Terracoon Revamp
What\'s that noise out by your trash cans? Could it be something that goes bump in the night? Maybe it\'s Oscar looking for his next design inspiration? (And meal) Oh, it seems like the terracoon has gone in and come out with a brand new look! Not many creatures come out so snazzy after a trashcan raid, but these terracoons have it down to a fine art.

Its really cute and in my option i like it much better but..i dont think it was really a pet in need of a revamp. I was more thinking about pets like Swampie

Due to the amount of pets/items being added to the list of creditable revamps that are not necessarily re-designed site artwork, I no longer fear for my dear Melman--the Computer Geek--and even embrace the idea of seeing this handsome spectacle get the shading, highlights, and seamless outline that will illuminate his character with no desecration of the original concept ( which is quite whimsical :heart: ).
Forasmuch, I'm glad the good artists at Subeta have gotten this down to.. an art. Hats off to you!

I like the new revamp...it really is an improvement and I love the new expression, but this just wasn't one of those pets where I thought "Wow, that could use a revamp."
Could you guys do Archan next, pleeeeeeeeeeease? ;-; THAT needs a revamp.

Eyes too mean looking. Tail and chest too fluffy. Tail example.

Yet another beautiful revamp! Love the new facial expression, especially. The terracoon looks so wily and scrappy now, haha.

Very good update, I don't think the facial expression makes it look menacing, rather mischievous and playful, don't you think?

The quality of the art is amazing but I don't like the facial expression as well. Good revamp though! PLEASE update swampies. They need it SO badly. :)

Oh my god yesssss.
I really never liked the terracoon in it's normal colors before because of it's lifeless face, seriously it always creeped me out. But this is much better! Also I adore how scruffy it looks now with the hair, there's a lot more attitude there! I think we have enough base pets with just normal happy expressions so this is a nice change indeed. :)
Also I really like the subtle color tweak on common, the brown/beige it had before always bothered me since it felt very yellowish. This is much better.

Eee! I have a twilight terracoon, and at first this took a min to get used to. The more Iook at him, the more I love him. So much fluffier and way more attitude. Cute, cute, cute! Beautiful job artist, and thank you staff!

The art is nicer, but I am extremely disappointed that there was no poll on this. IMO if something is more than a mere update, like bringing shading to standard, it should be polled.
Personally I think the lines are too thick, and I think the shading is a bit too much on the dramatic side, and should have been made to be a bit smoother. Some more depth and texture to the fur would have helped it a bit more, since I get somewhat of a plastic-like vibe from it. The area with the shoulders going into the arm also seems a bit too... bowed, I think is the right word? I like the tail and eyes, though.

Aww man, assign some of the older pets so they can look this nice! Seriously though, it's a good upgrade from a decent place already. A little sad they lost the Robin Williams face, but still c:

RAH!!! i like this revamp! they look more petit and the darker colors loos so much better <3
I feel like the tail is a bit short, but whoever wants a longer tail, they can make one for themselves and use an overlay ;)

To be honest, the revamp is okay, but I don't like how angry it looks compared to the old one.

Holy woah, these are cute.
I'm a little surprised that they're getting a revamp, because they've gone through a lot, but.. I really like these!

seems weird to me that the terracoon of all pets is getting yet another revamp. what's this, like the third or fourth one? i'd have thought there'd be other pets that were in much more drastic need of redrawing.

I think Rah did a great job on them. I love the mohawk and the style so much more. I'm gonna miss the smile but it's not too hard for people to change that with an overlay.

I ADORE THEM AAAHHHH ;o; The old one was a little bit derpy (if otherwise nice) but the new one is perfectly sly and clearly up to some trouble. Lovely update ;o;

Although I liked how cute the old one looked, I also like the new, cheekier look it has xD And it's nicer art, so I like this update :3

I'm not too big on Terracoons, but nice work as usual though, Rah!
I'd just like to know why we didn't get a poll on this?? :/ What happened to polling on revamps?

I do love how fuzzy and scruffy the fur looks now, but I just cannot seem to like that new facial expression. I miss the CUTE AND HAPPY expression like the last one had; this new facial expression makes it look like a jerk to me. :( Oh well.

this is kinda like the old terracoon's cooler big bro.
the anatomy feels more solid and i'm glad subeta has been modifying expressions and reducing the amount of goofy smiling pets. it kinda adds to the mature atmosphere of the website or at least further distinguishes us from neopets.

Aww, I like how scruffy it is, but it looks kinda mean or frowny- bring back the rounded face-mask

Haven't you just updated the Terracoon? I like this ones look even less than the last. Bring back the old happy Terracoon!

I'm definitely gonna have to get used to this update. The art is beautiful as usual, Rah, you really know how to bring life into things. I love seeing you revamp your old pets because I love seeing your improvement, and you always do such a good job!
The face is a little jarring to me but I know i'll definitely get used to it. I already am. My terracoon Garret was my second pet ever, so they're a really special species to me, and I'm so glad to see them getting love. You do really great things with them, Rah. :D

I don't care for the look on the new one's face. It looks like its personality did a complete 180. And it looks a lot more ragged than the old one, which looked like it would be soft to the touch. Oh well.
I don't own a terracoon though, so no big deal.

Of the two images in this news post, only the twilight one updated for me. It does look more like a real raccoon now.

Blip - I would have loved to redesign the whole thing from scratch and make it more raccoony, but then I'd have had to revamp EVERY other terracoon. With this revamp, the other terracoons are mostly safe! (And I don't know about you guys but I thought the old one looked really dead behind the eyes?! Like a glassy eyed taxidermy terracoon!)

Poor Rah, I think it looks really great. Small tweaks to keep the art updated and fresh is nice. :)

Just a note for those who might be thinking 'but there are so many other pets that need revamping!' - I just want you to know I may not be responsible for those pets, I can only work on the pets I AM responsible for! I'm doing a few little cleanups on my pets this year but it shouldn't be anything major :)
AND OH MY GOSH IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT IS TAKING A CRAP WHEN ANIMALS DO THAT THEY LIFT THEIR TAILS RIGHT UP AND SQUAT AND JUT THEIR HEADS FORWARDS SO AS TO CREATE A NICE ANGLE FOR EXITING. And that is the last time you will ever hear me talk about that.

The facial expression and shading are great, I just wish the tail had details like it's mohawk thing.
Also never realized how short and stumpy their legs were, kinda like a dachshund puppy :P

While I think the old one needed a shading update, I think the slightly changed pose and expression of this new one kinda looks like the terracoon's trying to take a crap. :x

Was I alone in thinking the old ones looked really, really dated, then? I think these are a massive upgrade; love the fur texture and the fierce little grin.

I think by going a bit more realistic with the designs, they're alienating people who prefer a more whimsical design like me. Still, I'd like to see Dillema get a revamp some day. He could use a bit more detail in his design.

I never had a problem with its old design, but if they wanna revamp, then they'll revamp.

Why can't most of the pets get revamps like this? Just an upgraded shading and not a total overhaul :(
