Island moehog

I like that they used white for the base, but the accessories drown it. Note to artists: just because there's space doesn't mean you have to put something there.

There are a lot of accessories, but that's not such a bad thing post customization. It's more of a mix and match set, rather than a package deal. If I had this pet, I would keep the necklace and the flower, but not the earings, and I would keep either the skirt or the ankle bands, but not both.

The white base with tan lines works really well for the Moehog, since it's not naturally the prettiest of pets. Somehow the white and green make it look prettier.

I don't think it's over accessorized but I do think they should have done something different with the front ankle bands, since they tend to blend into the skirt. As Yvonne pointed out, this is no longer a static package deal, so any excess could easily be removed ore even replaced.

The nature white/tan color is rather easy on the eye - but it's a bit too much with all the green . . . .

Please hand me my Coming Apocalypse Survival Kit, because it's a darn' pretty-looking Moehog. Seriously. I normally don't like them at all (Maddie was one for too long, and the ridiculousness got wearing) but this one I could actually take seriously. I love the white body and the leafy skirt. Like a lot of colours, though, it seems more suited to a girl pet than a boy pet-- am I just being sexist, or has anyone else noticed this? I can't think of a non-Royal, non-Usuki colour that would be far more appropriate for a boy pet than a girl, but there are quite a few that seem to carry a feminine image.

This is rather cute, but if I ever happened upon one, I'd remove the grass skirts and ankle things. The designs (from what you can see that's not hidden by clothes) are really very pretty.

I have to disagree with you Rainbow Daydreamer. I have far far more male pets then I do female, and the majority of my pets are Faerie. In nature, in most species, the males are far more colorful and vibrant then the female of the species. I'm a wildlife major so I spend a lot of time looking at animals and distinguishing genders, so that may just be an offshoot of my personal experience, but I find it hard to look at a say a Faerie Pteri and say "Ohh look its a girl". Looks like a male to me :P

The only species I would say looked female are Usukis, but they have bows so its a bit skewed in that direction anyway :P

I think Unis look female as well.

I feel like Seerow, most of my pets are men :) Especially my Faerie Pteri and the Lenny I'm target-zapping for Faerie. (I found the old Faerie Lenny had a far too feminine face for a body shape that looked more male)

This pet is too crowded, but I'd love to use the Lost Desert Moehog anklet with those rings.

I didn't hate it on site, which being it's a Moehog, means that TNT did a pretty good job with it.

The color scheme is very nice. I don't like that necklace.

I agree that the ankle bands should've been done differently. Maybe bracelets would've worked better. They have that wooden jewelry on other island pets.

Hmmm...I think it's really good. Even though, as Gumdrop said, the ankle bracelets should have been better. ^^ TNT is starting to do a great job again.
