- Subeta

The Demi is up for a third poll!

This will probably be the last poll, and only minor changes will be made before the final version is put on the site.

Remember to keep all comments helpful and constructive. :)

i wonder when the final decision is made. somehow can't wait for it. 
 
as sidenote: 
"bunnies aren't supposed to look chubby are they?" 
eh... havn't seen a single bunny (except "real rabits" ... the ones in the fields) that did not look chubby in some way... 
they do not look slender, so they? <img src=/images/smilies/smiley_xface.gif border=0>

Nuuuu! The demi will never be the cute thing it was. I just hope it won't turn out like the Kanis did. *shudder* bunnies aren't supposed to look chubby are they?

I like the revamp's body, and shading, and such, but I DO wish the face and expression were more similar to the original Demi's.

I like everything but the lack of happiness. Where's the smile when you need it *crys*

I think this revamp is stunning. It looks much more realistic than the original, and the shading is just beautiful. I do agree that maybe it should be smiling just a little bit, but I think that the artist has done so much already to make everyone happy that I don't want to be nitpicky. 
 
I don't think the revamp leans towards looking like a particular gender, or has a pre-set personality. I think it leaves the owner with all the freedom they need to create an original character out of their pet. I would love for my Kirei to look like this and I hope the demi gets revamped soon.

Pantherwhales @

I must say I like this version much better than the old one. The shading and the more realistic rendering are stunning. 
 
I've been considering elixir'ing Augie into a demi, and if this is what they're going to end up looking like, I have no further doubts -thumbs up- 
 
Although... it really ought to be smiling... D8

I absolutely HATE, I repeat HATE the new design. 0_0 I don't want my poor Mintaroo to look like that! It looks stupid. (Just an opinion) I don't want to be harsh to the artists cause most of their art is great, but I just think this is terrible.

This new Demi looks so sad, perhaps a happy face would do it good ^^

User not found: @

I personally prefer the old Demi, because..... to me the new ones all look round and feminine. I like the way the old ones are all spiky. I suppose there is a bit of bias in this, as I have a male Demi, but.... go ahead, make your choices everyone.

I keep voting for the old demi drawing, because the new versions seem to take away that "exotic" look about them.

I chose the old one because of the cute smile and the style. 
I dunno, it has something loveable :3

i prefer the old demi. If they changed the rest but left the eyes it would be okay. I really chose the demi because of it's eyes and mischevious smile and i would hate if those were gone.

TracyH @

I think both the new and old is just darling plus the other two redraws? May K ask who is redrawing it? 
We need there to be redraws so pets can be drawn in all the colors consistantly.

Heyyyy! I was voter #2500! Haha xD 
Still like the new Demi, and it's looking pretty good. ^^ 
The hairs on the chest and inside the ears and shaggy parts would look more realistic if they were pointed. 
You know me and my realism. Hah. o.o; 
Dunno who's drawing these, but great work and WAO, kudos on your patience. O_O

User not found: @

i like this one better that revamp option 2. 
his eyes fits the demi better. 
 
but indeed, the smile is missing. 
 
i think the ears are less cute than the old demi, and somehow less fitting. 
 
(i'm not sure whether 'fitting' is the good word in this phrase, but i hope you'll understand what i mean) 
 
i wouldnt mind if this demi was going to be the next revamp. BUT, it really needs a smile.

Flikkan, that is /really/ rude. Real people draw these pets and I'm sure they don't appreciate that comment. The news said constructive criticism, and that's not being very constructive. 
 
I for one think the new demi is a very beautiful pet and I hope it's revamped very soon as I'd like to turn my pet Irvin into one.

Mandy @

I do like this one a lot better then the first one. I just miss the smile.Not sure what but something about the tail still bothers me about it. I might be fussy because demis were one of my favourites and what got me started on subeta in the first place, but in this revamp its the smile and the tail that bothers me most. As I said I don't know what it is but the tail just bothers me =/

0

Julie_803 @

This one's better than the other re-draws I've seen .. but the face still seems way too flat and it really bothers me. Demis have always been one of my favorite pets, but I just think it looks a bit odd. I can't quite place what it is though.

