I like having smaller gems along with the one bigger gem, and how the gems on the Hatchlings are real gems and not just little lights.

Once these are done I might finally actually finish my breeding projects.While the old art is not bad, these look magnitudes better. A credit to improved skills.<3 that being said i have to agree something feels slightly off but only slightly! i can't visualize it myself, unfortunately my brain doesn't work that way but: female: I believe the female's head should be turned towards us just slightly, to me it looks like she's overextending the turn of her head. I never noticed in the old art because i simply wasn't paying attention. otherwise to me she looks perfect! male: -unless its on purpose it appears the male's head is smaller than the female? I see this as well on the old art but the definition makes it more obvious here. -i'm also wondering if slightly shortening the front arms or widening them might be something to consider? because of the male's pose it makes his arms seem more..er.. "leggy" for lack of a better term. you can also see them being wider on the old art. i will admit that i'm both surprised and not surprised to not see as much changed as other breeds but i mean. there wasn't much to change was there? It's mostly updating art and making them look as fancy as everyone else now is. i'm adoring the addition of extra crystals and more fluff though! i'm doing happy tap dancing imagining the foxtail and chipmunk on this new art! the gradients!

For the head size difference: I think some of it is partially the perspective. The males would be a little bigger than the females, but due to all of our artwork being restricted to the same canvas box, we have to 'scale down' larger things - which then makes prominent features, like heads, become smaller.

But noted. =) Thank you for the feedback!

I think the adults are too chonky, more like "a long-eared, bunny-tailed Luffox sitting upright" rather than an actual rabbit. Just swap the bulb gems for tusks and horns, maybe give the Luff a rabbit ear mutation, and they'd pretty much be interchangeable. (I can't un-see this comparison now; it's a Luffox with a different pose.)



(Edit to add: I think his right arm - HIS right, visually on the left side of the image - is sticking out too far. The elbow placement looks more "foreground" than the leg, like it sticks out farther when bunny forearms usually tuck in towards the center more than the hind legs, not out away from the center and over the legs. elbow tucked behind the leg would look more bunny)

(This also applies to the female hatchling. I'm starting to think they have developed human shoulders with the revamp sketch, lol)




The more rounded female face also looks more similar to the Luff now, since it looks like a triple-curve (cheek, chin, cheek as if she's holding her breath with her cheeks puffed up) versus the current pointier V shape with the fur curling downwards on the cheeks, but no actual cheek puff making two additional curves.

Also gonna throw on some references of actual upright rabbits, which are more slender and lanky than the current bulbs, but at least the current bulbs don't have the sketch's level of chonk. There's some more distance between the leg and arm on the current one, and the arms don't reach as low as the new sketch.




Since we have the Luff now... I'd rather see some differences enhanced with the Bulb revamp, to be honest, not the opposite where they look even MORE similar. Luffs = chonk rabbit; Bulb = "more realistically proportioned gem rabbit" and not "also chonk rabbit but with gems."

So exciting!! I love revamp time! I love the new gems and gem placements, I think that will help G3 be more fun/noticeable. I'm most excited to see what gets done with the traits, I feel like bulbs get really muddy sometimes, like the traits overlap a bit too much. I would also love to see fairy wings get a nice upgrade, they're gorgeous, but kind of sit behind everything (unlike the other wings).

I personally always think of Luffox as bunnies and Bulbori as hares. The current sketches make the Bulbs more fluffy and chonky, which takes away from their current hare-like appearance and makes them more rabbit-like.

I think it would be good to maintain their slender, stronger, longer bodies rather than fluffing them out to become more like (as Xav said) a Luffox in a different pose. I think even just elongating the face rather than squashing and fluffing it out could go a long way (the current adult sketches seem to have very squished snouts and round faces - maybe it's the perspective?)

I love most of them! There's something off with the adult male's pose (specifically in the arms) and the face (weirdly flat for the pose) but otherwise the revamp is looking great

As with all of our species, none of them are intended to be a 1:1 match with an existing real-life animal. They are always, first and foremost, fantasy creatures. The Bulbori is obviously very much inspired by rabbit features and that is the main inspiration, but it is, first and foremost, a Bulbori. I don't think we ever intended on designing the Bulbori to look exactly like any species of real-life rabbit. It's just meant to be a cute fantasy creature with rabbit features (long feet, small tail, big floppy ears, chibi-ized bunny face, etc).

It's been a very long time, but I don't think the Luffox are intended to be bunny/rabbit/hare-like at all. I think they were just intended to be cute, little, mischievous fox-like fantasy creatures. Their tails are very similar to the Bulbori's, but beyond that, they are not meant to be bunny or rabbit like at all - and I'm pretty sure the tail was not meant to be rabbit-like, it just kind of ended up looking similar to the Bulbori's. I believe it was meant to just be a short, fluffy tail. And with the Bulbori, we've obviously exaggerated the tail a lot to add more depth and detail to it rather than just a small ball of fluff.

So excited to see the first steps in the Bulbori revamp!

I do agree with the common consensus that the adult male feels a little wonky, I think the head just seems a little small and forward compared to the rest of the body? I think either moving his head slightly back or removing a bit of the neck fluff in the back would help alot, just giving him more form and shape? ^^

I might be alone in this, but I also feel like the baby female doesn't look as cute anymore, I think it's something with how her front paws are? In the original art her front paws are tiny and almost seem to be dangling or at least relaxed/limp. I don't know why but the arm pose in the new sketch is almost giving like old man vibes to me for some reason xD
I wonder if having her front paws lean a bit inward would help? Some kind of pose to help emphasize the cuteness she is trying to portray being on her back and with her tongue out?

Those are just my thoughts on the sketches though! I think they look wonderful, and can't wait to see them all finalized! :D

I do think these look good so far!

However, I do have to agree that the male is a little wonky. The proportions and the pose feel off. I feel like the arms are a little longer and the closest ear is a little too big. The head is also a little too small for its body.

Other than that, yeah, these are pretty cool.

the new adults definitely have a little bit of the same vibe as the luffs. Can't pinpoint exactly what's causing it right now (might just the switch from pink triangle nose to rabbit nose).

The adult male is definitely the one that seems 'off'- something about his head seemed off, but then I went 'hmmm', compared it to the original, and checked something.
Moved the closer arm+shoulder up and in a bit




And I think that's where the problems are from? the shoulder being further back in relation to the back of the head making him look hunched over, and making his chest look broader and thus larger compared to the head.

The baby female also might be having a bit of the chest broadness going on due to the shoulder placement, I think?
The babies are definitely a lot more proportionally different from the current ones than the adults, which isn't a bad thing but is a change.
Wondering if the baby male's thigh could be made larger, more like the baby female's

I'm appreciating the chonkier claws on the adult female. It's what she deserves.
Her head gem being more visible, also good.
Interested to see what happens with the body gems overall, since they're mostly not drawn fully here, and they're a major part of the bulbs overall- the ones on the a.female's leg look a lot broader than the current, which would probably show off the g2s a lot better than the cramped space they have at the moment
