Original by Plasmid

Revision Sketch by Otani

Finally an art that I can actually show off. ^.^Barring strange circumstances this should be the last character that I want to get fully redone.While I really love the current art for the mimic and treasure chest, she only has three expressions, and Plasmid is not commonly available for commissions. So I feel that shifting the artist will also allow things to progress smoothly in the future, while also making her a bit more dynamic to capitalize on the feeling of her lunging out of the chest.

Feedback will be greatly appreciated! :D

This is amazing! I really love the change! The old mimic felt like a Jojo character

This definitely looks a lot better. I always thought that the old mimic looked rather grotesque and had to replace her art in the game files with some generic mimic CG I found online. One thing you might want to consider, the mimic's huge arms look rather masculine. You might want to replace them with tentacles or something? Just a thought.

Wahoo. What a nice upgrade. Awesome!

Fishnets make everything better -chef kiss-

I will miss the old art, but you're making the right choice - being able to change, add, and improve in the future is valuable. THat said, I'd like to see the new chest's arms be less male? More neutral? More monstrous? I'm not sure, there's something about the arms I'm not a fan of. I love how the arms are wearing loads of jewelry tho, that part is awesome!

But unfortunately I think the quality is technically better than the first, but otherwise it's ok.

Nexusman

The new art is overall pretty good but the arms are worse than the original. As some people already said, make them less masculine/massive or replace them with tentacles or something.

rip old mimic, you will be dearly missed

I always thought this character needed a visual tweak, and she definitely got one. I never thought she looked BAD, but she always felt a little plain, and her hair always looked bit odd as well. I like the direction that the sketch takes the new design in. As others have pointed out, it may be beneficial to lose the masculine arms in favor of something more neutral, feminine, or less human all-together. While I'm sure there are people among us that don't have any issues, or maybe even get turned on by the more masculine arms, there are some like me who actively avoided this mob purely because seeing masculine arms on screen doesn't really "do it" for us.

Plasmids Art is just great, it's sad he isn't available. Especially his Succubus Arts are awesome. ( i hope he will be availabel when it comes to the capital). But i get why you wanted to Upgrade her =)

regi

Everyone already hit the nail on the head but I'm just commenting for numbers, arms need more femininity or just don't make them arms.

Silentwatcher

I love the jewelry on the arms in the new art! It makes me think about getting chest art with jewels and necklaces and pearls etc spilling out from the lid, hinting at precious treasures within, only to be revealed as that arm jewelry when the chest is opened!

Tribe

I think the arms are fine and fit the mimic theme. Making them more feminine isn't the right play. The idea is to make the center/most-interior (the treasure) the feminine part of a mimic, otherwise, there's no point. Just my opinion anyway. If I had to criticize anything, the arms don't share the same quality as the rest of the image. However, I don't think it's bad, and I also believe that this better suits what the game is trying to accomplish from my perspective.

Coconut-Sama

Personally, I think the new art is far more attractive, but I think that if the mimic is supposed to be sexually appealing, the arms should be more feminine, otherwise they're fine, the jewelry is a nice touch, symbolize greed and it's punishment (or reward depending on if you wanna snuggle with the hottie) but I will say that excluding the female body, the rest of the new mimic looks to be of a lower quality then the centerpiece, needs to be cleaned up imo, otherwise, with the new art, maybe I'll actually like what I look at and maybe start enabling the mimic again cause the old art really didn't suit my tastes

BlackStar

I strongly prefer the old (fully nude) mimic. I personally prefer monster girls that sort of push the boundaries with what may seem attractively different to some players. As a middle ground I guess I would just change the chest’s arms, but overall I love the original.

Anonymizing

I slightly prefer the newer version of the girl part of the mimic simply because I like it when characters aren't randomly naked. I really appreciate how much more menacing the mimic is in the new version. The arms are burly and actually trying to grab you while the chest looks like it's going to dig its fangs into you. The old art is nice but just doesn't have that level of vibrancy. The chest and arms are just hanging limply.

Noir

Love the tattoos of the new version.

Konstantinus

I really like the new art better. The body of the mimic where the worst for me, so it is not so bad still I prefer to avoid her.

Rylon

I think a stronger outline on the new art would help, as the coloration of the arms blends together a bit and makes your eyes work more on the details. I'm perhaps neutral, as I like matching expression for dialogue but also appreciated the older art as well. I'm sure it would be a whole ordeal to have it as an option (Like Fenoxo does) so that's not really viable. Thanks for the update as always! I've never commented on one of yours before so I should pass along that your writing and worldbuilding are truly fun. Cheers!

Goruru

It's safe to assume the only thing getting redone is the art, yes? If that's the case, I like the change in the arms and how they can catch your eye with the sparkly bits (I'd take away a few of the twinkles, but not a lot) and how they draw my eye. The old arms were almost invisible to me. I have no real stake on if the arms are feminine or not. For the body in the middle, I have to ask, why fishnets? I know that they can be appealing, but I don't think they go with the reworked theme. I'd put non-dangling golden ornaments at her wrists, ankles and hips with a small, decadent headdress to keep the treasure trap thing going. And since she has a long tongue and some have been hurting for more monstrous monster girls, you could give her a veil over her mouth and have the tongue loll out the bottom when she does the monstrous kiss. Maybe take off the veil during the loss scene?

Awww, I really liked the frizzy hair...

ilikefour

I like the look of the girl, but she kind of looks pasted on top of the mimic drawing. I'd love to see a little more interaction between her and the treasure chest behind her.

TGR

Concur with this. Overall definitely prefer the newer art, but she looks separate from the treasure chest so I think there's an opportunity to make it better

Abragail

I think the revision is an improvement. The original was nice and i especially liked how powerful it looked with those huge arms coming out of the chest. Adding accessories and jewelry to the revision was a good idea. Being a chest mimic and not having some kind of riches or trinkets felt lacking and the revision does a better job of making it feel like it's a treasure chest mimic and not just a standard chest. On a personal level the hair in the revision is just so cute I love it bunches.

SalamandarDirect

I liked the look of her buttcheeks squishing on the chest

Smartin

The things I see here for the games development are worth the 5 bucks a month I hope to see a new version asap and good luck with the development.

Genickzwirbler

Prefer Plasmid by a longshit. The other drawing looks very flat and thus unappealing.

Token

This is a case where the original artwork is more faithful to the idea of what a mimic is. The revision is just a succubus sitting on a chest.

Damn, this looks like a massive upgrade over the previous one! I assume the final version will have more shading to give it more depth, and once that is done I can't think of anything else I'd want changed about the new design. This looks seriously fantastic well done, Otani!

Tribe

Sorry this is so late, Thresh. I got really stuck on the comments about feminizing the arms but the comments about her being pasted on top and pushing the boundaries of being a monster-girl ring true to me. There are so many great things about this new art but I think if you're going to invest money in this you should request a redo IMO. She's looking more and more like a succubus who happened along and took a seat. Everything seems detached to me now.
