Wordy Foghawk is wordy:
Nightmare Ghostly: Nice. Nightmare needs more freakishly improbable anatomy. Remember the Kumos, with the melting mouth? Yeah. I don't particularly care for ghostlies, but this one is pretty good.
Nightmare Hikei: It seems a bit
short, somehow - perspective a bit off, perhaps? - but the tails and back legs are great, and I love the expression.
Nightmare Pherret: Terribly reminiscent of the
hydrus tigrean. I like the deep shading on the back leg, and would enjoy the face if the eyes didn't seem so sleepy (it looks more like a yawn than a snarl).
Graveyard Feli: Someone said that it didn't look much like a Subeta pet, and I entirely agree. Maybe it's the thin, almost blurred lines, maybe the really light shading, but the style seems very off. Kinda neat other than that.
Graveyard Cadogre: ew ew ew. :< Its head isn't attached in the right place (the neck should be at the back, not the bottom) and it looks really bulbous. Also, its crest is huge, or perhaps the earfins are small. The chest is strangely rounded. The pose is dull and static, not even broken; its seat is too even - it looks more like the missing leg hasn't been drawn in than that there is actually nothing there to bear weight. I can get a sense of the idea behind it, but it really didn't come through. I definitely won't be getting one of these.
And - well, I know that this doesn't make much sense considering it's rusted metal, but is it just me, or have Cadogres in general gotten less shiny recently? The lines and shading on this one just don't look like metal; neither did some of the other recent colors, really. Actually, something about it reminds me of the Graveyard Wyllop - maybe the unusually light, thin lines, maybe the almost waxy look of the shading, I don't know. But it looks distinctly off. (Not in the same way as the Feli, but still odd.)
BR Feli: Awesome. I'm not a Feli person, but this is a really solid pet. The expression is great; the pose, well balanced. It works.
BR Mallarchy: Great revamp; all the right changes.
BR Cadogre: At first I was really disappointed by this, probably because I've been waiting for it for
so long, but having managed to swallow my improbably high expectations, well, it's OK. It has the same lack of shininess that I mentioned above with the GY, there is so much blood that it's actually a bit distracting, and the back spikes are so close together that they look a bit confused, but overall it's passable - and maybe a good base for some tweaking for an overlay. Worth a try.
(I must admit that I will kinda miss the snakes. Those were pretty unique.)
BR Wyllop: Something about the unbroken highlights on the tail kinda bothers me - aren't rat tails usually rough? - and it seems a bit grey, but other than that I like it.
BR Irion: I'll just echo what others have said about the pose - very, very, weird. It just looks completely wrong - too tilted, and with the back legs in a very strange place. It doesn't even look like it's falling over, just like it's... hmm... actually, I'm not sure.
Not a normal position, anyway.
BR Kerubi: Pretty good! The only criticisms I would make are that the eyebrows disappear a bit into the grey (and that the lines at the inside corner of its eye look like cartoony lashes), which make its expression flicker between "aren't I so cute" and "heh heh heh".
Overall, a decent batch - some good, some bad. I think the Nightmares came out the best of the lot, but then, I like Nightmare.
