Hmm...I like the redraw but it irks me that it has no ears. xD Without them the fur on it's head looks really odd.

I've been peeking in and out on the coemments made about the otter.. and OMG!
Some of the things I've seen that has been complained about it beyond me, soon I'll probably read "The otter doesn't have a fish tale, that doesn't seem realistic to me"
It's a fantasy creature dang dilly! If it had a arm sticking out of it's head, I'd understand the reaction, I don't want to be rude but come on people! If you don't like it, adopt another pet, theres more then enough to pick from EVEN though you've already have one and don't like the redraw! X.X

First off, I must say that the new art on this otter is just gorgeous; it's definitely better than the old one. I do, however, have some critique on anatomy though. As quite a few others have already mentioned, the tail doesn't look like it connects with the body very well. It also looks a bit too long and thin to be of much use to the otter. Maybe a different perspective on the fin might also help? Asides from the tail... I think the front arm could use a little work and the forehead could probably be shrunk down a bit. All that said, I love the addition of the extra spots and those eyes are absolutely stunning. :3

the new version of the otter isn't really the same old Cute Otter as the older one... I got my otter because of the old style and I'd Like to keep it that way really, the new one looks more doglike with that nose and it looks far more longer and the tail is skinnier, to me it's turning into a dog rather than An Otter, the spots is nice though but the front paws seem a bit weird and the fluff.. down there isn't really.... drawing away the attention from it and so On... that's why I vioted for the old Otter Hoping That I can stay An Otter fan.. and Not an Ontra fan

I'm definitely getting an Otter if they get this revamp. 8D The only things that don't look right are the shape of the father back leg, perhaps the back of the thigh could be a little... meatier. (xD) And the tail placement doesn't look quite right... but I love the eyes, and the snout... 'tis so cute!! *adoringstare*

I preferred the pose of the old one. I know this new pose is very similar, but I like how bunched up the old one is. The way his little pudgy arms are right under his little chin. Aaawww! I'm also not a fan of the fur at the base of the left hind leg. It looks a bit out of place and draws attention to... um... that general area. **quickly changes the subject** As for the chest fluff, I'm not that fond of this double row thing. Still, other than those trifling concerns, I think it's pretty awesome. I, for one, welcome the new spots. They make the otter more interesting, they give them a little more style. The head looks great to me, the shading is nice, the fur on the tail flows better... thumbs up and a cheesy grin from me!

Ah, the otter. Good times, goood times...

Anyway the anatomy looks really wonky to me in some places especially around the shoulders and on all the limbs. It could use alot of redlining. I'd give all the critiques I could see but last time I did that I was shunned for it so I won't bother this time x3 It's certainly an improvement from the old one and is pretty cute, but I think there are parts that could be improved, and removed(random spots, wtf?) and I hope that is done before it is updated :3 Overall, good job arteest who drew it~ ♥

looks quite good, but there is something in the face i don't like... it's the shape of the face, i think. and the eyes. most of the revamped pets look at the upper left/right corner of the picture :/ that just looks strange...why isn't it looking at the owner? it just looks so wannabe-cute when they look up like that. and the connection of the body and the tale doesnt' seem to be correct, like someone took a tailless otter, a fake otter tail and glue <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/smiley_xface.gif border=0> as if it's not a part of the otter

My comment about only artists being able to comment about art was directed at... um, whoever it was that laughed that so many people thought they could criticize when they aren't even artists. I can't remember who, but it's dumb logic. While we're at it, how about none of us watches and enjoys or dis-enjoys a movie because none of us are directors? Haha!

As for my pedophile comment, I went into a longer post that was constructive but it got pushed out by the other comments so I truncated it the second time. But to put it politely: "I do not care for this new Otter, my good sirs and ma'ams, as its spots make it seem as though it has a disease, and also its face makes it look like a creepy old man who is sexually interested in children. Forthwith."

Ok that was just plain rude...

Anyways, When drawing the new otter i tried to keep it like the old otter, with the pudgy belly and the fluffy tail. I drew this re vamp before the galactic otter so the galactic looks some what improved xD
Um the spots i added were to give the otter a more interesting look because seriously he used to be just boring...
I agree that tail does need a little tweeking but it was.. i dunno difficult
Thanks for all your input guys, especially yo thoughs who do like it o3o

I think It's because of the Galactic Otter. I mean, think about it. The Dragon, for example. When I saw the Galactic Dragon, I just knew right away that it was going to be revamped, because the Galactic color was way more advanced than the common colors so they had to revamp it. I think each time a new color for a pet gets released, it is just so much better than the common colors that they have to revamp the pet itself. I agree with Ariel about the face being too low, though. And I don't really know about the spots, it just doesn't look right. I am enjoying Subeta's new style of art. I did enjoy the old pets but the new pets have better shading, expressions, and other details. Kudos to all of the wonderful artists who strive to create wonderful pets & colors that will dazzle the heart & soul! ;D