I actually prefer the combination of the eyes' and the mouth's expression in the new revamp. 
 
It appears to be saying: WUT? 
 
And I love it. xD

0

Andreea @

well this version is certainly much better than the first one the only thing that still bothers me a bit is that the legs and the tail are a bit far from the body unlike the old demi.Oh and I think the tail might look cuter if it was a bit shorter and bigger at the end like the old one (if that made any sense X3)

I personally think that the eyes are funky. I like the old eyes better. I like it other than that.

0

User not found: @

*Hopes Tsume is still around to read this* The thing that is still keeping me from voting for this new version is the triangular shape of the eyes. I think a rounder shape will help it regain the feel of the original Demi design.

0

Masquerade @

I still prefer the old one but that's partly because I had a parade of demi's for a while. This one is much closer to the original than the first and second redraws. *thumbs up* Good job Tsume (uh I forget your new name).

OtakuOokami @

My biggest objection to the new design is the eyes. They are too wide vertically and we lose that nice almond shape that they have in the old design. Also, the shoulders seem a bit too wide.

Scythe @

yes the new demi is beautiful but I love how the old one looks cute be dangerous because of how if fur is and how pointy is all round figure is, but he's so innocent at the same time :3

The thing about the smile... 
People were not complaining while it was still there (or at least i havn't seen a single one) but they where, when its gone. XD 
 
I like the middle way that <label title="header=User invalid body=[<center><img src="http://subeta.org/images/icons/user.gif>EternalMemory Member Name: Monica Posts: 486 "]" class="tip"><a href="/users/EternalMemory"><img src="/images/icons/user.gif" border="0">EternalMemory</a></label> "redlined" 
that isn't actually a smile, more like a neutral mouth. 
this one looks like it's mouth is frowning... but not the eyes.

User not found: @

Old Demi!! *strikes* 
 
It looks far more innocent (the old one) Where I think the new one is adding some more realistic characters to the subeta family. I mean, we all came here for cute pets, and we should keep 'em cute! (Unless your a bloodred sort, or mutant...)

I love it--that's all I have to say <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0> This demi is the BEST DEMI IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I can't wait to see it in all the colors! 
 
Poor artist(s)! I'm not sure whether the versions of the demi were drawn by more than one person or not, nor do I know who drew them, but I do know that you must have an incredible amount of patience to keep redrawing over and over again! 
 
Since there is so much confusion over which demi is best, perhaps instead of putting only two versions of demi in each poll, just put all of the versions into one? Then it would be easy to tell which of the many versions is most popular.

0

mugename @

I like this new one! It's cute! Tobe honest, I hated the first redraw, and the second still bothered me a little, but this one is MUCH better, just from the little details that were changed. I do agree that this one's expression might be a bit too... somber compared to the original (which happens to suit my demi perfectly, but I can see why others are upset) so perhaps giving it a slight smirk would be the way to go, and I dunno... maybe lower its left eybrow (like it's quirking the right) to give it more of a bemused kind of character to its face. 
 
In any case, I think the redraw has come a long way and I would not mind in the least if this one were to go through as is. A good job to everyone involved, I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates the tremendous amount of work that has been put into this redraw. Thank you!

0

Andromeda_846 @

I like it, but I think the eyes coming to a point makes it look a bit strange. Maybe round them out a bit? I also thing that the chest kind of just sticks out too much, maybe it would look better if the stomach was a little more filled in. I do feel bad for the people who have demis and spent a lot on them but don't like the new look, and it should be taken into consideration that many of the people voting don't have demis.

0

Kink @

Meow: Then they can just...not make a demi?^^ But I guess the smile isn't /that/ important. As for the tale, it looks a little stiff, but I don't mind it anymore.

0

TheLoneTiel @

I see a several slight problems, but nothing that absolutely must be changed, just things I've noticed. 
 
