Hey everyone! Kat here~
i just had a little question for everyone. How would you feel about me getting us new line-art? it would be done by kiara and would include updates for old things, as well as some brand new things, such as demi-gods, elders and more. However, I'm a bit ocd in that i like the art style of all my line-art to match, so it would include new line-art for a lot of the things we already have. also included in this would be a massive overhaul in a lot of the shops systems (some of which, i realize, need a lot of work).
After some consideration, i have decided to redo the vote this way, so as to prevent the possibility of anyone using mules to vote multiple times. Everyone may vote once, staff member and shop-goer alike. You will use the form provided below, please post here in this thread.
As before, please feel free to pm me with any questions and concerns and i will tell you what i can.
Voteing starts: now Voteing ends: May 31st
Form: Username: Vote: (yes or no) Questions or comments?: (do you have any questions or comments about our plans that you would like to share?)

Username: F a l l a c y Vote: No Questions or comments?: I'll probably be the odd one out on this but I strongly prefer the current lines.I already voiced my opinions on it before and don't feel the need to repeat myself. If the fell on deaf ears then that's okay~ xDDD
edit - I feel the need to re-speak my opinion. I feel that new lines isn't the answer to revamping a shop. I speak from experience as a shop owner myself. I thought it was the answer. Let's get rid of the old lines in order to rework the new stuff in easier when I found out it just made things terrible. People didn't like the new lines as much and I found myself missing the old lines. I wondered why I couldn't just revamp the shop with the current lines it had and I wish I did.
To sum it up - you guys don't need to go through all this work with new lines in order to fix things up and rework what you want into it. You can still use the normal lines. If any anatomy issues are present why not just ask the original LA artist if you can tweak the lines a bit to be more anatomically correct? (The only real standing issue I see you guys complain about is the female legs)
To me these new lines seem -too- different. I believe someone else said it reminds them of the shop E.A.S.Y. Which is exactly what it reminds me of too. The new lines are cute - yes - don't get me wrong but I'm not a huge fan of them. Something about it just doesn't scream izunes to me. I don't know why D :

Form: Username: Revel1984 Vote: NO Questions or comments?: I prefer the old lines, i feel they just need cleaning up and they'd be fine. The new lines are cute but i much prefer the original... i will say the templates on the new lines look much better as colored templates than they do raw lines but i still vote no.

Username: Anthro!Sparky Vote: No Questions or comments?: As I said in shop thread, the new lines are cute, but I'm just not digging them myself. I am probably the odd one out when I say I don't really care for the whole Deities breeding with mortals that was being talked about being added in. It's pointless to me to make all new line art just to include that feature.

Username: Bloody Hell Hound Vote: No Questions or comments?: I like the new lines and all, but I'm not a fan of major change like this, I think the lines should all just stay the same that they have always been.

Username: Nafretiti Vote: No Questions or comments?: Like with what the others have said, I just am not digging the new lines at all and whilst I don't mind the idea of Gods/Goddesses I just think that something like that could happen by just editing the lines we have now without needing a whole new set.

Username:SunFireDemon Vote: yes Questions or comments?: After coloring on the current lines for a few years now I can honestly say that there is issues with them. Several have been slightly updated more than once to try to fix the anatomical errors with the legs and heads. Either their legs would have to be broken or disjointed to actually stand the way they were drawn. the faces on the god and goddess lines of all stages had issues. several of the heads looked smashed or the eye positioning was off. the front off side leg of the adult god still needs work. With all this already done there is still much be be fixed
Editing on the lines is fine until you get down to the legs. how they are done it is a pain to put boots or shoes on the zunes and have them look decent. there is such a short space form the paw to the hock, it leave you little room to work with and do long boots. thus the foot wear appears small on the large body zune.
With all that being said I will move on to the idea of elders and demi gods. these would have their own unique line art since they are separate stages. So there will be no "editing the ones we already have' The elders is meant to be an incentives for people to rp their zunes. It is a reward for all the fun playing a owner does with their pet. The demi gods is so that people who would like to breed their god with a normal zune can. It would also allow for more interactions with the gods since there is so few of them. The would need their own lines so they wound be confused with a edited normal or god. I feel gods only breeding with gods is far to restrictive.
Also there is currently two different line artist that have done the lines. Kyuu did the original lines. And Kiara has done the baby from of the minis and the fennec foxes. It would be nice to have all the art appear uniform in style. as opposed to two different looks. Even though Kiara tried to make them match the old, you can still tell the difference. The now lines would make them all clean and uniform. Kyuu will still get all the credit for the concept and creation of the shop and original idea. And the rework would fix the line art problems instead of struggling to fix the errors on the existing ones.
With all this being said the new lines for the entire shop isn't just so we can add in demi gods. it is to add new features, fix anatomical errors, make them easier on the staff to work with, and to get a unified look to the entire shop.

Username: iMoony Vote: No Questions or comments?: The new lines are very pretty. However, their legs are long and to me that looks odd. I'm used to iZunes being "sturdy". I think I like the kits, though.
But people get used to a certain style. With such a major overhaul of the lines like this you might want to just consider an overhaul of the shop. Close done iZunes 3.0 and either make 4.0 or tweak the name. Just make sure to mention that it's an "updated" version of iZunes. It might also get you some new customers. 3nodding (If you weren't already thinking of doing this. You might have... )
There's my two cents. Really nice lineart, considering. Great job, Kiara.

Username: Strawberri Stardust Vote: Yes Questions or comments?: I like the new lines, I like the additions of demi-gods and elders. I do not however, like deities breeding with mortals. If demi-gods were able to be customed or bribed to go with a certain deity (for example, a demi-god of lust could go under my god of love) then I'd be okay with deities breeding with them. The babies would either come out as demi-gods or have a small chance at coming out as gods.

Username: Fayt_of_Redemption Vote: NO Questions or comments?: As others have said, the new lines are cute, but I like the old ones much better. One glaring problem with the new ones is the legs are WAY out of proportion; they're too skinny (in particular that male up top) and far too long, particularly visible on the back legs. Almost makes them look like they're some kind of kangaroo hybrid. While the old lines do have their anatomical errors, they're more glaringly obvious with the new ones. The templates do look nice though. I'd probably still get new zunes if the new lines were adopted, but I wouldn't like them nearly as much. I'd be all for updating the current lines/templates to match the new ones, however, and having both.

Username: Kiara Lime Vote: yes Questions or comments?: Being the artist, I tried to make these more proportionally fit as the older lines had their errors on them that even frustrated me when editing them into full cosplays or oc's. The slightly longer legs were made so the outfits wouldn't be scrunched up with so tiny space in order to give those cosplays and fully clothes oc's a better look and there are a lot of them.
As for the older lines I did the Fennec foxes and the second staged for the mini's, as well as updated some of the gods lines as well as upgraded the wings on all of the stages.
sunny pointed out everything a lot smoother than i ever could thouhg when it comes to explaining *snugs sunny*
it also helps with bringing in more new people to get a new community into izunes to share and have fun with each other.
It's not like there wouldn't be an option to upgrade or not.
I do see more opportunities though with new breeds, possible outcomes and a fresh feel on things.
