I love them, yet I want the female to be it's normal form cause I think it's a bit better. Please and thanks. <3
God bless you! <3

Honestly, I absolutely love them. I was so worried I wouldn't because I love the lup so much already. They still have that lupora feel though, they're just enhanced and a bit less cartoony. I think they're great!

AlsoI I really don't get why do many people are complaining about the manes. That is what a lupora has always been like. That is the hallmark of the species. Without it they're just wolves.

I think they look very nice! Though The male's leg positioning makes the overall pose seem a little... stiff? Like he's trying to be a statue. The front legs on the male are also pretty thin.

The female looks amazing, though I do think there may be a bit too many lines involved in the fur on her mane, as well as the fluff on the baby girl. I like how on the male there's a nice empty space of no lines in the middle of the mane. The female's looks very tangled & a bit matted.

Other than my nit-picky animal artist notes, I'm absolutely in love with the new lupora look! Can't wait to see it implemented into the game!

I am very much not done, but it's almost 4am and just wanted to get a point across. I'm not an artist by any means but I think some of these changes would be huge improvements.



so far the changelog is:

Both:
- Paw length increased and claws shrunk while leg length stays the same. This is what I meant when I said that I don't think the issue is the length of the legs at all, but rather the build of their paws! I feel like this looks muuuuch better.
- Noses shrunk. I felt they looked a bit clown-ish at the size they were.

Female:
- Hair curled for 40% more ruggedness
- Head slightly shrunk
- Expression changed to be more "tired of your stunts, Helen"
- The left foreleg bent a little at an awkward angle, fixed that

Male:
- Expression change so the males are the happy and sweet gender for once (though I'm not happy with my execution here)
- Ears made slightly smaller and thinner

The expression change, slight alterations to anatomy (male's ears being thinner), and the male keeping a greaser look while the female looks like she just got out of a fight in the pit, I think would be a much better way to go in terms of sexual dimorphism. Because again, very tired of all the females being invariably demure with doll-like anatomy lol

Why does the male look hurt? is that on purpose?
Edit: Nevermind. i didn't read till the end of the thread XD

I like that better, but I'd prefer the female's head fur slicked back

I think they are perfect! :)

*gasp*

....


....

They're glorious. Maybe just longer legs.

Wow! I realy like the more wolfy look and the hatchlings look great! Though I feel like the adults should have slightly longer legs and they lack the detail in the fur the hatchlings have...

Wow! Fears assuaged! (except for all the criticism with which I disagree)

I really, REALLY love the direction you guys are heading.

I especially love are the way the adult males head is positioned: tilted down in a more fierce and dynamic position. And the female adult has that head up yeah, I take care of pack, what of it? look~ perfect!

The hatchlings look feral, wild, and adorable!

Their manes look so good, as well. I really love how fluffy and full they are, but.. I have to parrot what others have said: Im worried theyll cover too much of the body traits. Its difficult though, because I want the floofy tails!

Leg length is fine or could be longer, I dont really care either way.

Overall, Im SO in love with these. They look really wolfyto me anyways. I just really like them a lot, might be my favorite revamp so far~ Darn artists are so good!


More serious breakdown of thoughts
Ill end up going against a lot of the previous criticism.

I severely like the long ears, they remind me of of something fantastical I cant quite place my finger on.. If the ears are shorter, theyll get lost in the mane. They do not look like puffadore ears because of the lack of fluff and the narrowness of the ears. The current adult Lupora models have long ears, and the males ears look weird being hidden in the point of the mane, which is exactly what would happen if you shorten them: they will be lost in the mane. And actually, the current 'old' model and the new sketches look like they have the same ear length!! So I definitely do not think they should change.

And again, I must reiterate how much I like the males downward head position and expression. A lot of people are saying to make him happy or less sad/angry/grim and ... Im really against that. Theyre wolves!!! We have happy hatchlings to put the eternal youth thing on if happy wolves are needed.
Gosh, I feel like thats saying make the Nyvene cheerful.

I understand and agree with the worry of the tails blocking genes/mutations. However, I do like the fluffiness of the manes and tails. Dunno how to get both fluff and less trait-blocking.

I do NOT feel like the female needs to look more girly I think you guys found a good balance where she still looks feminine without being ready for a pageant.

And again, I like the hatchlings a lot (I may actually utilize the eternal youth item for once). I dont feel like they need to be changed. And again! I like the long ears on them, too!


Honestly, for me, I'd be thrilled if they were implemented right now with what you have.
