*stares at the Shadow Mynci* ... I think the Mynci needs a revamp. xx; At the moment, it's doesn't compare all that well with some of the newer look pets.

I couldn't agree more, the Mynci is in dire need of a redraw. But not quite as much as the Tuskaninny :P

Do you realise how much it needs one? :roll:

I love Shoyrus, and don't think it needs one any time soon. I'd rather the Mynci, Eyrie, or Quiggle get one. They deserve it more. :P

Oh No! Eyries do not need a revamp!! Nononononono!!!
I love eyries, they are majestic, and well drawn, they stand out well, and, well, I wub them :hug:
I think the Tuskaninny or Quiggle need the revamp. They are a bit out-dated, and they're a bit flat.

You'll find my list there. It's entirely accurate.

Exactly! My Eyrie will peck TNT to death if they revamp him! (provided his beak is still sharp :roll: )

...You can't hide from the fact that the current style is stiff and crappy...

...I'm holding out for a revamp on Eyrie Day in October...

...But remember when they didn't do a revamp for one of the pets which needs it most - the Shoyru - because the majority of people weren't in favour with them for it? :roll:

after what they've done with some of the other pet redraws, they need to stay far away from Aishas and Kacheeks! Like really far. I also like Korbats and Usuls just as they are.

Eyries? I think look fine. Tuskaninny I agree needs some help, but then again, I also think Buzz does too.

When they redid the Lenny they completely changed the mutant - I was saving for a tp. The old mutant Lenny was awesome, now it just looks like a drawing of a buzzard, and the new Lenny reminds me too much of the corn flakes rooster.

I'm still not completely thrilled with the Lupe redraw, it's too close to the Gelert - as in much more puppy/dog than wolf based. In Defender Trainer they have the old drawings and there's a huge (IMHO) difference between the old and new Lupe.

So, touch up? OK, I think we can all go with that - like some shading, etc. But please no more major complete redraws! Most of us created/adopted/painted/morphed our pets because we wanted them to look a certain way - not have them completely changed on us.

What are you talking about?

There's only ever been one Mutant Lenny.

My list in the 'Which pets need revamps?' thread is entirely accurate. If you can find any faults with it, feel free to tell me and I'll tell you how wrong you are.
