Also, I'm pretty sure Velocirapt isn't it's new name.. in fact I'm pretty sure the Velosotor isn't getting a name change, I think that it VELOCIRAPT was just posted as a funny... as in 'OH NO IT'S THE VELOCIRAPT..(oh wait... it's not a velociraptor, it's a) Velosotor.
I just wanna point out a few reasons why I didn't vote for old. It's not because the old one isn't cute, it is. But there are so many things anotomically wrong with it that can't be excused by style. It was just not a great drawing. Broken legs, arm to close to the leg, the unattached head, and the short body, as illustrated.
<img src="http://www.worldsaga.net/art/whynew.jpg" border="0">
I'm not trying to tell people how to vote, but I find it kind of hard to believe that one can't at least acknowledge that the new art is better drawn.
And while I'm at it, there are a few anotomical issues with this one. Not glaring, but I suppose this should at least be somewhat helpful. <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_dead.gif border=0> The arm seems a little too close to the leg. Maybe that can be stretched out a bit? And like other people have said, the head might look better if there wasn't a bump back there. That's stylistic, though.
In any case, this is the revamp I've been waiting for forever. XD And even if there are tweaks to be made to the new one, it's MUCH CLOSER to what the standard of art should look like on Subeta. Excellent work.

Over all, I think it is a very nice revamp. I'm not too into the stripes on it's eyebrow... they make it look very feminine, but it generally looks masculine, therefore it reminds me of a crossdresser. XP I don't really like it's expression either, it looks far too happy. Perhaps a less angled mouth? Other than that, it is by far better than the old one, and the art is beautiful.
Omg. I love the new one.
o_O
You guys make me want to get one when it's finally revamped. (I guess there will be a second poll because ... yeah, it's always the same if a pet gets revamped. xD complaining, critism and only little bits of good and helpful comments)

The Velosotor body is much better than the old one, but I really dislike the head and neck. The Neck is too long and I don't like the way it joins to the head and the head is a too large for the small body and just does not have a good expression on it.

The head appears to be a blob to me.. And why all the name changes? The first claw on the front back foot looks odd to me. It's far too curved compared to the front claw.
I like it, but I'd like it more if the head were a bit smaller.
Why the name change? I like the old name much much better.

I'll miss the old one. It looks.. dainty, and that's quite something for a giant predatory lizard. This one looks more muscly, which I don't really like. Nice art, thouhg.

Ew, I love the old one. ¬¬ this one is just to fake smile, to mucley, I liked the fact it had a long tail and girly features, different from the boyish pets like Mortiking. Just the expression makes me annoyed. Shame, it's an Auto-win though, as it is over 1000+ points ahead. ;_;
Awesome, finally. <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0> I've been waiting for this revamp. Much better.
Hmm. ]:
The revamp is nice and all, but it looks too cutesy. The lineart/shading is nice, btw. <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>
The claws and what not need to be more fierce looking, yanno? Thinner- and sharper.
The heads a bit too big for the body, and yeah- the grinning is somewhat creepy ): It looks as if you crammed the body into the 100x100 or whatever thing, and didn't plan the proportions very well
the eyes are gorgeous. <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif border=0> I like how there is a slit and what not :]
although reptiles don't have the white in their eye, only the iris/pupil, if anything. haha.
other than that, the velosotor looks nice. <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>!

I like the old one a bit better.... The head of the revamp looks... Odd in a way. The revamp is nice, but seems off sorta... Maybe its just me...
If the Velosotor changes to this awesome-looking baby, one of mine is surely going to change into one. Looks great, I don't have any qualms with this redesign. Especially looking forward to seeing the Twilight Version =D

I was the 1524th to vote fro the new one lD im awesome XD
All I can say is WOW. Beautiful revamp, I have nothing to crit this time. It looks just like a dinosaur should - an amazing improvement from the old one that definitely needed revamping. I think the bump on the back of the head looks perfectly fine, it was a characteristic that many dinosaurs had. The shading is <b>amazing</b>, it gives so much more definition. And what's wrong with the grin? Personally I love it, it just gives so much character and looks much more dinosaur-ish. I'm just in awe, as I said - nothing to crit here, and I hope to see the revamp implemented soon =) Kudos to the artist!
Also, to Brainfreeze, look up velociraptors/utahraptors/etc. That family of dinosaurs had a retractable inner toe that flexes like that. Heck. Just watch Jurassic park.
YES. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. I don't know what else I can say. In all seriousness, you could make it into a donut with teeth and it would be better than the last one. Had I the ability, I would vote yes more that the one time I was allowed.
Nice artwork, but a few things about this revamp throw me off.
The head looks incredibly wide to me, therefore looking a bit..odd. The body also has the same problem. If both were shrunken, or compacted a little, it'd look a lot better. (or at least if the head wasn't so wide or the body so fat)
Now, don't take my words for granted as I am using a widescreen comp. at the moment, so things are stretched quite a bit. XD
Lovely pose though. It looks really realistic for this kind of dinosaur. ^^
I'm still going to vote on Old though.

