Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

[La Roux'd]

I voted yes. I think the problem here is that there are unspoken of things that members are missing/unaware of about equi.
I think the conversion is only right and i don't believe equi should get credit for being the artist on here anymore. This site has gotten more popular and i think to have it be more polished and not have a bunch of funky line-arts is a good move.
The horses and ponies from her art are/were very rarely liked.
I'm kind of shocked at how many people want to keep them cause my thought was the general consensus that no one liked the line-arts by equi. Anyone that's into trading knows that horses, and more specifically, equi horses are a pain to trade. There's many members who put in trade rules specifically, "no equi horses".
I find the old draft horses to be a bit of a joke and have sorely needed replacing. I love the new suggested line-art for it.

Okay, quick idea. I see both sides here now that some points have been made. I actually regret voting yes.

Why not try to make an option in your profile to either use the Yulynh lined re-designs or the equimagine originals? Because you have NO idea how fast the zebra, uni, and the list PPS demand will drop. Including the rainbow mane when they are on the new linearts. The zebras just seem like they belong in the lineart.

And one more thing. The designs Black Heart Always made were, actually, her own characters and one is her own horse! You would need to discuss this with any guest artists.

I also like this idea at first. I prefer the old horse lines, and would be very sad to see them go and some of my favourite pets on new lines I'm not fond of. I mean no disrespect to anyone, I just prefer the old lines. I would love the option to keep them on the old lines.

But the problem I see with this is the problem that arose on Neopets when they introduced the wearables system. It was a massive revamp, but for some pets, they gave the option for users to leave them unchanged.
Now we have a Darigan Draik and then you we have an Unconverted Darigan Draik.
The UC Darigan Draik is worth twice as much as the revamped Draik.
I'd hate to see on CS there being "UC Rainbow Mane UFT!" and have converted Rainbow Manes be worthless.
And while they're the same pet, you bring up a good point that there are going to be people who no long like them, or now value them differently.
I'd just hate to see the Neopets UC fiasco on here. I know this isn't Neopets, but it was a nightmare there when they decided to do something like this.

I voted 'no' for the revamp. I also agree with Tyr.

I see your point and I agree. I value equi's 3rd unlike most people who hate them. I just would hate to see them go

I really don't like this idea! Honestly I wish the new lineart could be changed to the old lineart, but that's not going to happen. I LOVE the equimagine lines, and the value of them will drop so much if you change them! I agree completely with Tyr.

i wanna point out that CS continues to grow every day, and the sort of.. history with equimagine's lines isn't the best to help reputation. i don't know about the rest of you, but i'd prefer all the designs to be on yulynh's lines to get rid of the "controversy" that's come with the old lines.

not to mention that the horses just don't look uniform, and it's difficult to dress them up when not all the items fit every one of the lines.

So you'd rather we get rid of Equi's lines all together? There's no "controversy", it's not some huge thing that will make people hate CS. And as Tyr said, it's easier to make the items fit the linearts than to change all the old horses and ponies into the new lineart.

Actually it is much easier to transfer all designs onto the same lineart instead of making all new items not for three linearts (horse, pony, draft) but for eight (3x horse, 3x pony, 2x draft). It's going to save a lot of time in future.

yes, that's what i was thinking sorren. plus it just wouldn't look very good to have 847689376 different item linearts. it'd get confusing, for me at least.

and i was referring to the controversy being debated by others on the thread. new members are going to look at it and wonder why, if CS is so against art theft and tracing and everything else, why this lineart is being allowed. i'm not saying it was, because obviously i don't know that, but it's still a part of CS history that's there and it has a negative impact on our reputation.

seriously awesome idea apparently unpopular opinion but those new drafts are gorgeous i want this a lot wow

This is so great! OMG guys vote yes xD
I sort of can see it both ways, but I'm leaning towards tranfering old designs onto new lines. If we just leave them on the old lines, then it's sending a message that says: CS tolerates art theft even though we don't. It would probably be better just to erase that idea from everyone's minds by a little change.

definitely gotta agree with you here.

I'm really not seeing what the big deal is with changing the linearts, and now people have anti-equine transformation project banners in their sig? Really?
Sure, it may seem like it's "deleting CS history" and other things, which I can totally see, and at first I thought of no as my answer.
But think about it. There is a chance that:

• a. Tess/Nick make it so that you can switch from a new/old lineart.
• b. There will be a section in the archives to view the old linearts.

I just think that we should just hope for the best and kind of get over it. I wasn't really a fan of the lineart anyways, and this new lineart will make everything easier, items and all.
Even if the things above weren't done, I personally wouldn't mind, but I'm looking forward to it.
Sorry if this post offends anyone, but this is my opinion ( which I have posted repetitively ), and I think you should take it to mind.

Sweety, the reason for those anti-transformation banners is because it's almost like they're taking pets away from us, and we don't really want that to happen.

I am for the change of linearts. It is just easier to have one set of lines then three.

[kibbleeCat]

The new drafts are kinda ugly but i hope the horses get the new lineart. <3

That is quite disrespectful to Yulynh

It's their personal opinion Not everyone is going to like everything, then there would be no variety in the world.

I personally really like the new drafts due to the faces <3

I like the new drafts too, but I also like the old ones. That's probably the only thing I would take into consideration about this project

[air mail;]

I'm not so sure if I like this idea or not.. but I'm going to have to vote no.
while new draft horse releases sound nice, I don't think it's completely necessary to get rid of a few linearts so more items would fit horses.

Nobody is taking pets away from you. They are simply updating the line-art. You'll still have exactly the same pets after the update, only in different lines :b

I dont think they're taking pets away from us, i'm not all for the idea but it's kind of extreme to say that and make banners, lol.
