Graveyard Pets!

As Survival festivities wind to a close, graveyard pets can be seen wandering back to their homes. It looks like the darkonite and swampie have been updated, and the rreign is now available!

Crystle @

It's going to take me a while to get used to the new Darkonite... GY Darko is one of the pets that got me to join back in the day.

This update is interesting, for sure, I like the updated art... but at the same time, I'm just so in love with the old one that I don't know what to make of this yet.

Oh, I love the new Swampie!
I need one right now! *-*

NECOLA @

This is the only re-color I have been sad about, although I do understand you want to update the pets ... ;_; time to repaint my graveyard darkonite.

inkrealm @

old swampie had a certain look to it.... new one is pretty cool in its own way too though .3.
there's something about that rreign though..... makes me want to snuggle him to death ^-^; I want one nouw. ;^; ♥️

Ran @

They're so nasty they're beautiful actually o.O

Lindsie @

I like all of them. :) Nice coloring etc. But I can always sympathize with someone who has a pet redrawn and doesn't feel as connected to it anymore. :S
And, I'm kind of confused about the festivities coming to a close, huh? Did I miss something? *goes back to skim through news*

Darkk_AFN @

That poor rreign...

0

CORE @

If the rreign's guts hadn't been spilling out like that, I would have gotten one in a heartbeat. Its e x p r e s s i o n and the bare bone, it's just fantastic.
The Darkonite I don't really mind either way, but the colouring is lovely.
The Swampie, on the other hand, is sadly not my cup of tea. At all. I like the eye and the boney spikes, but that's about it. Something about it just doesn't appeal to me.

Bingo @

Aaaww, the Rreign looks so pitiful ;-;

0

Doomy @

I love how cartoony the Rreign is looking! <3 Yay intestines~!
And I am tempted to change my Darkonite now...love the brains~ But the face looks somewhat off to me...
The Swampie is neat, but the neck is a bit odd... I like how it's ribs are showing though~

0

Woodland @

I think these are all pretty cool, though I don't really like the swampie's neck.

I was up most of the night with a sick stomach and coming back to look at them today, that rreign's stomach isn't helping. XD

Kota @

Aw, the Rreign looks so sad that his guts are spilling out everywhere. :C

rreign rocks !

Schwarzflug @

Omg, that's disgusting!
I love it! :P

apricot @

I actually really really dislike the new darkonite :( I thought the last version was wonderful, this ones face looks.. really off.

The other two though I absolutely love :) Great detail and great characters!!

0

Zeppelin @

I'm extremely happy that the Darkonite, especially in the legs, still has a feeling that reminds me of the old one. I wish the brains weren't so.. there, but that's fine. Beautiful pet. I like the Swampie too, the neck is really creepy.
The Rreign is freaking sad, though, holy. I don't like to look at it for too long. Guess that's what they were going for.

0

Maple @

omg the darkonite's skin! I have to say that I love the coloring in comparison to the older version. The newer version is so much brighter, textured, and fresh (lol). The rreign is adorable if not for the intestines falling out and skin drooping off the bone.. *shivers* the expression is really loveable though. Not what I was expecting, but I'm glad cause I think the species definitely deserves something new. As for the Swampie, I feel bad for saying it, but for some reason I am never a fan of the Swampie's no matter how well the artist draws them. The broken neck is clever though considering the Swampie is all length and not really much body. Great job!

Danudaine @

Love the Darkonite. I don't see anything wrong with it. XD
Though to be honest I have NO idea what is going on with the Swampie's neck. O_O;

Weedle @

The Swampie's neck creeps me out more than anything else xD

Bison @

The Darkonite is disappointing. XP The Rreign makes me want to cry.

0

KiRAWRa @

Oi, I am greatly disappointed by the new Darkonite. :C The shading and added detail is wonderful, but the pose seems very squished, and I can pick out several flaws in the anatomy. Especially with the face, it seems like the entire front of it's head just got completely squashed together. I don't doubt that could happen seeing as how it <i>is</i> a graveyard pet after all, but it just makes for a very awkward looking face. The pose also doesn't flow right, it seems very off-balance. I will greatly miss the old Darkonite. While the drawing itself may have been below the current style quality, it certainly had a lot more personality, balance, and flow in the pose.

