I think it's adorable. The only thing.. is the chest fluff is a little high on the right side? C: But seriously love love love

Oh malteses... -sob-.
Mine was eaten :c. I miss her

fuzzyanimal: I absolutely adore your rendition of a new outline for the Malticorn. I think it looks much better and I think I would actually get one if it looked like that. xD The over anatomy is better and seems to echo the current Malticorn, which I really like. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" /> hopes Rah takes it into consideration :3

In general, it's really cute <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> I like the hooves, neck scruff, spots and even the purple eyes; what I'm not too crazy about is that I think the legs look too skinny, the tail appears too 'smooth' on the end and generally it just looks too puppy-ish for me. I'm not too crazy about the horn being curved.

there's only one thing I don't like is the horn.
a straight one would look better

i'm gonna vote for the new one, but i do have some crits <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> i have to say, i love that it looks more like a idog (or at least i think so lol) the face is beautiful and i love the fur on the tail, ears, chest, and legs. however, like other people have said, the anatomy is kinda odd. for some reason the top/back of the torso area bothers me..i think it's just how the shading was done? and the fur around the head kinda bugs me because on the older one i thought it was cute how it looks like it had bangs. but on the new one, there are bangs, but...not the right bangs lol the spots on the butt kinda bother me too. i mean i like it because it's unique, but they just kinda bother me for some reason <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" />
so yeah...overall, it's a great improvement, i just think it needs a few tweeks <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

I have noticed a lot of redraws are getting more markings, spots and such, is this because it gives the pet more "parts" to recolor for the differences between marsh/dawn/nuclear etc? I think it would be nice to have some more plain-solid color pets o-o;<br /><br />

But on to the actual redraw, I adore the way the fluff around the ankles looks, its very.. elegant? I like it. I think the tail looks poofy and fits the old drawing better. The ears make it very puppy-dog like, I don't know if I like that or not but I think they would look better if they were drawn more like the fluff on the heels? Kind of like longer fur and very silky looking instead of poofy. Actually first, let me say the redraw is adorable and well-drawn, kudos to the artist.. but theres a few things that bug me! The chest fluff really bothers me. The "fluff" lines looks like ...mini sausages.. they're just a little too uniform? Also in the old malticorn it seems like it should have been more curly? I envision the malticorn to be very very soft and this makes me think of "fine" fur. Thin fluff.. or something I'm not entirely sure what to say there. The hair looks groomed, the old one had more "wild" looking hair, and the hair was glossy, would it be possible to carry this over to the redraw? I also have to say I severely dislike the curved horn :| Sorry.<br /><br />

I love how CUTE this is! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" /> I do agree that the head shape looks a bit off, and this one has a much different feel to it than the old one. It looks happy, while the old one looked a bit snooty and/or petulant. Overall one of my favorite reamps though, great job. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" /> But I'm scared to see what may happen to my beautiful Angelic Malticorn, who I have never seen as very dog-like. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

The right front leg (the Malticorn's right) seems a bit too short, despite the position it's in. Also, something about the head seems... off. I can't quite put my finger on it, though

I voted for the new, because it's a definite improvement, but I have to agree with other people. Something about the head is odd. I do love the hooves though. So cute.

It has such a sweet, little face. I did not realise it was suppose to be part canine until this revamp. On closer inspection (and as per other reviews) the blue hair on its head seems like it would like to flow better and I think the horn would look nicer if it were a tad less textured. Again, I just love the little face! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Obviously, the art itself is much improved, but I had to vote for the old one. Rah, ya know I love ya, but something about the anatomy on this one just doesn't sit right with me. The face looks squished in, the hair looks like someone dropped a mop wig on its head, not like it belongs there. The anatomy of the legs seems a little wobbly too.

I do miss the HUGE eyes on the old one and the more featherboa style neck ruff instead of a more chestlike ruff. Also the way the ears on the old Malti came out before they drooped reminded me more of a Lop rabbit, whereas these are more Basset Hound.

I do LOVE what you've done with the hooves, but the shoulders and hips seem too weak. The colors are adorable and the shading is perfect as usual but I'd really love to see the anatomy cleaned up a little.

Sorry, I don't usually get into this much detail about revamps and such, but something about this one really struck me.

It's very sleek, which is nice, but it doesn't feel as much... I guess I've always looked at the Malticorn as very cloud like, so it's not as fluffy or doesn't feel as fluffy as a result of that sleekness. It is still an improvement over the older version, but I'd miss the fluffy feel with it like this.

It looks... forced. All the bits that are supposed to look fluffy just look stiff, the face looks unfinished, the hair on the head looks like it's been gelled flat, the ears look like random clumps of matted fur hanging from the cheeks, and the rump spots are completely unnecessary. Also, it's standing in the exact same position that so many other pets on the site are in. One raised foot doth not a dynamic drawing make.

