Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

[ratonhnhaké:ton]

I voted no, for a few reasons:

1. I actually really love the "Arab" lines that Equi had, as well as the first ponies, and I really don't want to see those gone.
2. You're erasing some CS history, and its neat to see how it progressed.
3. It just seems like a discredit to Equi by removing her tag off of her lines and her designs, and placing the yulynh tag on them instead.
4. Same designs, sure, but you're also taking away the uniqueness of the original artist's designs. They lose...something when they're transferred over.
5. Items are easier to convert, and players are very creative when it comes to dressing up their pets anyway.
6. Conversion time takes away from the time that whoever is converting these can use instead to create new pets or otherwise.
7. I'm not fond of the new drafts. The face is too short, and there's something weird going on where the hind leg meets the barrel (like the body needs to be just a touch longer).

As well as some other very good points that a lot of other users are bringing up.

*bows down to Tyr*

This is perfect, I agree with all of what you said.

So why do the equimage drafts need to be updated? There are no items that fit them anyway.

There is no reason to update them, maybe they want all library's for the horses (besides Malk and such) to be by Yun.
I think they should make a new lineart for Zebras, since some of them are on the Rare's list and are quite valuable.

Keep consistency, essentially. c: I imagine the zebras would go on the current pony lines, but I'm not 100% sure.

That sums up all my ideas perfectly. I could not agree more.

Same here. As well as while being transferred, tiny details are bound to be lost forever, no matter how hard anyone tries.

That's so true. :C I was planning on collecting them, too...Sadly, there is no point in it now that it's pretty much a done deal. -sigh- I'll miss them, that's all I can say.

yes this is the most perfect explanation ever!!

I think the Zebras should NOT change. D: They are very rare and part of it is the design, so it could lower the value...Plus I find them adorable....:3

[Coalchaser]

Zebras most likely will not be changed, at least not yet. Tess said something earlier about holding a vote about it later on, if it is decided that the linearts will be updated. Roadkill PPS will probably not be changed either.

The new draft lineart will be used for new adoptables in the future, thus meaning that there will be two different draft horse lines unless the old ones are converted.

I am going to agree with this completely, particularly the second and third reasons. To add my own reasons, personally, I much preferred the original pony lines to the pony lines that have followed since. Some of my favorite CS pets are in those lines, and quite frankly the change of lineart will definitely change my feelings for these pets as the lines are part of the reason I love these pets so much, in particular the Roadkill PPS. That pet would just not work in the current pony lines, and without the history or knowledge as to why this particular PPS is the way it is, it just loses its charm entirely. All in all, I vote no. It would be neat to see in some of the designs and the later lines, but as a whole, I prefer the horses and ponies as they are.

Edit: Seems to be as though I was ninja'd while writing down my response, but seeing as how the Roadkill PPS was just one of the reasons for me to vote no, I remain with the same vote~

[sapiosexual]

I do agree with some of the things people are saying, but it's not like the lineart will disappear off of the face of the earth. Some users are probably saving it to their computers now, or Tess/Nick may add a system to view the old linearts or something to be able to switch the lineart back. Can we just get over it, please?

C'mon, equi's designs were unique and don't look right on the new ones. I love equi's....

equi's are probably either shooting up in demand of falling like heck

[jayus]

Do you guys have permission from Equimagine to take her designs? I love her ponies, and how do you change the PPS and keep it looking as adorable in the current lines? How do you do the Roadkill PPS? I think it would kill demand.
