thoughts on the Feepit?
(This the last Neopets review in the inbox right now. Send 'em if you have 'em.)
The Feepit is basically considered the "good" version of the Meepit, whose whole shtick is being evil. This is represented by its design: it's fluffier, including extra fluff on the ears and head, and has speckled blue-and-white markings to reflect its status as a Terror Mountain petpet. The eyes are also considerably less beady, making it look less uncanny.
While the good vs. evil thing is simple, it does give it a bit of a personality and something to remember it by (even if I'm more of a Meepit person myself). I also think the design is nice, just sort of a vague fluffy rodent that works as much cuter version of the Meepit. The design is simple enough to work as a small image, but has enough detail with the markings that it doesn't feel overly plain. Good stuff.
Favorite Colours:
Robot: The robot Feepit is a good clean design, busy enough to feel robotic but not look overly detailed for an item image. The way the fur has been interpreted as multiple metal plates is particularly neat, the shading is appropriately metallic, and I like the lime green and red palette—an unusual choice, but it works here.
Stealthy: I just really like the shade of dark desaturated purple used here. However, even putting that aside, the white karate gi, while not super stealthy, contrasts and pops really nicely against the purple. My only complaint is that the eyes look a bit weird; they really should've all just been one color instead of trying to add extra color in with the black.
Mutant: Look at this goober! The big smile in contrast to the normal Feepit's expression is just too cute, and the three eyes, claws, extra fat, and sparse fur make it look just the right amount of messed up. I also appreciate that this completely new art and not just a trace of the standard pose.
Least Favorite Colour:
Yellow: It's rare that I pick a basic colour for my least favorite because they're usually just pretty standard, but who the heck approved this? I looks radioactive, and all the markings are so washed out you can't make out any detail whatsoever. I'd have more to say, but looking at this is hurting my eyes, so I'll just drop this edit here and then leave.