My major peeve is the "elbow" of the closest foreleg. The way the fluff is positioned and the closeness of the hind leg, I cannot help but see a fold in the stomach, giving the demi a rather horrible pot belly. 
 
As well, the shadow on the muzzle to me seems to give the idea of a smile, the curve looks like it is following an upturned mouth. Right now it looks awkward, as the mouth is not smiling and the muscles are. 
 
The feet also don't seem flat on the ground, both front feet are slightly twisted in. Adding a bit more of a paw, rather than having the bottom of the arm slope evenly to the tip of the toes would be helpful. 
 
I love the furry shadows, those are a great improvement. The horn is cute. It is nicely androgynous, though I think a slight smile wouldn't be out of place. Most pets have a default of "Happy" and I don't think that is a bad thing. Applying your own personality is important, but you will never satisfy everyone and I'll guess more people have their demi's with a happy (or at least capable of smiling) attitude than with blank slightly frightened expression as it has now. 
 
I'm also not sure if I like the position of the three dots on the hind leg, but I don't know quite how to fix that as the pose is so different (that is, anatomically correct) from the original to this version. 
 
Lastly, the fur on the tail goes backwards at the bottom, that seems awfully... Weird. 
 
I hope I don't seem harsh, I really do like this version (never saw the attraction of the old demi), but I'm trying to give the artist a few things to think about. Getting rid of those little tiny irritants that prevent people from getting a pet (in my case, it would be the pot belly) is important. I'm a great nitpick, that's why I rarely draw myself. 
 
It is fantastic overall, keep up the great art. =)

NovaAva @

I really, REALLY like the expression on this Demi's face. This is the first revamp that I feel captures some of the spirit of the original Demi. Please don't give it back the smile.

0

User not found: @

NOw this is much better! Love how you fixed the horn. ^^ And yup, I like better without the smile. ^^

0

angelembryo @

The lack of a smile highlights a persisting issue: the eyes are too tall/long. The current version has smaller, rounder eyes, which give it a more neutral and versatile expression (smiling or not) whereas these larger eyes tend more toward perky and cutesy. So my suggestion is to shrink the eyes a bit (and thin the base of the tail a touch, and add some variety to the tail spots by arranging them in something besides a straight line). 
 
Not that it matters, since I still prefer the old Demi and thus am obviously a lower lifeform. But whatever. Figured my final comment might as well be a critique so people won't have such an easy time twisting it out of proportion.

0

Morn @

I wasn't sure about the last one but this time I clearly prefer the old one. The smile seems to be a topic that divides the users. The new looks something between bored, depressed and annoyed. (Although I would probably like it if it was really annoyed. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0> )

http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r182/EternalMemory/Demiredline.gif 
 
I think it should be in the middle a bit so some people can have a smile, and some won't.(If that makes sense)

0

Dhevix @

This is faaar better than the first revamp attempt. 
 
I must say this isn't my favorate style, but this 'new' Demi seems to have more life & character than before, I love the facial expression, it looks just how I imagine the Demi's character should be! I think I might need a Demi if this revamp goes through.

I dont think I like the New Demi..The old one looks like its drawn better =/ This one seems kind of blurry and not-so new

Just my two cents, I really, really hope you don't add back the smile =/ They look so lovely with that facial expression.

0

User not found: @

I like the new revamp better. It looks new, and fits in with the other pets better. I think the Demi was due for a revamp. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0> And I love the look of it's eyes - they seem exotic in a way.

0

Klokwork @

The new Demi has a Mona Lisa smile...If you look closely at the mouth, the shading gives it a slight upturn at the corner of the mouth--if you want your Demi to be smiling, there it is, and if you don't then it isn't there. 
 
(sorry if I'm making no sense to anyone else, I am ill right now.)

JennLee @

I like this revamp the best, but the eye is still bothering me a little. The Demi looks almost scared or startled... maybe change the shape of the eyes a little so it looks less like a deer caught in the headlights? 
 
I'll be voting for the revamp anyway. 
 
