I Dont like it at all x-x
The new head is kind of growing on me; if the eyes are made more triangular, I can probably feel somewhat content with the revamp.
<br>
<br>The entire body, except for the tail, however.. I just... no. D: The old common Canis was so much more lean and... un-fat. Someone mad a comment about users wanting anorexic pets. I don't think this is the case at all. The current Canis is in no way anorexic; it's fit and healthy. Rabbits are always bouncing around.. and that's what I'd half-expect a Canis to do; be really lively and active... which would give them a really lean body structure, surely. Not only is the new body somewhat chubby.. the shape and positioning of the legs look just as awkward as the current Canis.. and yet... they appeal to me less that the original. o_O I don't think anyone on Subeta wants to support the creation of malnourished-looking pets. If anything, I'd assume most Subeta users are pretty passionate about animals, and would hate to se them under-fed. I think those of us who are calling for what seems like an inevitable revamp, to incorporate the lean, athletic build of the old Canis, since it really does help with the whole.. "I'M CUTE, HYPERACTIVE, AND BOUNCE AROUND A LOT," thing. ^^;
<br>
<br>As I said.. the head's not too bad.. if the eyes were made more triangular and true to the original Canis and the Spectrum Canis.. I'd be happy with it. The fatter ears are quite cute, and consistent with the BR.
<br>
<br>I just really, really would love to see the entire body's shape and pose, altered. Dramatically. More lean, and keep the stepping forward pose. Taller. The old Canis has quite long legs. Even the Angelic and Spectrum Canises have longer legs than this Common.
<br>
<br>I also like the shading on the head... but again, am not so keen on the colouring on the body; it seems a bit havy.. perhaps because the difference between the shades of blue is so dramatic; perhaps make the shading a little more subtle?
<br>
<br>I'd also like to see the Reborn Canis made taller.. the stubbyness of its legs has alays bothered me.. because it gives the body a longer appearance and makes me think; "sausage dog!" ... but.. the Reborn was only just drawn, so it hardly needs updating now. ^^;

I think it looks fat. Babies are usually pudgy, and it looks either suprized or terrified. I suddest making it look sleeker, and the ears smaller. =/ baby canies are to be cute, the basic is to be... basic.
I voted new. The old one always looked childish and strange to me. xD
<br>
<br>I think the eyes could be better, but other than that, I think it's lovely. <33 Great job, Rah.

Its so cute! <33333333333333333333
I hope if they new version is voted in, it wont affect the Angelic one... since Rah mentioned she wa trying to model the new one after the Angelic one..
<br>I love my angelic canis too much to see it changed.
Erm...is it just me, or are all pets on Subeta having closed mouths now? I find this interesting. not a bad crit on you, Rah...it just seems to be a trend ^^
<br>
<br>What's wrong with the velosotor the way it is? 0.0
<br>
<br>Yes, yes, I know....sit down, shut it and throw away the key, Neko....lolz...... :X

Good God... that has to be the single cutest thing in subeta <33333 glomps rah Rah... you are plain genius! xDI have one tiny tiny tiny crit though, it kinda bothers me that he has no line between his head and his neck, so he kinda looks like he has a double chin, ._. BUT I CAN LIVE WITH IT!!!!!! I love this so much i hope it wiiiiins! sniff ._.
I don't know...what prevents me from 100% liking the new Canis (even though I voted for the revamp) is the pose. It's the same static pose that the new Telekine is in; standing on all four legs with the held tilted to look at the screen.
<br>
<br>I'd personally love to see this new Canis in a pose that's a lot like the old Canis, but not so much like the old Canis that it doesn't have the same flaws.
<br>
<br>...and I feel like I'm probably parroting what other people are saying in the older comments. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sweatdrop.gif border=0>

<br>
<br>Telenine = Already has a revamp poll.
<br>Escalade = Already has a revamp poll.
<br>Torrent = Already has a revamp poll.
<br>Feli = The second most popular pet in Subeta.
<br>
<br>I'll agree with you on the Velosotor, though.
I love the new one but I liked it that the old one was all happy and excited. This one does look worried. I do like the new paws though but for now I guess I'll stick with old.
Hmm, it looks slightly worried, which is a big change from the old one, which was all "I'm so happy, let's dance!" Perhaps not that drastic a change and more people would like it?
<br>
<br>The shading is excellent, and the ruff is very floofy :3 But the ears look overlarge, like giant socks. And the head is an odd oval-shape. And the front legs seem too stiff. The thick lines really do make it look blocky - the Angelic Canis, which doesn't have that problem, seems much cleaner and softer.

The personality of the old one is much nicer. The new one lacks the action and energy of the old. If the new one had a brighter, happier face it would sell me. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>

I like the the old one better than the new, but the coloring is MUCH better on this one, but the old one has cuter feet and cuter eyes. you should just recolor the old one. it'd make it look better.