I love the coloring in this particular revamp, its nice and smooth, with a nice warm and rich feel to it. But I do find that I like some of the charm of the original better, I find that the muzzle is to narrow for this particular animal, along with the forehead being a bit to tall and the tail is a bit to thin. I think the pose is nice but I miss the smooth more circular composition of the original otter, and maybe it is because the tail loops through the otter's legs instead of behind them which would give a bit more depth to the pose. I must say that I do adore the revamps eyes and the addition to other spots upon the body.

I think everything is beautiful except for the tail.
It's too skinny for an animal that has a large fine on it like that. I think if the tail were a little thicker and the fin had a little perspective [like turned away from the viewer] it would improve the flow of motion greatly.
I've always thought otters where a little cute, I've just never really fell in love with any of the colors.

I do like the effort that's gone into this revamp, but the new piece of art lost the nice "flow" of the older one. I think if the body (and tail) made more a circle than they do now, that would help a lot--it's difficult to describe exactly what I'm seeing without being able to redline it, and I'm not sure if the artists want me doing that, but. I think the back needs to be more curved, and the tail definitely more curved (and a larger fin would help, too) so that there's more of the "looped" feeling there is in the current art. Hopefully that makes some kind of sense. XD

This revamp is the first one I haven't liked. I, too, feel the forehead looks a bit large, and I don't think it's as cute as the otter. Ah, well. I don't have an otter, so I suppose the outcome doesn't affect me. It's just a pity; the current otter is adorable.

Very nice and much better than the last one... But does anyone else think it looks a little disproportioned? A little 2D in the legs? I agree with Sunnie.. The quality is better, but the lining itself doesn't show that. I really like what's happening to the Otter, I just think it can be portrayed better. Hope you took that as constructively as I meant it. ='p

Why does that otter have a weird tuff of fur by its back leg? it looks odd.

DesetLai, we're allowed to be picky if our pets which we put a lot of time and sP into are going to be changed into something we don't want. i've already had to give up one pet because the redraw was just awful for me, i don't want to loose my Spectrum Otter as well.

Frost

DesertLai, sweetheart. You missed a few things. They leave the comments here open to get constructive criticism on the revamp itself. I don't know why in all the world you are so against it, but the artists here want to hear our opinions before revamping a pet. I think it's good, because sometimes, the artist cannot see that he/she made a smaller mistake on their work unless someone kindly points it out. Then, the artist can decide whether he/she wants to fix the small flaw, or keep it the way it is. We do not force the artist to do this or that. At least I believe that the majority refrains from that. The artist decides on her/his own what they want to do with the image in accord to the feedback received.
<br />
There's really no reason to force your own opinion onto people here. Some are fond of the revamp, others think it needs a few tweaks. Everyone has the right to speak up about it. If you think that it is insulting that someone offers constructive criticism to someone's work which will be viewed and admired by hundreds of users on this site, then I do not know how you handle constructive criticism on your own works, since it was stated that you are, also, an artist.
<br /> And unless you want people to turn bitter toward you, it might be a good idea to pick your words a bit more carefully. I doubt that anyone here is artistically blind, as you stated it. I do believe that the revamp could be even more amazing if some minor things were changed/edited about it.
<p>
And those who say 'it's ugly' or 'I hate it' can't expect the pet to magically turn for the better because they have not stated why they dislike the pet. Artists are not psychic.</p>

Well, 'are you guys artistically blind' wasn't very direct. It is a general statement, and you tecnically do not have to be an artist to know when things are off. Many art crittics are not artists themselves. If this site catered to only artists, more than half the population would disappear, despite them knowing a thing or two about what art is about.

Amazing. A revamp I actually really like. The only criticism that I've seen that seems like a big deal to me is how "cramped" it looks, and the expression on the old one was less generic.

I know it's probably not the look you're going for, but you guys should have an artist with a less "cutesy" style that draws some pets. I'd volunteer, but I work by mouse currently.

I like this one a lot better. I just think (on both versions, actually) that the face is a little too far down on the head.

User not found:

As an art piece, I think it's wonderful. The shading is done well, the expression is nice, the proportions seem correct, and the colors are vivid and pretty. However, as an otter redraw, I'm not too fond of it. The redraw doesn't quite capture the otters innocent confused look, nor does it look as cuddly as I feel it should. The tail has lost that kind of big, squishy vibe. There's also something about the spots that just isn't working for me. (I do love the new Galactic Otter, though. I'm still sad I missed it.)

Omg people, I didnt say that someone specifically was- what I was saying is that I dont see why everyone has to pick the thing apart with what they think is right!

AND I never said they were blind because I liked it- I am saying I dont understand the art points they are pointing out- Like I DO see a shoulder on it. Thats what I meant.

DesetLai, just because everyone doesn't agree with you does not mean we are artistically BLIND. r_r'; Not everyone has the same opinions, and the better part of us are trying to help out and put in our own opinions. I may not put my work in the glitchy galleries, but I know enough about artwork to say that the artist here has potential to make this a good revamp, BUT has major flaws that need to be worked out before this could happen.
That comment about the ones who aren't hopping the a-train over the colouring is rather insulting to some of us who know what they are talking about.

DesetLai, I don't see how it's constructive to tell people they are artistically blind because they don't share the same opinion as you.

Do not call people artistically blind. Just because you like it because it's updated and pretty, does not mean everyone else is 'blind'. The fact you like it is your opinion. Many of us have given constructive criticism as to why we don't like it as much as you do. I don't care who is or who is not an artist, everyone needs criticism to improve. Plus we're given the option to voice our opinions, and for that I am grateful.

DesetLai - An artistically blind person would actually just pay attention to the pretty coloring and shading and not notice any of the flaws at all ;P I worked at Subeta for over a year, which really helped me point out the good and the bad in a revamp instead of go "OMG PRETTY" at the first sight of one.

Another point I'd like to add - I seem to get the vibe from it that since people were so in awe about the Galactic Otter, that you guys decided to rush a revamp of it with the same characteristics. It has the cheek-fluff and some spots from the Galactic, but it doesnt look like it was critiqued properly looking at the shape of the head and the tail and such. <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/smiley_xface.gif border=0>

(I think that's what you were getting at, hun) the arm is just one uniform thickness from elbow to paw tips... taper a little and give it a little bit of a wrist bend? Amend: It's actually thinner at the elbow than the wrist-like area. use shading to make it set back, not back wards tapering. Even Popeye had muscles below his elbows!

Apostate_491

I didn't even notice some of these things earlier, but they've already mostly been pointed out. I think the forehead does look as if it needs to be a bit smaller, or the eyes, perhaps, a little bit bigger. While I think the eyes look fine as they are, I think what PaintedSavages mentioned would give it that cutesy look that several users are so fond of.

The...umm...cheek fluff, I guess you could call it, that is facing the user seems to be a bit too high on the head, compared to the farside one.

The tail, I think, should be more like the old Otter's. The shading gives that 3D illusion, and it looks less stiff compared to this one, which makes it look as though the Ontra is wearing a fake tail. o0

As far as the arm goes, maybe make the line where the 'elbow' is a tad shorter or make it bend its paw? Kinda like how a dog has its front legs when its begging, for lack of a better visual. T_T

Just some probably useless tips. <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_whatthe.gif border=0> I just can't stand it when people say they don't like it just because it's not the same. DX I actually think it's a very nice improvement. The art is beautiful and well done. Good job to the artist(s). Keep up the good work. ^^

Maybe if you made the body a little smaller (okay, a lot) smoothed out the tail and fur, then redid the eyes (spectrum's is a good one) removed the eyebrows, resized the freckles (basically, chibi-ify it again) I'd be content.

I honestly would be very dissapointed if my otter was replaced by this new version- i just dislike it. Its much to.. pointy. i feel like it's not as cute nor as soft and smooth as the old version. i really would like to see this re-vamp redone to be made more like the roundness of the old otter. I don't like how this one has so much fuzz bits either- it just looks to pointy and sharp in my opinion.

Kestrel

Usually I vote new for revamps, but something about this just.. bothers me. : / I have some issues with the anatomy, but people have already covered them and the body doesn't bother me as much as the face- it went from look almost infantlike to looking like an old man. o__O; I like the eyes and smile though.
Personally, I prefer the muzzle for this species to look like the kind that Alexander and the Darkmatter one have.. This one just seems too pronounced and makes it look like a type of rodent. Also, I'm not quite sure why it would have eyebrows or a shiny head. o.O;; The tail I can understand, but the head shine makes it look bald. ^^;;

I love this new revamp. The current otter look is just so outdated. I think the artists did a wonderful job on this. It looks so much more cute and cuddly. :3

I would rather own this as my pet than the new one, but I really don't think the otter needs to be revamped, or have it's name changed. What is the point of changing something that's already awesome as it is? If it's going to be revamped either way, i'd say make them in the pose of the galactic, or to look a bit like the elixirs cuz the elixir is CUTE. XD