Well done, and thanks for putting up with us.

I think this new demi looks great and people should be thankful for Tsume to making as many changes/redraws as she did to try and satisfy everyone.

MUCH better. I love this one. 
 
Perhaps if you want to make the dissenters happy, you can lower and shorten the eyes a bit and add back the smile. But otherwise, this one is awesome. The puffiness and way-too-fluffiness of the other one is gone <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>.

User not found: @

while i admit to having enjoyed the old demi much more, i do recognise the time for change. this is a much better redraw then the original attempt. but the tail still looks a litte awkward to me. I don't know if its just not curvy enough or what but one side looks a little too flat. 
 
as for the smile thing - i prefer it with out one. it helps this way to give you pets personality.

0

TAkaidUn @

like I said before, this one may be new and I know some of you like the older one but this one IS cleaner with the lines. but it would be nice if the eyes were a bit, cuter? and this one's not smiling. why can't it smile? what happened to it?

0

Ophelia_886 @

This is absolutely lovely. It really does give the impression of being a revamp of the old demi, instead of a complete alteration. Granted, I didn't need to be won over quite as much as everyone else - I voted for the previous revamp too. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0> 
In particular, I love the new warmth to the shading and the similarity in pose and expression to the original. As for the smile, I personally don't see what all these critics are talking about, but at least it's an easy edit. The expression is wonderfully coy, the shading is classy, the horn is centered, the curve of the tail is natural and its base is not icky and thin any longer. 
What's not to love? <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>

thesleepingrose @

Unfortunately, Meow, like I said before, this revamp IS showing too much emotion to me. It will always appear scared to me, and I'm not the only one to have mentioned it. 
Perhaps make it less wide-eyed, then, instead of bringing back the smile?

0

User not found: @

The shading is really nice on the new one, the Demi looks a lot fluffier.

0

User not found: @

I really, really like it without the smile. A blank expression is much more useful to me when coming up with a personality for my pet, and the old expression looked a little disjointed and out of place to me anyway. 
 
I really hope that the smile doesn't come back.

And having just woken up my spelling is terrible and I apologize. XD

Meow @

That's the whole point Julie, what is someone else doesn't want there demi to be sly and coy? The somewhat vague expression helps to allow people to attach their /own/ emotion or personality preference to the pet.

0

User not found: @

I still prefer the old demi, as it has a lovely punky look to it, and an adolescent attitude that the new one does not encompass... But I'll tolerate the new one, as it seems it's going to win anyways (*sigh*), if the expression on it's face is changed to be more sly and coy like the old one's. A smirk and the eyebrows lowered so it doesn't look like it's so surprised.

Meow @

I was under the impression that revamps would not be showing to much emotion so that the pets would not be so.. stero-typical? Like how the more defined smirk was taken off the telenine. Emotions are more expressed through the use of special colors, i.e. Spectrum, Bloodred, Dark Matter and Angelic.

Nuclear @

What happened to the smile? 
This revamp is insanely beautiful. I love the detail the new one has compared to the old one. It just looks more... real.

0

badger @

I like the way the horn now merges in more with the head, unlike the second revamp, however, like many others, I do miss that slight smile. This Demi just appears so sullen, it's like it's had all the life zapped out of it. BUT, even without the smile I've noticed it still looks rather cute and 'innocent' almost ;D

The old Demi is just the best and you should revamp other pets, that are much uglier than the cute old demi!!

I far prefer the old. D= Old! D= I love the old one... I'm a fiend for Demi's.. 
 
If I had to say something constructive I'd probably say I'd change the two feet closest to the viewer... Simply because they look a tad on the slant towards the viewer... But I still majorly prefer the old one.

0

Octo @

I prefer the old smile, too. I love the new color MUCH better than the old, and the mane is beautiful! I think the horn should be a little longer. I hate the tail, though. It's too...scrawny?

0

Oasis @

I think the Demi should be mixture of both old and new. I like the fluffy mane and its bright eyes. But you need to fix the smile back as the new expression looks too blank. 
 
