i've been looking at this since it was released trying to figure out what i don't like about it, and yeah, it's the face. an otherwise pretty realistic insect sporting a pair of cartoon eyes with eyelids is really ... strange. the art isn't badly done, it just feels like a poor design choice. it's especially disappointing considering it's modeled after an orchid mantis, which is one of my favorite insects. it'd have been way neater if its eyes looked like an actual orchid mantis' eyes. i mean.. look at this precious face and weirdo eyes http://www.sciencefriday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/12089785554_83d160bcbc_o.jpg we could have had it all
I agree that the Mahars don't get enough attention. I've had a reborn potion in my vault for years waiting for a reborn Mahar but every fireside it never appears. :(
For some reason it reminds me Lady Gaga lol
yeah, i figured it was something like that. i'm not super bothered by it, but every survival i think 'will this be the year we get a sweetheart mahar' and, well... you know...
AWWWWWWWWWWW!
lol too bad trying to scoop this thing up in your hand would be like trying to scoop up a really big lobster xP a biiiig sassy lobster
The Mahar artist is still on staff, it's Bean, and they're most likely working on other things than pets.
What a cute! I love it
Sweetheart hexapod kitten <3
Yes, you're right! It's just the cutest, I've googled it and awwww <3
I really like how subtle this one is...
i never say anything on these posts because i never want to be that person who's like "where's this pet, where's that pet" but man.... i have been waiting for the sweetheart mahar since this color was released. is there a reason there hasn't been one yet? i'm not trying to sound ungrateful here. the zasaba is great and i love his face. i just genuinely want to know what's up with the mahar's status. does it need a new artist or something?
omg ;v;
I was hoping the artists could have gotten a little more creative if the wings were open, but this is still very nicely done :)
Oh my goodness, it's so cute.
And another year without Sweethear Darkonite :( :(
Very nice, I appreciate it looking more like an orchid mantis - and the eyes look generally mantisier than the regular Zasaba

I can't not imagine this little guy has a French accent.
He looks devious. x3
A blue square with a ? in it sounds like an awesome pet to me. Next experiment please!
Am I the only one who feels the eyes make it look angry?
It's not a ant it's a Orchid Mantis
So fabulous
Yeah, I know what they were going for, but I just don't think it was executed super well. I find the proportions/perspective to be off somehow. Still, glad someone else likes it!!
I'd love to see what it looks like, but all that's showing is a blue square with a ? in it
Its face is different because it's based off of an Orchid Mantis instead of a standard Praying Mantis. Their heads and overall shape are very different to help with their camouflage.
I do think the shading is a touch flat in a couple of areas, but I personally love the design choice of this pet! I'm probably a little biased since they're some of my favorite insects anyway, but I was hoping to eventually make a character design based off an Orchid Mantis so I'm thrilled that I'll have the perfect pet to represent that now.
Er....I really want to like this, but it looks like it's stick between a blur animation ): What a strange pose/decision to change the face shape
ok. where is my zentu though? pweeze?
Waiting to see what Sweetheart Zentu looks like, too! Mostly waiting on Chibi, though
is she real
it's kinda of cute!! not many pink bugs around here...
ASFKSJFHD FLOWER MANTIS I NEED THIS IMMEDIATLY
I WAS GONNA MAKE A SWEETHEART AEANOID BUT NOW I'M CONFLICTED
-SOBS-
I think I'm the only one that finds the pose kind of awkward, but still cute
i'm not sure if anyone else will agree, but he reminds me of the duke from moulin rouge! with that cute moustache! i also love his heart shoulders~
Beautiful! I love the pose and the eyes.
They made it's eyes slanted like a real life orchid mantid. That's cool.
INCOHERENT SOBBING I LOVE THIS SO MUCH,,, I'M YELLIN
I was never really into bugs, but I just LOVE this babe ant, look at those little paws THE PAWS SHAPPED LIKE A HEART!
it doesn't suit him as well as sun but i made my zasaba sweetheart because it just had to be done, man. IT JUST HAD TO BE DONE!!
Still not fond of bugs T-T not even when pink... I do love the work on this little guy/girl, it is lively and has attitude.
A+, beautiful, perfect, wonderful, must have, gorgeous, I love it
I love this pet so much. The flow of it is amazing, I find my eyes just circling around the canvas and wanting to scoop this guy up into my hand!
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME
If the word "sass" was a Subeta pet, this would be it.
How much sass can one insect have? ❤
Lovely!
Cute but still waiting on that sweetheart Zentu taps fingers impatiently
I was't too sure at first impressions but this colour on the zasaba is great! I'm glad it doesn't have too much of those weird blue eyes that most sweetheart pets have and it works. Its head does remind me of the Pink Panther though.
