Blacklight Pets

September 3, 2010 5:19 pm

It's a party in the <a href=/cashshop.php?act=items>Cash Shop! It looks like someone turned off the lights and brought a black light! Spectrum pets look a little bit different, but the effect is stunning! If you purchase a Blacklight Potion, your pets can look like this too! So far there are seventeen pets available in this color; these are the anyu, archan, bovyne, bumbus, cadogre, chai, feli, keeto, kerubi, kora, mallarchy, malticorn, montre, priggle, terracoon, tutani, and wyllop! Which is your favorite?

haha I have seen this idea circulating for a while, I'm excited it's finally official!

; for an overlay, you can do what you want, but glowing colors on a black pet=/=infringement. If they were ripping off the colors and design from a character, sure. But these are called BLACKLIGHT pets. And. after a little searching, Icouldn't findanything about Blacklight being copywrite to anyone, other than the chemicals that are used within the lights themselves, and not the colors or patterns beyond what already exists in media, such as the specific patterns used in A View to Kill.
And besides, if subeta was worried about 'copywrite' laws around blacklight, the very name 'Blacklight' would be the last thing on their list to use. It would be like calling a color 'Pokemon' or 'Zelda' but making the pets look slightly different from things in pokemon/Zelda by fading out a few colors.

Ahhhh! Want want want! To the artist who dreamed this up, you are AWESOME!

I feel like spectrum is now devalued because blacklight is using the same poses...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's a neat idea and all, but the poses being the same as for the Spectrum pets seems a little... Well, lame. I do hope that whenever revamps occur for these pets, the poses are changed in this color.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm really pissed at this, sorry. Cool, new color coming out. Wait, just the spectrum Pets with a black/gray base instead of white? No redrawn pose? AND the Potion is in the Cash Shop? For me that's a rip off, I'm sorry. I can understand that there needs to be money coming in, but this is just a kick in the face. I'm sure I will never buy such a potion, is it from a user or from the Cash Shop. It's just cheap, way too cheap for Subeta. I fear this site going down...

Not when it's an official pet vs. an overlay. The Staff can do whatever they want with the pet, these are official and they make the rules -shrugs-

omg blacklight archan

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

lain -

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

... isn't that what they're doing anyways by calling them Blacklight pets?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay, I want to get one for Instict now.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Actually now if someone -does- use a black base on a spectrum pet, you are breaking the rules because it is impersonating Blacklight.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

SO adorable. Subeta, you are on a roll today. <3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

But ; that's just it. Special poses are intended to be special, and these are... really simple to make, to put it lightly. The other potions available for cash are really worth it. One gives a unique pet unlike others around the site, and the MP I&II give you any color you want, or the ability to morph a pet into any one you want, which can also be very useful. This really just gives a bland five-minute recolor of a special pose that is supposed to be unique for a certain potion, which someone could get very easily for a lot less on the art forums or just make themselves with gimp. The thing with other special pose pets is that the artists do put a lot of effort into posing and designing them and don't just go about recoloring things like other pet sites, then expect you to shell out a good but of money for. This... really doesn't cut it, (And they really don't look like they're 'blacklight' pets, as the colors would be more glow-y), and, as mentioned, people with overlays very similar to this are not going to be happy, as they probably won't get to use them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Cool! But darn you at the same time. STOP MAKING ME WANT THINGS, geez.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

o.o Wow. You could say it was just a cheap adjustment with the spectrum potion, but there is a certain charm about this color. I don't know why, but there is. The Keeto looks cool. But I almost wish there was more splashes of color for some of the others. But I guess that's up to the artists and overlay-ers to improve upon that one. It's a nice change of pace anyway.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Personally? Not my cup o' tea. Then again spectrum never was my favorite either, but I'm sure this will appease a LOT of Subetans even if it doesn't do it for me. Sooooo, yay for other people?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What's wrong with pretty recolours? If they're pretty then all is well.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

FINALLY WE CAN GET RID OF THE STUPID RAVE PETS SUGGESTION THREAD LOLOL

RAVERS WON > whoo

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm a bit torn on this one, it's a neat idea, but Cash Shop? Ah well, most people love this and it -is- just 5 bucks.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Very pretty, but a bit unoriginal in my opinion. Maybe they should have had new poses. shrugs

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Even though these are basically recolours, I like them a lot better than the pure white spectrum pets for sure; Nice choice, artists.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Good thing I just got CSC!! -buys one- AHAHAH!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, just wow!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i just peed a little

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is friggin awesome.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your pet has changed into a Blacklight Bumbus!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I must say, I actually really like the Bovyne ♥

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, they're really nice! I love them!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

misrepresenting**

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

sfrggg, had to get one. Yay blacklight feli!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Soooo if we had overlays like this are they now considered illegal for "misprepresenting the pet"? :/ Don't get me wrong, these are gorgeous and I love them, but I don't know what to do with my old overlays.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

At first I thought, "Wow, that's really cool!" Then I read the comments on this, and realized that the overlay argument really DOES have a point. I like it, but they really SHOULD have different poses than the Spectrum pets, ESPECIALLY considering that they're cash shop. The real problem here is that you can't make overlays like this for your Spectrum pet anymore because then you'd be misrepresenting its color, which would be against the rules, so now anyone who already has a pet with an overlay like this has to pay a ton for the potion. Not cool. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

These are really nice! I don't think I'll be getting one, since I prefer white + rainbow over black + rainbow (probably 'cause I love lighter colors xD), but it's nice that we have the option now, and some of these are just gorgeous on so many levels. The cadogre, omg.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

These look amazing.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Their cute, but I'm not willing to spend real money on one =)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think when it comes to CSC we get a pretty good bang for our buck given I know a good many sites that cost more and offer less in terms of what they offer. I have overlays for most of my pets, it's not about the overlay, I could very easily do something very similar to this if I wanted, given I work with Digital Manipulation as an art form all the time.

I love the pose of most of the spectrum pets but if I can give a bit of extra money to site that has given a lot back to me over the years vs an overlay I could do for free, I'd much rather spend the cash, given for a chance I can.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

WIN! I love these~

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

it should be a genetech combination imo ^-^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

UH-MAZE-ING!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sometimes I wish overlays weren't even an options because in times like this instead of praising the new colour you get people yakking about overlays.

Anyhow, super new colour, it's pretty much an automatic fave in my book!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

OMG! They look like they have been attacked by glow sticks, I love them!! GLOW STICKS FTW!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Will the "Loyalty Potion Totem" work with this colour?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Awesome! =D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

My heart almost skipped a beat because I thought the spectrum pets had a revamp xD

I like the Keeto, Malticorn and Wyllop best

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I wish they would wear a Glowstick Â°3Â°

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

; it's not the fact that it's a pet, it's the fact that it's a cash shop pet. Something people will spend real money on. I couldn't care less if people get one of these, but there is hardly any effort or creativity in the pet. It's just a spectrum with the base color darkened and hardly worth it. Personally, I like the Archan, but only because it's a Spectrum Archan. It would have been a decent idea if they had been given their own poses for the cash. I mean, we're in the middle of a 'back to school' sale, so the cash shop prices are lower now, but this still isn't really worth the bang for your buck.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

...I think these are cool, but I wouldn't spend CSC for something I could just overlay myself. I would totally own one if I didn't have to pay CSC. They're very pretty though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm so happy! faints with joy

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm a bit confused why you'd pay over 500 CsC for a simple overlay edit that could/would cost less than a mill.

I guess I'm glad a lot of people are happy with them though, since in the end that's usually what matters most lol. Supply, Demand, etc, etc.
