The kerubi is up for a revamp and we'd like your opinions, suggestions and constructive criticism on this proposed design. Please vote in our <a href=/explore/polls.php?act=vote&poll=94>new poll!

i like the colors of the new one...if i get more pet slots, i might get one of these
it looks a bit more mature than the old version..
the front legs seem a bit too big indeed... and i think the ears should be a bit more alert, not so ready for cuddling.. it makes the pet too docile, in my opinion.
maybe the artist could keep the eyes and the smirk of the old version? i think it would be a perfect fit

I love the new suggested kerubi design. I only have a couple suggestions for it. The forelegs on the front legs are a little fat looking. And the back frontleg looks a little curved inward, when I think it should be a little straighter of a line. I really love the design and hope the artist doesn't take this as harsh comments.
Keep up the good work!
I think its very well drawn, the anatomy is fine and in this point a total advancement. No critism on the artistic part!
BUT - yes, boo at me XD - i think it completely lost his attitude. Everything this pet screams is: 'I'm cute and nothing else!!' Don't get me wrong, the face IS cute.. but i think the old version was just a bit more.. impish? I just have the feeling the old version showed a lot more charakter/emotion. pokes mouth and eyes
beautiful :3
I think the ears on the revamp could use a little bit of tweaking. The ear on the right looks kind of off, like the front part is curving in sharply towards the back. It also looks just a smidge too far down the side of it's head.
Pretty minor, but I noticed it immediately.
Nice revamp. I was looking at the Kerubi yesterday and thinking it needed one. I'm a little sad to see the pudgy swoopy arms go, but I can understand making them more defined like this.
Superb Revamp.
I suppose it was greyish before, but my suggestion would be to make the grey a little brighter
Other than that, this looks lovely
I feel the lineart detailing the fur on the kerubi is too "simple" and...I dunno how to put it, plastic-y? "Hard"? It doesn't look a lot like fur imo where there are quite a few other pet revamps (and newer arts in general) that have superior art in this regard. The shading is quite nice, but I don't think the lines itself do it much justice. I realize the kerubi is supposed to have a slightly more "cartoonish" look to it than some of the other pets, but I still think it lacks texture compared to a lot of the other revamps and newest arts we've seen. I also think more contrast in the shading is necessary, at least in the areas that aren't white. The lack of contrast makes it look overall more flat.
While I don't particularly agree with the style choice (simpler anatomy, the more cartoonish look), I realize that that is just how the kerubi is. I have no actual qualms with the anatomy aside from personal taste in style. I do, however, think that the style can be retained while making it overall looking more "smooth" and three-dimensional. I think, if the revamp were to go through as is, it would stick out a bit among the newest pet art here on Subeta.
Ahhhh omg omg omg cuuuuute! ... ahem I luff it! I have to say I find myself approving of all the minute changes you find in the new Kerubi. One of the criticisms I had for the old Kerubi (which has now been fixed) is that you couldn't see the back/tummy between the front and hind legs of the old one. The body was too shortened, with the front and back legs so close they were pressing on each other. The new kerubi is more fluid and gives the impression of a cat-like body. The fluffyness on the chest and face looks... well.. fluffy, rather than just a hint of fluffy through less detailed lineart. Again, nice touch. The ears and face are more realistic. And the tail. OMG the tail. One big fluffle that I want to glomp and huggle. ![]()
It is my fondest wish that the "new" update on the Angelic Kerubi be updated to this new look.
Old
"New"
If we can slide into a "newest", of this revamp, we could fall back into a slightly more feline reminiscent of the Old image, but with the updated look, I would be very happy. My greatest complaint at the spot update of just the Angelic Kerubi was that it lost that "kitty-ness" and the character in the face and body. I'm not trying to offend the artist who did this spot update so long ago, it's just that I felt it lost a lot of the character that had attracted me in the first place to this species.
Anyway, rambling. The update looks fabulous!
Nicely done!
The face is sooo cute. The only thing I don't really like is the front legs, they look really bulky. I love this revamp though. It's really amazing
Have you ever seen the kerubi tail wearables? :S
They're supposed to be ginormous!
OMFG SPELL CHECK FAIL.
LOL.
Magnificent... I should stop posting in these news things I have a tendency to humiliate myself.
The only thing I have to say is that I think the tail looks too big. I love everything else about the redraw, though.
Cute! the coloring is magnification. Who did it? ![]()
I voted for the new one, but I really think I prefer it for shading mostly, the pose isn't the same, the old one is actually more fluid and anatomically actually looks more correct, (other than the massive haunches of the old that is). The new pose looks meek because of how it's hunched and looks as though it would make the kerubi off balance, whereas the old looked extremely proud and balanced. Also, I think the eyes would look better if they were slightly more rounded rather than one being rounded and one having two points to it.
