Pirate's shading seems a little flat, but those are some stylish accessories. That's a nice coat. Shame it doesn't have any kind of piratical expression or scars.
Hmm...! Mixed feelings on the pirate. I think it's great, aside from the lack of pirate-y expression, but I also wonder what it would have been like as a redraw. Still, rather nifty. I love the coat and the hat.
Split is nice, I agree with what's been saidabout the colour not being as eye-burning as it used to and it looks nice on the new Draik pose.
It's a shame the Pirate's expression isn't different but it lokos very nice. I love the jacket and the hook hand ^_^. I also love the gold on the end of the tail an thr hat is very stylish. It looks more like a navalman than a proper Pirate but that's what I like about it.
Looks lik Draiks get a pretty good day this year ^_^.
Split looks quite nice, as does Pirate, but I don't really like all of that gold lace stuff, and I think it needs to be angry. Overall, they're alright, but really I just don't like the new Draiks anyway.
I like all the gold on the pirate one, though I agree that it's expression should have been changed. Draiks in general(excepting mutant) look better with the revamp. Split is actually pretty good for split. I like how the pose of the tail works to keep the purple all on one side.
Remember that you can mix and match colours now--I have skunk/christmas and yellow/royal Zafaras. With that in mind, if I ever got a pirate draik, I would then repaint it shadow and re-place the pirate accessories. Since the base is just a recolour.
Split... eh, nice for those who like split, I suppose.
I love draiks post revamp and have considered morphing one of my pets into one, but neither of these colors do much for me. The pirate hat is so small and unimpressive. Pirate Kiko was done much better, in my opinion.
My only problem with Split, is the same problem I have with all split pets. I wish that the purple colour was on the right side of the pet, since that's the side we see more of. The orange is pretty in small doses, but a bit too bright in larger quantity.
The pirate looks fun, adventurous, and uncluttered to me. If I had a draik, I'd paint it pirate. I agree the expression could have been more angry, though.
If you're ever in doubt, throw a pepper in the air. If it fails to come down, you have gone mad, so don't trust in anything.
