EchoEternal Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The Fishing Vortex has new art! I think it looks pretty snazzy, but I will miss the derpier Grarrl that was in the old art XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracejane94 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I noticed this too...I wonder why the change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I prefer the old art. This one has a bit too much perspective on the pier for my taste; it's too short to actually "shrink" that much. Or those are some monster-sized pets! Plus the pets' coloring kind of just blends in with the pier. And where is that boat going to take them? Out of the air bubble and then... sink in the sea? I've always wondered how much air pressure is in that bubble, to hold back the sea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I like the change! They've been updating all of the art for the other dailies- definitely took them long enough to get to this one. And I like how the Krawk has developed a beard over the last 9 years. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomancer Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Of all the things Neopets could be focusing on improving, they do something trivial like this... :shiftyeyes_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The art has evolved a lot over the years, and it's important to present a consistent art style around the site, so updating old art is important -- especially really old, 2-tone art. I'm just not sure this particular art was so outdated it needed to be done. Some of the older items are in much more need of being redrawn, I think (compare items on page 1-2 of your SDB with items on, say, p. 100).

Neomancer Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yes, that is what I was referring to :). Some of the items and other art still like abysmal. And when is Neopia Central getting an update? siniri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I don't think TNT has any intention of updating old art on items. That would be such a momentous project to do every 10 years or whatever. Updating the art of extremely old shopkeepers and dailies is way more manageable, in addition to drawing new items and clothing, etc. And this one really did need to be done- I think it's art was even older than Neopia Central, though I expect that will be the next land to get a makeover.