As others mentioned, I also think the new pose looks sort of like it is hunched over and that the expression is just not quite as cute.
Absolutely perfect, I love the suggested revamp.
its perfect!
it looks awesome
no complaints ^^
VERY nice. I love how this revamp is really just updated art; the character of the kerubi is the same as ever. Fantastic revamp, I don't see any real problem with it.
the kougra? loool
A revamp that looks true to the previous. I cannot be disappointed! Despite not having any Kerubi myself... XP
For the longest time I thought the Kerubi had already been revamped due to the newer colours it had been made in. I like where it is going
Talk about adorable. Those eyes are so cute. And the tail looks poofy, I like.
I actually really, really like this revamp...the only thing that bugs me a bit is it's smile; and how it kind of looks like it fuzzes out for a bit right before the end. I thought it was a smudge on my screen; it isn't. Other then that, I really do like this revamp =3 I like how the artist tried to keep a similar pose
You know... Aside from the thing being a little more slouched than before, it's pretty much a dead ringer for the original. Nice job
Wow, I didn't know they were going to have a revamp! I love it! I'm probably going to make my Jemini common just so I can look at the revamped prettiness. xD
The Glade Kerubi is a newer drawing, it's really unlikely they're going to revamp that along with this Kerubi revamp.
I don't think the special colors will change. Most of them don't look like they need revamps, and the actual design of the kerubi hasn't changed at all.
So cute. <3 Definitely a keeper!
Oh my. Not the Angelic and Spectrum ones. Dx
Hmmm. What to choose.
This new one is way better.
I like the new one ![]()
Absolutely fantabulous! This is like one of the few new lines that I actually like! ![]()
This is so cute. One of the few revamps I see nothing wrong with.
Okay, a lot of the revamps I've been pretty unhappy with. The Kougra for sure, I think whoever revamped that one was a dog artist, not a cat artist. But this Kerubi, whoever revamped it got it right on the mark. It has all the shy-sweet-innocent qualities that a Kerubi should have, awesome awesome job guys
This is brilliant! I can't think of anything that bothers me at all. ♥
ok the new one is better but it looks kinda shy oO the old one looks more happy xD so take the new one but give him a happier face ![]()
Cute! I like it.
the only thing I can see is that the curve of the legs and face make it look like it's leaning a bit. that's it, though, and this is a great improvement overall!
I'm going to have to agree with Rowf. But it all honesty, compared to the old one, I just don't like it. It just doesn't seem as bright and happy to me, and I liked the eyes, along with most everything else, on the old one better. I adopted .Solace. because I thought she was adorable and I wanted to potion her glade. Now I see that doing this could be a potential waste of my time and sP. I guess I'll have to wait and see if the revamp goes through, but by the looks of the poll it will. And assuming all colors will change and not just the ones with that pose, I may have to figure something else out for Sol.
LOVE IT.
Definitely hoping this revamp goes through, it's perfect. ♥ I might actually get one.
What a cutie ![]()
Ahh, I've been looking forward to this for so long. ♥ I like it a lot. ![]()
Love it to bits! I don't have a Kerubi, but if this revamp goes through, I sure will be getting one. ![]()
I LOVE this! The artist did an amazing job, seriously should be proud of yourself. I love all the people who try and help the artist, but don't take it all too seriously. Your work is great.
Critique: The front legs are way too close together and the back legs are too far apart. The back haunches on the revamp make the legs look disjointed from the hips which the revamp look more blob-ish. The eyes are also a thing that bugs me. The eyes on the re-vamp are too chibi-ish in my opinion, and the re-vamped eyes also make the kerubi look slightly disrtressed or angry whereas the old eyes gave a mischievous look.
The old kerubi was more flowy and looked more smooth while the newer one looks like a compacted chibi plushie. The revamp just looks way too chibified and mushy for me. I'm voting with the old, just because I don't want to see this proposed revamp go through without a few changes.
This is adorable. D':
Maybe it's just me, but the expression seems kind of blank or, judging by the eyebrows, a tad worried. I'm not sure about the darker grey body. Maybe lighten it up a bit to see? Otherwise, it's great! I like your Kerubis, Rah, I'm glad to see an update on them. Thank you for not changing the pose too much!
I have absolutely no complaints. ![]()
I adore the cuter and more defined face, the better anatomy, and I really, really love the little wings. ![]()
