The Malticorn is up for another revamp poll! We'd really appreciate your constructive criticism!
Also, please note that any previous malticorn attempts have been discarded, as the malticorn has been assigned to another artist.

Getting rid of the malticorn's toupee is like getting rid of a feli's horns or a kerubi's head wings. I'm of the mind that if people don't like such an important design feature, they don't like the <i>pet</i> and should seek another species. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" />
I dunno but there is something odd with the head :/
But I love everything from the neck down~ especially the legs :3

Since people seem to not like the head poof and the color of the eyes. Maybe make the head poof smaller or get rid of it and if you need the color on the head instead make the eyes match the butt spots. That way you have the color theme through out and you get rid of the stuff people don't seem to like at the same time.
OKies. I get why it the eye color was changed. I do still think it would look better overall if the color was repeated elsewhere. Like we see on the Common Ruffie for example.
I love this potential revamp! I love the feathers on its feet(the term for the hair there) and the tail. I also like the spots, it really helps to break the monotony that that pet normally has.
I think the shading's a bit strong. It's very dark in some places. I'd like to see it lightened a bit before it's released. I also noticed the ears look... off. The fur on them looks matted. And they arn't as perky as before, which bugs me. And finally, I'd like to see the feet staying true to the original. Y'know... bigger. I always thought that was one of the defining features of the malticorn, so this new revamp looks really odd with them so tiny. And that raised leg has already been mentioned, so I wont bother saying anything.<br /><br />Other than that, it's a really nice piece of artwork. I think it needs a lot of tweaking, though. The butt spots are a nice touch.

I love everything from the neck down. There's just something really off with the entire head area. Also, the old Malticorn art seemed to have a certain personality to it - like it actually had this playful demeanor. This one...seems to be void of personality, in my opinion.
But those rump spots are absolute love. ;D

I like it, but I think it looks flat and cardboard-cutouty. Maybe that's just because I'm on my laptop and outside, so it's hard to see...
... That question's already been answered by multiple people in previous news comments, but I may as well answer again.
Horn = curved because the popular Reborn Malticorn has a curved horn.

Woow it's amazing!
But the hair and the horn seems a bit odd together, maybe the horn has to be a bit bigger.

I really like this revamp for the most part. The added butt-spots are a nice touch, and I especially like the graceful legs and hooves, and that pretty tail. XD<br />Some things about the head bother me, though; namely the 'hair' and the ears. The hair seems too clumped together and sits on the head unnaturally... it reminds me of a toupee. ^^; The shape of it doesn't seem to form around the head correctly. Making the strands if it a little more separated and 'chunky' like the old Malticorn and the former revamp proposal would probably help, as well as making it less flat at the top. The faraway ear looks nice, but the closest one to us seems a little far back and separated from the head - I think bringing it forward toward the face more would make it look less awkward.<br />Otherwise, I think the revamp is lovely. The new color palettes will be much more interesting. X3
I love the spotted effect above the hind legs and down the tail, awesome <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
I like the old one. Mainly because it looks perky, ready to play. This one just kinda stands there with a cutesie smile. I don't like cutesie. Also, why is the horn curved?
I'll have to agree with Night- love it besides the eyes/ears/head. now that i look at it more closely, the tail bugs me a bit too. anyway, good job <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

I likethe coloring and pose of thie pet. It's innocent looking and cute. I really like htose rump spots and the curve of the tail. I do like the size of the hooves and the horn, although I've noticed a few people think they should be bigger/straight horn.
I think the muzzle should be a tad wider, or longer, and that the hair should be..."messier". IN this revamp it's just laying on the malticorn's head. I think it'd look better if it had a bit of movement

It looks 2D and stiff.
The feathering on the legs looks like it's all been pulled back.
I do like the way that the tail and chest fluff was drawn though.
It might look better if the head-hair were a little longer, and the ears looked more fluffy and little less ragged.
It looks like the old ruffie to me for some reason.
xD

Aww! It's adorable! TY RAH <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" /> BUT the face and ears look like the old common ruffi o.o
I'd like the new one better IF the horn was not so crooked and the head was a little bigger. Right now, it looks like the head is too small for the body.
I guess I just don't like redraws recently.
This one is too...skinny legged for me, and not fluffy enough. The hair poof looks like a moptop, and since the body colour is now such a sky blue, instead of white [or at least more white than blue], it doesn't stand out like before. The colouring almost makes me think of what it might look like as a light dusk, and then it makes me think of the ruffie. Wasn't the ruffie changed to brown, after it had been this shade of blue, because it was going to be too close to dusk or something like that?
I also think it looks too...tall. The other one was more stocky, and floofy, and its pose was more like some playful than 'lookit me I'm pretty'. The ears look funny to me too, since they sag down, instead of pointing up but with the top/alot more of the ear/ tipping down,aandthus not as fluffy.
I do like the new leg tufts though, and tail is fantastic! 8D! I do like those new buttpots too, and the pretty hooves.
I know I'm in the minority here, but...I just don't really like this one that much - but I do admit the malticorn needs to be redone [lol.]

The new one is so much better. My only suggestion would be, maybe his hair (like... the blue hair on his head. you know.) could be longer? It seems to be a little bit in the eyes of the old one, and that was kind of cute, too. But regardless, amaaaazing job!
I like it, but the eyes need to be changed. To me, they look way too small and don't fit the face. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy_sweatdrop.gif" border="0" /> Other than that, it's adorable <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
I voted for a revamp. But I agree, I don't think this re-draw is the best. The body is to narrow in my opinion, the legs look a little to stiff, and the face is off. The muzzle/nose part looks to small.
It's very nice <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Only thing that's bothering me is that the head looks like a Ruffie with a horn.

