This is my happy face.
After extensive grooming, the new Mortikings are now ready to go to a loving home. They're even available in the stunning Nuclear and Marsh varieties! While they are house broken, a large back yard is recommended and contrary to popular belief, they will get along with your Bovynes and Devonties every bit as well as they'll get along with your Velosotors.
...which is to say, not at all, but the stuffy people at the Mortiking Society wouldn't let us tell you that. :x Oh, my gracious! Was that out loud? My lawyer's going to have fun trying to get me out of this mess...

dude the green one look rad
I just love the skin of this creature. The way it lays over the flesh is really nice and very pleasing for me to admire. The snarl reminds me of Two Face. The Marsh Mortiking looks like an evil chocolate and mint Easter confection.
When I am vaguely reminded of unrelated images and impressions, it means the artist has captured my imagination. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

I never liked Mortikings too much, but I love this revamp. I'm so sick of hearing people just ranting on and on about it being over-shaded and fat and ugly and whatever they're saying. Don't like it, don't get the pet. Don't insult the artist, it makes you sound like a 7 year old. I don't understand why people have to still be so critical about it when every says a thousand times "Only constructive criticism please" Geez, guys. Lighten up and respect the amount of work put into the piece of art. It's beautiful. Just because you don't think it's absolutely perfect for YOU doesn't matter. The world does not and will not ever revolve around you. People are not always going to cater to you. Get used to it.
DNA, I love Mortikings now and am actually considering getting one. I can't compliment you enough on this beautiful work. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Much better. And while the roundness of the eye marking still irks me, its a great piece. xD

I sure am great at hitting buttons by accident.
I think the problem with the snarl is that there's no wrinkles in the face to make it really look like it's pulling back its lips; so instead it kind of looks like its face is always like that regardless. Wrinkles are what make snarls fierce and scary (look at dogs). The shading makes it look shiny and as though it comes from water (unless this is the intention, I'm rather oblivious). I would take out a lot of if not all of the highlights/shininess, because it takes away from any intimidation the Mortiking is supposed to have. Also, the weird fin thing on the back seems out of perspective, although it is a major improvement from the original one.
Other than that (which everyone else seems to be touching on) it's a really nice piece of work. The only problem is that it may not all fit into the Mortiking's "character". The addition of showing the end of the tail helps a lot in completing it. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

It still looks fat. The shading is too detailed. It's left hand looks broken. It still looks like it's sneezing. And that one spike on the neck seems out of place. I'm not saying the art is bad, I just think the design of the pet needs further tweaking.

Yay! Bigger head, smaller spines!
looks nice so are the mortiking angelic ones gonna change, I looked at mine and doesnt look like it changed any..
o: Kudos, DNA. You fixed everything that everyone was complaining about. If they complain anymore, they obviously have no idea how great this pet now is. x3 And I'm so glad you shaded him a bit differently-- now he doesn't look fat and cuddle-able. o_o; He looks like he wants to nibble on me. XD
I like the eyes much, much better compared to the old one... more vicious <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" /> And all the other tweaks made it all the better as well. :3 The subeta artists are amazing ^^

hi I would like to demand that you design this pet to my (and ONLY mine) exact whims and specifications. If not I'm going to demean the artist for no reason. Is that cool?
This thing looks like it's been fed growth hormones! It's just so ... beefy...
I suppose it's a good thing I was never particularly font of the species.

Well I've never liked the mortiking personally, but the revamp is very nice. I think the shading is well done, and I see it as very muscular, not fat. I really like how the eye was made bigger and the snarl was made bigger. Very good job.
OMG Marsh Mortikings! I gotta get one. ♥
The subtle changes made this revamp look a ton better, too.

The revamp is fine, but now I'm left with two dinosaur pets and nothing that looks remotely like a lizard, or a real raptor. :C
The mortiking is great as a big fat monster (and that wasn't sarcasm), but I wish we had a pet that looked like the way the BR mortiking used to, and velosotors should... is a debbie downer

i'm not into Mortikings but i love this revamp. And guys he's not fat, he's big boned LOL!
wow considering how close the results were 3432/2726 I don't see how in the world this thing managed to go through without another poll. Clearly this does not cater to enough of a majority as to justify just going through with it anyway.
Yeah the second version looks better but the rolls of fat on its ankles still bother me (and yes even the shading supports the fact that there are rolls of fat), the snarl is eh and tail looks like it did a 90 degree turn when she ran out of space. The worst problem IMO is that its huge stomach is the focal point of the picture. My eyes are just drawn to its beer belly and red mark.
However, the Spikes and other improvements you did look great, and I like the shading.

cool revamp! from tianiaroo's posting, i can see the changes made and i like the new version!! the revamping of other colors should prove interesting, and i hope to see what the harvester is gonna look like with this new trend!!!

