Pets
So as December is pretty much here, the holidays are spreading cheer among the land of Ay, and as v2 is making it's way around we're kicking the Christmas spirit into gear by debuting the new way recolors of current pets will be changed.
How this will work is a site wide poll will be held that will stay up for 3 days (our trial version will only run for a day), with the old color version displayed and the recolor version displayed and we will ask the users to please vote whether or not they would like to see the pet updated. In order for the recolor to be implemented, the poll results must be at least 60%/40% vote split in favor of the recolor. I would also like to add that from now on, when we upload new recolors, you will not have the option to request the original version.
So here is our test run, the Festive Melo. The poll will end on December first at 12:00 am!
Old Version vs New Version

So if the poll passes I'll never be able to have the old one? Well that's balls... Mine is a parent and I would prefer it to stay that way instead of mysteriously gaining new aspects that no longer apply to baby.

Firestar - You will probably get to change it back just like the previous recolor.
For this one, I love the new one :)

I think the 60-40 thing is going to be no problem.
Update all the way, the new one is much cuter and balanced. :)

...I shivered when I made eye contact with the new one. The new one is superior in the marking department, but those eyes. o_O

No, from now on you won't be able to get them changed back. You can submit a metal custom crystal to keep it that old color, but recolors are now a site wide decision. We're also still in alpha so things can be changed at any time without notice. We allowed change backs before when we did things without letting you guys know, but now that it's up to the users whether or not it gets updated we're removed this option. We're weeding out some of the pets that aren't up to standard and making them so. When v2 comes around, all new pets will be done up to standard before being added so we won't have this problem again.

I like the new one much better, but that awkward shape of red on the muzzle bothers me. I'd prefer if it were arced the other way, or if the entire muzzle was white.

I like the new version better than the old as well. I like the green tipped ears and paws. I'm also glad the miscellaneous green patch at the bottom of the tail is not there on the update, it kind of made me dislike the color.