And on top of that, why does the front feet look like its sticking up slightly? They need to be put back down.

0

thesleepingrose @

I agree that this one looks worried and scared without the smile. I think the forelegs being apart add to that, it makes it look like it's preparing to run away. 
Something about the hairline doesn't seem quite right, but I can't put my finger on what exactly it is - sorry that this is not a terribly constructive comment. 
And it may be just me, but does anyone else feel that if it turned its head face on, it's right ear would appear larger than the left? I suspect that's just me though... 
 
I would like to add that if this version wasn't a replacement for the old, I'd think it was perfect <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>

User not found: @

ARRG. I'm so sorry to be negative again when the artist is obviously trying so hard! Gotta say it looks more soft and less dark than before, but what has happened to it's mouth? I actually preferred the one before, where it's mouth shape looked more like the original. But that's personal taste I suppose, but it would return the cuteness appeal to the pet. 
 
I might end up changing my demi now to some other species... shame... we'll see how it turns out. I will miss MysticCookie's design very much. <img src=/images/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif border=0>

nada @

This one is so much better than the first try. Yay for artist improvement! ^^ *ahem* 
The things I don't like is that the tail is a little far from the body and the shading makes it look too fluffy; the other thing is the expression. I liked the expression on the second one (in the "Demi Part Deux" poll), the eyes really shined and the little smile made it look cuter.

User not found: @

Let me preface my comments that I am a horrible artist and couldn't draw to save my life... but since we are asked for comments, here it goes. 
 
I agree that the horn is a little short. 
 
The tail shoots out a little too far from the body. 
 
The smile I thought was cuter and the eyes look a little zoned out. Not as sweet. 
 
Beyond that the improvements are great. The body proportions look much better.

User not found: @

The new Demi is really good but for my taste, the mane behind the Horn is a little bit too bushy, too high or the Horn must a little bit bigger, like the old one.

0

Flame @

Comparing the new and old one again, it's not so much the smile I like, but the way the eyes look RIGHT AT YOU. This one is staring off into space somewhere.... you lose that sense of connection and immediacy. 
 
I wouldn't mind the revamp so much if that was changed. 
 
I've been holding off on getting a Demi till I saw how this went through.

0

Akele @

I too will miss the smile, but the anatomy looks correct.

0

Luckymax @

Yes! This is the one! The anatomy seems correct, shading is perfect and it seems to just fit better. This is the first new demi I voted for.

Flame @

It IS getting better, but I miss the mischievous look of the old one and the "cuter" lines of its face.. and... the eye color isn't as pretty... 
 
but much better overall. but I still had to vote for the old. and... why give us a poll if they tell us it'll change regardless? Why not just ask for comments on the new look?

this one is better then the other revamps, but I would like it better if it had a smile still

This one is much much better. I think the last one was too clownish, but if the demi /has/ to change, I think this is best change that could be asked for. Kudos to the artist.

Vanilla @

I find the old Demi much cuter as it is smiling and i'm really attatched to the old one. Although the new one looks more real, the old one has this adorable look to it. I'd be horrified if my Demi did not smile at me in its oh-so-cute way.

Mehh... I like the new one - the lines are smoother, it's hair (fur) looks glossier - a sleeker, more up-to-date verson... It's good!

User not found: @

I like this demi revamp. Although... the tail still bothers me a bit. It looks a bit square, probably because of the fur sticking out near the bottom or because it's too far from teh body. 
 
I do like the expression; it's a lot more natural.

0

Bagheera23608 @

Im no artist so I usually dont say much about these things. I do like the new one better, with the exception that I liked the smile/smirk that was there before. But thats just my opinion! Good job!

