*grumble grumble dumb holiday grumble stupid inflated cards grump*

Okay, okay...in all seriousness, I do like the artwork for the gifts and the chocolates. And Officer, it's not just you - I just looked at that shop blog and someone messed up the lines big time on the Altachuck's paws and around its head. They're way too thick. It also needs to be fluffier-looking, and the shading around the eyes is kind of wonky. Shame, as the rest of the blog's just fine. Guess there was a rush to finish it, or something. =\

I think the altachucks eyes really throw it all off

I won't claim to be an artist or an art expert... but I kinda like the Altachuck. It goes very well with my checkered lupe.

So, it's not a new sidebar for Valentine's Day; everyone automatically gets it today as a one-day deal (unless you send the MVC, that is!)

And a few minutes ago, I read the news in Spanish to see if I was just not understanding, but now I'm pretty sure that there really is a new one.


No one can be sure about anything in the virtual world. But my guess is if there is a new sidebar released, you will hear about it here on PPT first.


From the news:
You may have noticed you have a spiffy new side bar for Valentine's Day. This is a collectable theme that you can unlock, you just need to figure out how :D


As the news is released a day early, that paragraph has confused a lot of people. The date of the news is for the 14th - meaning that the sidebar you see on the 14th is the Valentine's Day sidebar, but if you unlock it, you can keep it. :)

Now that it is the 14th, hopefully the confusion has been sorted out. :)

EDIT:

The same quote is seen in the 2005 news (The year it came out).

Disturbing. Really Disturbing. I like myncis, especially my own "baby" mynci, but Yikes! I wonder who glued his hands to his face? (Runs away from new features and won't come back until this is gone)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this to be really disturbing. I think its the lips that bother me the most.

Or that its eyes get bigger when it closes them.

Matrinka, sigh_driven already mentioned this, but I wasn't talking about the Altachuck <i>petpet.</i> I was talking about the art on the new shop blog; I thought I made that pretty clear. In fact, the reason I didn't like the shop blog art was because I think the petpet is very cute! :lol: Seriously, compare this:

with the one drawn on the shop blog at the very bottom of this page.

See what I mean? That drawing doesn't do the poor little thing justice, does it? But the Altachuck petpet is adoawable. :P In fact, I want some more Altachuck colors. I'm dying to see what they come up with for Faerie; if it looks good enough, I want to give one to my Acara.

Anyway, hope I made my point a bit clearer this time. Sorry for the overreaction, but being misunderstood drives me crazy.

Whoa... didn't mean to offend anyone with my altachuck comment.

But not that things are clear... that linked picture was atrocious. YUCK.
