I think it'd have probably looked better with a darker shell and lighter body. :| Still, not bad. :3

I pushed the magic button Joeno gave me, so it should be on the front page soon.

I think this is very nice. I'm not a fan of the random blue that's used on some shadow pets, but I think blue eyes would have suited this better.

I was half expecting a blue shell. I'm glad to see they didn't as I loathe the blue as it completely defeats the purpose of the pet blending in with the shadows.

Bori's generally have good colorfills and this isn't any different. Yay no blue

YAYYYY

Something weird is going on with this. It's been uploaded to the images50.neopets.com server which is why it isn't showing up on the front page. I thought it was hosted on Neonutters, since TNT does upload and delete images occasionally, which is why this was temporarily locked.

This color's pretty nice for a Bori. It's not something that is absolutely awe-inspiring but I like it.

It's really hard to mess up a Bori, so I rather like this by default.

However, I like the purple/blue color they use on some of the Shadow and wish they had used it here as well.

Same, I was hoping for the blue shell and accents actually, I think it would have looked nice. But I really like the colour of blue they use on shadow pets.

Maybe if someone's bored they could whip up a blue/black one. ;P

I'm also in the club for imagining before I clicked on this thread something with purple/blue on it.

That said, I like its simplicity; I think if purple or blue were added, it might not be done right, and then we would all mourn for it. Or something.

When our scripts search for images, they only search images.neopets.com rather than images50.neopets.com (at least, I'm assuming that's what they're doing). The same thing happened with the faerie grarrl. It seems to be a new trend that TNT upload only to the images50 server.

Not much we can do except poke Joeno. um... *pokes*

Oh, and the shadow bori- it's okay, an adequate colourfill.

I too like the purplish colour on shadow pets, it makes them feel more shadowy - otherwise they're just black, and a bit dull.

However I find boris pretty dull, so I have no problem with that on this pet.

I like it very much, maybe a lit bit lighter will be cool!

There's not much I can do here, I can't be sure that all pets on the standard images server will also be on the images50 server (has anyone ever checked that?) and searching on more than one pose basically breaks the entire script, with a pet being marked as unreleased with one pose, and as non-existing with the other. That's also why I can't really fix it manually.

So, yeah, back to the rock. I thought I saw one of those Bori scuttling around here. Boring colourfills...

I am a huge bori fan (even though I sadly only have one, and don't really have plans for more yet O_o), and I think this is quite nice. I'm not too fond of blue on most shadow pets but here I think a little accenting with it would have been nice.

Anyway, it's just a colorfil, but it works good on the bori, because they're lovely by default. So hooray.

I wish the body were a little lighter - the facial features are a little hard to distinguish because they get lost in the blackness. This was a problem with a lot of the older Shadow pets, but I had thought that the artists had been good in choosing a bit lighter of a shade for the body.

I'm glad that the shell isn't blue. A blue (or purple) shell would have been too much, in my opinion. I am similarly glad that the claws and tail tuft are black. However, I wish that the eyes were that nice shadow blue colour instead of brownish. It's a very rpetty colour, and then the Bori would have gone better with the other Shadow pets.

As far as I remember, Shadow Paint Brushes are still relatively inexpensive (relatively meaning that all Paint Brushes are ridiculously inflated; Shadow is no exception), which would make this colorfill a decent option for Bori owners.