My only critics are that the back of the head looks a little bit too big and the grin is a bit... disturbing. Other than that, great job! <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>

sickle claw or whatever, that is still an odd angle. I have yet to see any beast be able to flex one toe. o_O.
Amen to this. Just amen. We have more than enough pretty girly pets on the site and it was about time that it changed. This isn't only a site for little girls who want fluffy pets, this is a site for everybody.
<p>
But, even though I think that this is a marvellous revamp, there are some things that could use minor tweaking. I adore the fact that the Velosotor; a predator, doesn't look like a wee little girlie who's about to get a manicure since the pose of the hands on the old one greatly associated me with someone waiting for their fingernails to dry off.
<p>
Love the shading on this, love the claws, love everything.
<br />
Do not love the bump on the back of the new Velosotor's head. Did the poor thing fall down while hunting...? D; I don't know, it just looks a wee bit off. Maybe just tone it down a slight tiny bit...?
<p>The only other major thing that bugs me is the mouth. The upper corner of the mouth ends somewhere under the eye and that just... spooks the hell out of me. Maybe make the mouth a bit shorter...? It looks a bit weird now.
<p> A suggestion; you could add some teeth to it's mouth. Unless you plan to keep that detail reserved strictly for the BR Velosotor. It's fine either way.
<p>
Pretty sure that other people have things to add to this. <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0> </p></p></p></p></p>

i wont vote because it's not a pet of mine (or one i would ever get) and i feel that only the owners of pets should get a say in how they look. however i will say that i DO like this new art. (why is it only my pets that i hate the art for??)
Oh, I really like it! And guess why? Because it looks like a dinosaur and I can't see anything anatomically weird on it at first sight ... if only the Reborn Tigrean could look like a big cat or a Machairodontinae <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0>
As has been said repeatedly, great new art. I prefer the sweet face of the old one, and agree that this guy seems a tad cramped and off balance in the back end. Perhaps it's just that he looks as though he's bent in half, so there's no streamlining. Much like a cat who's been frightened and is about to hit the ceiling, lol
Best revamp yet.
I agree though, tweak the head a little and get rid of that grin. Maybe change the shading so the sides of the muzzle look like they're curving inward slightly, like a real dinosaur head. If that makes sense.

i really like the eyes on the new one... and i can see him/her thinking he/she is just a harmless oversized puppy and is sneaking up to tickle someone with their unknowingly dangerous claws.

Will the Spectrum one be changed or will it stay the same?

that toe as you put it is a sickle claw similar to those of the actual velociraptor..I like it over all, just needs to be cleaned up a bit.
I voted the new one, simply because the art is a lot better (better shading and such), but I do miss the sweet look of the old one <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>

I liked the old pose, but I love the new claws, eyes...and the fact it actually looks like it has muscle and some skin definition. so all in all revamp FTW.
I don't like it at all. It takes away that coy-girlish look the original had. I was considering whether or not to turn my Velvet back into a velosotor, this makes up my mind, not to. I think it is very good art work, but it just isn't the same.

something about it looks awkward i dont know what.. its kind of odd looking.. but the art is very good but i think it looks like a real life dinosaur...

The only thing that seems a teensy bit off to me is the head... I think it should be a tinytiny bit smaller and more delicate looking since neither velociraptors or the original velosotor have large heads. And I rather liked the long, curvy spikes on the head and they look rather stubby now. But all in all, it's FANTASTIC. <img src=http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>

Well, I hear you. but if you look at the GY Velosotor, the tail is raised, flexing, and adding balance to an upright and moving animal. I'd love to see a pose more like that, but I dout it will happen. xD But no, it's a pet, not a real raptor. Or even a Jurassic Park one. cough xD
Well I mean, it's obvious what it was based off of, but people keep claiming it to be a raptor, and pointing out anatomical features of a raptor that the velosotor should have, when that's not really the case. XD I know what you are saying about the tail, though I guess I'm a bit biased. I like how the tail seems very flexible, and as was pointed out, I think they kind of had to make the tail that way, else the picture would be too large. XD
And girly looks? The old Velosotor looked just as girly, if not more girly, with big eyes and a gentle smile. Who cares if it looks girly? Don't like it? Get a different pet.
The artists did a really good job here, though maybe some little things need tweaking with the head size. To enhance the raptor look of it it would be best to make the tail rigid, as all raptors require a long, rigid tail to keep their balance. I suppose that would be difficult to fit into that size, so it's not completely necessary. Shading? I think it looks fantastic. I really love this new revamp. Great job!
