Since I don't own a kerubi I'm probably not going to pick at as many things as kerubi owners would, but there's only really one thing about the revamp that I don't particularly like and that's the expression. The face on the old art made the kerubi look more happy or slightly excited about something. The new art gives off a more neutral expression which I suppose might be helpful for some. To each their own in that regard.

Besides that one point this revamp looks absolutely gorgeous!

I love this new Kerubi~ I don't think anything needs to be changed on it. =D

I like it, but I agree with some that the eye is too big/anime/innocent. I like the smaller eye that Lazeros just posted actually. Otherwise it is a fantastic revamp and a nice improvement while keeping the general feel of the original design.

- It's face reminds me too much of the Keeto. The eyes seem gothic and crap.

MUCH better. Lazeros, I don't really like the nose on your version much. The eyes are fine and look more realistic, but the nose makes it look kind of stupid. I don't think there's anything wrong with the one it has now.

I love the fact that the Kerubi is getting a much needed revamp, but I was also hoping that it would be a bit more feline. For some reason, I remember a lot of the older versions being more Feline in their looks. While being Canine isn't bad, I wanted to see the Kerubi move a little bit, especially away from the animeish eyes. While drawn wonderfully, I would have loved to see the Kerubi have eyes more along the lines of the Anyu, which in my opinion, has beautiful eye shapes.

In addition, the nose always looks kind of pasted on there. Maybe make it slightly larger? just to give it a bit of dimension? Please don't attack me for suggesting XD Here, I'll show what I mean:

Looks perfect but I would add a little bit more fur detail on the underside of the tail/ dark shaded area of the tail.

Looks very nice. The only thing I'd fix would be the arm cuz it looks a little bit off... Just a little, though. Other than that, the details and stuff are way better! But it seems more calm than happy now.

I like the old eye shape better.

It looks nice, but, I think the eyes are making it look too innocent and shy. The old kerubi looked happier and, for me, it was like it was going to start talking at any time.

I like the revamp a lot, but Some stuff is annoying me. The arm looks strange, sort of muscular and thick. (sort of creepy on a cute furry animal! XD) The tail, on the otherside, is smaller than the old one. My own opinion, but it's not nearly as fluffy looking! How sad! But, i love the new shading, it looks so much more professional. In general, the pet looks loads better, it's just those little things that can drive me crazy.

I love it; I think that it looks more in-keeping with Subeta's new tendency to lean away from the cartoony-look of pets and items. I think the head-wings are also fabulous.

While the detail is greater by far, I have some personal issues with the revamp. It looks hunched over a tad, and it doesn't seem to be smiling as much. The old one seems more fun, more confident, more certain of itself; the new one seems to be shrinking back from something.

I think it might benefit from standing up straighter and smiling more. Otherwise I'm stoked to see it get some attention at all. Great work guys.

Hm, I like this new look for the kerubi a lot. The detail is great, the shading looks a lot nicer, I love the less cartoonish style. I just have to nitpick one thing. The posture, how the kerubi's head is tilted forward, seems a little awkward. To me it seems that with its tail helping its balance it wouldn't need to be leaning forward quite so much. I'm probably just looking at the image too hard, but I felt I should mention it. Beautiful artwork still. I'll be keeping my kerubi for quite a long time.

I like that the changes are subtle. I do agree that the eyes a little too chibi-ish, and that front leg is a bit on the bulky side.

Oh my godddd. The Kerubis were already my favorite basic pets, and this makes them even cuter. I love you, Rah (?). I am beyond happy with this!

The only real issue I have is with the mouth being too small for my taste. And then, I'd absolutely adore it if the pose were standing up, but I realize the whole thing would have to be redone for that to occur. Other than that, adorable!

Aww, this is adorable, Rah ! So far the only few things I notice are that the base of the tail is enormous right now, and that it could use to be sitting a little more straight up like the old kerubi, with a slightly tilted head. The old (very very very old art ugh) one looks more alert and ready to play, imho, while this one is slightly more haunched over, giving me a feel of "I'm not certain if I should go play with the others".

Also, moving the eyeshine to our left would make more sense since the light source is on top left! Wonderful art, wonderful shading Rah-cupcake, as always <3

I love it! I honestly took a very close look at the art to see if I could find any proportion mistakes but I couldn't. Being an artist myself, I give my thumbs up in approval! (^.^)b

This revamp of the default Kerubi really fits with all the revamps of the special colors we've been getting. I see some people saying that a few things need to be changed to make this new one "happier" or "less docile" but I have to disagree. The old default Kerubi design in my opinion didn't really fit with the special colors because the default was playful while the others looked more calm and docile (with the exception of a few like Bloodred and Spectrum of course).

But I digress before I ramble anymore. All in all, I'm VERY pleased with the new design!

I love the newer look. The only thing I dislike is that the fur looks a bit choppy still, but otherwise, it's freaking fantastic.

I love the new image because cause of the extra fur and shadowing detail and I agree with people saying that it has a loss in personality. It should have a devilish side like before. The old image looks like it's saying "I didn't do it can I have a cookie?"

Eye brows can change everything.
