Plushie has been updated too - I like the acara revamp overall but they seem to have gone wrong with this one, check out the uber thick lines!

Now I'm really afraid of what they're going to do with Tyrannian :(

On the yellow one you showed, I think the orange lining kinda clashes...

Anyway overall I think its awesome!!! It is a fantastic piece of art, like all the others, but (also like all the others) sort of lost its rough edges and became simply a cutsie pet. Not that its ever had any competition with the Skieth and Grarrl-type pets, I think they could have made it a little less girly.

Oh gosh. That would be it.
A large headed, furry, cute baby with a diaper with smilies all over it.

Wasn't the Acara supposed to be a water creature anyway? So why it is so furry?


It could have a baby seal type thing going on o_O

From their info page on neo:
Acaras are one of many different species that exist in Neopia. As a general rule Acaras are fantastic swimmers that are just as happy on land as they are underwater. Their thick fur keeps them warm when diving to the depths of the ocean.


Hence the furryness, hehe :D I'm fearful for the future look of my maraquan acara though, I thought the redraws would have been safe :| I like the revamp, I just don't know how it would look with the maraquan one *worries*

I think that the re-draw is quite well done. :) Just my opinion though. ^^;

I like the redraw, but why did they redraw Baby? I liked the Baby Acara the way it was. Besides, they've never revamped a Baby pose before that I know of.

*hides her baby pets*

I don't know who keeps drawing the eyes like that, but it looks awful.

Thu Jun 30, 2005 7:02 am

NOOOO...take off of neo for summer break and look what they did! :cry:

My acaras...all...all...uglified!

I don't mind the basic ones, even Perfect_Patches my plushie can live with her new look...but JubiNumo...oh dear...what the?

Now she has maggots on her head! Where are her tentacle-thingies? :o Why do they look like maggots now???

Image

And worst of all, with the baby acara revamp they lost the coolest hit stance of all IMO....

RIP cool hit stance, I'll miss seeing you on my pet lookup....

Image

Sigh....they better not TOUCH robot. I waited too long to get Acaran_Robotix the way he is. I'll die if they mess that one up.

But seriously, the happy/circle/sad poses for the Acaras are cute, but I don't like the others. I'm still keeping mine, however. I'm sure Faerie is safe.


:o Too cute for Medli-San?

I like them. I own one now. Unsure of her personality, though. I may come up with something.

Well, I like the revamp for one reason. I got sick of seeing acara butt in my face. >_< You guys can ask for acara butts waving in your face again, but I'm not. I kinda never liked acaras much because of that reason.

Ok, I said on another forum I go to that baby acara is the best of the revamp,but Val reminded me of the wonderful hit pose. Ok, I want the hit pose back for baby acara. >_>

I thought this was a decent revamp, but I said that with Mynci and look at what happened to my beloved Darigan Mynci. =( I still love mynci revamp and all other revamps this far, except Quigglee,but when TNT revamps colors that don't need a revamp, that's annoying. Tyran, Mara, and Robot acaras better not be touched. Well acara butt on mara can go. *whistles as she walks away*

What in the name....

You leave for a week and everything's *changed*


I don't like the way they revamp most of these pets. Obviously they must have a new artist in, and he doesn't like the previous person's work or something.... :roll:


Why not bring back the original pets. *sniggers* Old school baby ! :P

Hahaha, agreed. The butt thing always did bother me a bit too. That's why I painted Jubi baby to begin with, she's my main battle pet and I liked not seeing hind-end all the time and baby was the only option to avoid the attack from the rear if you know what I mean. ;)

But yeah, I could live to accept the new baby acara if they indeed put back that lovely, lovely hit pose. :) That pose was the bestest! Gave the baby acara a lot of personality, IMO. Which is just lacking now with some of the new poses :D

Fri Jul 01, 2005 7:21 pm

It would be funny if TNT put the hit pose back. Baby Acara revamp, I just noticed the head isn't as annoying as the more early baby pets with large heads. I must be getting a liking to the baby now.

Christmas and Snow are half updated and if Neocolours gets back up I can't wait to see them talk about snow acara again.

Cause...the carrots are back. :P

On christmas one...

I think the sad pose is really cute now.

Heh, my laptop really doesn't want to see the new acaras, it takes so much refreshing! I'm really impressed with how fast they're going through all the colours, they seem to be working a lot faster recently what with this acara revamp and the major item revamp they're doing.

The acara revamp is growing on me more and more though I'm still fearful for my maraquan acara - I wouldn't mind it having such a cute sad pose but I don't want it's angry or defensive to change :) And of course they might not touch the redraws at all...

Spotted, speckled and split have also been updated now =)
