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

The sketch is cute, but I think we should stick with the original. It would cause less problems and less work for artists, anyway. Besides, the Melo we have right now is fine in my opinion, even if there are some anatomy issues.

I don't like this new version at all. The face really bugs me, something about the nose position. =( I would be up for a revamp, but seems most of us really want a revamp of the current suggestion first.

Not really liking any of the redlines I'm seeing, but the general suggestions I agree with. Here's my attempt at it. REDRAW: https://i56.tinypic.com/10mkltv.jpg

Oh Gods no... It isn't that I dislike the sketch but I am almost certain a while back someone said the melo's were not being redone so I went out and bought a whole bunch of designs and there is no way I'd be able to make them all in two months time. I knew the soli and gael and phanto were coming so I held off on those but I have to have like 20 melo designs to be made. *Headache*

Iiiiii am not sure. On the one hand, I really like the redraw. On the other... so much... hassle... *twitches*

I really don't see how the anatomy is fixed in this sketch. I'm not sure why I don't like it... The face bugs me. The whole thing looks overly chibi.
