Sorry, my comments were un-called for. I apologise profusely.

"Frankly pathetic"?  That's not very constructive (or polite).  If you want improvements to the creatu, try content in your critique instead of generic slams.  Is it the pose?  Shading?  General anatomy?  Be more specific, and I think you'll find more discussion about it.

Personally, I like the Draqua.  I'd like to see more variety in its colors, and of course I'd love to see the Dye Kit colors added.  I think that the Black, Albino and Silver versions are a little flat and lacking the detail I've gotten used to.  (It could also be that I've become spoiled by the newer colors like those on the Vaspi and Cyid.)  XD  The lines on the back "fins" are a little...I don't know, it's hard to describe...blurred?  dense?  When I look at it, I can see a little cleaning up there, BUT I also wear reading gla.sses.  It's nothing that's stopped me from adoring the Creatu, especially the Blonde ones.  

I can see some room for improvement, but I think that it suits the overall style of the site.  :]  

Sorry for my 'frankly pathetic' comment.

I don't like it's pose. It just looks as if the Draqua's tail is a ring and not nice and long (actually, I thought this was the case until I had a REALLY close look at it). And I don't like the way it's fins are drawn.

Unfortunately, one person not liking how something is drawn isn't really a call for a revamp. There's a difference between a Creatu having obviously outdated art (like the Drindian compared to everything else) and a few people just not liking a particular Creatu.

There's no way for someone to draw something that absolutely EVERYONE loves, because everyone has different tastes and opinions on what's good and what isn't. Considering that the vast majority of the site likes the Draqua, I highly doubt that a few dissenting opinions is going to make the admin completely revamp them.

I would agree that the Draqua could use a revamp, although it's not because of the pose at all.

It's just.. little things with quality.

There are some uneven, sort of uncertain-looking lines here and there, especially on the tails. They're not too noticeable unless you're really looking, but they are there. The lines differ in heaviness between stages, too, so the teen and adult look almost faded.

And a bigger one - the shading, while being just as uncertain in places as the lines, no longer entirely fits with Res' style.

Look on the outline of almost any Creatu that isn't super, super old. It should have a thin band next to most of the lines where there is no shading - just the base color. The Malal's the most obvious example of this that I can think of.

On the other hand, all the Draqua's shading goes right up to its lines. This makes it look like it must be floating in space, with nothing around that reflects light at all. Gives it an odd, basic sort of look. The look you get when a person's pretty sure about shading, but they haven't actually done shading studies in order to learn reflections and backlights.

Basically, it looks unprofessional.

Also, the albino Draqua has a similar problem as the albino Sirleon had - it's extremely washed out, which makes it look extremely old as well. It's so bad in the Draqua's case that I find it literally painful to look at. Granted, my eyes are pretty oversensitive on brightness, but still.
