Don't get me wrong or anything, but I was expecting Maraquan Bori to be the turtle of the group cause it could make more sense. =/
I can't see a dragon being a turtle, truthfully,but there it is and it does look good...just wasn't what I was expecting.
Very well done, even if it's a dragon-ish creature turned into a turtle.

Pirate Lenny owns,but I think the Brown, pink, and Rainbow still own it.

That must be Lenny Day CC.

:o I think I'm gonna have to start zapping my Pirate Shoyru and PRAY.

Well it looks nothing like mine and it doesn't have wings which is pretty bad. It's a very neat idea but a Maraquan turtle would have been beetter suited to the Bori or maybe even the Skeith. It's very nice but just not right for the Shoyru.

I think its absolutely rocking! I try not to criticize artwork, just because it is such a subjective thing (business and PR decisions are free ball though) so usually I just say nothing but this is amazing.

Can someone post the beaten pose?

Reading Scy's post on Neocolors. Now I can take that Mara Shoyru was the better pick for a turtle since he was right, Mara Bori would be a Bori head on a turtle body. Now that I think of it, unless Mara Bori get their ears chopped off as a maquan color...it won't look right.
Though I still hold my breath for an ankylosarus-like tyrannain Bori.

Now I fully love Maraquan Shoyru. :D Wouldn't own one though.

EDIT: Quoting Crush from Finding Nemo: Gnarly!

True but it doesn't look right on a Shoyru since the WINGS were chopped off...

I feel that wings on a creature that lives underwater is wrong...which is why I don't like Mara Shorchio.
Having wings on something that lives underwater kills the point that's it's a creature from the seas. But...like I said, this is my opinion.

Mara Buzz lacked wings, Mara Draik also lacked wings, and mara Korbat got a good trade off for its' wings.

Also, as Scy said on neocolors, Shoyru is also a natural reptile, so that makes it even better pick over Bori. *shrugs* If this causes no Mara Bori for a while, I'll be happy.

Name: new
Description: 7th jan


The name says it's a Tiki Tack Visor, but I can't see anyting there that resembles a visor. o_O


If you hadn't told me it was a visor I would probably never be able to figure out what it is on my own. :lol: The angle is a little odd. o_O Now I can see the visor though...it's just... I don't know, hard to tell.



Were you guys not old enough to experience the 80's? :o I can't believe what I'm hearing...

That's an electrovisor, and looks almost 100% like one, even down to the rainbow band across the middle, and the lights placed inside the band....the coolest things at one point, I used to wear them at the roller rink...

I so have to collect those now. :o

Good thing they're gonna be cheap. XD

Wow, that is one sweet shoyru. That is, by far, one of the best shoyru colors. And it definently holds it's place at the top along with the other outstanding maraquan pets. I think having it be turtley was a great idea. 8)

Such is the life of an evolved flying creature, lol. Oh, I'm just blown away by the Mara Shoyru.. fantastic! :hug:

I'm glad I'm not the only person that took one look at that Shoyru and had Finding Nemo flashbacks. I looked at it and went "Duuuude!"

Who said it DEvolved? Didn't cows used to have flippers or something, and then they evolved to hooves when they started living on land instead of in water?

It's just an adaptation. ;)