Excellent work, it looks amazing after a bit of tweaking with the mouth and body structure <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" />
I think it looks great! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" /> Sometimes I wonder how many of the people who complain actually have or are considering having a basic-colored Mortiking. I wouldn't want to complain about a pet that I was never going to have. I do have a Bloodred Mortiking, though, and he's awesome ^^
The Mortiking has never been a favorite of mine, so honestly, this revamp doesn't concern me too much, but I will say that I actually -really- like the new shading and I'm happy that the artist listened to some of the suggestions. =)
My only two problems with it are that I think the mouth could stand to come back further and that it still seems too bulky. I don't think the Mortiking should be some scrawny little species or anything, but with its current build it seems more like it would end up waddling rather than walking. ^^;

It's so beautiful, I love it so much - now there's a decision to make, which one of my guys will be changed? I always liked them but now I MUST have a Mortiking, rawr. Thank you so much, DNA! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
All the changes made to the prior proposal were key! The mouth and eye look great. He's one kick-ass Dino!
I personally think they look great <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Good job.
Good job.
I agree with the others who have mentioned the extreme overshading in this revamp. The only two recent revamps I can think of that have had this much shading is the Serpenth and Mortiking, both of which received complaints on it. Though the Serpenth wasn't nearly as overdone as this was.
The Lasirus, Ruffie, Feli, etc all have a lovely amount of shading/highlighting and I'd like to see that trend followed as opposed to this.
Anyway, on to the actual Mortiking, I still don't like it. I don't see any weight loss at all except for a little in the neck. Its claws are dull and wouldn't be much use in a fight, if it could even catch its prey with all that extra bulk weighing it down.
Its sneer is better though and I do adore the eyes and tails.

Well, it's probably my least favorite of all the revamps...next to the new feli. I have to say, the shading's a bit...too much. I dislike the back spine, the one on the old revamp was better. The think about the old revamp, I liked the shading because it wasn't too...bleh.
Anyways, let me point out what I do like. I like the arts, more t-rex like, and the tail. Now I know his tail wasn't chopped off. The eyes are way better and I like the mouth a little more than the old one.

And you can either twist my words or look at any pet you please any way you please to try and continue an argument for the sake of it.
The new ruffie is a drastic change from the old design, and as Keith himself has said, we're moving away from simplicity. Whether you think X or Y pet matches with Z pet is irrelevant, especially in light of the fact that many pets are in the progress of recieving revamps, and many of those pets are drawn by a variety of different artists, not just one.
If there's anything true about Subeta, it's that our artwork changes with the times.

The revamp is a bit better, considering the beast seems to have lost two pounds. An improvement. Along with the eyes. They dont look so... dead. The snarl has been tweaked a bit, and doesnt look as much like a leer. Better muscle definition, for now it doesnt look as pudgy in the arms. xD
However, the left claw (our right) still seems broken or misshapen somehow... as though it's wrist was snapped and never fully recovered. The shading seems a little intense... A little too much, I think. Could just be me. And the lef foot (to our right) still seems as though it stubbed a toenail and it never grew back just right. The nails on the right foot (our left) look sharp, more vicious. The ones on the other foot, however... Not so much. They dont match.
Once again, could just be me.

Really? Because the Ruffie was just recently revamped, and while it does look more like a real dog, it's definitely still cartoony and not overly shaded.

Unfortunately, the reverse is true--all of our new pets have been becoming less cartoonish and more detailed, and that is a trend that will be continuing.

My only complaint is I still think it looks over-shaded =/ It just doesn't seem to match the rest of Subeta's pet styles (similar with the serpenth). I'd personally like to see less dramatic shading in the future <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
This one is really growing on me. I think it was just sort of shell shock seeing it go from essentially 2D to this much higher quality.
I love his little mouth the best.

I do think it's mostly an improvement (especially in actually looking muscular instead of like a chubby, cuddly Barney; I'd put it closer to "sumo wrestler" now), but I'm curious...
Why was one random little spine added to its neck? I'm talking about the one that's the colour of its claws and arm-pokey-things.

Talk about being whiney and childish. Shutup and be glad that the artists took time to revamp a "not so popular" pet. Half of you whiners, can't even draw a smiley face.The Mortiking looks so much better! You did a great job.

I wasn't a big fan of the Mortiking in the recent poll, but the changes made to the face and tail made a huge difference. Looks great!
