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've never been through a revamp of any pet before... so I have a question... can we keep existing customs in the old lines for free or do we have to convert them all to the new lines?

I'd like it if the tail were a bit longer, and the smile, I dislike. D:
It doesn't look like it has the cute :-3 face as the old-lineart melo.So I suggest putting the smile to be more like the old melo, where the smile looks connected to the nose, and, in example: :-3ish? lol xD

I like that it's not too different. Certainly wouldn't mind either keeping current art or changing it.
