They once had a pose like that? o_o

Hm, not too bad... I like the colour scheme. Im still hoping for some kind of redraw, though which redraws are zafaras missing? They have a bunch of pretty nice colours. I've always liked their poses, and opposite to other people's comments here, I don't really think they need a revamp for now... maybe later, when they are done with the worst pets such as usuls, flotsams, etc. All I hope is that whenever is the day TNT decides to revamp zafaras, PLEASE do not make them anorexic freaky things with tiny necks, thick lines and no shading ._. They are my second favourite species... *hides her zafara*

Another thing I just remembered, didnt they make a split zafara a while ago and gave it freckles as well? They better don't start sticking those on all zaff colours O_o

Heh, not really, IIRC the old ranged attack had a little cartoon "swoosh" thing next to its paw that kinda looked like a pipe if you're the type who likes to find inappropriate things in every piece of Neopets art (in other words... pretty much any regular poster on NC :P)

I kinda like it. I'm not sure if I like the colors that much but they are nicely autumny, and the patterns they make are actually pretty darn cool. The only thing that really bugs me is that I think it'd look a lot better without the freckles; I have no idea why those are bugging me so much but they are. X_x

I rather like it, other than the odd freckles. Look so lovely and autumn-ish, as many have already said. Not the geatest use of camo ever, but really not too bad. I wouldn't really mind owning one, but I don't think I'll jump through hoops for one.

Thanks Tiel for the lovely set!

Well, I impulsively bought a paint brush :) I think I'll wait a while to use it, though (besides the fact that the zafara hasn't been released, of course).

No it doesn't! *hugs it protectively*
Aw, not a "tuskaninny" revamp (or even a "kougra" revamp), just a tiny wee techo or kacheek revamp. That wouldn't be so bad...

I think I'm gonna have to lump this in the same camp I put the Electric Aisha... it's a very good execution of the color. The pattern and color are very nice and it looks like it'd actually function as camoflage. I'm not too picky about Camoflage pets looking functional but I kinda prefer the ones that do. However, like the also well executed Electric Aisha, the pet itself is rather stiff, dull, and in need of a revamp. It doesn't need to be terribly drastic, but it needs it.

<i>*cough*</i>

...it's poses still suck. Give us a revamp (but not before the Flotsam [it's poses are BAD], the Scorchio [its poses are even WORSE] and the Jetsam [it has duck feet in the Defensive pose, and looks flat. MORE TEETH!]) to alleviate the horrible, burning pain in my eyeballs.
And maybe a revamp of the Buzz too. Dammit, they always look outdated, except for faerie and Baby.

The freckles look cute and it is indeed autumny, autumny and boring.

Haha, I was wondering if that's what it was going to blend in with. Hide in the mud!

I miss the Zafara pose with the joint too. Maybe all the BD poses should be revamped, since it's mostly those which suck.

I fear a Zafara revamp because I love Zafaras. I think they'll turn them into those sickly thin, lanky messes that a lot of the recent Zafara art has had.

Also, what if they changed the Darigan Zafara? I think I might cry.

Freckles! Yay! ^_^

Yes, I have a thing for freckled things. Maybe that's why I'm the only one that like the Orange spots on Purple pets.

Yeah, probably. ;)

Maybe the zafara art is a little outdated. But with the way TNT has been drawing them recently, I don't trust them to do a revamp I won't hate. They've done good revamps recently, yes. But they've also done some awful ones (which ones these may be is also a matter of personal taste, further complicating the issue).

Besides: the current version is the one I fell in love with and have known for three and a half years. A change now might seriously traumatize me :)

I, too fear a Zafara revamp...at least a major one. They did redo the eyes on the Skunk Zafara last year, and we have made it past another Zafara day without a redraw <whew> - although they did hit us with that awful Mutant...

As for the camo, I really do like it - I would like to paint one of my Z's this. I agree with Aldy on the freckles.. why do they do that ;) (points to the infamous purple)
