Melo Redraw?

Pets


Sketch!

The Melo is the only remaining pet from the old art. The art itself is three years old, and has many proportion flaws.

An update would consist of:
- all new colorations occurring on the new melo base
- old lineart can be submitted for two months past the revamp completion without requiring Dawn Crystal
- existing customs have a 6-month period to convert to the new base for free
- old and new can breed together fine with LBC, where old x old = old, but old x new = new, as with all other revamps we've done

A revamp would take 1-3 months for us to complete as it is. Above is the sketch we have for our redraw melo. It is trying to be as close to the original melo proportion-wise as possible, while trying to fix some of the glaring errors on the original.

After that comes the lineart, then we start recoloring all the old colorations onto the new lineart. (: There are two ways we can go forward from here.


What should we do about the melo?
Yeah, let's revamp it
No change at all, keep the old one

So, yeah. What do you want?

BTW, you can redline the sketch if you want.

Here's something a bunch of people on the forums did

I like the one from the people on the forums. :3 I don't like the mouth/nose on the first sketch.

The ear floofs bug me on the mash up.

No tail fold--please? It looks silly and is a pain to work with. The forum mashup version still has a long way to go. D:


Also guys FYI the bigger the tail is on the base image the more percentage points it'll take to redraw it to be a dragon tail, or a stubby tail, or six tails, or to be redrawn in exactly the same pose or w/e else you guys like to do with the tails. So keep that in mind when you're redlining it to be RLY BIG AND FLUFFY. If you all push for a really giant tail on the default base, you'll only have yourself to blame when you want a mane + bedroom eyes + a tummy tuck + wings + a completely redrawn tail and it ends up Gold.

So...what about all of the old line art those of us have bought? Will the site artists be redrawing those for us without us having to shell out more? That's my question.

I've been avoiding commenting but this sketch and all the red lines for it... aren't my cup of tea.
I like that we're keeping the same pose, but this does not do it for me. Every edit makes it look like a sausage dog, and I kind of liked the angular quality it had before.