0

User not found: @

very nice, very nice! 
the fur looks less glossy and more realistic now, and i think it'll fit in much better with the other pets. 
 
the tail bothers me though- 
i don't think the bristley fur should be on the underside of the tail, but instead on the top... 
as in, the side closest to the demi. does that make sense? xD 
 
it would look much better plus be anatomically correct. 
the tail could also be pulled in closer to the demi, too, so that it doesn't look so stiff and long. 
 
i quite like the expression on its face, i think it suits the demi much better, and it also resembles the old demi's shy smile. 
 
you did great, tsume~

0

Aurora @

I like this one quite a lot, the one thing that bugs me is the mouth. ..As others have already said. Even the last revamp poll had a bit of a 'smile'. Just in my opinion, I think that should be added back. ..Otherwise, great revamp. =3

0

Jasper @

I definitely liked the previoys remake more than this one. All that crap about the horn "floating" well, they got that in spades now. It looked better when you could tell that the horn was coming out of the head. The lack of smiling is no problem if you ask me. It adds just a tad realism. (Also, people, there's fanart... Learn to draw!) 
 
I personally found nothing wrong with the old remake but then again, this is a species I couldn't care less about. This new look will definitely please old demi fans but honestly, don't tweak it anymore. It's fine as is.

0

Shibuya @

I think it looks really good. I like the expression more than a smile, really. The tail does need a little pulling in, but not too much. 
 
People who whine about having to revamp are silly. Whether you like it or not, one way or another, it's getting redrawn. So you'd best find something to like~

0

Buffy @

Well I'm still against a new demi....but if we're changing anyway...I think the mane is still too fluffy..it should be a little....sharper I guess...and the tail is also too fluffy, it needs to be streamlined and pulled in a bit...I am glad they pulled the muzzle in (the last version looked too dog-like...) althought it might be pulled in a tad more....and I like the mouth on this one...I didn't like the smirk on the last one.. :/

0

Obaba @

I miss the smile as wel, but the points about the horn looking detached, overly glossy shading and tail have are addressed and improved. I equate this to the Torrent revamp as far as an update goes. 
It's a look of quality that makes Subeta different from other sites. Even if the looks vary due to the artists' style, there is a certain level of polish to be expected.

User not found: @

the art on the newer version is definetly better, but I agree that the head and expression on the current version look much better aswell. 
 
The current version looks happy and cute - but the new Demi looks kind of scared or something. 
 
Id suggest making the eyes a tad bigger, but less wider. Mouth longer in a smirk <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif border=0> and muzzle a bit shorter.

0

User not found: @

Well, I like this one... but the last one had that cute little smile...

0

MenacingK @

I definitely agree about the smirk on the old version. It gave it this look I love. Also, the fluff at the chest of this one is too puffy for me. It's almost like a bust line. If that could be pulled in a tad, I'd be really happy.

Pink @

its looks all-around great with or without its smile...

Alien_Pikachu @

I like the current demi a lot better but if you changed this one a tiny bit more I might like it more than the current one but I doubt it. 
 
I like the different shades of colours but I don't really like the design of it, it looks sort of like its wild....Sorry if I'm offending anyone with what I'm saying but I'm just telling you guys how I really feel about this picture=S

Wist @

What I really loved about the current demi was the spirit and life in its eyes. In contrast, this one is a lot more subdued, and ... the shadow under its muzzle reminds me a little of a 5 o'clock shadow. 
 
The shape of the current demi's head is a definite bonus for me. The elongated features on the new one don't really appeal. 
 
I do like the way the new one has been drawn and shaded though. The tail, paws and pose has definitely been improved. What I would really love is for the new version to have the spark of the old one. Maybe a longer line for the mouth, or a slight change in the shape of the head and eyes?

Zansabar @

Compared to the old one this one looks far to harsh. 
If the mouth was angled a fracture of a bit higher it would be more of the spirit of the older one. But I like the color blending better on this on.

