Chai and Dragon revamp (+ staff discussion)

[tallan]

Chai: Bear thing, prettier than before, but I don't really care.
Dragon: OH MAN I NEED ONE, LIKE RIGHT NOW. I think.

Chai also comes in Marsh now:


I like it.

[Kayla_baby]

the marsh colour looks cool.

[Rustyblu]

they look really good now ^^

the dragon especially!

who drew them? D:

[hebdenhippy]

Aw, the Dragon doesn't look nearly as oriental now, I'm not too keen. I like the Chai though, cute ^-^

[ladynight6]

Oh wow the Dragon is amasing. Looks less lazy now.

[FourEyes]

Meh, I never really cared about the Chai. It looks nice though, and the Marsh one is cute. The Dragon's really nice, though.

[Rustyblu]

still it the old pose

In the comments to the news post, Kelpie said:

NOTE: Some colors are still awaiting revamps.

So they'll come.

[Rustyblu]

oh D: ok thanks for clearing that up ^^

[Wingsrising]

I don't really care about the Chai one way or another, so no real opinions there. It looks fine.

I'm not so sure about the Dragon. I don't really like the floating pose and it appears to have no bones.

The Graveyard is still in the old pose because they'll eventually make it a redraw, like most other Graveyards are/should be. As a huge Chai fan, I like it, lots and lots. It's not flat anymore, it actually has some personality and is a lot cuter. All the recolors are nice, too, though the green leaf on the collar stands out a little too much sometimes.

As for the Dragon, I'm sad it lost its whiskers. I don't know why they couldn't have been kept as part of the design, because that's part of what made Dragons... Dragons. The art is better, definitely, but I'm just a little sad by the anatomy changes.

[Avarice]

So, uh, is it bad that my first instinct on seeing the new Dragon was to copy+paste it into Photoshop to try and turn the green into purple?

Not too fond of the new Chai, but I never liked those things in the first place.


hehe, spyro.

The new Chai is notably less loathsome than the old one. Bravo. However, while the new art is better, I don't like the new Dragon at all. I don't like that it has wings now (I enjoyed the irony of the old one being wingless), I don't like the plethora of other, more subtle changes to its anatomy, I don't like that it's lost its contemplative expression. I didn't care for the old Dragon, mind you, but this one is even <i>more</i> boring.

[Bacon]

Ugh, give me a break. Fix the damn site before worrying about a redraw damnit!

[Rustyblu]

Those are actually quite nice colours ^^
