The Malticorn is now ready to face the world with a snappy new look! It is also available in Marsh.

Hmm, that's curious. I wonder where Nuclear's gone. You haven't seen a florescent green horned creature wandering about, have you? I'll have to ask [Ian Asmodeus]...

Heh, I love how you presume to know me and my intentions.

All I do is state my opinions based on what I see and what info/knowledge I do have - the same thing hundreds of others do on revamp posts. If you perceive that as me thinking I know everything, that's not really my problem. Using what you know and thinking you know everything are two very different things.

I don't know, the person I was actually speaking to in the first place didn't seem to have any problem comprehending my wording. And she didn't even have to twist it out of shape and try to tell me (wrongly) what my own point was.

And if "common sense, get some" is only an insult if I perceive it that way, then I must have been brought up with very different ideas of what's an insult and what's not. If I said that to a staffer, odds are I'd get a warning. Or maybe all this time I've been too nice...

The face, ears, and hair are much better than in the polled version. And all the colors are really pretty. Nice and bold. This revamp is really starting to grow on me, though I still worry about how GY is going to turn out.

Excuse me, Jessyta, but I was addressing Luxe's comment that there "wasn't much controversy" on this revamp. My point was that there was controversy all over the news post. Also, numbers do matter more than opinions; she made that quite clear in her reply. But I'm not going to repeat myself on that point again.

Ugh, I'm really getting sick of these ignorant comments. :| People saying that they hate the revamps and what not. Saying that the staff doesn't care much anymore. 1: The artists work VERY hard on these revamps. If you don't like it, that's your opinion, but don't say that is HORRIBLE. That is utter rudeness to the artist and is not called for. 2: Again, insulting the staff is REALLY rude. Of course they care, why would they make polls in the first place if they didn't? If the people of Subeta didn't vote in the polls ^while they were here^, they probably didn't care what happened to the Malticorn. If they did, and still didn't vote, they have no right to complain since they chose not to contribute to the voting.

Simple as that. Hope you have a nice day. ;D

It's been brought up before, and while we are sorry you do not like your revamp, Subeta will never give you the option to revert to old art. It would defeat the purpose of revamping it in the first place. You are, however allowed to use CSS to place a custom image on your pet's page.

Argh, I really am not liking the new revamps. And I'm kinda angry, because I liked my Ontra and my Malticorn, the way they were. Maybe there could be an option on the pet's page or something that you can choose that has the new version or the old version. Because I'm really dissapointed with the new revamps.

The art is such a better quality on this one. I prefer the smoothness of the lines.

I'm not very happy with the head as it looks a lot like a cross between a ruffie and a sheeta but, overall, a definate improvement.

I agree it should have gotten a second poll (the feli got 3, the Ruffie, ontra and anyu got 2)since the first one got discarded, 275 comments on the news post tells a lot (since you mentioned numbers...). And I feel this was kind of rushed, it's been 4 days since the poll was released. They say that you should always leave your drawings resting for a while, if not, you'll be blinded by the work you put and the feelings, and you wont see things that are obvious to other people. Only after that rest you'll be able to recive constructive crits with an open mind and actually use them.

Also, I'm sure I wasn't the only one that voted "New": Not because of the art itself, but because it needed a revamp. The amount of votes isn't that much (roughly 5000 hundred)*, whatever happened to the 115,000 that didn't vote?

Though I get the nasty feeling the original desing was disrespected, and so, the users that had adopted one. The art is good, I must admit it, but the overall desing bothers me. It looks like a completely different creature. What happened to the cascading fur the widened at the hooves, to the curly chest fur, the perky ears and the shiny ,wild hair? Not to mention the personality that streamed from those bright eyes, the proud stand or the tail held up high?**


  • at the time I wrote this, subeta had 121483 users, only 5039 users voted on the poll, which was only 4 days open. That is, the 3835 that voted "New", AREN'T the majority. We shall never know what the other ~96% of the subeta users thought

I don't personally enjoy this Malticorn, however, I do like it more than the previous one.

