Recently, a team of linguists studying the winged creature we've known as the Aerie discovered that we'd misunderstood these majestic beasts all along. After reviewing their language, it's become clear that they refer to one another as Irions. What we mistakenly believed to be The Aerie turned out to be the name for their home, not their species. In light of this discovery, all references to Aeries on record have been corrected.

I still kinda think the front legs are too stiff - where do they bend? Not very fond of the name change eithier, what was wrong with aerie? It also seems that all of the fluff is on the front part of its chest, with none at all of his legs. The wings are also -I think- too small for his body, and the 'thumbs' on his front feet don't look like they belong. Anyway, please don't change the hydrus version! I'm planning on changing Jade into one and I think It's fine the way it is.
Forgot to add in, I do know that these guys will grow on me once I get over the change xD It is a vast improvement.
I LOVE the new name, it was WAY to close to NEO's name for a similar pet. And the new look is great too. Quote by Bagheera23608.
Ditto!

To me, none of the KEY issues seem to have been addressesed? I do love this new version just the combination of the small wings, startled expression, etc, is a bit..much.
I also do not understand why the Aeries were renamed. Could someone go IN-DEPTH? Was it too close to the Eyrie on neopets?

i just do not get why folks are getting so bent out of shape on the name changes around here. I'll stop there. It makes no sense.

I think it looks lovely and the name change was a nice move. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Mmmm, I really like this revamp.
I don't like the name change. I'll get used to it since I own one.
I do like that we've embraced the more "griffin" look of the pet.
And the artwork is lovely.
I'm also a bit apprehensive about my own pet changing; she's reborn, but I'm sure it will be alright.

Hmmm... I don't really know what to say. The art is lovely, I love the new pose... and I can't wait to see what happens with the special poses. England has been waiting for his revamp for awhile. ;D
Cheers to the artists!

I wish more of the critiques had been addressed, especially the tiny wings (which still look really awkward on such a powerful, majestic creature)... but at least the hind leg does look better. I'll miss the unique look and personality of the Aerie, but I guess there's not much room for deviations from the norm where gryphons are concerned.
Very nice art, though, and for once a name change I can actually get into. Good job, Jag!

Too prideful?
It's a mixture of two of the most noble creatures ever created... and it's too prideful?

I like the new name. I'm not too crazy about the revamp but I wasn't crazy about the pet before that either.
With all due respect to you and the pets that you are waiting on, this news post is about the <strong>irion revamp</strong>. Please stay on topic. We know you are waiting on other pets, and we promise we won't forget about them without reminders.

Yay, finally! I love this. I don't know yet if I'll have one other than my Hydrus guy - I shall wait and see how the nonstandard poses look, and I do wish the wings had been larger. But it's wonderful to see them properly fierce and gryphonaceous at last.
"I'm going to miss the griffin."
From Wikipedia:
<i>The griffin is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and often wings of an eagle.</i>
How can you miss something we've given you? xD

This is NOT what I had in mind when I created Bail Me Out. I think I'll be changing his species...*shakes head*
They look amazing! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" /> And their new name rocks as well.
The instant I saw the revamp poll I got an Aerie, knowing that eventually it would be a fine piece of ass. Love the new name too <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

-taps chin- No offence, but they're too... prideful, I think. They used to be seem really fun/cheerful.

I'm still waiting for Tigreans to be angelic. I'm enjoying the revamps, but they just take waaaay too long. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
pats Genma I think I am going to change his species. Sorry but I loved the first revamp so much and now... The revamp doesnt really fits him <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" />
I like the new name, although it'll take a bit of getting used to. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
This revamp is MUCH better than the first revamp, IMO. The legs look a lot better. Although, the wings still seem a little dis-proportioned to the rest of the body.

I'm going to miss the griffin. =/ Now it's a hippogriff (except it has lion back legs instead of horse)
But I'm quite fond of Jag's work, and I have to say it looks much better than the 'second revamp'. Though I kind of wish they used the first one.

Uhh... I like it. I wish the front legs were a wee bit thinner, but yeah I like it. o2o
It reminds me of the griffin for Quest for Camelot, lolol.

Noooooooooooo!!!! Not my Aerie. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sweatdrop.gif" border="0" /> sigh I guess I have to live with it. I don't like the new revamp it's too fluffy. I knew this revamp was to come. I wish for another revamp! Well it's not the end of the world. Don't your dare touch my Kora! hee hee I congratulate the artists though. I couldn't draw that. Good luck on your revamp mission.
Thank you! Finally a name that I can actually remember how to spell! (Not to mention pronounce ^^U)

Completely awesome! Great job to the artist! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

I still think the front legs look a bit stiff, but overall it's a fantastic revamp <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> I'm really curious to see what the new DM Irion will look like. Hopefully the pose will be the same, more or less?
Ah, I see it now, Seerow. The back legs do look much better, which I'm very glad about. I <i>am</i> also glad the feathers and spots stayed, but the tail still kind of bothers me. Ah well, it's certainly improvement. ^^

They look so much more powerful. Good job, artists! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Ok, I can live with the name change, but it will take some time to get used to; however, I would LOVE an explanation of why Halloween was changed to Morostide. I'm just not loving that one.
The bird feet are really strange, I'm not sure what better way I could say that, but they don't look quite right. Hopefully this design will get some touching up? It's definitely beautiful, though, can't wait to see the special poses.
Crap, I just colored my aer- scuse me, Irion dark matter 3 days ago <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" /> I hope it will still look good, I dunno if I'm loving the new look...

Ayasha, there's the two images side by side (well top and bottom, didn't want to stretch the page.). The last attempt is on top, the official new release on bottom.
It looks like the feet/legs were the main things that were tweaked.

Not too pleased with the revamps, but at least that paralix's may be updated soon.
I don't like it that well. >_>; I think the other one was much cuter.
I certainly hope that you don't redraw all of the other pets to look like this...
