The Valentine Costume was first released in February 2009 in Account Upgrades and the costume has been retired and forgotten about ever since. A new Valentine Account Upgrade Set has been released, with 7 new Valentine themed items, a retired Valentine Costume and either a Valentine Enchanted Plushie or Valentine Potion. This set is on sale until March 14th. You can choose if you would like the main prize to be an Enchanted Valentine Plushie or Potion. There is 1 in 3 chance you will receive a limited edition Snookle instead of Azul, Crindol, Fasoro, Flab, Newth, Speiro, Xoi and Zetlian.





The Valentine Arinya, Crikey, Crindol, Ercuw, Figaro, Flab, Huthiq, Newth, Poera, Quell, Snookle, Speiro and Xoi have been updated to match the new style.





The Feliz and Ushunda can now wear the Valentine Costume.

after getting that exquisite Simerian costume update, where every pet had fabulous detailing.

in comparison this feels unfinished and rushed.

@lordsrinivas I am the artist who made both Simerian and the Valentine revamp, along with some other ones. I have seen all the feedack posted here (and boy is it plentiful) and I think the few new upcoming valentine pets are gonna be somewhat better accepted.

Thanks for all the wonderful (and not so wonderful) comments! The feedback is really important to artists.

I enjoy your artwork so much, and honestly this collection is up my alley with how I want my pets to look. I really connect with the cute, innocent looking pets. Thank you for putting in so much work and creating such beautiful artwork.:love::blush:

@jaanaanita Im glad you and so many other people like it, although it could be much better.
I rarely dabble in commenting on my own work, I usually just scout the comments, but this AU was so polarizing that I just had to :D

@Koichi I have a lot of respect for how you've handled the feedback! My comment definitely wasn't meant to insult or upset you, I like to draw portraits and every bit of feedback is always useful to me and I believe that's how artists grow. So it makes me happy that you're taking it positively and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next :)

@Nom I just came to say the exact same thing, they definitely changed. I liked them before, but think they're even better now. Great job, @Koichi :love: Feel free to fix the Valentine Reese's nose while you're at it :grin: That was my least favorite Reese update when they redid it years ago hahaha

oof, these almost seem like a step down from the older costumes - like the quell, if you showed me the older one and the newer one, I'd think the older one was the revamped one. They look like they're missing shading and depth :( no shade to the artist, just seem rushed

nightsister wish my doll looked nice
even tough i cant buy it for now, i also felt that it was a little rushed like people say.

the style has that cutie~ vibe, which i loved, and i fell in love with this little guy as well

but i think something interesting is about the lineart of the characters, like, i heard that when we always paint in black, its just show that hardness~ feeling, something strong.
i don't know if a pastel lineart or more soft would do the trick? anyways, they look vintage~ :blush:
