Angelic Swampie Revamp

The angelic swampie has been updated!

It's a lot more realistic than the other, but I think the wings should be fluffier since it is angelic. But then again it is a water animal so maybe the wings got wet...

I like it! I don't care whether or not it could exist because it looks amazing regardless! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

I really don't see what everyone is complaining about, I like it! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

Fantasy or not, I've noticed subeta trying to go for a more realistic turn lately.

That, and I've read some of the critiques that people wrote here, and I honestly think you guys should stop "defending the artist", because there is nothing to defend them from. The critiques were all pretty darn helpful, and not offensive or rude at all.

Yes, I know, I probably shouldn't be speaking for the artist sense I'm not them, but as an artist myself, I find well written critiques quite helpful in the long run.

PUDDI @

Bleh, do not like.

Yoyo Illuser @

I think it would be interesting if its flippers were turned into wings or something, as if it was still swimming, but swimming in the sky. It's expression is very cute though in my opinion. It seems to be so happy^^

Pretty cute, for a swampie O:

Critics do not belong on virtual pet sites. These are FANTASY pets and fantasy pets can be anything at all. Nuff said. I love it.

What the... okay... my comment is supposed to say "facial xpression" but the word xpression disappears... thus why no "e" with the spellings here.

err... its facial expression <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Totally digging its expression.

Perhaps it's not flying, just swimming around pretending that it can.

Jovian @

re: artistic license, that argument is bullshit. there's a difference between detailing something differently and getting anatomy wrong. it's just as bad as the tired "durp durp don't need anatomy it's my style!!!!" argument.

look, bro, you can give your creature as many outlandish unrealistic things as you want, but that won't stop me from going "okay if this is how they're supposed to be, how the hell does it work???" and then you going "IT'S ARTISTIC LICENSE" as an awful excuse.

I'm not criticizing this pet, just that argument because I think it's flimsy. honestly, though, I think it'd be cool of the swampie still only swam. it'd be kinda cute that way.

So pretty. <3
I hope they re-vamp the Angelic Feli soon. *Is hopeful* : D

Eloquence_993 @

It isn't the extent of the "corrections" you think the artwork needs, it's the fact that you think there should be any corrections whatsoever.
If an artist intends for a creatures wings to look a certain way, no matter how believable or incorrect you think it is, they have every reason to follow through with their vision.
Artistic license.. Just because it doesn't make sense to you, doesn't mean the artist should be afraid to do it.
Not to mention, who's to say the wings are even USED to fly. Perhaps they're a vestigial structure, and the Angelic Swampie only swims.

Nikkichu @

About time. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
Looks a lot better than before.

KitteyCat1010 @

I honestly see nothing wrong with the wings. They remind me of a bumble bees, small but still able to fly.

0

Otter @

Kudos to the artist for a good job.That being said I will have to say this is one of the few re draws I dont care for.While I do think it is nicely done and more in style with the rest of the site and the pose is good but the wings are a bit odd.

0

MapleRose @

yay finally! I hope the other Swampies get revamp soon too

0

nice @

So pretty <3 But I think the wings should be a more fitting colour, other than that, it's perfect x)

0

SubetaAngel @

I like it finally it has style! May acquire one.

KiRAWRa @

I knew someone was going to get on my case about it being a "pretend creature", therefore criticizing it's wings would be pointless. If you read my comment I mentioned that I'm not asking for the wings to look as perfect as a photograph, but there are flaws which could be fixed to create a better, more believable and realistic creature. Just because a creature isn't real doesn't mean it shouldn't have believable features. I don't care if you want it's wings to be upside down and bend backwards, at least show proper anatomy as to how something like that would fit together. If I were to use an example I'd mention the new Avatar movie by James Cameron. That film is full of crazy alien creatures, but they didn't simply draw up the creatures with 6 legs and say "It works because they're aliens". Now obviously this is just a pet site and creatures are going to be cartoony and fudged a little in the anatomy department, but completely disregarding proper wing structure because it's "not a real animal" is just silly.
Whoever drew this picture is obviously a very talented artist and wings are something that's very hard to get right. I'm only offering my opinion and critique, I don't expect this drawing to be changed at all but hopefully in the future the artist will improve on drawing wings.

PANTS_721 @

Beautiful art and wonderful improvement from the last
but I feel its missing something REALLY important
I guess it just looks very boring compared to the other angelic pets :c

0

Malygna @

amazing revamp ^^

0

Doomy @

/agrees with Eloquence

Also, think about Bees. Logically, they shouldn't be able to fly due to the wing to size ratio of them. BUT THEY DEFY LOGIC.

I honestly love Swampies, because they're dinosaur-ish. The only reason I do not own is because I have not thought of a character design to fit or a color I liked. I am really loving this Angelic one, though~! <33

0

Eloquence_993 @

Criticizing the wing anatomy of a FICTIONAL creature is akin to criticizing JK Rowling for the wing to mass ratio of a Hippogriff.
If someone INVENTS a creature, who can say it doesn't look exactly how it should.

Looks very nice and gracious! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

InSaNe @

so does that guy actually fly or swim

0

CaptanFlowers @

Beautiful. I agree with the wings though. They are a bit odd, but I do understand what the look the wings are going for. The wings look like that when a bird banks to the left or right. The right wing looks more better, if that was the intended pose, than the left one. This is all my opinion, though. Who ever drew this is very talented and I envy them!

0

KiRAWRa @

I'm not a big fan of the Swampie, but it does look very majestic in this pose. Everything looks great, except for those odd wings. They could have gone in a much better pose, since the canvas is so open and the wings look like they're flopping about unsynchronized. The feathers are very random too, I honestly don't see anything about the wings that shows proper knowledge of wing anatomy. I'm not saying the wings need to look perfect, but the basic arm and wing structure should be visible. I don't want to sound too critical, being a pet artist myself I know the work that goes into making these things, I just think this one could use some improvement.

Kudos to the artists, anyway, regardless of the wings~ <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />

It's gorgeous! Once again the Angelic pets are doing it for me... making me like species I never really did before! Serious kudos to the artist <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

Aww <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" /> How cute~

The only think I don't like are the cream coloured wings <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> Other than that it's a wonderful improvement by far!

Stephgirl @

cuh-ute! x10 love it except the outside wing looks like idk what it looks like it just looks weird

0

varicolored @

I like the new art, but I prefer the pose of the old one. It looked like a little wisp spirit almost. I really dislike when the artist changes the pose of pets they redo. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

0

Giannabionda @

I reeeeeally prefer the old one, I simply loved its face, now I don't like the way the face is tilted and how the wings look like.

0

Alicia @

omg the old one was so cute! It looked like a toy! ;-;
The face on this is soooo cute!

0

Peppermint @

I love the new pose! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" /> But I think the wings look a bit off or maybe it's hard to tell with this pose..

0

Oh goodness, that's lovely! I really like the pose. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

CelticRaiN @

I agree, I don't like the Swampie at all, but I looked at this and thought I have to have that! It only clicked in later that it was a Swampie! XD

I think it's his joyous carefree look that does it! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />

Loki_826 @

Awww, I LOVE the adorably sweet face! The detail on the wings and flippers is very nicely done. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> I REALLY love this re-draw! FANTASTIC JOB! ♥

0

Jovian @

the wings are a bit off angle with the swampie itself; notice how the wings make a slanted line with how they're pointing, and yet the body is turned differently than that line.

besides that, good work! a lot of angelic pets could use a revamp and it's nice to see them coming out.

0

Velluria @

Ooohhh, pretty. x3

0

Alaska @

Overall I really like this pet, and I've never been a fan of this species. However, I have to agree with what a few people are saying... something looks awkward about the wings. Maybe if they had been larger, or maybe at the same level? I can't really put my finger on it.

Other than that, it's really great.

0

Wolfism @

The wings look a bit awkward, but other than that, a nice update!

0

Zucni @

Awe! What a sweetie.

0

Xilicia @

I really, really like that the wings are added and that the flippers didn't get turn into wings. I think that is my favorite thing about it. I don't care for the turned head though, I would have liked it to be looking straight on

0

Stupidvampire @

Well it's better than what was there before, but I don't see why it should be happy when it looks as though it's got a broken wing. I have no idea what the swampie is supposed to be doing.

Aww it looks so happy <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

I'm actually kinda glad the flippers aren't the wings because it's been done before. This is a really good improvement!

Godith @

What with the Chelon and all, I was really expecting the flippers to become the wings. This kind of looks awkward.

HISTORY_377 @

I, personally, love swampies (just haven't a pet slot with a good character for a swampie yet!), and this is obviously much, much better than the original. Not sure I love that its head is turned though. :S

0

creep @

It's great to see it finally updated, but the swampies always seem to be somewhat outdated, no matter how or when they get their updates. : I suppose it might just be the style of the art, or being limited in their design since they're pretty basic/non-detail oriented pets. The wings are lovely, and the perspective is unique, but they're so small and they look like slivers..

It looks nice, and the artist did a lovely job, something just feels way off.

Cayleth @

I like the face and the pose a lot, but I don't like the wings. They could be bigger and another perspective would help to see them more as wings. They look weird this way.

Uwah, this is really gorgeous! I think I'm willing to hold out hope that the Serpenth will be getting revamps too. ( I hope I hope I hope <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" /> )

The only thing that I have against it that I would much rather have the angelic wings instead of its flippers. I wouldn't want to have it permanently but I would love to see how it would turn out.