Wow, it's very nice!!
I think the only problem I have is the size of the hooves, shoulders and hips. I think they should be a little bigger. The shoulder looks a bit too small and maybe could have some more definition? But other than that, I think that this is one of your best works yet!

Well, it needs a revamp, but I don't know if this is the revamp. Can we get a few other redraws up, maybe?

Also I'm sorry if I come off weird or demanding in that other reply. I always feel weird about critiquing someone else's work. You all are far more talented than I am anyway.

I know this won't be of much help, but something about the front legs looks off. I've been trying to place what it is but I just can't figure it out.
I don't like the eyes, too cute for me. Make them more neutral, less cute, and you got my vote.
One thing I noticed is the 'shape' of the inner back legs, they don't match, the left seems to bit a bit more curved while the right seems a little flat, hope that made sense.

It looks amazing, I love it. Kudos to the artist. The only thing I notice is that the hair on its head and the ears foof out in an odd way. The hair not so much. I think it's only the right ear that is doing it. Is foof even a word? It is now. But besides that tiny little thing (and I'm probly the only one it's bugging, so feel free to ignore me!) it's definitely a vast improvement. Good job!
Yep definately an improvement ^^ However something on the face is bothering me, I think the top line of the muzzle should be continued on into the face a bit more instead of stopping in line with the eye. It kinda makes the face look a bit too wide.
Maybe also it's features could be moved back a bit on the head, cause it's cheek is looking a bit long? (I really hope that makes sense!)
And maybe the whole image needs to be turned back a few degrees, it looks like it's leaning forward too much.
Just a few (hopefully) constructive crits on an otherwise very nice looking revamp ^^ Great job Rah! With a few tweaks it will be perfect.

Annnnd the horn was made more curved, because that's the sort of horn that the extremely popular Reborn Malti has. C: Go look it uppp; it's a gorgeous pet. C:
Awww. Who's a little cutie, unicorn, dog, um thing.
Much better then the last revamp. A softer pose that fits an intentionally cute pet instead of the locked kneed and static one from the last try. I like how the feathering comes off the legs. You can see the legs outlined underneath so it makes it clear it’s fur and not some bizarre fluke of anatomy. The one knee looks kind of off but that can be written of as how the fur is guiding the flow instead of a big anatomical flaw. The face doesn’t look like anything found in nature but it fits the increased cuteness of the pet so I don’t see that as problem.
Only thing I would improve would be to shorten the neck so the head sits closer to the shoulders. I has a neck that isn't long enough for a equine and is too long for a canine. It currently makes the head look a bit large for the body. Sitting it closer to the body will make it seem more proportional. Maybe change the fluff of hair on top of the head. You have some nice flowing more realistic fur on the legs to the puff looks a little out of place when compared to that.
Over all I like it and think it does a good job of delivering on the type of pet this is meant to be.

Jess - blame Andi for the purple eyes xD Apparently when they were bluey teal there was too much blue on the face! I had to figure out a colourscheme that would make all the other colours work - so for the future colours, the horn and hooves will be the accent colour (eg that pink colour in arid, the teal colour in cream), the hair and buttspots will be a darker version of the base colour, the chest will be a lighter version of the base colour, and the eyes will be whatever colour suits it best whilst remaining a palette colour!
And the horn is bent in that way because I was making this similar to the reborn colour - droopier ears, twisted bent horn, smaller eyes. The reborn seems to be the most popular colour, so I figured I'd attempt to keep some Malticorn owners happy!

Ohh and Jess-la. The eyes were made purple because the blue that they originally were, was blending in a fair bit with all the other.. blueblueblues. xD The purple makes the overall pet pop! a lot more than it did with plain ol' blue. C:
I like this one! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
The only pieces of advice I have (that would make me love it 100%) is to make the fur on the ears fall a little less wavey. Make it cascade more. The ear fur just looks a little off from the rest of the body fur. And I would also like to see a little more shading or a different eye shape altogether because the eye right now looks a little.. life-less. They look very flat and almost unhappy to me. shrugs This is just my opinion though. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> Otherwise, I love this revamp <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

I really like this revamp. Though something with the face seems off to me, But its not bugging me to much. Good Job! =3
The art looks fabulous always, but there are a few things that I'm not too fussed on. Firstly as a few have said it looks to canine like, I wouldn't mind but there are already quite a few canines already, me thinks that it has to do with the length of the body, snout and ears, and for some reason the hooves seem a little small. And I have to admit I've never been a fan of 'butt spots'. xD
But yeah art wise I <3 it, great work Rah, but as a malticorn not so sure...

Ohh, forgot to add, I love how the legs look like actual horse legs and not just straight stumps <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
I didn't notice it till Stillicide pointed it out, but it is a bit too blue. The original version had more of a white coat, maybe that could be brought back a little?

I'm pretty sure that when the Malticorn species was first being developed, it was supposed to have a bit of a puppy element to it. I think it was a Maltese or a Pomeranian that it was supposed to emulate SOME characteristics of? ^^ So.. if this revamp's giving off more of a puppy vibe, props to Rah for achieving that. O:

The legs look pretty weird. I think they need to be fixed. There's something about the head that bothers me, too.
By far the best redraw yet! I adore its body shape and the detailing of the spots. I also really like the face. Definitely a pet I could see owning if I ever got more spots.
I think its right foreleg is a little short or something, or maybe it should be lifted more. It just looks off though I can't really say what looks off about it. Helpful aren't I.
Rah did this? Amazing job like alway Rah <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
