I... well. Hm.
I like the overall concept a lot - and it looks really good on a Xwee - and I know its on a testing account so maybe it'll change... but it just looks so -blurry- to me. It's really hard to look at because it just looks unfinished, somehow.

Why are there badages on the wrists? Is it a clothing item?
I don't care for it. It looks like black dandruff instead of lava flakes.

I don't like it, but that's because I have an irrational dislike of black being outlined in lighter colours. I don't know where it came from, but I twitch every time I see it in cartoons. Ick!

I think it looks really nice, but I can't see myself ever owning a pet like that. It does look like it would be hot to touch, which is more than I can say for most of the fire pets. But it would just look silly with clothes on.
Re: 1st Look at the new "Magma" Pets: Magma Xweetok!!!!!
The bandages are the prize from the latest game challenge. They are not part of the pet.
Re: 1st Look at the new "Magma" Pets: Magma Xweetok!!!!!
I guess I'm alone on this but I really like it. The swirly designs on the knees as if the hardened magma was starting to crack is nice, and I like the way the fire is drawn. It's a different style of drawing, almost, but IMO I think it really works and looks good.

I don't see myself painting a pet in this color, but I think it's really, REALLY pretty.
Re: 1st Look at the new "Magma" Pets: Magma Xweetok!!!!!
It's a little bright but I really like it! They've clearly put a lot of effort into the design - the concept is good, the detail is great and it's significantly different to the Fire colour - so I'm really quite pleased with this. Bravo, artists!
Re: 1st Look at the new "Magma" Pets: Magma Xweetok!!!!!
Please explain what you find significantly different, because I really don't see it. It is still black with flames. It is shinier, but to me they could as well make it a fire update.it's significantly different to the Fire colour
It's just that with all the options they have to make a new colour, they choose to make a version that is apparently the ancestor of the fire pet. (According to the comic.) So no, I'm in the "not impressed camp".

I don't know, they look pretty different to me. Yes there are flames are involved in both but... that hardly makes them identical. Magma is much more of a complete transformation than Fire, Magma being molten rock and all. They might be similar in as much as they both incorporate a heat themed element in their design but I don't agree that Magma should replace Fire pets altogether (not that I'd be bothered tbh, I've never wanted to own a Fire pet LOL).

I think part of the problem is it's a colourfill. Not in a "customisation is awful and everything sucks like this" way, more that because they all follow the same lines for clothing compatibility, the place the Magma pet has fire is the same place the Fire version has fire. You can flick between the two in tabs and it looks like one is basically an overlay of the other (a slightly messier Fire). I don't dislike the colour apart from the aforementioned lighter outlining problem, but they do look awfully similar.
Re: 1st Look at the new "Magma" Pets: Magma Xweetok!
The red does work within the body of the pet, giving it a resemblance to larva - black on the surface with cracks showing the red-hot rick underneath. But around the edges it doesn't really work and makes the whole pet look rather busy and unclear, and almost like a negative-image. The boundary between the tail and ruff, for example. There's far too much going on in the eyes.
It's such a different style from the usual I don't know whether I like it or not (above quibbles aside). With the right background and accessories it would look quite impressive. Whether it's something the site actually needs (given that we already have the conceptually-similar FIre pets) is debatable.

I like it. although I do think that they should make it a moltara colour instead of fire. that way, they could do steampunk pets as well as the magma pets.
