Steamwork Pets
"Come on down to Yun Enterprises," he says! "We still have a few surprises left up our sleeves!"
We? Because I\'m pretty sure we closed almost two hours ago, and yet I\'m still here putting the finishing touches on our last surprises. I think I need a vacation. Maybe Darkside is nice this time of year. I\'ve never seen a red sand beach...
Oh, right! So, tomorrow morning, show up bright and early and you can pick up plans for either a steamwork chelon, feli, or montre. If you come tonight, no one will be there to open the door! I\'m sorry to tease you like this, but there have been so many requests for these designs that I wanted to make sure they were just perfect. I hope you love them!

ARU is completely right about the Montre's wings snapping if opened enough to attempt flapping.
A close look at them shows where they'd need to be hinged or flexible, and quite clearly aren't.
Look at the silver/gray section at the front of the wing that we can see in full, at the top edge of that are two gold/brass hinges that look almost like large staples. This hinge must move to let the wings extend, and on its own it could. But, behind that, toward the tail, there's the light brass colored section with the cut-outs. There's an edge on that which matches the hinge, but that edge isn't flexible or bendable in the least, it won't move. That edge would have to move for the wings to extend properly. Because it doesn't, like ARU had said, the wings would snap if the Montre even tried to flap them.
It's a beautiful looking design, but that's a critical flaw in the functionality.

I must admit that I'm thoroughly impressed with all of today's new releases - they're fantastic :3

The montre is actually my favorite! I love the way the tail curls over.
I don't see anything wrong with the wings or anything. X: Serious props to whoever does the steamwork pets. So much detail.. hope you guys are getting paid enough. ;D

OMG THAT FELI
I don't generally like steamworks pets. They're not cuddly looking enough for me.
But I actually like that Feli! And I have an interesting story idea! I just might have to get one next time I get a pet slot. xD

I have a biiiit of an issue with the montre's wing design. It can't flap them or they will break.
I do have to admit serious love for the feli's playfulness. And damn that chelon! The artists did a great job with these!

the first thing i noticed was the poses are so similar XD
But the chelon is just gorgeous, there's nothing bad I can say about it
Sooo much detail and just amazingness. The touch of blue on the chelon and the kora are really really nice touches, and I think thats why those two stick out to me XD My eye is constantly drawn to the blue.
The Feli is adorable. I love the expression, and everything looks pretty much perfectt. I especially love the tail and the middle of its body. It looks properly elastic-y like a cat's spine would be? If that make sense. I love it.
I like the Montre's pose, but compared to the other two it just strikes me as simple?
I know not all steamwork pets are ~super complicated~ and the montre is a simple pet, but I was hoping for something cool with the wings / that they werent covering so much of the body. Also, the eyes? or the face? something seems off.
Overall I like 'em :D

Admiring the feli face/eyes & play pose with the bolt! The blue area on the chelon is also cool B)
I don't get the Montre's expression, but I do like the other two!!

Came in here expecting people to start squeeing about the Montre, I see all of this love for the Chelon instead. XD
They are all horribly pretty, though. :heart:

I'M CRYING.

These... are all so amazing in their own ways, I love them ;o; the smoke-stacks on the Chelon are such a nice touch, for some reason it makes me think of the Castle from Howl's Moving Castle. The Feli's pose is absolutely adorable and I love how it's playing with that little screw on the floor. The Montre is wonderful as well, I especially love those paws and the wings! New pets are seriously the best, these are great :D

I love the Chelon, apart from one little thing. Why does it look so angry? I'd rather have a happy chelon! I think it's the eyes..
The Montre is awesome, and if I had any eye for feli I'd probably like it too. :)
(if only the chelon didn't look so sinister, I'd be scraping instantly for more tokens to get one)

Love the pose on the feli, with it playing with the bolt. And I think I may have to consider getting a chelon, this is the fist color that really makes them cool to me. And the montre is good too.

THE SUBETAN ARTISTS ARE NOW COMPLETELY IN SYNC WITH THEIR POSES. It was bound to happen eventually. We spend too much time with each other.
