Agreed I'm scared for dice/buckskin/roadkill pps since the dice were the first I ever had and they are all three very popular

I was going to say no, but the new draft horse lineart nearly gave me a heartattack. I'm curious on how the roadkill pps will be pulled off to.

Tess mentioned earlier that the roadkill PPS would likely have to stay in the old lines as the new ones don't look like roadkill.

Its basically does indeed say that she did admit that she referenced/traced them ( though used for CS on accident).
Then again I do totally agree, I don't think we should be saying rude things about her.

This. Couldn't have said it any better.
Sure, it's art theft (and that is bad), but it was accidental, so we shouldn't exactly be bashing her and wishing for her to go to that underworld place with fire o.O
edit: I did not mean that I thought the actual tracing was accidental! I meant that I agree with turbocatz's statement of "though used for CS on accident" DD: Sorry for the confusion!


Still on the fence about this. Logically speaking, I'd say no (big concern being that one of those photographers is going to come along and file a copyright complaint), but I admittedly want to be a little selfish and keep the lines for nostalgia xD so that's a yes... (and my OCD says that if I'm going to save the current linearts' pictures, then I should save transparent images of them, but alas that will take too long and my OCD says no-no-no -brick'd-)

Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.
I neither read nor speak between the lines. But I will analyze your language.

Okay guys, i'll throw in my two cents on this.
I've never been a fan of equimagine's lines, they're off looking and as many of us know, might be traced.
But I still voted no to the transformation project. Our artists here at CS are already busy enough doing the monthly pets, adding these line changes is just going to take more time from them. I honestly think that it would be a giant pain to go through /years/ of horses to redo all of the stages, not to mention it would take forever and a day. Plus, what happens if we go through another line change, redo all of the redone horses? To me, that seems like a giant waste of time and a stubborn move for everyone. All of these "special lines" just seem silly to me, but that's just my opinion.

I also think that some of the designs wouldnt be the same, and it would be sort of not crediting Equimagine at all because of the Yulyhn tag on the lines. Equimagine was an artist here at one point, and you can't just forget about her. And about items not fitting all linearts; a lot of the users here are really creative in their use of items and can think of something to replace the items with, or use them in a clever way.

overall, i'm just not fond of the idea for multiple reasons and i really hope we dont change the lines.

Equis PPs Horses are adorable, but a change sounds awesome to me =) The new drafts are looking georgerous.

During my time on cs I made the experience that either Yulynh's and Equimage's Horses are hard to trade off. There are more people who were frequently looking for Yulynh's lineage, though.

Slothly wrote:Maybe, there could be some new and some old- randomly changed, so people would have to trade to get whichever lines they preferred. They'd still be the same rarity and stuff, but say if someone preferred the old lines, they would still be available to trade for?


Not sure if this is a good idea. People could push the values of their original horses, because there are only a few original ones around. It sounds pretty much like what they did on neopets :D

    Oh, goodness no please. :c
    The only thing I would like changed is the drafts. Other than that, I like the equimagine line out so much better than the new ones. The conversions displayed don't look very good.. Please don't change them!

If you need to find me I'll be there.

I love the idea
I also love the new draft horse. Would there be new designs in that lineart or will they be set aside only for the transformation?

What will they do with her one PPS dragon she made, and her PPS foals, and plus the donkeys? Will there line-art stay the same? and as for the unicorns, will they be converted as well? Might be interesting :)
