Wow this brought me back to like 2007, I remember wearing the serpent items a lot back then! :D Love the revamps.

ooooh these look great! (and yesss - furry arms would be a great future item release :D) I have to admit, I do prefer the old Opal snake (the revamp's colouring is a little too subtle IMO), but otherwise I love these.

My love of nagas meant I already had all the scales in my wardrobe thankfully because those prices in the market are high for some of the colors!

Of course, as soon as I go to buy some, people have marked them up by several million sP more than what they're actually sold for in shops...

I've had most of these stashed in my wardrobe for a long time. They look great and I'm glad they got a revamp even if I won't use them.

Nice artwork but sad about the scales. The old ones had a defined shape where as the new ones look more like a blob of something. The swirl has been lightened too so now it is less defined. Just over all not as ascetically pleasing to me :( Upside more room in my gallery ^_^;

I'm normally on to snag things as they revamp, but I missed this by about 15 minutes lol no problem, I'm glad other people could get the Opal Scale before it rose

Still not a huge fan of the Telenine tails though I do think they look far better now.
The scales on the other hand! Oh the opal serpent scale...! <3

Telenine tails did need a revamp, but the scales were just fine the way there were...
There are other more important items in need of a revamp, so why go and fix something that doesn't need fixing?

I totally dislike the serpent tails, the original sleek look was far better, these totally suck glad I'm not messing with wardrobe (or the site) much anymore, it's just more disappointment.

I love these but some of the artistic choices are disappointing. Like with the Lucky Graveyard Telenine Tail: why are it's claws missing? You remembered to add them to the bloodred version and it's not like they're missing on the actual pet so... what gives?
Speaking of the paws: The toes all seem rather oddly shaped/placed; what with this large, bulbous toe stuck awkwardly in the middle of two very tiny digits. I understand adding another new toe is out of the question (w/o an entire pet revamp) but can we fix the sizes of these toes? Seems like a simple edit: reducing the size of the middle toe. The old designs didn't have that problem and it's so distracting that I literally can't look at anything else.
I'm also going to be sad when the expressive, stylized head's are eventually revamped to match their pets because, once again, we're going to be losing a lot of expression on a pet/item for realism's sake and I genuinely hate that when it happens. Speaking of expressions though: I forgot how awesome the bloodred telenine's face was before it was toned down with it's revamp. This set reminded me of that:
I know most of this is moot because you're changing them anyway but since you are, could we please get midsections and arms to match? Yes, I can see the arm details added on the two heads above but one of the reasons why these sets were hardly ever used was because it's awkward to just have a tee-shirt be stuck in the middle with human arms sticking out. We also couldn't match the fur tones/colors with the avatars available at the time (and still can't.)
As for the serpent scales... I'm divided. While I like how the avatar "sits" on the new scales and certainly don't hate the new art, I actually prefer the smoother look of the old version more. The bloodred one in particular seemed to have more blood that was more noticeable. Still, they're not the worst of the two. These are leagues above the bird suit/boot revamps. (I'm still bitter about those.) But just like with the telenine sets, I just hope we can get some items that can replicate the color patterns throughout the rest of body, for those who want a uniformed naga look.

Would've loved to get some more colors of telenine tail with this revamp... hopefully down the road we will. :sob:

This is the way I think all revamps should be done, if you are going to revamp rather than retire and release the new version. They are faithful to the shape, style and feel of the original, but with better art. I hate it a lot when people decide to get "creative" with revamps and make them look incredibly different from the original (or create an entirely new item, such as turning Keith's plushies into other characters instead of just taking his name off, or making a book about stalking a celebrity into a wholesome family memoir), but these are nice.

Have the Telenine Fangs that go with these bottoms been revamped yet? If not can't wait for them to get revamped as well so they will match the new revamped bottoms.

These look excellent! They're faithful, but the shading is so much more detailed and nice. I'm so glad I bought a set of serpent scales a few months back!

I enjoy these revamps overall, but if I am being honest I mostly love the item art for the scales. They're just so soft and pretty looking.

The scutes look more realistic now and the scales are more defined. Very nice. I was just thinking a few days ago how it'd be nice the serpent scales got a revamp. I've never used the tails, but they look nice, too.

Lol these have been in my wardrobe collecting dust for so long, I can't even recognize what changed about them. :)

Snagged the ones I was missing from my wardrobe, and the ones I needed for TC's before the prices shoot up. Great job to the artist that revamped these, the texture on the serpent scales is awesome!

hmmmm i like the new shape but i prefer the old colouring for the opal scale, i'll prob grow to like it because they overall do look better! i always loved them but they were a bit outdated and i basically only used the opal :')