Fishbone @

aaww swampie needs some ducktape :c

ROCK @

SUPER improved, all around. LOVE the rreign. Someone said it looked small? I don't see it! When I saw it, I thought the image was larger than usual, so I opened in in its own window to make sure it was 200x200.
I think they all look way better than they did before.

MiniCola @

Why is everyone sad with the darkonite?!
I think the darknite looks awesome! :P
Actually I have NEVER seen the old darkonite
but i think it looks fine!

Rainey @

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the rreign

Koki @

Well, gotta say I'm pretty glad I accidentally zapped Gadzooks out of graveyard and then made her angelic later on. I've been dreading this revamp for a while because the old one just had so much personality :(

AGGGGH! My Darkonite! SAAAADDDD!

mmmmmmmm gutsssssssssssss

Miette @

creepy the lot of them!

Sopheroo @

The Rreign is dissapointing. :( It's something that wouldn't look out of place with most 2006-graveyard pets, but clashes horribly with the 2011 ones, especially considering how tiny it is.

The main problem would be the lack of texture on the shading in some places, it does feel more plastic that emaciated flesh.

0

FAKE @

That Rreign is amazing! And I love the swampie. ♥
But... I'm very disapointed about the Darkonite. It's an amazing job, but I think just addign some of the amazing shadows here and there in the new one in the old picture... Could be... okay to me, I guess. I mean, is totally different, the pose, the bright eyes... The design is totally different that the one I used to love. Uu

0

Rook @

Eh... I'm not particularly impressed by these TBH. :/ They're missing something that the other updated Graveyard pets have. I don't quite know how to explain it; they just don't seem quite as polished. Immensely improved from the previous art, of course, but even so, a number of issues are really turning me off here.

0

Horror @

Awww...I want to give the rreign a hug. He looks too cute...to me.

0

Sasuke @

OMG!!!!
I love soo much the Darkonite! I think the only thing I'm going to miss is the glowing eyes, but then the rest of the fabulous art more than makes up for it.

0

Koikoi @

Oh NOW I see the new Darkonite... Subeta was being weird to me.

Great detail, but the old one... it just had way more personality. It had such character I grew incredibly fond of my own Graveyard Darkonite.
The character is lost in this one, and the colours don't sit right with me... The toned down grey/green suited it very well, and now it's darker, and has a bluer hue that doesn't seem to fit in at all. And the brain... the brain just terrifies me, more than the Rreign's intestines or the lack of an eye.

The Rreign and the Swampie are gorgeous in their own horrifying way, but the Darkonite leaves me feeling very disappointed, almost to the point of mourning for the loss of the old one.
I'm definitely overlaying the old style on my Darkonite's profile.

CallaSoreon @

I like the head of the old Darkonite better.

0

Aperture_168 @

Love the Swampie and Rreign, but I miss that sassy flair the old Darkonite had. Gorgeous art, but it just doesn't have as much personality to me. :/

0

sikkykins @

nooooooo, not my darkonite! ;O;

0

CarbonCoal @

I'm a little disappointed with the darkonite.I was going to get one but I don't like the revamp very much.I liked the pose,the eyes and the smile on the old one.It looked very evil just right for my darkonite,but now it looks like it was toned down a bit.

But I do think that the rreign is cute.

0

atechu @

;__;
Am I the only one that was thisclose to crying over the rreign?
omg I'm such a baby xD

0

kaizou @

As much as I loved the old darkonite, I have to say that the revamp did a great job in reintegrating it into the flow of the *new* graveyard pets. not my cup of tea, but a job well done is a job well done, Huzzah.

e-x-p-r-e-s-s-i-o-n is a bad word now or something? It's not showing up...

Writhe @

Swampie's a huge improvement, and I love the Rreign- though I'll kinda miss the old GY darkonite in perfect honesty...

0

Jasper @

v-- the rreigns expression. --v Don't know what happened to that word... o.O

0

Jasper @

Eh, I'm underwhelmed by the GY Darkonite... Shading's awesome and I love how the bone looks like bone but the original just looked scarier and had way more character and the Swampies neck... Owie. -.o I will say I love the Rreigns expression. Poor thing looks like it's about to get the shovel. XD

... Speaking of, here's the old versions:

That rreign deserves a hug. D:

Koikoi @

The Rreign is ridiculously disturbing, but still so cute O _ O

And umm... I don't see any difference in the Darkonite. I've had a Graveyard Darkonite for a few months now and I really don't see a difference.

