Darigan and Dimensional Elephantes

Post by RNA »

Darigan: Too much clutter, head looks empty. I like the forehead markings but I feel this is a ripoff of the much more successful Chomby (which was in turn inspired by the Darigan Uni)? The tusks should be a different color because they look out of place.

Dimensional: Too much shading compared to the last two Dimensionals, which were pretty flat. I like that it's green but. Does anyone have a large version?

Edit: the Darigan Elephante had a hat added but it looks rather anticlimactic. It does make the whole composition more balanced...

No big 'uns yet because TNT haven't updated the rainbow pool...

Darigan is looking increasingly out of date as a colour compared to the more modern colours, and this Elephante is definitely no exception. The reptilian red eye is excellent but the body's pretty underwhelming.

Dimensional looks very flashy, I'd like to see the large version before I pass judgement on the blotches but suffice to say I like glowy green things almost as much as I like glowy blue things.

EDIT:

Why did TNT suddenly decided to release a bunch of rushed Darigan pets?

To try and get the colour over and done with? I suspect that it's a colour which the younger audience doesn't like that much. I'm just guessing though.

Darigan: I can appreciate what they were going for with the more realistic tusks, but they just don't look right to me. I think it's because real elephants have skin over the top of their tusks next to the trunk; the closest you can get with the Elephant's basic line art is something closer to the Tyrannian's tusks.

Now, with that aside, the purple accents are... rather unpleasant to me; a dark blue might have worked better. I like the reptilian eye and the markings they have look fine, but the whole thing feels rather... underwhelming. Maybe it just needed more markings or something should have been done with the ears (make them webbed, perhaps?) but overall it's just... there.

Tl;dr - Nothing bad, nothing amazing.


Dimensional: There's really not much to say about this; it's on par with the other dimensional pets, and if you like the color you'll probably like this. The green's a nice shade and is probably the appealing to the eyes in terms of the dimensional pets so far.

Tl;dr - Average for the color. The green works nicely.

The brush work on the Dimensional looks really sloppy. Even I could make neater highlights D:<

I actually like the Dimensional's blotches, it gives the pet sort of a plasma look.
