@Usul: Yeah, that's the old picture :D.

I like it. Her hooves bug me, though.

True about the hooves, but then I was never quite comfortable with the idea that she'd stand on all fours and carry all these volatile magical potions in her MOUTH, either.

But as a magician, couldn't she just hoover or float them to the right spot?

The Slushie Shopkeeper has been remade!

It's alright. The beak annoys me, and it looks a bit too cheery for me, but it's not bad overall :B.

That beak is really, really horrible.

I kinda like the backround, though.

It randomly gaining a thumb is a bit weird.
I do like how the shop is now a restaurant now, that's neat. I'm surprised they are turning these out so quickly, I figured it'd be a year or more before we saw any updated shopkeepers, and we've had four in a short period of time.

I like the picture but might have chosen a different eyecolour. The only thing I don't get is the shop, maybe I don't know that well what slushies are, but shouldn't there be some kind of cooling instead of a fireplace? I think the shop itself is very nicely done and it looks cosy, but it doesn't look like what I would expect a slushie shop to look. This looks more like a perfect place to get hot chocolat or gluhwein.

I imagine there has to be some sort of method to that Eyrie's madness if the shop has managed to remain open for this many years. Perhaps the fireplace is there to warm you up after freezing your insides with a slushie.

I don't really like this one :/ I mean, it was definitely a much needed update, but the new one's too bright. And looks too cheery. Oh well :B.

What exactly IS that thing on his head? I always thought he just had horns, but in the new drawing they look to be coming out of his hat-thing. I don't see how he's too cheery, though-- he's selling the bright and colourful fruits he grows on a sunny island, so I'm not sure why he'd be other than cheerful. And he isn't holding that cane thing any more, which always looked puzzlingly like he'd raided Geraptiku for it, or sticking his tongue out like he's just swallowed a lemon-- so all in all, good revamp to my eyes.

I don't know, I liked him being slightly sinister. I saw him as a bit of a witchdoctor; sure, he's only selling fruit, but who knows what sort of hallucinogenic or otherwise untoward effects they might have, like dodgy mushrooms.

I miss his staff :(
Overall I'm rather neutral on the revamp. It's not the best we've had so far and the art seems very dated/pixelated. But at least he's not an animated flash image so that's a plus! I always assumed his horns came from a hat, so I'm not bothered by that.

Faerieland Bookshop Shopkeeper has gotten a makeover.

I like it! The background with the light shining in and the books are nicely done.

Yowza! I'd let her put her books in my shelf any day of the week!