I voted for the old Otter (Ottra?) because there are a few things I don't like about the new one. <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0> Although, I love the fuzzies on the new one and of course, the nicer details to the face, there are alot of things wrong with it as well.<p>

Main thing is, the new one's body looks a bit umm... stiffer than the old one. The new one doesn't look like it could turn on a dime in the water like the old one could. (It also doesn't look very comfortable in that tiny space. ^^; )<p>

The eyes could be a little more cuter and the tail maybe a little bigger? Also, someone pointed out that the chest fluffs look like breasts. ^^; Heh... heh...</p></p>

I appreciate that the artist is trying to get away from the heart-shaped typical boosum puff, but this isnt it, sadly. Inner thigh fluff, a little too...long? maybe more of just a hint rather than all-out wavey-in-the-water fur? As far as the freckles - which is how I shall refer to them - they /are/ wrong, but I cannot say why. Theyre just...off. Yanno? As far as eyes, perhaps make the blue part larger in the white field and add more shine to get it closer to the old otters personallity look? Also eyebrows a little lower to bring down the brow some? They kinda seem to float off toward the middle of his cranium rather than being eyebrows. I understand you were trying to brighten and open the face up some by raising them but maybe dropping them down some and enlarging the eye size itself as well as my afore mentioned blue on white comment may help get it more open. Lastly concerning eyes and Im done... try making the lines around the outside of the eye itself twice as thick. Instead of it being the same uniform thickness as the body lines. I find when Im drawing to make the eye lines a little thicker than the rest of the lines and it really makes a HUGE difference and draws the eye (of the looker not the drawing) to it.

I don't like the new one either. The old one makes me say 'Aww, how cute' while this new one doesn't. I do agree the tail is too thin. Looks more like a reg (dog?) tail with a flipper stuck on the end of it. A revamp is good, but this one doesn't seem quite it.

I admit this revamp is a bit drastic...and I do think it's eyes are a bit to small...and to me the forehead looks a bit big too...but the revamp does make it fit more into the subeta art style. All in all, it's a cute drawing, and even if I voted new I'd still like to see it drawn a bit better...it doesn't really have the old Otter "spirit" like the other one has.

Edward

The crotch fluff makes you focus on the... crotchly area... I dont like that much. The chest fur should be a little softer, and the tail looks like its stuck on, just like the old otter. I think the tail should be an extenstion of the back line, and the tail curl up that way. Cause the tail is a part of the spine, and I dont think it makes a ninty degree ange and pops off the back.

I wasn't saying not to draw from real influence, obviously it has to come from somewhere. I was making that remark to someone who said something along the lines of "real otters don't have muzzles like that." Real otters also don't have tail flukes, real hippos don't have wings. They can be taken from other sources but all I'm saying is that the otter isn't supposed to be a 100% real-life otter so it having a more feline mouth isn't a crime against nature <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif border=0>

Guys, guys, try not to be so harsh with your comments. Saying things like 'gross' and whatnot is not constructive critism <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0>

<p>Okay, here's my take on it. Art wise? Huge improvement. Otter wise? It has lost a lot of it's personality. It doesn't have that cute, confused face anymore. Now it simply has a generic 'Hi I'm a pet :3 Adopt me' look. It wouldn't stand out too much. Take the antlephore for example. If it was given a normal deer face, it would be boring.

<p>Anatomy wise, it looks okay, but there are a few points that bug me. (and for those of you saying not to base it on real life animals, please just stop XP You need to base it on some kind of anatomy. And this obviously has the anatomy of cartoony otter. You cannot ignore that.) Anyway, the anatomy on the front arm looks severely off to me. I can't quite place my finger on it. I think, given the position, the arm would be pulled up a bit more. The fluff along the end of the tummy is really distracting for me, as well as the second tuft of fur along it's chest.

<p>Something about the body going into it's tail base feels very stiff for some reason. And personally I'd like the spots on it to differ a little bit in size around the tail <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif border=0> It feels a bit cluttered...overall I love the new art, but there's a lot of problems I have with it. The galatic is beautiful and I'm sad I missed it <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0></p></p></p>

This revamp seems to have lost all the characteristics of the otter - the big, innocent eyes, the little chubby body, the begging-paws pose... its just... not an otter. Quality-wise it's an improvement, but not for the pet itself. The size of the head got me too when I first saw it - the old one had a big head, but the rest of it was big and chubby so it looked more like it made sense. The tail is also too small and skinny - how is it gonna propel that big-headed otter through the water? The old one had a gigantic tail which looked like it could actually move the otter. Plus otters dont have dog muzzles - it just looks silly with one.
I'm sorry I didn't really say any positive points about the revamp, but I don't like it AT ALL, so I really don't see any. <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/smiley_xface.gif border=0>

Yay! pet with furry boobies and a furry crotch! Ah the forehead could loose the little rise it has, make it slightly smaller and rounder. I don't mind seeing the feet.

Although removing the eyebrows would make it cuter.

Lift those whiskers a bit; the otter, pardon, otra, is smilling-those whiskers should add to the smile.

Love the new coloring btw.

I don't like this revamp very much. The old one looked more furry, and had those big melt-your-heart eyes. It also looked like it was begging for a treat with its paws up - aww!

The new one's tail is too small, and near the tip its too thin. The tail is also flat-looking - the old one appears to have better shading. There are a few too many spots, and it looks like there's a spotlight shining on its head. And the very male eyebrows, crotch fluff, and boob-fluff are awful. I miss the bottom of its foot being visible too, that was very cute.

<img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/Lorcanwolf/otter_galactic.gif" border="0">

Why couldn't the new Otter look more like the Galactic one? That seems to be the trend in revamping, anyway. The Galactic's eyes are better shaped, and it looks nicely furry. And its showing the cute little otter-paddy-paws!

Ooh, it's pretty! *o* I have a DM Otter and love it though, so don't change him. My only complaint is the little mini fur-boobies and that the inside of the elbow looks off. And please don't change the name k? Otra sounds so... different. It's one thing with Kanis and Canis, but it's quite another to scramble the name *that* much! Maybe Ottur? Ottre? I dunno.

i don't like the upper body shape, the way the back gets sorta flat and it makes it's upper arm seem really really long. the head/face are all wrong for me, way too big and it has completely lost it's "cute" feel. also the back legs just seem... awkward and too long.
0

SilvyrWing

Just to add for people saying the tail looks 'stiff.' Tails are stiff. They have bones, they don't just flop in any direction. So that this one isn't curly and curvey or anything really makes it look nice. Hopefully it remains this way.

That 'revamp' is pretty, but I think it's still need a bit of work on few area to make the anatomy better, but in general I prefer the new one then the old one... I think just working around the shoulder and maybe the head a bit less fluffy... still pretty !

The shoulder/head area is cramped and awkward looking, like it's perpetually smashing it's head down. Also, the arm is a little too pudgy and round and the spots are pretty dark.

Also, the tufts of fur on the chest are too poofy...

Ophelia_886

Overall, I'm for a revamp and I like the maintenance of the original pose; however, I think the revamp should be improved before being set 'out into the world.' Mainly, the angle between the head and shoulder looks awkward, and the legs might look better if they were closer together so the two feet could touch - then there wouldn't be that awkward emptiness between them.

A lot of people are making references to real otters in their critiques - remember, they're subeta pets *not* real otters ^^ So it's okay if this one has a muzzle or wings or purple crab legs.

Also, the tufts of hair on its chest should be toned down a little.

Other than those things, I think it looks a lot more innocent. The older one looks like it witnessed a murder. And what IS with the name Ontra? No offense at all to whoever thought it up, but it sounds like a car name.

Much love to the otters!

Hmmm....When I look at this pic, it sorta looks as if it's proportions are off, or it could just be the way it's positioned.

I think that if you guys kept the old pose, but revamped the style to make it 'updated', that would be good because the older one looks cuter. I think this new one took away the cute charm.

Oh yeah, another suggestion is tilting this art to make the otter on it's back and redrawing it's tail to make the entire image symmetrical.

Eh...it's face can be changed to look a tad cuter too.... <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy_sweatdrop.gif border=0>

Cie

It looks very nice, however the end of its tail seems to be stiff, unlike the old one. Also, otters really don't have that kind of muzzle/facial structure. Just take a look by googling "otter". The two tufts of fur at the top of the chest also seem a bit, urr, odd. It's probably look nicer with one small (or large) chest tuft. I am certainly glad he is in a dynamic pose, though. Lots of the revamps have boring, stiff poses. D=

Morgenstern

I do love this revamp a lot better than the original. However there are a few little quirks I have. I think his tail looks a little too stiff, especially the flipper part. It needs to be a bit more fluid and flowy since he is a animal that enjoys the water. His spots are a little to dark and I don't think he really needs the eyebrows but I don't mind them either

<br /><br />
It's very well drawn, but it did sort of lose it's cute, curious otter look. xD Maybe since it has eyebrows now, (which I think are a nice touch; give em' more expression) you can use those to give it a more wondrous look. o:<br />
Lesse, oh! I wouldn't make em' quuiiite that furry. xD Try more slick, like an otter. (I would really just suggest you give em' less fur on its chest; it looks a tad much there) <br />
The feets are fine, I just wish ya would've had one sticking out so you could see it's pawpads like the old one. X3 But that ain't a big deal.<br />
I suggest making the fin at the end of its tail a bit bigger; I think it'd look a bit more appealing then.<br />
Oh and I wanna suggest something, (Only an idea, really) I see ya kept the whiskers, but maybe it'd look neat if you added some whiskers around his face. Like, near his eyes and around his cheeks a little. o: I think it'd make it look cute and appealing. (And since real otters have those whiskers all over their faces. xD) Just a thought while you're experimenting and patching things up. x3 <br />
I did vote new, simply because it IS better then the old, just make sure to fix some things up before it goes through. :3 <br /><br />
Hope that helped ya! ^^ (longest comment EVER. D8)

I don't like the new one. I never particularly liked the old one, as the tail seems unnaturally long and awkward... but this new one is worse. The extra spots on the face and body make it look like it has a disease. The coloring on the face is too detailed, (which I think is a problem with most of the revamps - having 6 different shades of shadowing instead of the simpleness they had before so now they look like they're trying TOO hard to be realistic).

This "Ontra" looks like the pedophile of the animal kingdom.

0

slick_990

While the art on this new Otter is a massive improvement, there are a few areas that I'm opposed to. It's head is much too large for the body. I think that if the eyebrows were to be moved downward (they seem too far away from the eyes), it would help drastically. I also miss the expression of surprise in the old otter - it was uniquue because of that. The hind leg facing us also confuses me a bit. The back of the foot is pointed, making it look almost triangular, and a bit like a duck foot. If this was intended, my apologies, but the other foot doesn't appear that way. The hind leg furthest away from us seems thinner than the other, and I think it would help if you made it's 'thigh' slightly larger. It's other hind leg is curved at the thigh, while the other one is much too pointed, almost, making it look thinner than it's other leg. Oh, and I'm loving the boobies. x] I say keep them.
But, like I mentioned earler, the art is a massive improvement, and kudos to the artist who drew it. Lovely work overall. I love the added furriness that the old otter didn't quite have.

The art is better on the new one, but there's just something off about it.

I like the head on the old version better. Plus the arms on the new one look wrong to me. The tail on the new one looks a bit too small as someone said earlier.

I also don't want the otter to lose the expression that the old one had. That expression helped me decide my otters' personality.

I hope either they keep the old one or at the very least keep the old expression. Normally I wouldn't care so much about the redraw, but this one will acutally affect one of my pets.

0

badger

I voted old. This new otter - although beautifully drawn I might add - really doesn't cut it for me. ^^; The paws look very strange, and almost as though the otter is holding them in an uncomfortable position, on the previous one they were more rested. The tail flippers are strangely small and not as 'flowing' as the previous/current otter. I've noticed that this new one doesn't look as...cuddly, as the the other one. The head in particular strikes me as slightly off - it's a little to large, especially at the top of the head where it appears to bulge out. I also miss the little shocked expression the otter has always had.

However, I can also see many improvements. The paws are much more beautiful than before, and the little tufts of fur on the chest are amazing. The eyes, also, look much better and more defined.

Having said that, I'd be sad if the new one went through. If a few changes could be made in reference to the things I pointed out earlier, I'd be much more happy for the otter to be replaced. But, as I said earlier, it's beautiful art - so well done to whoever drew it =)

I have a feeling no one is going to like my input no matter how well I say it so... I'm just gonna take a chance and make this as simple as possible.
<p>
In my opinion, this revamp needs a total revamp. Granted, this isn't one of species I care for but I just don't find it that appealing... at all. Allow me to list the reasons why.
<p>
It has lost all its cuteness.<br />
The eyes have lost that look of innosence.<br />
The spots, snout and eyebrows seem a bit... much.<br />
Its forehead is way too large and that shine makes it look bald.<br />
The lighter belly fur seems unnecessary and doesn't really tie in with the rest of it.<br />
The tuff of spiky fur on the belly, doesn't fit all that well and interrupts the smooth belly line.<br />
And that chest fur... XDDD My god. Guys, I'm so sorry but it really does look like a pair of Otter Breasts...
<p>
Only upsides I can find on this revamp is the updated shading and paws.
<p>
I apologize if this hurt the artist/art department feelings/artistic pride. DX It was not my intention.
<p>
Also, just one question. Why are you renaming the Otter, Ontra?</p></p></p></p></p>

Oh, I didn't even notice there was a name change, too. Yeah, I agree with a name change. Ontra is nice. Otter is too much...exactly the same as the, y'know, actual species xD

I like the spots under the eyes, but the ones on the arms look like age spots xD
<br /><br />
CombuskensFlame, who did the galactic otter and I assume this one as well, has a picture of the otter on her lookup that I think fits better :3 Though, not necessarily with the style of the rest of the pets :B
<br /><br />
All in all it's of course better than the old one, but I think it needs a little more of that charm that blew everyone away with the galactic otter. I believe in you! You can do it! xD

While I'm not crazy about the design on it's own, it's leagues better than the old one. And at the very least, go with the name change! 'Otter' is so dreadfully unoriginal.

