jellysundae Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 ._. I SO want to like these jubjubs. Multi-coloured polka dots on a white background are a thing I absolutely love. I have a fleece throw on my sofa in that exact colour way and I adore it. But that jubjub... There's too many dots, they're a bit too small and they're too close together. It looks like it has some kind of exotic pox. Pastel has that faded look that makes me squint. It's cute, but next to the brightness of anything else it looks like the colour saturation's been decreased by 25% The pastel pets must surely look weird when customised because of this. I need to check this out on DTI to see if I'm being unfair to pastel pets, I will do this at some point. TokaValencia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 They should have made pastel look like cotton candy, similar to how cloud looks... well like a cloud. Another missed opportunity for creativity by JS. TokaValencia and jellysundae 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Oh no, the more I look at the polka dot jubjub the more it annoys me A MASSIVE pet peeve of mine is a thing that lazy artists do, and it's been done on this jubjub... Pattern that's just layered on top of the thing being drawn, and doesn't follow the natural lines of the thing at all, and look how much it's been done on this little guy. The ones I've outlines in red are where the colour of the dot's changed the colour of the outline really noticeably for me, the blue one seems to fill the space between the tufts of hair almost, I'm kind of amazed that that green polka dot doesn't go over the top of the eyebrow there! This lack of give-a-damn is another reason why this little guy doesn't hit the dizzy heights of cuteness that he really should be doing. sky_blue_eyes, deboratibi and hrtbrk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to check this out on DTI to see if I'm being unfair to pastel pets, I will do this at some point. I'm quite partial to my Pastel Xweetok, Ellava--maybe it's just me, but I think she's quite pretty I do agree that a lot of the pastel pets look washed out though, and it's much worse when next to such a bright, stark pattern as those polka dots o.O I want to like the polka dot color, I like the spots and the colors they use, but it's just never well executed Dx Why are the jubjub's feet and eyebrows orange? Couldn't they have used one of the polka dot colors so it would match??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't they have used one of the polka dot colors so it would match??? Shockingly enough, I LIKE the orange. I thought it was going to be that odd vaguely dirty-looking pink that they tend to use for polka dot pets, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the regular jubjub foot and brow colour. I honestly am going to spend some time playing with the pastel pets, because I am aware that I'm a pretty harsh critic and I want to give them a fair chance.

Rometus Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 aw shoot i thought it would be a good idea to invest in the zombie jubjub mp, since it's an unreleased color but it exists as an item. i thought i might get RICH ahahah the problem about the polka dots for me is how haphazard they are. Like that corner-of-the-mouth one. it doesn't look right to me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josi Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I think pastel is cute. I kinda like the faded characteristic of the pastel pets than make you squint your eyes to see them properly. Polka dot is okay, but as Jellysundae said: 8 hours ago, jellysundae said: Pattern that's just layered on top of the thing being drawn, and doesn't follow the natural lines of the thing at all, and look how much it's been done on this little guy. If you have noticed it can't be unseen. Outfit is okay. I don't know which popstar it's supposed to be... It's strange that the dress has sleeves (in the small picture) while jubjubs do not even have arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Outfit now huh? *scrolls up* ... Seems we're still firmly in the "totally random outfit chosen for totally wrong body-shape" camp that @deboratibi has identified as TNT's M.O. of choice. 5 hours ago, Josi said: It's strange that the dress has sleeves (in the small picture) while jubjubs do not even have arms. See above, it's starting to seem almost like they do it on purpose! "ok, it's Jubjub day coming up, how can we show how much we don't care with the outfit for this pet?" "Ooh ooh, I know!! How about a dress with long sleeves for a creature with no arms??" "PERFECT, give that person a bonus!" That's a cool hat, shame it's species specific, though the placement's odd, the jubjub faces right but the hat's facing left, it looks like the image needs flipping. Damn it, you know I'm starting to hate how I come across in these pet day threads...I'd LOVE to have lots of positive things to say about each new thing, I really would.

Yuiina Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Naaaaaah! I don't like those colors and the outfit... hum I don't like outfits on jubjubs, they look "weird". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deboratibi Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 This topic is great, everyone's comments about the polka dot is spot on (forgive me) 22 hours ago, Panthersclaw said: I'm hoping for a cotton candy jub jub, but they might do a wrapped candy (If they do this I want it for a kiko) YES! A wrapped candy Kiko would be adorable! But it would probably affect its "wearability", so they might just make it a peppermint or something like that :\ 12 hours ago, jellysundae said: Seems we're still firmly in the "totally random outfit chosen for totally wrong body-shape" camp that @deboratibi has identified as TNT's M.O. of choice. If they do something like this again on the next pet day, I'm going to ask them about it on the editorial! lol Nah, I won't. But each day I'm becoming more convinced that they don't make these outfits with the species in mind... I'm gonna give them the benefit of doubt and say maybe it's not because they don't care... Maybe they came up with this system to diversify the outfits? To make the artists draw less of the same for certain species? Ugh, I don't even know. And as Josi said... What popstar is this even supposed to be? I don't keep up with current pop music, so if this is a reference to someone's actual outfit, I would never have known it was a pop outfit. jellysundae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO ET! I think this is something that really could do with addressing if they keep on pulling this shizz though, but I can't see it EVER being chosen to be answered in the editorial, lol, but that's not really the point of submitting a question to it, is it? I'm assuming the editorial can be like an unofficial way of sending in a complaint? If enough people send in (cutely worded sycophantic) versions of, "WTF did you do that for?!" about something, while they're not going to print these things they'll be made aware that people as a whole are unhappy about something.
