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.
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 liked the forum mashup with a smaller tail.

The wide muzzle still looks funny on the melo. Its had to change something that was small into something bid with out redrawing a new pose to make it look good

We have this, which looks more like the old melo, but I do not like it as much, nor do I think it would match the other pets as well.

Well at least the neck got fixed :3.. but even with the shading the muzzle looks a bit off i find the the way it positioned the nose seems a bit big and doesn't connect to the eyes like the old one did. I love the paws, ears, body, eyes its just the muzzle now x-x

I didn't think the nose was supposed to connect to the eyes. Consider it an effort at making the face look less flattened and the head look wider, and less blocky.

Mostly Dew's blueline, with some minor edits.
I really like the new wide muzzle, but I seem to be in the minority there.