As for the debate about it looking more canine... yes, it's supposed to have dog features, but not ONLY dog features. It's part equine too. Not to mention it should have unique, Subeta-only features that make it similar to but distinct from both. This does not. It's a cocker spaniel head and Maltese tail on a furry horse body; nothing special. Also, if we're trying to keep it that similar to a Maltese, the color should be MUCH less blue and more white.

Finally, basing it on the Reborn Malticorn was a great choice, but if that was supposed to be the inspiration, why isn't it showing in anything besides the curved horn? What about the overall physique (the rounded equine belly and a back that isn't flat), the more flared feathering around the ankles, the ears that actually show visible ear structure and not just drooping fur?

Nope. Still not the revamp this pet needs.

It looks so cute^-^ I would definitely get one if the revamp wins the poll. But as the other said. The hair looks a little bit... strange... like an wig or something like that xD But it looks still uber cute. Kudos to the artist =D

fuzzyanimal - Just highlighted every issue I had. ;D

I quite like it. Although, there are a few issues I have with it. I've done a redline and an edit to fix some of the problems I see. I'm not the best at anatomy, so maybe someone else could do a better job.

<img src=http://i36.tinypic.com/28ssuug.jpg border="0"><img src=http://i37.tinypic.com/96wyed.jpg border="0">

Uh, it's really cute. But like many others said before...the 'hair' looks a bit off. The head seems a bit too 'flat'. ^^;

I guess the Reborn will be revamped, too? <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" />

It's a vast improvement from the original! Some other people have touched on the issue of "movement" and I agree. The whole drawing is a little bit too static and the hair and fur look too stiff.

The tail and the legs look lovely, I'm not sure if I like the horn re-colored to match the hooves or not.

I have to agree with the comments on the face, it does look too much like a Ruffie, not so much like the original pet.

Also, it think adding the spots was a mistake. If you wanted to add something that dark and noticeable, you should probably just cover the whole pet with them. Which would probably be a mistake again.

It's a lovely piece of artwork, props to the artist, but just not for this pet.

The facial expression could look more like the old one. This one looks almost too happy.

To me this is a little disappointing. Something around the facial area just isn't working, it's poorly executed for my taste. I'd go as far as saying that it looks a little sheep-ish. I just LOVE the Reborn Malticorn.. It should resemble that one, in my opinion..

Nonetheless, I appreciate all the hard work the artist put into it.. Sorry artist =/

I've always seen the Malticorn as canine. huh. go fig. anyway, in the words of Tony the Tiger, this is GRRRRREAT! I suck at crit and I've wanted this pet to be revamped since forever so I guess I'm just all ways pleased with this. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />

I tend to love this artist's revamps, but this one.. I see a lot of problems with. x:
The ear closest to us needs moved closer to the eye, there are some issues with the hair and the shape of the muzzle makes the face seem lopsided. Also, the torso and back area look really flat and straight and it makes the invisible slant that the species always appears to be standing on really obvious. I think it would be an easy fix, though, with some modified shading and some arch between the shoulders and back. Lastly, none of the legs/hooves seem big enough. : /
I do, however, love the shape of the hooves, the tail and I think that the face has promise, but needs some things altered on it.

The Malticorn really needs a revamp, and I think Rah could have a really adorable and fitting style for the species with the right changes.

Voted for old.
The revamp is nice. I like the body and ruff at the neck as well as the tail, but with the spots and the very canine face, it looks a lot like the Ruffie and it's raised foreleg looks awkward.
The perk in it's ears seemed lost in it's crown of fur on it's head.

Honestly, I have to say that I'm deeply disappointed in this pet revamp. The hair looks like a toupee and doesn't flow down like the originally Malticorn. Plus I think the hair could be a little more shiny. Not... Blindingly shiny like the original, but I just think it's way too dull on this one. And I agree. This one has way too much puppy in it's face. Looks more like a mutated Ruffie now. I'd like to see the ears less jagged and more bouncy. I wish Jag was still doing the Malticorn revamp. This just makes me sad.

Just referring to Luxe's comment, cross breeds are a difficult thing to do as after it has been done it is very hard to balance right again, and the fact that a different artist is now drawing the breed makes it again more difficult to get the balance right...

I love this one!! The dainty little hooves are just adorable and the face is too cute.. Great job!

I like the newer one but think the tail should be a little fuller and the tuft and the ears on the head redone slightly. The ears looke too.. Sprenger spaniel like

I love the body, but the only thing that makes it look a little odd is the face.. especially the tuft on its head. XD Seems to be positioned a little weirdly.

