Grey Ogrin

Post by Kamil »

Leaving aside the obligatory whine about 2.0 grey pets, I think the Ogrin suits the new grays - as much as possible, anyway. As a species, they've always struck me as . . . concerned beasties, so adding a bit of woe to the mix worked out fairly well in this case.

I could do without the copper striping, but then I've never been fond of large amounts of that accent, even with 1.0 grays. So all in all, as well as could be expected, I think.

I'll add the big image as soon as one shows up somewhere I can see it. =D

Yep, this looks not too shabby from what I can see. I'm also not enamoured with the stripes, I think they'd've blended in a bit more if they'd been a darker grey. It looks suitably miserable, about as well as could be expected without a re-pose. Is that a tear on its cheek? Can't tell on the small view. EDIT: Yes it is, nice touch!

Ah well, the saddest thing about Grey day was the announcement of a sponsor game from Kraft. Ugh :-P

Can we talk about new petpet colours on theme-day colour threads? (christmas, grey day, halloween?)

If the answer is yes,

I get that we're not getting pet redraws any more, but it would be great if petpets got nice ones. That feepit was like greyscaled and then part of its eye was erased to make it look sad or something. :|

The fir's expression is great though. Wish it was more droopy!

I somewhat called it. It's okay, minus the scar-like markings that they call stripes. -shrugs-
I've always had a soft spot for Ogrins, so I do wonder what they would have looked like in the olden days...

For post 2.0 greys, it's pretty good. I like the tear a lot for some reason, given they can't do much more with them it's nice to see at least that. It also looks much less stoned then past grey pets so kudos there too

I'm more upset about the petpets. Although I agree the Fir's expression is just precious

The Feepit looks like it's done a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson. The Fir is much better, though it immediately reminded me of Michael Gove.

For a post 2.0 Grey, this is acceptable. The Facial expression is ideal, although I would have liked to see a bit of droopiness with the removable Mane/Mohawk.

Just so I can compare... since I don't see ogrins often:

I didn't notice the tears in the eye before. Originally I was going to argue that this was a completely crappy job.

On the bright side, throw a mas on it, and you have a nice looking set of colors for the body. The hair is clearly tritone on the red, and I had to use a ColorPix to verify for myself that there are indeed three shades of grey in the grey ogrin's mane.... 3c3c3c vs. 373737 :|

So in conclusion, par the course.
