Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

[Akele]

this is just my opinion, and im not sure if this has already been mentioned, but if it has this is just my opinion.

I dont think that they should change the lines, so far i have not seen any evidence that they are traced, until i see some i refuse to belivie so, changing the lines is in a way (remember this is just my opinion) is disrespectful to Equimagine to just remove lineart that has been draw during their own time and then just throw it away! you can say they traced it, but i will be covinced when there is proof, but until then, saying that you think they traced them if you have no proof is annoying, please do correct me if im wrong, also like mentioned before, some people have large hoards of the old lines and to remove them would be unfair to them and for sure would make them upset, secondly if it was decided not to be changed its good all round, those who support the change wont be bothered too much because they have manged for the whole of CS's existance so why should they get all in a fuss if its decided not to go ahead?

to sum it up:

its best for it not to go ahead because you can't miss what you never had, and those with horads or have a prized pet that consit of those lines will be happy and pleased, if it is allowed to go ahead, then you risk upsetting a large number of the CS community, more people are happy (including those supporting the change since as i have said already, you can't miss what you never had) if does not go ahead.

To those who are complaining that the "tracing" is made up, equimagine herself admitted to the mistake. I think that should be enough proof for you. But that's just my opinion.

On a completely unrelated note: It would be nice to see the lineart change, so that we have pets that are more uniform in style to some of the other species here on CS. I've seen other pet sites do it all the time! Some that I've been on for 7+ years. And you know what happens every now and then?

Linearts change!

A new artist gets added to the staff, and produces a fantastic new coloration for a species that many other artists and staff members love, or they're hired to come up with a complete rehaul of a pet species' design. Ultimately, there are always people who aren't going to be pleased with it.

But you know what? We here on Chicken Smoothie are awfully lucky Tess and the rest of the staff are allowing us to vote! There are MANY other pet sites who do not give their users that choice. The fact that we can even have a debate about all of this is absolutely fantastic! So thank you Tess, for letting us hash everything out.

Irregardless of the outcome, I am happy about that! C:

fuzzeh, what would you propose people who had hoards of the old lines? i was just wondering what you think would happen to their hoards?

Well, if the line-art changes, I think their hoards will become hoards of the new line-arts. And if they don't like them, they will likely get rid of them. I really have no idea why you're asking me this?

It could always be changed to "Equi Design Hoards". c: I don't see that being a main issue though. xD

Exactly. They will lose their hoards that they have probably worked long and hard on for quite some time.

ok people, i have been shown proof, an i didn't know she admitted it, but i did state that, i was kindly shown proof so i am convinced, however they were partly copied from real picture/photos of horses/ponies, therefore no artists art was claming wrongly, as so i continue to state that it should not be changed, anybody that disagrees (im not being rude i just generally would like to know) what do you think would happen to those with hoards, how would they feel, and what do you suggest be done? i find it mean to let those with hoard or a dreamy with old lines, feel upset while others are feeling fine. please tell me what you think.

Nothing will be lost. Just changed. You'll still have every single pet you've collected.

I know, but the point of the question was that if people love and hoard the old lineart then they will lose all of it because of the changes. And if you look on the front page and look closely at the new colored in versions of the original lines, the design looks different. Especially on the pony with the wave on it.

You do know that photos are art too and stealing photos is art theft..right?
You do know how long it takes to take a good picture like the ones she traced from, right?
How is that not art theft?!

The designs aren't different, they're the same. Some have been made a bit clearer to maintain the quality and consistency of CS pets. If people had a hoard in the old lines, they can still keep it, or trade it away. I love designs for their designs, not the lineart they're on.
