I feel very mixed about the revamps.

The new wears are super & the revamp wears, excluding the Shinwas Staff which I feel should have complete wings especially with the angle it is at.

I preferred the old Shinwas Healing Wine, I like the colour of the stopper more and the subtler ribbing. Also liked the old Shinwas Flute. The new one is super but I wish it had been a different item so we could have kept the old one too.

Thank you for collecting these, lull!

I love the new backgrounds (and especially LOVE the Shinwas Sealed Scroll of Dark Magic wearable art).

A little bummed about Shinwas Lightblade, as it looks slightly crooked for what is such a sleek and sharp CI.

For the most part I really like all the revamps, and the look of the newly wearable things. But seconding Chocolate's feelings on the lightblade. That curve is throwing me, no pun intended.

Thanks for compiling the comparisons! The blessed water background is STUNNING and will be so fun to play with despite being outside my usual avatar color scheme comfort zone. I also really appreciate the decision to turn the water, flute, mirror, and wine into unique backgrounds instead of 1:1 handheld recreations!

I'm overall happy with the icon revamps, I like how true to the originals most of them are. I do agree with you on the color of the wine stopper, though. It's a minor detail but I'm not sure why it needed to be darkened. The perspective of the staff icon is odd too. I can't unsee it as some sort of winged creature raising its' wings, which is charming in its own right but makes the staff feel bendy compared to the original.

The helmet lost a lot of the features that made it interesting imo (the silhouette, framing of the face, prominence of the top ridge, wing size/shape). However, it's not a wearable I've ever seen worn or plan to wear myself so I don't think it's worth the effort of re-revamping.

Everything else looks great, though!

sell me a really old tail?

I think all the revamps look great and I'm happy that the helmet is actually usable now! (Although I wish I could get a version without the wings...)

I thought maybe I was imagining the curvature of the lightblade haha, glad it's not just me but it doesn't really bother me too much.

Revamps of old wearables always make me happy because my wardrobe is full of stuff that I wish I could use but the art is just too old and doesn't look right anymore, especially next to newer items.

I like all the revamps! I love Shinwa's colours. But admittedly, I did think you had mixed up the healing wine icons at first. Nope. :') The actual avatar art looks great for all of them.

Are the blessed water, crystal pendant, and lightblade supposed to look the same as before? Other than the added overlays I'm not seeing any difference for those items.

Those items were not updated; just overlays were added to them since they didn't have them before.
