Lol Kanye xD!! Awesome artwork 
!
Lovely revamp. I don't know why people are complaining about he Kumos - it's amazing! I like that the old elements have been kept in - so kudos for that. Plus the Fester revamp does look a lot better looking at the previous version. I love that little darkmatter underneath its wing. c:
We LOVE you Arbor ~
That's one massive revamp there on the Fester!
awsome ;D
Overlays, people, overlays. They exist.
How is that Kumos fat? Like someone said, it's the normal size of a Kumos. Maybe even skinnier. It looks healthier.
Totally gorgeous, as usual. Arbor, you're making me love DM pets lately. ♥
Wow, both of these revamps are great! 
I absolutely adore the new Kumos, it's adorable! The Fester is a huge improvement.
Nailah! No! In all honesty it's not bad. I just liked how the old one was slimmer and less fluffy and huggable. I liked it's almost menacing look. I like that you fixed the neck thing but... :/ it's just not what I love anymore. Might have to make her a cadogre now...
XD I love how everyone was whining for the DM Kumos to be revamped.. and now a load of people are whining about how they don't like it :B.
Erg... eww. The new Kumos is well-drawn, but it looks a lot of its luster.
The Kayne reference, however, is amazing.
I lol'd at the Kanye reference. I like the kumos c:
Shit. I guess I'm gone. Karinthos isn't nearly as sleek as he used to be. And since I can't find a good replacement color for him...I'm done. Oh well.
Love the new Kumos, very nice. ^^ And love the news post. Kanye. xP
I swore to myself I'll never mention another species on such a topic, but I disagree about the Fester. DM Lasirus is the one really in need of... serious help. XD
The kumos is gorgeous. Classy classic. Fester... has a cool haircut XD
V good job on both!
lovely revamps. :]
whoah,I thought subeta was exaggerating about this, but this is a massive improvement
i think the only problem with the DM kumos is that its eyes are too small.
BUT other than that it's fantasmamazing. 
arbor never ceases to amaze me.
Just as I was finally happy with all of my pets... I need more pets. They're both great, but I love the kumos.
Wow i love the new Kumos, much better than the neck-broken old friend. ^^ But something about the eyes seems only a little bit off, and holding the same pose was not needed for me. =) Anyway i like it, now we can talk about a Kumos again! Good Job Arbor!
The Fester is also damn amazing, who's their artist? I really love the Dark Matter on the right side, and i'm in love with the whole Fester, Kudos to both. ^^
Sylvia_Myshell_Holmes The Darkmatter Fester I bow to whomever drew the dark matter Fester. All my pets except Dickie_Twinkles may become Festers if they come out in all the colors. Cuz I loves me some Festers. Thanks, Luxe.
you people whine too much, The artist loved the change and I say it look so chibi! huggles Thanks for the wonderful kumos!
Love you! Love you! Love you! For the DM Fester revamp! Thanks! Love, Tracy
The Fester looks awesome but the head of the Kumos looks odd...
Nice new Kumos, probably still lean towards the older one though, it looked nice rather skinny xD
OMG YES! THIS NEWS POST IS FULL OF WIN! Epic DM Kumos revamp + Kanye West lulz = LOVELOVELOVE
the DM kumos was the reason I joined this site... I think it's still pretty good but I like the old one more
I like the Fester, especially the colouring~
The Kumos. Well. It was my first dream pet ever. Well, I... well... ...at least the pose was kept ._. I hope it'll grow on me... Erh... It was bound to happen someday, but still.
It's... no. Too sweet and cuddly, too fluffy and bulky. The old DM Kumos was so wonderfully lean, with long legs like a storch. Oh well, that's what overlays are for. (Not to say it's not good art, it is, just not what I like about the DM Kumos.)
I must say I preferred the old one, but I'm glad the posture hasn't been totally changed. It did look more majestic before, but there's still character to this one. Good work, artists Think I'll keep mine this way!
I LOVED the old DM Kumos and I had three during my time here - now with the revamp I must say that...I love it even more, thank you so much for this stunning revamp. Finally it looks like a Kumos! ♥
The Fester also is a major improvement, good job here as well!
Good news Kumos. I still say it looks anatomically awkward, but definitely an improvement from the old one. The shading on the Fester, especially the neck fluff is beautiful.
Fester is AWSOME!
Hehe, great, so after reading through the comments it obviously isn't just me who did not realize any changes^^ pats Rawon
nuuu the new kumos looks like a dog T___T the old one looked like a werewolf O:
I'm neutral about the new Kumos.
Although, the overly slim one made me lul.
Either way, Saiixx is fine the way he is :3
I don't like the new kumos, sorry. :/ I preferred my old dm kumos. weeps for it I guess I gotta find a new color for my poor Kakure.. this just doesn't fit anymore.
YAY FESTER WOO HOO! i've been waiting on this one!
ohhh, it's beautiful. I'm not sure I'm rushing to change any of my Festers yet - this one looks fierce and angry but it doesn't have that sly intelligent look I love with the festers - like they're laughing behind their beaks at something you MIGHT be intelligent enough to share with them.
But then the old one didn't have that either and this is gorgeous. I'ma take a few days to think it over.
The Kumos completely rocks my socks. I'm still not getting one but I love it. To my eye it's kept everything I liked about the old one only the anatomy works now and the art style fits.
Lovely work all round. I love our artists 
wääh T.T i don't like the kumos...it looks like it's in fear..sorryy..but I love the old one!! and the neck looks not better 
i like the new kumos but i'm going to get me the use the old picture for making and overlay for legolas. ithe old one's slim annatomy was fitting better for his character
Awww. I'm sorry, but I just do NOT like that kumos. The old one's anatomy was much prettier. Now it's just blocky and... Ugh. Lost all of it's expression.
Beautiful, simply awesome.
Very nice. Although I did prefer the old kumos. I think this one has a more masculine look to it's face due to the more chunky and round snout. How cool would it be to have male and female versions?!
I love them both. Especially the Fester. I'm kind of annoyed the artist had to cater to the whiners and keep the Kumos' pose. Seriously, compared to the other DM, the Kumos is kind of boring. But the revamp is such a major improvement compared to the old one. : ]
While I loved the old Kumos, I also adore the new one. The last one was freaky, slim and graceful, this one is masculine and strong; different from each other, but both great. Sad to lose the one, happy to get the other.
The fester is awesome, with a dynamic pose and great texture on its wings.
....Loving that kumos...yes, I think Miria shall be one!
oh no. I liked the first darkmatter kumos better.
ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME! Sheesh. What has it been? 2-3years since the Fester SPECIES revamp? -.-;
Anyway, great job on both of these. I'm surprised old kumos fans are complaining about this revamp... Actually, no, no I'm not. Initially it's surprising but not after you think about it for a couple seconds.
Anyway, kids, shut up. The kumos is 95% the same as what it's always been. Weird, thin and tall. The only thing I don't like about it is the head and how light it is. Definitely should've been a little bit darker but it's nothing a quick trip to ANY PAINT PROGRAM won't fix.
Fester, of course, looks awesome. XD I kinda miss the old standing pose but not really. Not sure how I feel about the head feathers though... It would've been awesome if they remained black instead of pulling off the Aird look. Even black with purple tips would've been awesome. Never the less, you get a 9/10!
FINALLY. Poor lil' Fester finally got a new look after all these years~ pats lovingly
WOW
now I want a Kumos myself!
Lovely Kumos. A
It did kinda lost the edge the old one had, but at least its neck finally healed. x'D
beautiful
