Speckled and Silver Draiks

[Jove]

Never satisfied, are we? XD Kidding. But honestly, there aren't that many interesting colors left to release. Lately there have been a lot of colorfills, and there's nothing wrong with that. They're not that amazing, but honestly, what were you expecting?

I keep seeing people say, "there are no more interesting colors to release," but I have to disagree - unless the pet has all the colors out there, which I don't think any of them do, there are plenty of interesting colors that can be released, a list for the Draiks that I made on the other page. They could have done sponge, chocolate, grey, snow, etc. and those are just the ones I'm interested in seeing. I know other people who want to see zombie and jelly draiks. Additionally, even with the colors being sort of bland by nature, that doesn't mean they can't do something interesting with it - look at the speckled grundos - I love the way they concentrated the speckles toward the center, and had fewer speckles on the antennae.

Saying there are "no more interesting colors" is a cop-out.

Although the speckled grundo is rather nice, I was referring more to colors like Royal, Desert, you know - The ones with clothes, or rare pets like the mutant peophin which are amazing without any clothes. Draiks have most of the popular colors done. They can look good, but colors like Sponge and Snow and such are rarely good to the point where people will go "OMG MUST HAVE."

If I'm making sense. >__>

It makes sense - but you're getting into personal preference there, rather than whether or not an interesting color could be made.

Just because you or people you know don't care for snow pets, for example, that doesn't mean that a snow draik can't be done in an interesting way and that others aren't interested in seeing or owning one.

I don't think clothes make a pet look amazing, although I know people would disagree. And that there are many interesting pets done in colors without clothes (have you ever seen a UC Sponge Blumaroo? Totally amazing.) I know people who are obsessed with snot pets, for example, which doesn't have clothes nor is it what you might call "rare pets which are amazing without any clothes."

All personal preference there.

True, but I'm talking about the majority. Darigan, Faerie, Royal, pets are just more popular than the colorfills. Not that I agree with that, I think there should be more love for simple colors. And low-popularity pets, but that's a whole nother story. XD

Anyway, all I'm saying is Draiks already come in the most (generally speaking here) popular colors, so what's left is well.. you know.

Aaand to be more on topic since the two of us are sort of taking over this board, I like how the Silver Draik isn't as shiny as other Silver pets, reminds me of the old Stone pets that are now long gone. =D

How quickly the Mutant Peophin is forgotten.

If I recall correctly, you had quite a few gripes about the Peophin.

Actually, it was one gripe: that the stylistic execution wasn't the same as the rest of the pets.

And either way, I'M not the one making the blanket statement about "all the most recent color releases."

[Deleted]

I said "most." I never used the word "all." Don't misquote me.

My exact words were:

most of the released colors have been kind of dull and/or poorly done.

AND

Dull, uninspired and unimaginative.

Like many of the recent pet colors. Boo.

I kind of like how the silver one has spots in its wings. It makes it interesting instead of looking so plain. ^^

Speckled is alright too.

I think it's good they're releasing simple colors. Now with customization you can make your own pet as interesting as you want adding clothes, even if they're a default color. Plus if they'd release all the "most popular" or "most interesting" colors, they'd run out of them eventually. XD Yay balance. =3

Lets not start an argument here. <<;;

Well I admit, they're not the -best- colors.. but its definitely better than a couple of scribbles here n' there. *shrug* It's not like I can afford any paintbrushes anyway so I can't complain.
