Oh, is this the work of the new artist? I do really like the style, it reminds me of Eevee1/Kuitsuku's older pet site art, not in a bad way (as it looks rather dated now) but in that feeling of awe i had as a wee art kid looking at her shiny smooth artwork. The sheeta's fur is a bit too claylike for my tastes and the snout anatomy bothers me, but i thoroughly enjoy the mahar! The shading has a very pleasant soft look.

Gonna miss the old sheeta (which I really liked), but I can't argue that it needed an update. The floppy ears on the new one are cute <3

I freaking adore these two with their updates!
Their colors aren't washed out and they really embody "chibi" instead of looking like babies. It actually looks like the Chibis are getting art updates to follow this look more and I'm digging it <3

@Pluma omg they totally are QPosket eyes! I knew they reminded me of something
@MarchOnOff yup, that was the previous version! It's super old.

I always felt the Chibi Sheeta was SO LONG OVERDUE for a revamp. xD
Something about the two of them feel almost TOO detailed for chibis, but I guess that's just where the Subeta style is going. :o

I know the art style is different than we're used to seeing, but I kind of like it. The Mahar especially I think is insanely adorable!

CRAP!!!!
Loaded up Subeta as usual, the page opened, and bang I was hit with so much cuteness I've booked a dental appointment, and am mopping spluttered coffee off my monitor!
Wowie the art work on the pets is just getting better and better, these are truly amazing kudos to the artist(s)

I LOVE them but they stand out a lot, style-wise. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though!

Well I think the big eyes make them look more actually chibi and not just baby versions of the pets like some of the others. Not that there's anything wrong with that unless you want to be really strict with how you define a chibi, but I'm just making an observation in response to other people's comments.
Actually that makes me think, what if we actually had baby pets as a separate "color"? I guess it might be too similar to chibi, especially with several chibi pets already looking like babies, but I'm thinking of things like Archan cubs not having manes or horned pets not having horns.
Anyway the only complaint I have is the Sheeta's front legs look like they're not bent in the right place, but I'm not sure if it's the angle or what.

While they are both lovely the chibi mahar does feel like it is from another website not here.

@Laurey
That Sheeta is an old-old one, like really old? You mean she has never had a revamp before? @User not found: _@ If she did, maybe someone can post the most recent revamp please?
*dies of cuteness overdose*

I agree that the art style is definitely different, but I could probably live with it, because it is very nice.
I think the only thing that really bothers me is that the poses kind of highlight the squareness of the canvas? The other chibis (and most other pets) have some amount of free space that contributes to making the pose/image feel a bit more dynamic. I think some really "simple" (I know having to redraw anything is never really that simple, unfortunately :c ) changes could really help, maybe like pulling the front legs of the Sheeta together and re-positioning the tail? Like others have said, I'm not trying to complain! I'm just hoping to offer some feedback, as it seems like maaaaybe??? the artist is newer to drawing pets?? (I don't like to assume, but I haven't noticed other pets with a style similar to this one) ;w;
Again though, they are very nice!! Great job regardless! :) ♥

I don't see how they dont' look like SUbeta Pets.
We literally have living doodles, blobs and literal dogs with zero changes (Looking at you, Ruffie). These are totally subeta pets, and even better.
I can't wait for the next revamps!

i love them except their eyeballs are VERY Q-Poskett style and those creep me out so much lol. no very subeta-like imo. but otherwise, they are adorable and the revamps were very much needed.

The Mahar in particular reminds me of a Littlest Pet Shop toy
I think the art is actually very lovely and adorable though and I'm considering if I want to get one x:

On reflection, I think it's the eyes that bother me on these. They just don't look quite right.. the Sheeta's front legs look a little off/weird too but that might just be because I'm used to the old ones so the pose change is throwing me off, not sure.

@Jasper the Demi actually got revamped a year or so ago:
But I agree, there's definitely something distractingly different about these two. Can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm not sure I like it. They're not bad (and the Sheeta definitely needed an update) - but they don't look like Subeta pets to me.

OMG these pets are so cute! Now I feel that I need them both. I've already claim a pet slot totem from my loyalty box this year, so maybe next.

Sometimes different is good. Sometimes different is even better. I see no need to be bound to old art styles. Maybe it's everything else that needs to be updated...or maybe they can just coexist peacefully on the site because different people like different things anyway. Chibis aren't really my thing but these are adorable and I don't see anything wrong with them at all!

I'm just leaving my opinion and not complaining at all.
I like these (especially the Sheeta), but I feel they don't match the rest of the Chibi styles. These new ones seem a little out of place: larger, different style, different shading.

I love Mahars but I'm not sure I like this style. I agree that it is much different from the rest. (Something about the left ear/upper head is throwing me off?) Not complaining, really, the pose is adorable so I'll probably get one (or 4) myself anyways lol.

I loooove the chibi mahar, but I do agree with others that the art style looks a bit odd compared to other site art.
if i had enough petslots i would def still make the mahar tho

The new design for the sheeta is good and the mahar looks bratty (in a good way) but I feel these two are shaded and drawn in a completely different style from the norm, especially when compared to other chibis:
Granted, there are other chibi pets that are similar in style to the new ones--
--but if you ask me, the bottom row here looks like they're in dire need of a revamp. Their art looks dated; needing new line art, shading, eyes and anatomy and these new pets look more like them than the top row; they should look like the top row.
To put it in tattoo terms: the new pets are new school while a considerable chunk of older pets are Neo Traditonal and I prefer neo traditional over new school.
And to those who may pounce on me for being negative: I don't hate these pets. They are cute, brightly colored and actually have personality, which is awesome because these pets are often so static, but they're too overly stylized for me; it feels like they belong on a different petsite altogether and that seems counter-intuitive to the revamp/site at large. Overall they get a 7/10: good but needs some tweaks. (Maybe make the eyes a little smaller and add more details/defined shading? Maybe some darker shading on the Mahar.)

Uh they're cute and did need a revamp, don't get me wrong, but I'm just a bit bothered by how the drawing style is SO different from the other chibis. ;o;'

Wow that sheeta was in dire need of a revamp and it's turned out adorable! The mahar is awesome too

Nice!!! Hopefully this means we'll get more revamped Sheetas soon (The Common and recolour Sheetas do look a bit old). I also didn't realise we didn't have a Chibi Mahar before.

Still shows the old version for me when I'm on Safari, but I can somehow see the new Sheeta on Chrome!

gosh gosh gosh I love chibi pets SO MUCH! That mahar especially is cute as heck. I honestly wish they would make the chibi pets come in all the available colors, just because I prefer adorable doe-eyed chibis soo much.