I lurve the bunny!
User not found:
I love it! its so cute...I liked the old one but I always found it to happy...and also this one is more rabbitish which I like...I thought the old one had to big of paws and it legs were to long...so yah I voted new XD
<br>P.S. Rabbits have small paws and short legs! so yah...this is much better!
Wow yea, Mystic's suggestions were awesome. It's cute but I totally think that they would help the new Canis look totally awesomer, Rah. x3 <3
Can I quickly add that perhaps the fur ruff on it's chest be a little more prominent? I love the floofehness of that fur! ^^
<br>Okay...shutting up now. :X
I DO like both of them....oh, it's so hard to vote!
<br>*sigh* But I went with old,...why? Because; like the Keeto, Kora and Tigrean...the Cani were the first pets I saw and loved them from the start.
<br>
<br>But the revamp....WOW...except for the eyes, which I loved larger, it IS very cute and more in step with the other specialty colors for this pet.
<br>
<br>However...if anyone even THINKS of touching the Chibi....*growls and shows teeth* Come on guys, let's please not change that one.
<br>(I know, I wax a little too long on all possible chibi redraws....sowwy!) <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif border=0>

I like the old canis better. I think the new canis should be the new chibi canis. That's why I voted for the old canis n.n.
<br>
<br>P.s sorry for any typos I'm not on the computer (blackberry) xD.
Rah, this version would be like perfect if the eyes and paws were fixed a little, cause those are the main things hat bugged me :x I do luff the tail, it is verry floofy. Nikki`d just hate to see the old one go :x But she does like the new one besides those few little things and chubby pets are cute guys xD
User not found:
Yeah... I thought it was a revamped version of the Chibi Canis too ^^;;
<br>
<br>It looks a lot like Bugs Bunny, to me XD Even though I prefer the old one... I love this one's tail <33 It's so cute!
Rah STAFF
Mystic, your comments are awesome, and I can totally work with all of them n__n
<br>
<br>I tried to make this CONSISTENT with the angelic canis, because that seemed to be everyones favourite. If I can direct you guys to the Main forum, you may notice a discussion, 'opinions on the canis' - i used that to see what people might want from a new canis. And that was mostly to have it resemble the angelic, and look less hyperactively happy <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>
<br>
<br>Now, I personally would love to make this completely bunny-like, but Kelpie has not sanctioned that! She wanted it to keep it's dog like legs (that apparantly bend into bunny legs when the lil guy sits down!) because she doesn't like pets being based off of just ONE animal <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>
<br>
<br>And um...Canises are babyish in my opinion. They're top halves are bunnies :p They're supposed to be cute. And believe me, I CAN make it cuter :p But there were problems with the eyes, and we thought we'd nailed it, but obviously not!
<br>
<br>As far as the paws go - I was trying to make them like the angelic canis's paws, but I guess I went a little TOO small xD
<br>
<br>As far as the neck goes, I thought the old one looked a bit 'pasted on', so I wanted to show that it actually had one :p
<br>
<br>Um, I think that's all I wanted to say for now! Thanks for all of your suggestions <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>
That face is darling and OMGoodness whar is wrong with a chubby little pet. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0>. It is Like some of you want to see Anorexic Pets. You all need to go to Rah's DA and look at how awesome her work here and it is nothing against Eveee but Eveee is not here anymore. She is busy with her website.
User not found:
Hmmm. Everyone says this one looks like a dog, but all I keep seeing is a kitten with big ears and a fuzzy tail?
<br>I can't decide on this poll. I really don't like either version of the canis mostly for reasons already stated. I'm actually for a redraw, but maybe not this one.
<br>
Yes, I agree with Cookie and Sora; the face is too babyish, and the pose (head turned backward, eyes looking foreward) is FAR too trite and frankly dumb looking.
<br>Cookie has great ideas posted there; especially the chin and the midriff lines.
<br>I'll hold off voting for a while..
Voted old.
<br>
<br>I don't like the face. It's kind of out there. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_whatthe.gif border=0>
Nice nice, I was hopping the canis would get a revamp, its nice to see Eevee's pets redone, no offense to her, but we have pleanty of staff artists now :3
<br>
<br>I really prefer this over the old canis, it has more refreshing shading, more shape, and looks a lot more canine, and not just some long legged bunny :3 Kudos to the artist
User not found:
Eh, it looks like it's eaten one too many carrots... it's kind of chubby. >> I vote old.
User not found:
I think the outlining of this new one is way too thick, too. = It looks way more.. I don't know. Cartoony? Than the old one. =( And the old one looked so happy. ^^
I much prefer this new version. I was hoping Rah would redraw the Canis. The other one was outdated and all other outdated pets have been eradicated or polled or whatever. I don't think this means Angelic or Graveyard Canises will be changed, It may mean the Chibi will be updated and frankly I think it needs it.
<br>Mystic totally rocked the Angelic and The Graveyard so I think they should not be touched.
<br>Also Rah's Reborn, Hydrus and Bloodred are perfection as well.
<br>I think if more people knew the Graveyard and Angelic wouldn't be touched the poll would be in favor of the revamp.
Ok since Canises are one of my favourite pets and this directly affects me I'll just point out some things that could be changed.
<br>
<br>I'm not all "OMG NOO don't change!" I kinda like it, it could do with some tweaks though.
<br>
<br>1. As others have said, I think the paws should be bigger, it just seems unbalanced otherwise.
<br>
<br>2. I strongly dislike the thik outlines around the marking bands on it's legs and on the ears, if these were thinner or a shade of dark blue I think it would look much better.
<br>
<br>3. The position of the toes on the right front paw, make it look like it's facing more towards us than it should. I think they should be moved over to the left a bit more.
<br>
<br>4. It's midriff is a bit shapeless? I think it could either do with a curve in the back or in the stomach, it looks a bit planky and stiff now.
<br>
<br>5. This bothers me most, when I looked at it first it looked like it had a double chin! I think the line that connects the left half of it's face to the muzzle should be lower and reach further into the neck...if you know what I mean? ^^"
<br>
<br>6. The ears are cute that big, but I would like to see more of the inside of the ears a bit.
<br>
<br>7. The eyes are a bit starey...I think there should be like a little bit or eyelid...only a tiny bit...like a lenghening of the back eye line or the top...( if you understand this you're awesome xD)
<br>And it would be nice if the pupil was dark blue instead of a great big black blob! ^^"
<br>
<br>It's a shame to see the dynamic happy Canis go...but since it never fitted the character of my Canis anyway I don't really mind.
<br>
<br>I'm not going to vote yet, but if you do tweak the things I meantioned Rah, I'm all for the new one! ^^
<br>
<br>
Now that you mention it, it does look more like the BR Canis.
<br>I really didn't like the Bloodred Canis' revamp. I guess that's why I don't care for this one either. >.>; Though I definately like it more than the newer Bloodred, at least.
User not found:
I chose the old one for many of the reasons people have already listed here. I liked the paws, ears and facial expression far better. I even preferred the shading.
<br>
<br>I love the tail and hind end on the new one, but I just don't like it otherwise.
<br>
<br>I too would be hesitant to adopt one if the revamp goes through, and I hope that the things mentioned here are taken into account if the poll remains close.

