Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

[Oliverstorm]

also, will zebras be changed ?
since they fall under equimagine art as well, yet you only mentioned unicorns & donkies being changed too.

The zebras are unlikely to change unless we did a separate poll including new zebra lines so people could decide

Separate poll would be incredible. If we do end up changing all of the other lines, I think we might as well develop something new for the zebras! Look how incredible Yulynh's lines for the draft horses are, and they're just from scratch created solely for the purpose of this project. c; Perhaps others would disagree seeing as the zebras are some of the rarest pets onsite. However, if we're going to change everything about the equine lines, why not truly change everything? If what we're going at is uniformity, I think it'd be a great idea. c;

Softening up to the idea of the new lines now. Still undecided. c;

I think it would be unique if the zebras kept their old lines. Makes them special. And I doubt they'd look good in the new horse/pony lines.

Guys, friendly reminder that the items aren't the main reason they're doing this. Neither is the legality of the lines themselves. It's for the uniformity of the horse lines as a whole within the site.
Also, you can't really compare it to Malk dogs vs Tess dogs; Malk's are very nearly a separate species when compared to the normal dog adopts, with dogs, foxes, and wolves all coming from the same litter and all being very different line arts. Not to mention that she was merging an entire website-it's a very different situation.

But then that just makes CS BORING having all the same lines for each breed?!? Someone up there said get RID of the warrior Cat lines to, and then soon Tess' horse lines will go and any of the ORIGINAL lines that make them the pets they are will VANISH and we will lose the history and growth and difference between the years. I can not express enough how much I hate the idea that this will happen. I LOVE all the old lines. That is what adds to the character of CS and helps it to stand out from other websites, it's not all the same lines coloured over and over. Some people like other lines more, but to take that away from people, even if they are the minority seems unfair especially since we've had them for so long. That's what makes CS.. Well CS the ability to have selection of why to collect the difference the history.

What I've always liked about CS is the amount of variety the artists have provided on the same few linearts. Most people don't seem to find the dogs boring, despite having the same lineart since '08.

Also agree with this, everyone is saying "You might as well change malk's lines if you change equimagine's", and that isn't true. Also people only think this change may happen because of the items not completely fitting, but its not just that... ._.

I honestly think we should have somewhere explaining the equimagine line problem to stop confusion

I believe its at the bottom of tess's post on the first page, Coal put it there.

except it's sort of hidden away if u get what i mean, i think it should be bolded and put in red text so ppl notice.
like seriously it's not just about friggen items fitting omg.
and i find that the coats all look much nicer on the Yulynh lines than the equi lines, and the 'natural' coats actually look more 'natural' on the Yulynh lines (1st image).

I don't believe it's hidden at all, nor do I see any reason to bold it or change the color. The idea of switching over the lines is primarily for uniformity, not for items or tracing.

Agreed, CS is unique from other pet sites.
A large part of CS is about retired lines etc.
More variety make the game more fun!

The donkeys will be changed as well? How would that even work?
And I agree with J e l l y b e a n's post completely. It applies to me as well: I've been collecting them for a very long time simply because I like them way more than the Yulynh linearts.

Nostalgia's great and everything, and normally I'd be full against changing such a large part of 'CS history'... but man, those old lines never looked right to me. The face, the tail, the awkward legs... change please.

Random thought:
What if all the lines were changed just for a short time, like a test? Then we could truly decide if it was in our opinion a change for better or worse, take another vote, and see if anyone's opinion changed? Then we could perhaps be a bit more clear on the decision.
Just a thought. :3

A trial would be nice, but if it was reverted, all the work the artists put into transforming every horse would be lost D:
We should just stick to comparing the examples on the front page.

It's a LOT of work to change the designs over. I doubt they would do it and then change it back.

i think itd be interesting having them all in the new linearts, the only things im unsure about are the ppa horses and the rainbow mane
