Paralix as much as other pets.

Sorry for a TRIPE POST but I'm scatterbrained

I also moved the muzzle + cheek upward- NOT THE EYE. Just the muzzle and cheek.

OKAY OKAY I tried to edit the image in MSpaint this was done on touchpad only so do not laugh... too hard. XD

CHANGES:

  • made the left leg 'stick out' more
  • removed the mane under the muzzle, thus making the neck look thicker
  • thickened the underbelly scales
  • moved the right leg further away from the left, making the chest look wider
  • editted the tail + legfluff placement on the hind leg

I hope this actually makes sense and helps...

I have never seen this many votes FOR a new revamp. They are always relatively close..

But seriously, this picture is the perfect image of the Paralix. And I can honestly say, this has been one of my favorite revamps EVER.

Who drew it?

I only have one thing to poke at. The left hind leg seems sort of...Odd. The other has a heel, this one doesn't seem to have an end to the foot.

This is completely awesome. I might consider on getting a paralix as a pet, if this goes through. I honestly see nothing to critisize on this. I think the mane looks great, and I love the tufts of hair on the joints. I also don't see anything that looks a little awkward. And I love the expression. Major kudos to the artist on this one!

AAAHHHHH I love this revamp omg I was waiting for it since the day they revamped the first pet when I was on this site

I got a couple crits though. The front left (our left) paw seems to kinda be just idly danging there- make it more like it's being held out, like in the original, and it'd be tons better. I also think that the right (also our right, obviously) front leg is a bit too close to to the other one.

The neck seems too thin, or the head too big- this could be easily remedied by removing the hint of mane under the muzzle, and widening the underbelly 'scales'.

It might also be worth trying to shorten the length of the head a smidgeon... I'd redline for you guys, but I'm currently without a tablet on a crappy laptop T__T

OMG YAY!! I have been waiting for the revamp of the Paralix! X3 I have one of these and love it. This revamp it awesome! The artist did a good job! They only thing I don't really like is how the whiskers curl up. They should be more loose like the old one has. =3

The teeth and claws. On Eastern dragons most have (slightly) longer canine teeth on the top and bottom.

Quote By Wikipedia:

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;">The people paint the dragon's shape with a horse's head and a snake's tail. Further, there are expressions as 'three joints' and 'nine resemblances' (of the dragon), to wit: from head to shoulder, from shoulder to breast, from breast to tail. These are the joints; as to the nine resemblances, they are the following: his horns resemble those of a stag, his head that of a camel, his eyes those of a demon, his neck that of a snake, his belly that of a clam (shen, &, his scales those of a carp, his claws those of an eagle, his soles those of a tiger, his ears those of a cow. Upon his head he has a thing like a broad eminence (a big lump), called [chimu] (&;&. If a dragon has no [chimu], he cannot ascend to the sky.

Actually there are a few other things to fix.

Beautiful work, Keshi! Everything a revamp should be - same Paralix, new and more detailed art. Just a handful of suggestions:

-The right front leg looks a bit too short. Cut out the forearm between the shoulder and wrist joints and lay it alongside the left arm to see what I mean. Angling the leg forward just a tiny bit (like in the current design) so you can lengthen it without going out-of-bounds would fix that.

-That triangular area of dark shading between the belly and thigh. I can see what you were going for, but I don't think it follows the body's contours quite right. Compare it to that little black line where the leg separates from the body, just above the belly; the lines seem to move in opposing directions.

-The grey line down the center of the chest looks out of place. If it's lightened and the black outlines bordering the scales were a bit more pointed in the center, I think it would give it more of the texture you were going for.

I also agree with some others about making it look a bit more ferocious like the original - bigger grin, visible canines, and maybe angling the face toward the camera a tiny bit more. Personal preference, though. Overall beautiful work.

I really love this revamp!

The only things on the original I prefer are the whiskers (they are too curly for my tastes) and the fangs (the original looks mor fierce, which is love).

Other than that, I really love this revamp. It's awesome how much the artist stuck with the original pose and look and just enhanced and added upon what was already there. More revamps should be like that, in my opinion.

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

Okay, there are a few things that bug me about this one.

First the hair/fur coming of the left hind leg. It doesn't look like the tail is curling so that it'd appear behind that leg, but the fur still indicates that the leg is in front of the tail. That sort of makes it look like the leg is bent in awkwardly.

Second, the lighting on the side between the legs looks awkward. The body looks a little flat there too, side to side.

Third, the expression isn't as evil as before. I liked how the bigger grin on the old one allowed for an outline of some of the fangs and the old eye looks a bit more evil.

I think that's it really, of the things that bug me. I was worried that the Paralix would be changed to much and even if this was the revamp it's still close to the original. The face is still evil even if I think it's not as evil. The wicked nature was one of the main reasons I picked a Paralix so I can't tell you how happy I am that it's still there. I was afraid of what might get added to it too, but I love the addition of the tufts of fur. The belly scale-lines bug me somewhat, but I think the stomach would look too plain compared to an updated body if they weren't there. I like it. I hope a couple things get tweaked, but even if they don't thank you for keeping all the aspects of the Paralix that were present in the original!

Omg this is just amazing! Its what a revamp should be.

I love my Colamae and considering what some of the recent revamps look like I was soo scared, but this is just what I was hoping for I'm not that fond of the fur on the legs and arms though, it makes it look to cluttered at the bottom, but aside from that everything else is great.

I hope Keshi ends up doing the Charlie revamp
