@nut yay ❀️

watagachi • 1 Jan 2022, 1:18 PM

Happy new year ❀️

prairie • 1 Jan 2022, 1:22 PM

That update is way more crisp, pixilation be gone. The shading improvement is much better too, makes it alot more 3d. However, will say it leaves the remaining too looking quite odd. I figure those will be updated later on in the month??

prairie • 1 Jan 2022, 1:23 PM

My 2 cents of input is that I think the line weight for the zamaja (teen/last) and vandao. I can see the lines, but it doesn't obstruct. The Zamaja last has alot of detail for a small image, and I love it for that! I will say it still feels alittle lacking of shading somehow.

prairie • 1 Jan 2022, 1:25 PM

I think for stuff such as that, a shading style more towards cell shading (not a more blended shading, but blocking out 2 tones of shading for highlights & shading each) might work best. But keep up the work!

solaris • 1 Jan 2022, 2:30 PM

Goodness, I love the Hanna update. Especially the egg! Much less pixelated. Well done!

solaris • 1 Jan 2022, 2:31 PM

*Habba Lol

jlya • 1 Jan 2022, 3:07 PM

The Habba is even better now πŸ˜ƒ Love that these are cave monthlies!

snowywinter • 1 Jan 2022, 6:07 PM

Aww, I really liked the original egg stage of the Habba ☹️

hinokazes • 1 Jan 2022, 8:15 PM

I prefered the original images for both the egg and stage 1 pf the habba... oh well, guess I'm the minority, and the new ones are still great ^^

glaselkj • 1 Jan 2022, 10:49 PM

i wish i hv the water and storm deers if anyone has any of these two as girls pm me ok?

kat-chan • 1 Jan 2022, 11:59 PM

Tbh I loved the old version better

mindwhiper • 2 Jan 2022, 2:42 AM

Well, I hope CRW will be drawed much better, I don't think cave monthlies deserve my time or money this time... Love deers and some rotting things, but also I love GOOD ART.

hinokazes • 2 Jan 2022, 4:21 AM

@ian_hives Come on... Why are you being rude right at the start of the year ? You're allowed to not like the pets, but saying that the art isn't good just because YOU don't like it is straight up disrespectful to the artist '-'

veritaspunk • 2 Jan 2022, 8:35 AM

@ian_hives @hinokazes I've always felt that we should have the option to pick from the original & redrawn so if we wanted we could obtain both, so long as the need to redraw wasn't from a copyright correction :-)

hinokazes • 2 Jan 2022, 8:50 AM

@veritaspunk I agree. I remember when the style of the Meriton was changed. I'm not a fan of the new one tbh, I prefered the old one :/ Tho, my biggest issue with the Meriton is that stages 2, 3 and 4 just look like pictures taken from 3 different angles, not a pet growing up.

mindwhiper • 2 Jan 2022, 9:08 AM

@hinokazes because I have voice. There is no rules against saying "I don't like something". I really appreciate what artist doing the job, but why I must be silent if I disappointed? I don't like toxic positive when I must say only joyfull things, sorry.
