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.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of these. Sorry to the artist!

The Crikey's weird flat, stretched right arm (our left, his right) looks odd to me. The Ercuw looks wonky and strange, I think the head and wings looks rushed/too simple. The Poera is huge and weirdly positioned (the tail behind the neck doesn't look comfortable, and the body is thin under the head then gets suddenly fat). The Feliz's face looks like it's tilted too much (I think it's the way the mouth is drawn). The Ushunda looks incredibly different from everything else, especially the eyes. The rest are fine in my opinion, just not my thing.

I don't mean to insult the person who did these, I hope something constructive can come out of it.

Not a fan of these revamps at all. The line art/shading just looks way more sloppy, sorry – like the Huthiq or Snookle especially, those costumes were super detailed/unique/had cool props and poses. Now they're barely even contoured. Not usually one to complain but I really don't like the idea of simplifying down the art...!

The art is just... poor quality compared to usual. It’s a real shame.

I personally love this art. Sure, there are a few that could have more detail, but I really want to thank the artist that did this. There is something for everyone on this site, that and the wonderful community are what brought me here from other pet sites.

i think the art is cute but definitely lacks the polish that most of the newer revamps have. it kinda looks like a revamp concept rather than a finished product. the art for the potion bottles is amazing tho :love:

Thank you for changing the garish colouring! It looks much easier and softer on the eye now! 😊

The art sadly does fall flat. It honestly looks like a downgrade to old mara art.

For constructive input, primarily the shading is bland, there’s a lot of awkward anatomy, and very poor detail that’s excessively slapdash. In my opinion a huge mismatch to current quality standards.

That said, the colors are very pleasing and some of the imaginative poses could be cute. The artist has great potential, but right now there is a lot of room for improvement.

Well. I am glad I changed Zoe now.
I think this update is kind of a hit and miss. some look a bit flat, while others are really nice. The peora looks really big compared to the rest, even though it is same size.

I think my favs would be newth, figgy, and xio. The huthiq and quell I thick could use a bit more depth, and I have never been a fan of any ushundas.

Oh god, what happened to the fasoro? Why would it even get changed, the art was already updated?? The others are okay (although the art is very flat so I'm guessing a new artist), but why would you change the fasoro? It was so cute before with its little turned paws and sitting pose and big feet, and now it just looks...generic.

These sort of look like they were redone a long time ago, and were just now release, or were rushed in a night or two. I'm sorry, but that Huthiq is way too crusty. The Figaro looks great, but the rest look like MS Paint traces. Sorry to the artist, but we probably deserve a little more quality for paid content.

This is a big no. Just give people the option to keep an old costume instead of changing to a new one

If I could be a little constructive, the art quality itself seems to be not up to site standards unfortunately. If this whole costume series could have been reworked to the standards of the Straya, the costume could have been really special. Compared to recent costume releases like the new recycled pets and elf pets, these really fall flat. Maybe we're just used to higher standards these days with so much great art.
