Same here. I don't like Halloween pets that have already been done (Mummy, witch, ect.). I would like to hav seen something new. The artwork is great though.PharaonicQuiche wrote:I do like the execution... I just don't like the concept. Never was big on the whole Frankenstein trip, I guess.

Halloween Draik
It isn't bad... I was just hoping for something a bit more original that hadn't been done before, especially for a pet as "special" and expensive as the Draik.
Still, for a generally overused Halloween idea, it's pretty good. I like the circle pose lots (especially how, if you look at it the right way, it almost looks like it has ONE big bolt driven right through its scrawny little neck. XD) The shade of green used for its skin is a little too bright and limey though.

I'm not a draik fan but I can definitely live with first 4 emotion poses and beatan one. They show a lot of character even if the halloween costume they picked isn't an original one. I even sort of like angry one a lot - it reminds me of imprisoned Sirius Black for some reason... anyways, it all falls apart at battle poses for me - I loathe those on original draik and these have not been reposed a bit. Ugh!

I third this sentiment. I think it's very well done for what it is, but I don't know, the concept itself does nothing for me. It would be better to have a skeletal, ghosty dragon or something. Not something dressed up as Frankenstein's monster. Still better than a normal draik, though.Monkeyguy wrote:Same here. I don't like Halloween pets that have already been done (Mummy, witch, ect.).

...Okay! (After hours of deliberation) That's what I don't like about it! I saw that and I liked the slight redraw of the pose, but yeah, the head is huge! Also, I'm also really getting sick of the same few regurgitated ideas for Halloween pets (Witch, Frankenstien, Devil, etc.) It's really not all that hard to come up with something more original, like the person who said "Bride of Frankenstien" would be an excellent idea for the usul since there was a perfect usuki already released that could be a model for the species.....Huggles wrote:Bleh. It's still piss poor excuse for a dragon...., and shrunk the size of its head...No, it'd still be awful.
....BRING BACK THE OLD HALLOWEEN USUL! *cries*

...Damn.
I was hoping for something really original and cool when I clicked this thread, so it was a dissapointment to come face to face with this.
I mean, this kind of thing's been so overdone for the Halloween colour, and I was expecting draiks to get something really kickass for Halloween. Bleh, I just don't like it much. It's boring. Nothing wrong with the artwork, just I was hoping for something better.