Tribunal @

The swampie's neck just makes mine hurt :c

They're pretty nice (and yay for some love for the poor forgotten swampies XD), though something about the rreign just strikes me as off, but I can't put my finger on it. Minor though!

Oh my goddd, love them. *o* Brains, intestines, and creepy sewn-up ill-fitting necks... what's not to love?!

The swampie is probably my favorite... or the darkonite. Or the rreign. All three of these are amazing oh wow.

0

Peach @

The swampie and rreign are really gruesome :(

I know graveyards are supposed to be rotting, but I always preferred pets like the GY paralix that aren't so...in your face.

bijuu @

i freaking adore the awkwardly broken neck on that swampie. it creeps me out so badly. ^_^

DAMN, if that isn't the cutest little darkonite! Awwww. So mischievous looking. :D

The swampie's rib cage/shoulder area IS FUCKING AWESOME! Great detail! :heart:

The rreign makes me want to weep... :C

Oh, eew! (you can take that as a compliment, artists ;) )

Does anyone have the old images? So people who like the old style pets can overlay? Personally I adore the Rreign

Ohhh wow. @___@ These are fantastique! They look awesome. xD

0

rust @

OMG, those are fantastic.

I don't really know how the Darkonite was in the past, but I think this one is the best form for them. I love the tails.

The Swapmie is gorgeous, too. Such a dead expression. ♥️

And, finally, the Rreign... Poor thing. Can you see the sorrow in its eyes? :C
*hugs Rreign*

Kudos to the artists! x3

Oh. Now I see the new art. Hmm. I'll have to take am minute to decide if I like it or not xD

0

Squid @

Is it just me or is the swampie hardly changed at all? I mean, is it just updated art, with no real changes to the design?

How lovely! I was so worried for Kuhrunah.

0

hagane @ STAFF

To anyone upset about the Darkonite -- sorry, it had to be done. It was very outdated and didn't match the rest of the Darkonites at all anymore! :( Overlay it, if you'd like. But it couldn't be avoided!

Reykur @

Not fond of the new darkonite, just because I liked the old one so much. The art is nice anyways, but I guess I'm going to zap Kannazuki again.

0

stan @

Oh. My. God.
Win.
Pure win.

The Darkonite is fantastic. Absolutely gorgeous work, especially on the hind legs.
I love the neck on the Swampie. I feel like that some days when I wake up, lol.
The Rreign looks like it is falling apart. Quite a work of art.

Overall...good job, Graveyard artists.

THANK GOD.

That Darko was in desperate need of a lineart update! While I adored the old pose, it really didn't fit with the Darko's new look, or the graphic and intricate detail of the other Graveyard pets. I really like this, and I understand that I'm in the minority, but props to you, artist!

Props to the other artist(s), too! That Swampie's neck makes me twitch, and the Rreign is...just amazing. Love the intestines.

0

Taiho @

I'm not sure I like how much brain the darkonite is showing; the back feet and the tail are lovely though. I like how the rreign is losing intestines.

Laura @

the swampie... x_x

Templar @

Huh, I miss the old dynamic pose of the darkonite and think the rreign doesn't look up to par with the rest of the GY pets, though I do like the swampie. It looks weird. .n.

Does anyone have the old darkonite? I honestly prefered its expression over the new one, although this one's nice too.

I'm a little put off by the darkonite, but I suppose I'll live, haha.

I'll just have to get used to Black Cat's new look

ShadowFoxKitfox @

The Rreign makes me think if Rabbits (Rabbitas and Rabiguts) from Phantasy Star 2. [img="http://www.pscave.com/ps2/enemies/images/rabbit.gif[/img"] Hurray for intestines!

0

Cylum @

Okay, that swampie is NASTY! D: I really like the detail on the rreigns wings, but I don't like the darkonites brain. It looks fake. Kinda like it's made of macaroni. If it was shinier, like it was wet and slimy, that would help.

Really nice work on the Rreign, guys(gals?), I'm loving the overall tone. The other two are well done but the Rreign just steals the thunder.

the other two are far FAR too graphic/gory for my tastes, but attempting to put that aside and considering they're made for people with different tastes, they are brilliantly drawn.