I never really did like the Malti, though. I bet that's why.

But yeah. This is a really nice change, and I for one like it.

Honestly, I don't see why everyone is complaining. It looks great, and there are things that I could point out that I don't like about it, but that's me.

I'm not the majority, I'm one person. When the admins want my opinion on something, they'll ask. Till then, I should keep my complaints about it to myself.

Point being, I'm a giant hypocrite with this entire post. o__o;

So angelembryo, are you saying that just because someone doesn't do a great job articulating WHY they like a revamp, they must not have very good reasons for liking it? Maybe they like the revamp exactly the way it is and would be disappointed if it was changed.

Personally, I'm with Luxe on this one: The revamp had way more votes, and pleasing the majority of it's users is all Subeta can hope to do - you can't please everyone.

We have no choice but to then acknowledge that this malticorn earned 3 out of every 4 votes, make the changes we see requested most often, and hope for the best. Some people like the spots; some don't. Some people like the hair and horn; others won't. In the end, yes, we have to go with the majority, even if the minority are more vocal.

I do agree with the view that if users like mediocrity, they'll love excellence. I push for that all the time from within staff's four walls. You make some valid points. I just think that unless you've been in this position of trying to please as many people as possible, you might not necessarily appreciate that eventually you have to draw the line.

For those of you who are worried, I encourage you to take a look at the recent revamp of the ontra and keeto special colors. If the pet's recolors can be aligned to a species redraw, we certain can, have, and will do what we can to match it.

I'm kind of glad I didn't own a Malti. =/ The coloring and shading on the new one is absolutely brilliant, but it really does just look like a ruffie with horns and hooves to me. -shrug-

It's definitely an improvement from the poll version, however. ^^' Props for taking all the suggestions that were mentioned.

No controversy? I suppose the hundreds of news comments and forum posts mean nothing and the only thing that matters is the numbers on the poll count? Personally I'd rather listen to the few hundred people who have valid critiques and solid suggestions on making the art better, than the thousand who say little more than "it's sooooo kyooooot i love it!!!!!". Because, after all, if they like one proposed revamp so much, who's to say they won't like one that's stepped up even more? But true to my suspicions, I guess quantity means more than quality here after all.

And if re-polling gets tiring - does that mean making sure Subeta has the best art quality it can possibly have is tiring? In which case I exponentially fear the direction in which this site is headed.

Oh well... guess the numbers have spoken.

I also just realized the GY Sheeta is missing half of it's face. I hope the new GY malti does not resemble the Sheeta in that manner. The GY Malti is my fave pet, tied with the DM hikei. I love mine, and do not want to change her.

I actually really like this revamp, though I'm worried about how the redraws (special colors) will be revamped... I know the Graveyard Malti will be gory and gross, and I've never made my disdain for the newer Graveyard style a secret, and the old GY Malti is really one of my favorites... I also intend to own a RB Malticorn eventually, so I am a bit worried how you'll make that one look, too. (Not to mention the Reborn Malti is a pretty popular pet, isn't it? I can't be the only person concerned about that here.) The Bloodred and Dark Matter... Never was a fan of those two, so do what you want with them. Though I am interested in seeing how the BR Malti will be after a revamp... Will it be bloody, but somehow look innocent like the BR Demi to match the innocence of other Malti colors, or will it be more sinister like other BR pets to give the Malti more variety? And honestly I don't like the current Angelic Malti, so go ahead and revamp that one. Though I am pretty irked at the lack of Nuclear...

IceMistress: Here is a quote from the artist earlier in the comments:

"Whilst Graveyard is getting revamped, I'm trying to keep the facial expression/pose the same, and I'm not adding blood or guts anywhere I might have done had it not already existed, but as it is, it'll be similar to the GY sheeta in demeanor! "

In other words, it most likely will NOT be all gory and stuff.