It appears so. The only old Malticorn that I saw a lot of canine in was the original Chibi. Which was revamped to look more horse/unicorn like and less puppy like.

I also see little to no canine in the Reborn...

Dude, this is awesome. I like this much better than the old one because it's more detailed. The only thing I see wrong is the hooves, they seem a bit small, but that's just me and I'm not even that good of an <a href="/redirect.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.halfsoul.deviantart.com" target="_new">artist</a> so...

"I\'m really confused by the feedback that the face looks too canine. The malticorn has always been a cross between a Maltese and a Unicorn. Hence, the name. Was it that poorly executed from the beginning that people are just now understanding it with this revamp?"

I think so xDD;. I'm fairly new, but it wasn't until recent that I realized it's face was /supposed/ to be more canine; not at all like a horse. My sister claims that's not so, so your statement must be true no?

Over all the new one is a BIG improvement, I think the hooves look a little small though, especially the one that is slightly lifted infront <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Voted for the new.

Looks great c:!
However since you did ask for criticism. . . . The front leg that's lifted kind of seems.... shorter then the other when you look at it xD;. Kind of out of proportion just a little. I donno. That might just be me though xD.

I'm really confused by the feedback that the face looks too canine. The malticorn has always been a cross between a Maltese and a Unicorn. Hence, the name. Was it that poorly executed from the beginning that people are just now understanding it with this revamp?

The new art looks a lot better because it's much more detailed <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" /> My only criticism is that the face looks too canine, like others pointed out; to me, it clashes with the body. Otherwise, it looks great, especially the legs <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

The hooves, fur and back speckles are wonderful. There's nothing I'd change at first glance. Kudos to the artist! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

I voted for old, but only because I have some suggestions that I hope can be taken into consideration. (Too many votes for new sometimes seems to make suggestions null)
I agree that it does look a lot like a puppy, and that is okay, but maybe the snout should be just a tidbit bigger, since I think it is also supposed to something like a goat type critter too. The butt spots are adorable, but maybe if you spread them out across his back more, it would look like a baby deer AND a baby dog. I love the curl of the tail but it looks a bit odd at the end; maybe more fluff will fix it, either way that's no big deal though. The front most leg might be too thick ^^; But the biggest thing I want to point out is the hair. I think it needs to be a little shinier and a little, um... less. It looks kinda like a bird's nest on his head ^^;
There, I hope I didn't go overboard.

Huh, I see no problem with the face. Nope. Just awesomeness. ^^

Good job!

Amazing Job Its about time this species got a revamp, I love the whole design in general. But the face kinda looks to small i guess maybe make it fuller? Other then that its awsome cant wait to see what pet is next to get an update. As long as its not the kumos! lol

The body looks great, but there is something off about the face. It just looks unfinished, like it needs more detail to go with the rest of it.

Overall, I like the new one better! Much better, great job artist. My only thing is the ears seem a little too long on the new one. They seem awkward, maybe too long in comparison to the older version...it's probably just a "I need to get used to this one" thing though so it's probably just me. I also think the face could stand to be a little fuller. It seems kind of petite.
Overall though, I love this revamp. The shading is nice, the pose is great. It gives the malticorn a little more movement instead of just standing there.

OR, change the eyes to a color that contrasts with the blue more perhaps? Orrrrr, maybe add some freckles, similar to the buttspots? The face currently just doesn't seem to fit the rest of the body in terms of fluff and markings.

I agree with Saga. It's body looks great, but there is just something about its head. I'm not quite sure what it is, though. I think it might be the ears or the length of its hair.
Other than that, I love the new one. It's chest isn't overly fluffy, the shading is great and for some odd reason, I just love its hooves. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />

I know effort was put into this and it is nice I suppose, but my mind can't seem to deal/love it because when I look at the new Malti I just see some weird unicorn/dog crossbreed. And yeah, the Malticorn is basically just that, but on the older version it didn't make me stop and grimace a bit.

Needs longer or looser hair, needs some fur lines on face, reduce the chest fur on our left hand side, reduce the spots on the back.

Just some suggestions that might help. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

i'm not really big on the spots on the rear/tail area. other than that, it's 1000000x better!

I have a reborn malticorn so I do like the species. But one of the things that made me like the reborn better is the balance. You have the poof, tail, legs and ears all being the same so it adds unity to the design. While the other colors the poof seems like someone stapled a topee on it's head. Maybe that's why it apparently the most popular color or it could be people just like reborn in general. But the horn was changed to match the reborn so it might not be bad to consider what else is different about it that makes it popular.

I just noticed that it's stomach is a different, lighter colour my MAC is really bright and I don't know how to adjust-, anyway In my opinion the lighter colour is perfect, as in a whole body colour, and a lot similar to the original
