i suppose the "bulldog" aspect comes from its body.. its hind legs are shorter than the forelegs.. and it's very bulky - even more than what you'd expect from a large male lion.
i don't like it. like other people said.. it has a very small head. i also think it's TOO bulky, but it seems a lot of the pets are becoming a great deal more muscular.
its paws seem a bit off - not anatomically, but as if it's standing on an uneven surface.
it also seems like its markings come into conflict with the shading, and its sorta makes my eye wander all over the place without making too much sense of the lines i'm seeing.
seems like it has a ton of potential, just not a pet i'd want.

I actually like this. The paws make sense - lion paws are HUGE, as big as their own heads, or at least close to it. The fierce, yet docileness of it really appeals to me.
Now if someone can just go and create a Spider pe and/or revamp the Serpenths so they look like actual snakes, then my life on Subeta will be complete...

I think this is the second best nuclear pet so far, but the teal mane clashes with the rest of it. Angelic is okay and the colorfils are nicely shaded, but I don't care for it. I also think the paws are too large, but moreover I didn't want yet another cat. Albeit, one that is quite different from the others excluding the Medusa experiment.
What I really wanted to see from a new pet thread was a scorpion or spider. I never got either from Neopets, and Subeta is still sorely lacking in creepy crawlies. Even though I've got a potion all ready for a golden illumis, on that day far from now when I have enough sp for more pet slots, it's just too darn cute.

Agreed. And your variation of the Cream color is made of win.adi_gallia wrote:Arid and Marsh = <3
The small head kind of turns me off, but now that I know it's not entirely lion-based, I'm more accepting of it. I'm not too fond of the Angelic redraw. The colors are nice, and I like the concept of the pose, but the proportions of the angelic version seem to be different from those of the common counterparts (the head is a bit bigger, the body seems a bit shorter, etc.); I can't tell if that's due to the pose itself or of there are genuine proportion differences, though.
This pet isn't really my cup of tea, but I still think it's a very nice addition to the site.

I might have to find myself a name changing thingy and make myself some variation of "Reckonin."adi_gallia wrote:From DNA.Archan is derived from the word "Archangel".
It's pronounced ark-en (or ark-an, if you prefer?).
(Actually, no I woldn't. He's someone's personal character...but any of the other archangel's names would do rather nicely.)

I agree with the criticisms, but I still like the Archan -- I think it's his expression. It just looks so happy and nice. I created one, and I'm hoping for some great redraws. In the meantime, I think I'll make mine twilight (if I can get my hands on a potion -- there aren't many in trades, and none are priced... anyone know what they go for, usually?). The muscles don't bother me as much in that color, and I like the eyes a lot.

I'm ok with it. Body seams to be a cross between hyena and a lion and the facial expression is very soft, not at all unpleasing. My favorite part are two ribbons of mane flying in the wind (I'm a sucker for hair, ribbons, shawls, enc blown by wind).
What I don't like is geometric markings on the body - it's a very muscular pet and markings don't follow the shape of the body at all.
Oh, and angelic has a very dark thick outline - it looks very stiff on such a light coloured pet. And I don't like the face - it's a bit squashed and drunk looking. I feel angelic was additionally outlined in a great hurry.
Halos are a very nice touch though. It'll be interesting to see more redraws.