....I really dislike it... o___O; As art it's fine but since it's an Otter and connected and a revamp and... sorry artists, I just really hate it. You could do better. ;__;

What made me really like the old otter was its 'roundness' and... those EYES! :O Though this one of course looks more professional with its colouring and whatnot... I really prefer the old one and hope it stays that way, or at least other revamps will be able to keep that look :/

Oh, and I think the number of spots on the arms and legs should be reduced a bit. Makes it look like it has the chicken pox to me. xP And the old otter didn't have them.

The otter needs a revamp, but like with the Tigrean, I don't think this is quite it. Something is better than nothing, though...

Serpent

Much better than the old one - the proportions are a lot better, as is the pose. The only improvement I can think of is to make the tail a little less stiff, and thicker at the end.
0

User not found:

I really like this new one in general, but I don't really like the muzzle. It seems to thin and reminds me of a dog. It just doesn't seem to fit the Otter. And the tufts of fur on the chest...One would be enough.
0

Dominic

I voted for the new one, but I'd like to see a few tweaks as well. ^^; The (otter's) left leg seems a bit slim in the thigh area compared to the right leg. Maybe it should be a bit more rounded? And the tail should probably be positioned more flat...ly? The new version makes it look like it has a fish tail instead of say... a dolphin tail. Like it's verical instead of horizontal. Other than that, lovely. <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif border=0> Great job, Rah. ^^

Nooo~! I love my otter TT Im not too happy with this revamp so far, the face needs some work, the pose looks uncomfy, tail is a bit thin... the way the front paws/arms are against his body looks awkward. the way the top part is angled looks awkward, or maybe thats just me. dont mean to be picky but Otters have always been my fave TT and i was always disappointed with the angelic revamp, hugehuge tail, didnt like the pose much there either. blah *hugs her otters to bits*

I like the new one, but I miss the big eyes in the old one. Please dont change the spectrum otters! TT^TT

Frost

Aw, this one's cute... I voted for the new version because of that adorable look and because it actually has a muzzle, but it could use a few smaller updates. Overall, it's a really good revamp image.
<p>
And now... <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif border=0> The things that no one really loves to read. The things that seem a bit off:
<br />- That upmost tuft of fur on it's head. It's... not exactly needed and it makes the Otter look slightly odd. The old one had the fur on the head 'slicked' backwards. And, as people stated before, it should lose the shinyness on it's head. ^^; It just looks... odd. Like the Otter is balding in that area and the skin is shiny.
<br />- The fur on it's chest. It looks... well... like it has female curves. It just needs to be toned down a bit. Keep the fluffy chest, just not that fluffy...
<br />- The far hind leg. It looks a bit too angular. Maybe it would be good if it was connecting to the body a bit higher up? I can edit the image if you'd like to see what I mean.
<br />- The tail. It seems a bit too thin when it goes up to the tailfin and it seems a bit too stiff. Maybe if it were curved a bit more and slightly thicker...?
<p>
Those are all I've managed to find. Again, very lovely image with adorable eyes. :3 Might I ask who's in charge of the revamp?</p></p>

Squishy

i'm voted also for the old version.. i think the older version has more character. Really, the new otter- great work! Its painted really exact and looks professional, but it lost a lot of his charme.. That head could also be a head of any doggything or whatever..=/.. sorry, i'm thinking of that galactic version with the old otter, its really lovely with that face.. would that also be changed?

i like the new ones body okay, but the old one's face is nicer.. i like the old better because of it.... the forehead's a bit large... maybe keep the old face but the new body?

TracyH

I voted new simply because the new artists need to be able to update new colors while keeping the pet consistant.
0

Jessi

This is a very hard decision, and I hope my feedback will help with it a lot. I voted for the old otter, despite the fact that this one's art is obviously newer, cleaner, and shinier. There are a lot of 'issues' that I think, if fixed, would make it look fabulous. The tufts of hair on the chest look terribly out of place - they make it look like it has really squashed boobs, heh. The way the fur falls back on the head is nice, but it looks like it has an absolutely GIANT head, and that it's going prematurely bald because of the shiny spots right on the forehead. The muzzle looks a bit narrow, and I'm afraid it'll turn out like the feli, where any open-mouth pose makes it look terribly crowded with teeth. Also, I think it's perhaps just a TAD too bowlegged. Like I said, the art is obviously better, but it seems to lose a lot of things that made the old otter adorable.