FrouFrou @

Eek, I actually loved the gloss on the last one, but I don't mind this new one too much. ^___^ I love the face and the tail *hugsquish* But I miss the grin and the mright eye on the old one... <img src=/images/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif border=0>. I really liked that mischevious look it had, and I really don't think pets should all have that emotionless look, even if it makes them easier to work with. Because then it'd get a little boring. : 
 
I'm a little irked at the fluff beside the feet, though, and the way it looks like the 'hair (?)' is thick at the head, but it gets reaaaallly small at the end of the back. It gives the demi the look like it has a really heavy front, and I really like it better in the old one, when it looks more even. ^___^; 
 
but I still vote for the new one, cause everything else is pretty ^^

0

Wingsrising @

Personally I think it would be nice with more of a smile like the old one had. I like that the fur on the tail goes the right way now, but I liked the dreads on the first revamp better. The head looks MUCH better but still looks a little as if it's been squashed to me. I'm not an artist so I'm not sure how to fix that -- turn the head a little more towards the viewer, maybe? 
 
This is by far the best of the revamp versions, but I still voted for the old one.

I don't mind the new version at all (I even voted for it) but what I'll miss most about the old one is that exact expression... ;___;

Nestly: Will it ever end! xD Well since everything was just getting so serious in the last post, lets go for a little humor this time. (Since people won't change thier minds no matter what I say and just argue with everything. XD) 
 
D'aaaaw, the poor Demi lost it's smile! D8 What happened? All those people chase off it's charming happiness now? X3 .....That's, all I can really tell that changed at all. and I liked it when it was smiling. But it's fine, don't sweat it. xD *can't stand seeing all these stubborn people* 
 
Maaaan, I'd seriously consider getting a Demi if this's used. D8

The new Demi is great! =O Never got to commenting about the tail fur going the other way, but I'm glad to see it's fixed. =D 
 
Though I suppose the same could be said about the fur on the legs, how the bottom goes up and the top goes down... 'course I wouldn't've noticed that if it weren't for the tail, just thought I might point it out even though it looks fine as is too. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0> 
 
I loves yer artwork! ^^

User not found: @

I like the new one overall a lot better, but the new one doesn't seem as happy as the old one. I think the new needs to have some sort of smile, or happy facial expression, rather then a "Huh?" look on the face.

User not found: @

I agree with Rikkuliam - I like the old one,but it fits in better with the redone style. I like the shading on this new one better than the other one..but a little bit of emotion (maybe just a tiny hint of a smile?) wouldn't hurt? 
 
Oh well,either way, it looks very nice.

0

Coronaviridae @

Oh, much better, bravo! You've taken pretty much all the complaints I've seen about it and revised the art to suit. Thank you. As Justin already said, it no longer looks plastic at all--I too would like to see the hint of a smile back, but the facial expression isn't a gamebreaker for me. 
 
My only lingering nitpick is the little band of darker shadow defining the upper contour of the muzzle--for some reason that pops out at me and it's bugging me. If you could just remove that, I think it would be much better. 
 
And I repeat my plea that the new Arid Demi get purple/magenta eyes. XD <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif border=0> Wonderful job, Tsu'pire.

0

Gem @

Yay, the face is much better! I agree with maybe lowering the eyebrow a little more, because it is definitely lower than it was last time. Maybe a hint of the old smirk at the corner of the mouth? Overall though, it looks pretty goo.d <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>

0

User not found: @

Ahh... I like this one... only changes I would make would be adding some expression (although I'm thinking a very slight "I know something you don't know" smirk) and rounding the tail a bit... I like this furry look, but I prefer the actual shape of the older version's tail.

User not found: @

I'm going to vote new because overall, it's an improvement I feel the Demi needs. However, I'm going to miss the Demi having been one of the more petite species. I see the adjustments that have been made are to make it more anatomically believable, but they beef it up quite alot at the same time. And I'm going to miss the wide, jewelled look of the old eyes..This taller, egg-shaped look just doesn't do it for me. Otherwise, I love the new version of the dreadlocky mane, and I love how reminiscent of a lion it is now. I'd never considered it in that light before. I used to think of it more as a spin off a monkey..Perhaps it could be given raccoon like feet to broaden Subeta's assortment of creatures?

Just like the last pet I love the colouring and such but the feet! They really bug me for some reason .__.