I love the chubbier butt and legs and what-not. But, I prefer old and voted as such. : D
User not found:
cute. But I preffer the old version. the ears look too big for my taste and the nose/mouth too small.
<br>The old version looks more energetic.
<br>Now I just need a BR canis...
This one does look more like a dog, I like the old canis, an I`d hate for the Angelic one to get Revamped, the old one looks as if it has more energy and charecter.
User not found:
I love the new version, it looks very cute and more life like.
User not found:
thats cute ,cool but i like the old one better!!!
ET
Though this version is pretty cute, I voted for old because it just had more energy and it had a soul and it was done by one of my favorite artists ^^;;. The back leg showing looks funny and not very proportional, making the way it bends look painful. Also, the paws are small and I loved the huge paws on the old ^^;;. I'm sorry artist, but I voted for old
If you look at the Bloodred Canis:
<br>
<br><img src="http://www.subeta.org/pets/canis_bloodred.gif" border="0">
<br>
<br>And the new revamped of the canis, you see that their structure is much alike. (rounded paws for example)
<br>
<br>Also, I see more dog in this one than rabbit.
It IS cute, but I prefer the old one... the paws of this one are... weird Oo
cute~ but I like the old one better <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy_sweatdrop.gif border=0>
... <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0>
<br>
<br>Whilst this is really, really cute... I actually prefer the old one.. like.. by a lot. :/ I prefer the old Canis' flat, triangular paws.. and the head and eye shape. I kind of prefer the colouring on the old Canis, too. ^^;
<br>
<br>The proposed new Canis has a really nice tail, though. XD
<br>
<br>I totally... totally prefer the old, though.
<br>
<br>... And now I feel like a mean person. D:
It amuses me that so many people are saying it looks More bunnyish, when I have to say it's strongly veering to the canine. The pose, the length of leg, the visible neck...all these are canid features. If you want a bunny, shorter legs, no visible neck. It's cute, but the eyes are what really bugs me, since they are big, oval, chibi eyes. if they just had a bit of cheek under both of them, instead of just the one side, I'd probably like the face better. It's cute, just not to my tastes.
The new art style has been cute, but I really think the old Canis has got more flair than this one. I've noticed on a few of the newer re-vamps that the poses are very static; this is no exception. The old Canis' pose is much better, and honestly I kind of like the art a little better. The ears are a bit big, and the feet are slightly small on this one .. but otherwise it's a nice drawing. I just really think the old one is better.

It's cute, and it's a really nice drawing and all, but I'm definetly going to say the old one is better. I don't think I'd keep my canis if it got this revamp :/. Nothing personal, just not the type of pet I'd want. I thought the Canis was perfectly fine the way it is.
...That is the cutest thing. Ever. <3333
<br>
<br>My only concern is that it /does/ look a bit chibi and too bunny. I always pictured the Canis as a rabbit/dog hybrid. Just make the paws bigger and I'm totally fine with it. :'D
