Novs feel a bit uninspired, you have the same cat copy pasted over and over, IMO you should at least change its expression or something.

Edit: nice I see you updated the novs. GLWGB when you get there

I think a tad lighter shade of purple would be nice.

I dig the deep purple but a less dusty shade would look better imo, the current shade is basically gray.

novelties are absolutely beautiful so props on that, but the colors are off for me. Doesnt sit right.

Post by: JustMilica on Sun, 17 April 2022, 15:53:11
Agreed with the person who said that the novelties feel uninspired, they lack cohesiveness imo and the color, as others have also said, is a bit too dusty and grey and currently not purple enough.

Huge Update!
1)Changed the colors for the mods and accents!

I like the colors. Would be interested in a dark alpha kit, or dark alphas in one of the base kits.

The new mod/accent color is a big improvement! It actually reads as purple now while keeping the super dark feel. Excited to see where this goes! :thumb:

hello, thanks for your remark, the light was pretty awful because I didn't have the chance to post with a good light at that time. Now you can see a new sample photo.

No Latin Base/Alt Alphas? Seems pointless running sublegends only and offering an international kit. Completely ruins the entire look.
