Oh my goodness - this was a surprise! The colors, first of all, are just GORGEOUS. absolutely lovely shades, wonderful patterns on the wings, tail and legs - just lovely! The sad pose is wonderful:
And I can't wait to see the rest of the poses!
The wings are a little weird and don't look entirely functional, but they're so pretty I just don't care! I NEVER thought I would want a techo, but this could easily make it onto my needs-list. *sigh* I just wish we could have more than 4 pets per account. i'm running out of room! At the very least, if I lab-zapped this, it'd definetly be a keeper.

As I said before Neo based the fae Techo off a real live lizard species the flying lizard also know as the Flying Dragon see looks just like the fae techo just less cartoony and the wings are functional.

I can't wait for the battle poses hopefully they'll be as good as the fae techo itself. :3

That's what I thought of too. Personally I think it's wonderfully clever. Better than turning it purple and slapping butterfly wings on it at any rate.ChibiDragon86 wrote:As I said before Neo based the fae Techo off a real live lizard species the flying lizard also know as the Flying Dragon see looks just like the fae techo just less cartoony and the wings are functional.

I think it's gorgeous really... possibly the best Techo color right now (maybe tied with Tyrannian, which I still love just for the concept even if the art is a bit old), I adore the splotchy patterns and the yellow and blue actually look pretty nice together.
The sad pose is absolutely adorable!

Ooh. I really like this. I can't believe I'm saying that about a Techo, but, there you have it. :O The yellow and blue go really well on this pet, and it's so flowy and well-drawn -- I might have to think about making room for one of these guys, too ;__;
I hope the battledome poses are just as excellent, too. It'd be a shame if they cop out and copy/paste the regular Techo poses :/

Wow. I'm floored by how much I like this. I don't know yet if I want one, but still, lovely. It's good to see TNT doing something both clever and pretty with a pet that usually gets pretty viciously boned on colors.
Edit: This is kind of an odd thing to say, but it looks really good in the small poses. Lots of pets don't. Look at the default Draik in one of the small poses -- appalling. But this design sizes down very cleanly.

Well... "functional," yes, but it doesn't fly like a bird, it glides. So yes, definitely functional, but (though I imagine you didn't mean this) you sounded like you were saying it could actually fly.ChibiDragon86 wrote:As I said before Neo based the fae Techo off a real live lizard species the flying lizard also know as the Flying Dragon see looks just like the fae techo just less cartoony and the wings are functional.
However, c'mon, people; we're talking about a world with Elephantes. If they can fly, this can.

I'm also among the ones who saw this and went "oh wow....oooooo..."
I wouldn't want one personally, but that's just because I've already got some wafflings on other colors I like to look at but not enough to fork over NP over...not just yet anyway.
The only thing that bugs me about this is the antennae...they look terribly out of place. But they're cute and faerie-ish, so I'll forgive them.
And yeah, they could have made the wings a tad darker-splotched or made the body splotches lighter to match. But I'm also not terribly bothered by it, maybe because the wing splotches are close enough to the belly color though that's a lighter-still purply-blue.

Funny, I've always thought of the wings as vestigial. I actually think I've seen some official art of an airborne Elephante, but when I'm not looking at such an image I simply cannot accept the idea of one of them flying.AngharadTy wrote:However, c'mon, people; we're talking about a world with Elephantes.