nari_lupin

It looks much more realistic than the older, more cartoonish one. By giving it a longer body and an actual muzzel, it looks so much better. Plus it has that "Pet-Me-I'm-Adorable" look on its face. The tail is a little off, but overall, it's a definite improvement.
0

MikiDaCrow

it does have more personality in the expression, kudos on that. I would suggest that the dome of the forehead be reduced and the length of the body be shortened a bit to bring back some of that pudgy cuteness to the pet. It doesn't have to be babyish, but it's gone from toddler to teenager in body shape. The shape of the fluke on the old one was more graceful, so perhaps shorter tail, original flukes. The furry bits work well on the head, elbows and tail, but don't do as well doubled on the chest and between the hind legs.

Like the old one. The new one seems more older and i don't like that.

I just don't understand why it has eyebrows. o___0

ColdDragon

Generally, I like it. Over all nice anatomy and it's cute. It needs to lose at least one of the fluffs on the chest. The last two pieces of hair on the forehead need to come off and line from the eyebrow ridge should connect to the piece of left. It would still have a cute dome head without looking like it's skull is sticking out to far.

kariohki

Yeah, the tail near the end is a bit thin and the chest fur is a bit boobish. But it looks cute otherwise

It's so cute but the arm looks a bit off. I think the line connecting the shoulder to the arm is a bit too long

Dalton_381

Mm... it's well-drawn, but something bothers me about it. I like the eyes and the muzzle, but my vote's going to the old one. I won't mind whichever wins though, I'm not a fan of otters anyway ^^;
0

KuroKitty

I like this new revamp. One of the few that I think is actually worthy of becoming the new Otter... my only complaint is its tail. On the old one, the fin was larger, and made more since. Logically, the fluke should be larger than the animal's head ^^;
0

Selene

Ohhh....-just read what other said about the chest-

Ok, the fluff on the left side of the chest could be flipped to the other side might make it look better with the two fuffs. <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>

Another thing that bothers me is the arm. It looks rather off at the elbow. -0 It looks like... the arm is curved outwards from the positioning of the inner elbow.

Ooooh. This is pretty nice. <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0> I voted for it. I only have two crits. The tail does seem a little thin when it gets to the flipper, but I don't think it's really that big of a deal. The one feature that's kind of bothering me is the fluffs on its chest. Why are there two? <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/smiley_xface.gif border=0> It doesn't seem to work well... making the Otter seem as if he has a double chest. (like a double chin)

Winterwolf, you say 'otters shouldnt have dogs noses...' - but I just wanted to remind you, that this is not a realistic otter, it's a subeta pet <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0> Although it's based on an otter, aspects have been taken from other species to make it more original <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>

Oh wait, it's going to be renamed Ontra? Heh, it just makes it more original. I agree that the back of the head looks flat and the face seems a bit awkward. That and the tail looks like it's sloped too....I dunno, it just doesn't look like a flexible tail should be

Mhn..... the odd bits of fur on the head, chest and between it's legs... bothers me. -0 On the chest, it looks like a womans'.. you knows... on the head it looks like a rooster's comb. and the bit between the legs just throws it off. If it had that fur there, it would be irritating to the poor critter.

Wow, like I said before I like the new one- And I voted it but the shiny forhead IS bugging me. <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy_sweatdrop.gif border=0> If you guys (the artists) redo it agian like how pets omstimes are; you oculd try to make it a lil less shingy on the head. =3 Otherwise, the art is very well done. =) I like how is now has a more of a muzzel the it just being flat- Something I'm really trying to do in my artwork becuse whent ever I try to make the muzzel of a furry animal...It comes out wierd; so the artists here are making me pratise more and more for some reson. XD lol And LOVE the lil furry chest. 8'D SO CUTE! :heart X3 And the fur on the leg the is puffing up is pretty cute too! :3 And I like how the legs are kinda somewhat far from the tail too. x333 I've never really been a fan of the otter- But now if this goes thouth: I wanna see what the bloodred one will look like. =3

fenikkusu64

Ohhhh, pretty revamp. I just have a few problems with it though. First off, the face of the original looked more cute. (You know, the wider eyes and the =O expression.) I assume that's what people liked about it the most. Second, the head looks a bit... odd? Someone said that the back looked flat, which I agree with. Third, the fur on its chest. Is it supposed to be that... bumpy? O-o;; But besides that, the revamp is awesome. =D

LadyJan

I love the more mischievous look in the eye of the new one as opposed to the blank stare in the eye of the older one. The softer lines of the fur around the top of the head are excellent. Definitely an improvement!
