These are so pretty, I'm seriously in awe. I didn't care much for the zolnixi before this, but now I think I am in love.

I do personally prefer the sly little grin the first version had over the general grumpiness that the new version has, and I'd love to see some of that back if you choose to head in that direction with him. I also like the slimmer muzzle a lot more, though his lower jaw is much thinner than the upper jaw, making it look a little... I dunno? Odd, I suppose.

This is super minor though, he's gorgeous as he is. Fluffy baby <3

Beautiful great job on the fluffiness! So glad I already have some pretty ones that I can see change!

I just wanted to get this comment out there for this revamp and all future revamps because I've been seeing some comments going in the opposite direction.

Please, please keep the sexual dimorphism to a minimum? Most of the species that are the primary example for these pets don't look especially different when it comes to male and female and I kind of hate it when the two pets look as if they're completely different species. Case in point would be the current morkko, which makes me quite sad to see. An example of after the revamp would be the vulnyx, which I do love dearly but they really look quite different to me and I don't like that.

This revamp in particular is kind of on a thin line for me, it's extremely obvious which one the female is, she's quite small and girly and "dainty" looking and I just. Kind of wish she wasn't quite so much? Honestly this redraw looks very nice and it's not a big enough difference to put me off much, but I really wish that the two pets wouldn't quite be so...Obvious about the gender difference.

I really enjoy the Draeyl, Griffi, and Nytekrie in that respect. They're clearly different genders but the female and male still look distinctly similar. And while I know these pets have a distinctly human influence in pose and expression and all, because we want to connect with them...Just. Please. Don't make it so that the male always has to be "tough and sturdy and serious" while the female is "dainty and smiling." I do like that honestly, the females usually are my preferred pet because they're more interesting/pretty to look at.

I guess I'm just trying to say that...I love the human influence in the pets, and I know making them distinct from the other gender gives more personality but just...Try to keep it kind of minimal? It bothers me a little seeing the same thing in the genders of all the pets, and the calls for making the pets even more "masculine" and "feminine" and taking away from the fact that most animals aren't that different it just...Well it gets to me a little.

Not trying to kick up a huge fuss or sound whiny or anything. I'm loving all the revamps, all the art has really been improved. Just...Food for thought, maybe?

I love them but i kinda want the male to have a slightly happier expression.

^^^ I support this, so much XD

I love all this fluffiness <3

I agree, I feel that's where the Qit went too. I love them both, but still, different body types... And horse breeds tends to have beards regardless of gender

Foxity would like to remind Don that it's lower jaw is smaller. :D



Foxity needs a thin tapered jaw to shove it's face into small holes to root out prey. ;D

Edit: Deathdust, the Tari is based on the Kirin, not a real horse. A real horse wouldn't have a lion's tail, or scales on it either. ;) Unicorn beards were often seen in medieval depictions, as well. Modernly, those beards are often used to distinguish male from female.

I love the new designs, I used to avoid the Zolnixis a little bit but with the new designs I'd definitely want a few. I love how the face is the males are more serious, and the hatchlings eyes are so big, so very cute!

I like the changes to the male. The pointier snout and adjustment to the back make a big difference. I'm probably one of the few that likes the more serious expression over the full on smile of the first version. I could see maybe curving up the corners of his mouth a tiny bit to make him a little less serious, but I like it.
